SUBSTITUTES ARE PLACED
ON THE Permanent ROLL
Postal Officials Insist Men Now
With Colors Will Get Their
Places Back.

The action of the Post Office Depart
ment in filling the places of postal en-
ployes now serving with the organized
militia on the Mexican border with
substitutes who have been placed on
the permanent rolls at lower salaries
was denounced In the Senate yester-
day afternoon by Senator Townsend OF
Michigan.
Senator Townsend said that the
places of about 5000 postal employees
have been filled and that men who
drew salaries from $1,000 to- s1,40o a
year have been replaced with men at
$500 salaries. Placing the substitutes
on the permanent rolls, he said, made
it seem very dubious If national
guardsmen would get their places
back. He proposes to demand an in
vestigation into the circumstances.

Citizenship Not Questioned.

No question arose as to Jeffrey's claim
to American citizenship. and he was ac-
cepted at Camp Ordway by Capt. Bliss.
He was allowed to enter the guard the
same as any pan who was born in the
United States and who had lived here all
his life. His willingness to serve in the
guard was taken as evidence of good citi-
zenship.
Six men were received at the main sta
ton on 9th street yesterday and sent to
Camp Ordway to be finally examined and
sworn into service. The station at 9Th
street and Pennsylvania avenue southeast
sent five men over. The men sent from
the 9Th street station were Charles E. Fol-
lin, Capitol Heights, D. c.; John L. Fair

Forced to Drop Carriers.

Because of the failure of Congress to
make any corrective provision the Post
Office Department was forced to drop
the letter carriers from the service
after their usual annual leave of thirty
days had expired. The order dropping
the men and the post office act, as
amended several weeks ago, provides
that the men shall be restored to their
old places when they return.
Another aspect of the dropping of
the men is that the Post Office Depart
ment will effect a saving of 7k cents
an hour by appointing regulars to take
the places of the men who have gone
to war. Substitute carriers have been
serving for the last month and have
received 35 cents an hour These sub
stitutes are now made regulars, and as
such receive $500 a year, or 27h cents
an hour.
While no provision was made in the
post office appropriation bill to con-
tinue the pay of the postal employees
and other government employees who
had gone to the front, the bill was
amended SO that any person in the
postal service with an honorable dis
charge shall be reappointed to his old
position at the close of the service
along the Mexican border or in Mexico

employees were dropped, Temporarily.

May Offer Relief Plan.

Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
also is aroused over the matter ana
he and Senator Townsend may offer to-
morrow some relief measure for the
postal employees who have been dis
placed.
1t is claimed that while the admin
istration has been calling upon busi-
ness organizations to continue the pay
of the men serving their country. the
government, because of the rigidity OF
the law and Congress refusal to amend
it, today forced the government en-
ployes and their families to live on the
pay of a private soldier-from SIS to
sac a month. according to rank-instead
of the salaries of from $500 to $1,000 a
year.

Given All Leave Allowed.

The acting first assistant postmaster
general, T. E. Frazier. said yesterday
that the department has granted these
men all the leave allowed under law.
not only for the last fiscal year. but
also for the present year just starting.
AS there was no further provision for
their salaries, they have had to be
dropped. he said. As soon as they are
released from service with the organ
lied militia their jobs will be ready for
them. This is provided by an act OF
Congress, Mr.. Frazier explained. In
the meantime their positions will be
filled temporarily from the eligibility
list, and at the expiration of their camp
service, when their positions are re-
stored to the regular clerks. those who
have been substituting will be put back
on their places on the waiting list
Several unsuccessful attempts were
made in Congress to amend the laws
to permit of the payment of salaries
during service on the border. Many
patriotic speeches were made praising
private corporations for their patri-
otism in continuing the pay of en-
ployes on military duty, but Congress
failed to remember the federal en-
ployes at the front.

Colby and Maine played to a tie
first championship game Of the season
at the Colby field Wednesday after
noon. The game was very interesting
one to watch, being featured by
cellent pieces of fielding. Cawley. the
Colby shortstop, was way off form, haV-
ing three errors and letting at least
couple of men steal second by his fail
ure to cover properly. Schuster, in left
field. contributed a fine eaten. and an
equally good throw home which cut
off run, and Deasey sent a couple of
runs home with a clean-cut home run.
Nye, the Fairfield boy. who played sec
ond for Colby, was the peer Of his ia
nous townsman, Captain Lawry, who
played second for Maine. and while he
did not have as many chances as the
Maine leader he handled what came his
way in good style barring one bad
throw to first which, however, did not
contribute in any way to Names
score. The game looked to be all Col
%y's during the first few innings but
bases on balls proved his undoing In
the seventh, three hits in row, Hack
EFT, Rowe and Pen6ieton all coming
across sent two runs over and in the
eighth the Maine boys tied up the
score by some good hitting and base
running. 1t was raining hard at that
time and Umpire Conway called the
game.

most Of the time being given over to the
report Of the commission on finance. The
commission recommended that a budget
system be instituted to cover each four
year period and that the several benev-
client boards be unified in an effort to pre-
vent unnecessary expenditure of money
and duplication of effort. Since the Min
neapolis conference in 1912 the church has
raised $15S.Oo0, oOO 50 per cent. of which
was expended for church building, pas
toral support and current expenditures.
Some little furry was caused by the in
PRODUCTION of a resolution expressing re-
greet because wines were reported to be
served at dinners at the White HOUSE.
The resolution would have the conference
appeal to President Wilson to abolish the
wine cup for all functions over which he
has control, and would request the Pres
ident to endorse and support pending
measures for nationwide prohibition. 1t
was introduced by Rev. James w. An
derson Of Oregon. Mo-, and was endorsed
by all the delegates from the Missouri
conference. This resolution was referred
without comment to the committee on
temperance, to which also was referred
another Missouri resolution to request the
great national political conventions to in
corporate a prohibition plank in the plat
form of their respective parties.

NARROW ESCAPE
OF LEWISTON man
IN ELEVATOR PIT

Norway, Me-, May 3.-In an accident
that just missed being tragedy, Tues
day afternoon, Chas. o. King, an en-
ploye Of the Carroll Peabody Jefferson
Shoe Co. here, suffered painful inju-
ries, including the partial crushing of
both legs. King, who has been here all
winter is from Lewiston.
Just what or who was responsible
for the accident is as yet undeter-
mined. King had been sweeping out
the elevator pit, and other employees
claim they thought he had finished
and gone away before the elevator
started again. King claims that he
locked the elevator, before he began
to sweep. but that other workmen
sWayed the elevator so much that the
catch of the lock slipped.
At any rate the elevator descended
upon him, and as the pit is only about
foot deep and the cross beam OF
the elevator floor is six or seven inches
thick, it seems pretty certain that
King would have lost his life had the
elevator struck him in any place other
than il did. He was taken immediate
to DR.. Hall Trufant's hospital on Main
street, and for some time was uncon-
scious.

The accusation is repeated that Capt

trip.
The indictment states that after the ar.

funds from John T. Ryan, an attorney
alleged to have been the agent of Noi

Ryan was suspicious and would not as

$500. This money was used by the agents
of Capt Won Papen to invade Canadian
territory, the government charges, for
the purpose of carrying out "a military
enterprise" The government alleges that
it's case is strengthened by the fact that
all the indicted men are on the rolls of
the imperial German army.
