100000 SAVED IN
HANDLING OF MAILS
Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Tells of Cuts in Ex-
penses of Service.

Reorganization OF the Bureau OF the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
during the past fiscal year has I'M
proved operative conditions ana result
ed in a saving or more than S1.0Oc. ooO.
according TO the annual report OF
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Blakslee. made public tod&y-
Mr.. Blakslse says: The saving ac-
complished through the eIirlina ion or
unnecessary employees within the bu-
reau alone amounts to s1ss. 80 a year,
while the cost Of operation IN the field
has been reduced $4,000. Through the
application OF other improved methods
new mail facilities have been provided
for not less than 10000 people.
An idea OF the Development of rural
delivery may be formed. Mr.. Blaks!ee
says, from the fact that over 3.UD.OnaCoO
pieces OF mail, varying In weight from
a fraction or an ounce to fifty pounds
and involving a total weight OF well on
to 4 half billion pounds are delivered
and collected annually at homes in the
country districts.
Would Revise Rural Pay.
My. Blakslee recommends a revision
OF salaries OF rural carriers N correct
Inequalities IN the present system,
whero saIary Is based alone on the
length Of route covered.
An adverse report on the experimental
village delivery service recently insti-
tuted is made h. Mir BlakSlee. This
service he declares, - expensive ana
mas brought little benefit.
The Fourth Assistants ONCE IS now
engaged in an effort to standardize pos
tai equipment throughout the country.
with respect TO the mail bag repair
shop the report says:
The mail bag repair shop at wash
inSton, where all defective mail bags
that it Is profitable TO repair are over
hauled and placed in good condition
for reissue, has been organized along
business and well defined lines. and I'M
proved sanitary measures have been
adopted.
Tho subnlail bag repair shop located
al Chicago has Seen discontinued.
Saving On Dead Letters.
\ great saving was accomplished. the
report SAYS. through the installation OF
Ia bor-savtnC devices in the dead letter
orricc Other changes are recommend
ed to simplify the service. notably a re-
ductlon of from four years 10 one year
in the period of holding valuable arti-
clos at the dead letter office.

MRS. ANGLE HELD FOR
 DEATH OF BALLOU
Coroner Phelan Charges Her With
 Criminal Responsibility.

Bridgeport, July 28.-Mrs. Helen M. Angle Is held criminally responsi ble for the death of Waldo R. Ballou in Stamford on the night of June 23, in a finding made by Coroner John J. Phelan, today
 Ballou, who was a member of a prominent family, was picked up in dying condition outside a down. town business building in which Mrs. Angle had apartments. To the police that night Mrs. Angle said that she found Ballou at the foot of a flight of stairs in the building, after he had left her, and, that, in the belief that he was dazed from the fall or from liquor, she carried him outside and left him on the doorstep of the entrance. Ballou died of a fractured skull.
 The coroner held long inquiry during which Mrs. Angle, upon advice of her counsel, refused to make a statement as to the manner in which Ballou met with injury. As Mrs. Angle would not talk and because the coroner could not determine the ac- tua, manner in which Ballou received his injury Mrs. Angle is held crim- inallv responsible, and the finding is turned over to Albert Phillips, pros- ecutor of the Stamford city court.
 Finding Was Expected.
 This finding was expected, as Cor oner Phelan, when he closed nis ln- quiry week ago stated that if Mrs. Angle did not make statement by Friday last, he would hold her Tor trial. He admitted Mrs. Angle to ball owing to her nervous state, and she was taken by her father, Leonard Blondell, to Southport, Me. Her bail bond requires her presence whenever it shall be necessary before the super for court of this county. It is like ly that no preliminary court hearing will be held and the case will be taken in charge by States Attorney Homer Cummings, who already has taken an interest in the coroners search for additional evidence.
