"Browning's Emphasis on Crucial
Moments in the Lives of Individu-
ais" Mrs. Mills laid the foundation
if her paper from the poem of

NOT PLANNED TO ABOLISH
PNEUMATIC MAIL TUBES
Postal Officials Deny That Post
master General Burleson Already
Has Reached Decision.

Charges recently me de by persons
companies of Philadelphia, Boston,
Chicago and New York, which asserted
that Postmaster General Burleson al
ready has decided to abolish the pneu
matte system in these cities, are re-
futed at the Post Office Department.
Bur1eson proposed to substitute for the
tube systems motor car service, and
that the tube companies and business
interests in each of the cities were
strongly opposed to such course.
At the Office of the first assistant post
master general, which office has charge
of the tube system, it was stated last
night that an investigation in the
tube system has been going on for
nearly eight months. and is merely
being conducted as are the investiga-
lions in any other branch of the ssrv-
ice.
1t was stated that naturally those
interested in the tube contracts have
regarded the investigation with sus-
picion, but it was definitely asserted
that no action had been taken nor was
any contemplated in the near future.
Chief Inspector Rooms, vice chair
man of the committee which has charge
of the investigation, stated that the
final report of the committee had not
been made, but would be in the near
future.
Il know nothing of any such plan as
that of abolishing the tube systems"
said the chief inspector. Il should say
that some one interested in the con-
tracts had been drawing on their mag
nation"
