 One of the matters discussed was a suggestion offered by R. D. Hill that the league open 8 bureau or exchange where farmers who are members of the league might list their stock or farm articles for sale or exchange. The establishment of such an exchange, he urged, might serve as an inducement for larger membership among the farmers.
 Out of six or seven applicants for the position of county agent, two were most favorably considered, and these were both present at the meeting, F. K. Crandall of Westerly and F. c. Warner of Sunderland. The latter was the choice for the place.
 MT. Warner, who Is about 2s years old and married, Is g graduate from Amherst in 1909 and has had business experience in both the west and south since his graduation. He has recently been in the employ of the government in Florida In connection with drainage and reclamation work and is consider ed well qualified to take up the im- provement league work here.

REPLY TO BURLESON
Carriers Appeal to People on
Alleged Parcel Post
Injustice.

Assaiing the statement OF fost.
master General Burleson that tine
postal authorities are compelled 70
stand helplessly by while the railroads
loot the postal revenues" Ralph Peters,
president Of the Long Island Raiiroad
and chnirmsn Of the committee on rall'
way mail pay, declares that the reverse
is the case.
"The fact is," he says in a statement
issued yesterday, that Mr.. Burleson,
through lack Of understanding Of the
postal service and through reliance
upon advisers who were accused by the
Joint bipartisan commission OF Con
gress of being ignorant OF their dutles
and greedy for arbitrary power, IS MN
self permitting the government OF tns
United State, TO rob the railroads OF
at least half what is due them for car
rying the parcel post.
"The railroads defy the Postmaster
General to point out single act OF
their rsilway mail pay committee IN
it's effort. TO present the facts in this
case to the people which has not been
absolutely legitimate.
@The American people, when in
formed, are fair. All the railroads ASK
is fair play. The Postmaster General
il determined that they shall not nave
il. The railroads therefore appear 70

ROCK ISLAND MEN
FREED BY COURT

John J. Quinlan, vice-president. as
sistant secretary and treasurer OF the
Chicago, Rock Island e. Pacific Rail
way Company, and Robert L. Forbes,
stock transfer clerk in the company's
offices at ii Wall Street, who were
served with summonses on January ~
for refusing to show the stock books
to Warren c. Crane, were discharged
by Magistrate Appleton. in the Tombs
court, yesterday afternoon.
Crane is a member Of the Amster
committee, representing the minority
stockholders. He asserted that Quinlan
and Forbes refused to let him copy the
names of certain stockholders which
the committee want to use before a
meeting of the directors on April II.
At the previous hearing Of the case
James W. Osborne, counsel for the de-
PENDANTS, said his clients had no OBJ
lection to giving the information want
cd. The reports yesterday showed they
had kept their faith.
The court in discharging the men
said that although such a refusal was a
violation of the law. il did not seem
that Quinlan wilfully withheld infor-
nation from Crane.
