BLOW AT MORGAN
SEEN IN INQUIRY
INTO POSTOFFICE
Politicians Say Administration
Is Seeking to Please
Tammany

Washington, Nov. PA committee
Of experts is investigating conditions
in the New York Postofice. The body
has been at work for several days,
but il was not until to-day that the
news Of its activity leaked out Inc
investigation was started by Postmas-
ter General Burleson, and the body
making il is headed by. George sui
ton, chief inspector, Of Kansas City.
Purvevors Of political rumor here
see in this move an attempt on the
mart Of the administration TO sacri-
fee Postmaster Edward NJ. Morgan IN
order 10 please Tammany. This is not
the first time that drive has been
made against Mr.. Morgan, but pubic
opinion has been back of him and
Washington has not considered 1t wise
to turn out so popular a man.
Tammany. with its fifteen votes
holds the balance of power IN the
House of Representatives. Tammany
has desired TO see the place now occu-
pied by Mr.. Morgan filled by one OF the
faithful. Never too loyal 70 the Presl-
dent. the Tiger is waverlng IN It's AL
legiance. and needs pacifying, so the
politicians say.
This much is certain. Tammany tried
to put Joseph Johnson IN Morgan
chair and failed. Later 1t tired 10

again. 1t is still hoping. -,
The Postmaster General, when asked
tonight about the investigation at New
York. said that such examinations were
also being made in Chicago and other
large cities throughout the country.
From other sources 1t was learned that

has been to interfere with commerce in
neiLhboring states
Emphasis was laid on the situation
which has followed the recent Inter
state Commerce Commissions order for
a realignment Of rates throughout the
Southeast under the long and short
haul clause Of the railroad rate law.
The effectiveness Of these orders has
been suspended, Mr. Thorn caid, while
the Georgia State Railroad Commission
has for six months examined them, and
the benefits the commission expected TO
extend TO that entire section of the
country have been held in allegiance.
Speaking Of the difficulties Of fnanc-
ing the railroads, Mr.. Thorn dwelt upon
how difficult it may be for a carrier TO
get money even when the markets are
favorable II II is necessary TO have Sc
curity issues passed upon by one or
more state commissions.
Railroads will need 81 ,250 900 ad-
ditional capital annually for the next
ten or twelve years TO increase their
facilities TO handle the country's grow
ing commerce, Mr.. Thorn declared.
About 100000 a year additional
will be required, he said, TO refund
maturing indebtedness.
Mr.. Thorn said the trainers OF the
Constitution gave the right 10 regu-
late commerce among the states TO
Congress because the history Of the
colonies showed that unwise, unfair
and even dangerous measures resulted
from attempts to encourage the com
merce Of individual colonies at the
EXPENSE Of neighbors.

Jersey Judge Tells Agita-

Patrick Quinlan, an /. ". W. agita-
tor who has been in the New Jersey
State Prison at Trenton since Febru-
airy 26, last, serving a term of two to
seven years for melting to riot in the
Paterson silk strike of 1918, became a
free man at ten minutes past ii
o'clock yesterday morning. Quinlan
was released after Judge Abram Klein
ert, of the Passaic County Court Of
Common Pleas, had vacated the SEN
tence imposed upon him three years
ago, and re-sentenced him TO pay q
fine of $500.
Mrs. John Sloan. of So Washington
Place, wife Of New York artist and
one Of the leaders In the movement TO
get Quinlan out of Jail, opened her
handbag and put the money into the
hands of the court officials almost be-
fore Judge Klenert had finished say
ing he hoped Quinlan would be more
careful how he talked in the future.
Mrs. Sloan has been collecting the
money to pay Quinlan's fine for the
last year.
The money came from various
sources, among the contributors being
Representative Meyer London, Morris
Hillouit, wealthy Socialist lawyer, and
the Rev. Percy Stickney Grant, pas
tor Of the Church of the Ascension.
They gave S25 each.

to Newark. The original plan was that
at Newark Qulnlan should climb INTO d
friends automobile and come dashlng

grand style. but the friend was hav-
ing trouble with his automobile, so
Ouinlan and Keeper Irwin spent

on trolley car. They arrived at the
Courthouse about 1885.

Il was therefore very difficult for the
court attendants, and even Quinlan
himself, to distinguish them from the
ordinary Republicans and Democrats

because they thought maybe they'd see
something good.
Among those who were in the greet

Sunday Movies Safe Here,
Despite Mem Court Ruling
Police VIII Not Act Albany Decision; Mayor Ready
to Urge Legislation; Women Will Help
Picture Men in Fight

Mayor Mitchell expressed the hope
yesterday that the Court Of Appeals
would reverse the recent decision OF
the Appellate Division of the Third De-
partment that the exhibition of motion
pictures on Sunday was illegal in this
state.
The Mayor declared that the exhi-
bition of educational movies on Sun
day, when the great mass of people
could enjoy them, should be permitted.
He said that if the Court Of Appeals
upheld the decision of the lower court
he would look with favor upon legis-
lation that would permit the exhibit
tons. The Mayor issued the follow
ing statement:
81 have read, az reported in the
press, the decision of the Appellate Di-
vision Of the Third Department, hold
ing that under Section 2,145 Of the
Penal Law the exhibition OF moving
pictures on Sunday in this state is lille

personally impressed by the reasoning
of the late Mayor Gaynor, who, as a
justice sitting in the Appellate Divi-
sion in Brooklyn in 1908, ruled that
the Penal Law did not prohibit movies
on Sunday.
There is much to be said, particu-
larly in reference 70 motion pictures
devoted to educational subjects, in
favor Of having them exhibited on the
one day of the week when the great
majority of the people of this city are
able 10 enjoy relaxation and diversion.
