Prominent medical men have long

.JOE HUNTER TOP GUN
At ANALOSTAN SHOOT
Breaks SO Out Of 100 Targets, in
Singles, 48 Out Of so for
Emmons Cup.

Joe H. Hunter carried of high honors
at the weekly tournament Of the Ana
lostan Gun Club yesterday afternoon on
the Eastern branch range near Ben
ming bridge, when he broke 80 targets
out Of 100 in the singles and killed 48
birds out of so in the Emmons cup
shoot, which gave him first prize in a
field of eighteen marksmen.
Hunters record is remarkable one,
as the wind which swept the range
lifted the targets out of their fight and
made shooting very difficult. It was
undoubtedly the strongest breeze that
the members have experienced this
season. Hunter shot from a distance
of nineteen yards.
According to the rules of the En-
mons event, Hunter will be subject to
challenge by any member of the club
at the next shoot, which will be held
October 10. The crack marksman has
won a number of these events and will
probably come out on top in the final
shoot at the close of the season.

War Department Delay.
From the legislative end it appears that
the Carlin bill could have been passed
at this session had it not been for a
long delay after a report had been asked
on the bill from the War Department
Ascanvass Of the Interstate and foreign
commerce committee Of the House shows
that the bill will be reported favorably.
Chairman Adamson favors the bill and
champions an extremely liberal policy
concerning bridges across the Potomac in
the vicinity OF Washington. Unless some
change occurs. the committee will stick
10 the proposal to place the new structure
close to the present bridge, and all pro-
posals to build the bridge somewhere else,
at a greater or less distance away. meet
with the suggestion that there ought to
oe TWO bridges instead Of one.
Col. Lanshtt, Corps of Engineers. u.
s. A.. in charge Of the engineering
work In this section, appeared before
the interstate and foreign commerce
committee at one time and favored the
passage OF the bill, and the committee
Woulo have reported the measure on
his testimony. However, the bill was
sent to the War Department for for
NAL report. In speaking of this move
more than one member of the commit
tee who Is favorable to the Carlin
measure says it was a foolish thing to
do. as 1t has not resulted in anything
but delay.
Members Of Congress who have called
at the engineers office have reported
that there Is a disposition to ask for a
commission to survey the river and
find the best place for a bridge. In
speaking Of this Representative Car
lin said to Star reporter:
Favors Two Bridges.
"I think this idea arises from a
thought that perhaps 1t would be bet
ter to combine the proposed Arling-
ton memorial bridge with the Aque-
duct bridge. However. the two ought
to be separate structures"
Representative Adamson has fire.
Quently said he would like to see a
great memorial bridge stretch across
the Potomac river on the line Of New
York avenue. He also says he would
IKE 70 get report from tne war De-
partment favoring the Carlin measure.
Meantime. owing to the confusion
and the cross wires between the Capt.
tol and the department, Representative
Carlin has gone to see Secretary Gar
rison, who is looking into the subject
The Carlin bill proposes a $1,500, ,000
structure to replace the present Aque-
duct bridge 'at or near the present
bridge. It also provides for the re-
moval Of the present bridge and the
purchase Of land on either side
There has been talk in congressional
circles as to the probability Of the state
Of Virginia and the District of Colum
bia being asked to pay for the bridge
tied. however. as 1t is understood by
those plotting the bill that the War
Department does not care to relinQuisk

ANOTHER POSTAL MYSTERY.
The Heavier the Cheaper u Rule OF the
Parcel Post.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: We
wish to draw your attention to a ridicu-
ious state of affairs created by the new
Post Office regulation. whereby. since
March II, miscellaneous printed matters
weighing over four pounds are ma!labe
as parcel post matter and subject to
parcel post rates.
AS foreign advertising agents we have
to supply our customers with voucher
copies of foreign periodicals., and foreign
periodicals are miscellaneous printed
matter.
The other day We had to send to a
city address "A package OF foreign.
periodicals II weighed 3 pounds and II
ounces. and according TO the above regu-
latlon had to be mailed with 81 cents
in postage stamps. while II the package
had weighed five pounds II would have
cost only II cents postage.
I thought these facts so peculiar
that went to the post office station
and inquired II this was really the
rate at which the package had to be
ranked, and at the information desk |
was told that this was the case. that a
package weighing 3 pounds IA ounces cost
81 cents postage and package weighing
5 pounds cost II cents postage,
In order to clear up this matter further
we wrote to Mr. Morgan, Postmaster OF
New York city, and We received from him
a letter where In matter of fact tor the
same facts were confirmed,

THE HARASSED RAILROA Us.


To IHE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sfr. As
the railroads one after another begin to
practice enforced economies. some OF our
demagogic friends, noticing this apparent
unanimty OF action, begin to smell, or
imagine. a mouse The cry Is already
raised that the railroads are conspiring
together. directed by some giant money
power. II may be. too. that this enforced
economy is an echo OF the higher ef'l-
cheney OF which Mr.. Brandeis Is the
prophet. Yet to me the reason Is simple.
lying only in the effort OF the harassed
corporations TO make both ends meet
Capital. however, looking at the matter
without sentiment other than that OF sc T.
preservation. recognizes that the real
trouble lies to-day In this, that II looks
In vain for incer,ve. Capital is quite
human about 'nis; II asks why II should
venture forth II IT cannot see a tolerably
good path ~ which II can return.
SO the theoretical political economists
are plotting their own ruin. for sooner or
later public opinion will turn and rend
them. Lack OF incentive Is Itself a SUM-
cient force to unity action In similar
corporations even though interlock king di-
rectors are conspicuous by their absence.
Capital In such case piles up and is idle,
assuming an attitude, SO popular now. OF
