EXTENSION OF TIME
 IN MONROE LOOP CASE

on application of the Phoenix Street Railway company, the corpo- ration commission yesterday extended the time in which the company IS io answer the petition to extend the Monroe street loop, until March 30. Under the terms of the original or der the company's answer was to have been filed yesterday.

There is also the opposi- ton of property owners on First street, who will have to be satisfied in the event the line on that street k taken up. and cars run over the proposed Fourth street line.

Strong Railroad Lobby Hampers
Reform In Post office Department

PEELED to stand helplessly by while
the railroads loot the postal reven-
ues.
Upon the majority OF the great
mail routes. mail and express trans
portation conditions are Identical,
and it follows from the present in
equality OF transportation costs that
the parcel post rates to the public,
for the higher weights, greatly ex-
coed the express rates. Between
New York and Chicago, parcel pos
tage is sl.2O for 20 pounds, as com
pared with an express rate OF 81
cents a more equitable scale Of
mail pay would make possible re.
adjustment OF parcel postage upon
the higher weights and long hauls.
would expand the public's tfanspor-
tation facilities and would still give
the railroads adequate compensation
under their own standard OF what
constitutes adequate compensation
-to-wit. commercial rate
Notwithstanding the equitable
and liberal character OF the legis-
lation. II was bitterly fought
throughout its several legislative
stages BY the so-called railway pay
committee. an organization repre-
senting certain railroads. This com.
mittee's emissaries were kept al.
most constantly in Washington and.
through an extensively maintained
press bureau, the country was food.
ed with propaganda in which the
attitude OF the postoffice depart
ment and. subsequently. the action
Of the house OF representatives., were
grossly misrepresented.

sure there Is no better way? Are

Have they considered even the

Declares Gillespie Unfit.
To the Editor of The Times:

In your splendid editorial In Fri.

Commissioner Gillespie fairly and

How Easy to Catch Them!

In Houston there has existed and
thrived concern doing business under
the firm style of the "German-American
Doctors" Six so-called doctors, with
palatial offices and an extensive Office
force, have waxed wealthy administering
absent treatment-by mail-to easy
people with symptoms" A secret SER
vice agent of the government got busy,
and, after many days spent on the trail,
secured indictments against the indi-
concern.
The testimony introduced at the trial
showed the system. Extensive and flow
cry advertising put them in touch with
their patients-thousands Of them, too.
Typewriter letters, EXACTLY SIM
LIAR, were mailed to all, regardless of
the answers they gave to the questions
on the diagnosis blank" These letters
were appalling. The patients for the
first time realized their critical physical
condition. Treatment followed, after the
medical fees were RENTED, of course.
A Negro porter mixed the medicines.
He must have been the physician-in-
chief, for the testimony shows that his
compound was sent to all But they
didn't call him doctor and he squealed
when pinched, which was the weak spot
in the scheme.
Beautifully simple, wasn't il? And
SO profitablel Sometimes the patients
died and those couldn't talk. Sometimes
they didn't and they spread the glorious
news. Business was booming when the
pernicious federal agent butted IN.
Alasl Six doctors" two stenographL
ers and one bookkeeper were found guilty
last week of using Uncle Sans mails to
defraud. The penalty is 20 years in the
pen and $4,000 fine, if the federal judge
wants to be real generous. It's TO be
hoped that he won't be niggardly
about it.

WASHINGTON. March 23.-Post-
master General Burieson has got ON
his war paint. All through the last
session OF congress the railroads
were hammerils away at his post

to Burleson's attitude on the mat.
ter of railway mail pay. claiming
that he wanted to cheat the raj
reads on. Of a just compensation
for carrying the parcel post pack
ages. Finally. as result of the
railroad lobby efforts. the postal
appropriation bill failed. Since then
the railroad lobby has started its
active propaganda again. inciden-
tally attacking Burieson. The post
master-generaI has decided to hit
back and IL out In a long. author
lied statement. Here are some OF
his observations:
The fight against the reform Of
the antiquated and inequitable mail
pay laws was engineered by certain
OF the railroads.
THE bitter opposition TO the mail
pay amendment was the sole cause
OF the defeat OF the annual post
office appropriation bill, thereby
harassing the administration Of the
entire postal service.
AThe propaganda. financed by Ger.
tain OF the railroads, has been ex.
tendvely carried on, ostensibly "a
inform the public. but in fact de
signed by it's one-sided, prejudIced
and biased presentation TO mislead
and vrongfully influence the pub
lie mind into an attitude OF antsg
onism 20 the department.
The charge that the railways
have not been adequately paid for
carrying parcel post mail Is not
true"
Mr.. Burleson in effect charges
that the railroads lobby against the
railway mail pay proposals OF the
department were In the interest OF
the express companies, and we're
aimed TO destroy much OF the use
fulness OF the parcel post.
Certain OF the roads, says he.
are now saying that the postoffiee
departments attempt TO remedy the
mail pay situation was an attempt
at railroad confiscation. mott was,
and Ia. a determined. weIl-consider-
ed effort 90 end a system under

system were inadequate, the people
would ignore it, using the ID. L, K. lines
because of their greater transfer PRIV
ileges.
mo man would ride on a city line on
Fort-st. if he had TO transfer To a ID. I,
r. line and pay an extra fare TO get TO
his destination.
"Or we might order the d. I. r. out
Of the streets in which its franchises
have expired.
Even in that case, if We wanted 10
take its property we would have 10 pay
for it--and the courts would probably
fix a high valuation, as they aud IN
Cleveland.
The city would gain nothing by max
ing such a fight, and would get itself
involved in long court war.
The ID. L. X. must be compensated.
ANY attempt to avoid paying fair
price for the property will mean future
trouble.
"For. suppose the city entered deal
involving a security franchise; or sup
pose the city found itself unable to oper-
ate the lines successfully, and wished
to issue franchise
Would you De Wllnng 10 turmSn the
money for such venture, in view of a
history which included an attempt on
the city's part, after franchises were
granted, to force the grantee from the
streets without adequate compensation :?
Il believe that the d. L. r. is anxious
to sell the lines at the terms offered.
The price is high; but isn't it worth
it to the city, to get rid of the D. L. r.
by amicable settlement, at once, without
a fight that may continue for years and
end with no better bargain?"
We submit these words to the think
ing voters of Detroit who are con-
scientiously trying to make up their
minds as to the fairness, both 70 the H.
q. r. and to the city, of the proposed
plan of settlement.
