WASHINGTON, July after
many delays the Senate investigation
into the alleged misuse OF Senate Of
fetal stationery to exploit the Gold
Hill Consolidated Mines in North Car
DINA, is in fair way to get under
steam the last of this week. Senator
Thompson OF Kansas, was selected
Monday by Senator John W..
Kern to preside over the investi-
cation. The probe will be conducted
by five senator's, three Democrats
and two Republicans. Chairman
Thompson and Senator Hughes, of
New Jersey, and Senator Lea, Of Ten
nessee, will be the Democrats on the
committee, and Senator Kenyon, of
Iowa, and Senator Clapp of Minneso-
ia, will be the Republicans Ali of
them are Progressives.
Chairman Thompson said yester-
day that the committee had no plans
yet, and that he was waiting for Sem
ator Chiffon, Of West Virginia, to re-
turn to Washington as he will be one
! OF the principal witnesses and is one
OF the Senator's whose committee sta
( tionery was sent out carrying a very
favorable statement of the POSSIBLE
ties of the Gold Hill property. 1t is
( probable that the first meeting OF this
subcommittee will be held on Thurs
day at which time plans will be made
as to the extent OF the investigation.
The committee is not authorized to
\ pay witness fees, and its authority g
| not so broad as most inquisitions
| nrdnred nv the Cnnate
1t is not expected that the investi-
cation will require very long. The
committee will undoubtedly call SEN
ators Chiffon and overman. and Wal
ter George Newman, who Is the NOV
ing spirit behind Gold Hill, and who,
it is understood, is anxious to tell the
committee about his mine. The In
yestigation also will develop Just to
what extent government experts have
been used, and whether government
employees, or employees OF the Senate
have been promoting the sale Of the
! stock.
Coincident with the declaring Of

the Postoffice Department at 18th
street and pennsylvania avenue, de-
manded some relief, experts who were
appointed to investigate the mali con-
ditlons IN Washington made the start
ling discovery that so per cent OF the
city's mail Is franked by the various
executive departments and by Con-
gress. Eighty-eight per cent. OF the
individual parcels were ranked
that is, out OF 100 letters, only 70
went under the regular stamp. But
even this does not indicate how dis
proportionate was the difference be-
tween paid and non-paid mail matter.
The weight of the ranked matter rep
resented about IS per cent. OF the
total bulk.
All OF this had to be handled from
the different government departments
ito the Postoft1ce Department, and
from there 1t was re-hauled to. the
Union Station by contract hired
teams. The question came up 'fWhy
not have this mail hauled to a post
od1ce which Is near enough to the
Union Station to eliminate the cost OF
the extra wagons"
The present Office IL the result. The
new building is directly opposite the
Union Station and represents part
of the great circle Of government
mansions which will gone day SUR
round the Union station plaza, Three
million and half dollars have been
expended in the construction OF the
building.
One unique feature Of the building
is the so-called bridge Of sighs''
which connects the postot1ce with the
Union Station. This is apart OF the
general plan of handling the mail by
which all contract hauling win ulti-
mately be done away with. Eigh.
electric trucks will run across this
bridge, which is sort Of covered cor
'ridof, and into the station. They will
run inside the fence which separates
passengers from the trains, and win
unload their sacks of mail directly
into the cars.

ment estimate that these trucks viii

four vans Of empties moved away
from her berth in the harbor, while
four other vans brought up small

Rhode Island and the cruiser North
Carolina went through like expert

That West Virginia will be amply
protected by bordering states in her
effort to secure statewide prohibition
is indicated by the action OF Judge
Keedy, holding court at Hagerstown,

court rejected the application of the
German Brewing Company, Cumber-
land, for a beer license at Sandy

A pathetic appeal was made Mon
day In Congress by Thomas Harrison,
scion OF the Scotland MacGregors, a
native Of Washington. citing the fact
that horses have been pensioned for
their services in the war, in support
OF his argument that some provisions
should be made for the human beings
who have shaved their lives away for

No more dramatic appeal has ever
been made to Congress. So strongly
impressed WAS the committee OF naval
ahatrs at the last session of Congress
that favorable action was taken on q
bill introduced by Senator Jones, Of
Washington state, to award Harrison
"a pension of 500 a month. The bill
passed the Senate itself, but that Ii
Tar az IT ever went, and now Senator
Jones has introduced another bill.

that republics are i1ngrateful, wac
