BURLESON BILKED

In a few of the larger cities Of the
United States there is maintained
what is known as the pneumatic tube
service, by which first class mail is
sent in small packages by under
ground conduit from one part of the
city to another. New York. Chicago,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and ST. Louis
have such service. and it greatly ex-
pedites the handling of mail, not only
locally but in placing on board out
goinng trains. Postmaster-Genera
Burleson recommended that the serv-
ice be discontinued and that he be al
lowed an increased appropriation for
automobiles. When the House of Rep
resentatives renewed the a%ppropria-
ton, Burleson wanted the matter left
in his hands to make terms with the
tube company, which would mean that
he would make terms they could not
accept. The Senate not only stood
by the appropriation, but added a
clause directing the postmaster-gen-
eral to renew the contract for a year.
Congress could not have acted more
wisely. For a number of years the
head of the postofiee department has
been assuming more and more dicta-
torial power, doing some things that
Congress refused to give it power to
do and ignoring the clear intent of
legislative enactments. The Consti-
tuition made Congress the sole legis-
lative body and it is gratifying and
r%eassuring to observe that Congress
proposes to be recognized as such.
Failure in this respect would consti-
tute a%bdication of power and conse-
quent increase of bureaucracy with
all its attendant evils and dangers.

BULLS" OCCUR IN THE .BEST
REGULATED. LITERATURE

1t will be a comfort to schoolboys
with a reputation for "howlers" TO
find that popular novelists have been
guilty of blunders just as glazing,
particularly in their references to
music. A recent number of the Music
Student gives amusing instances of
some almost incredible mistakes. To
begin with Jane Austen: Marianne, in
Sense and Sensibility," to cover a
confidential conversation. plays a
very powerful concerto" on the pi-
ano. In "Trilby," Svengali and Gecko
play a wonderful double improvisa-
ton" in which they "fugued and can
oned and counterpointed" extempore!
Then n of Ouida's heroes, who are
apt to be amazing. let's his "Strad"
fall, with the result that its keys are
smashed! And finally, Marion Craw-
in "A Roman Singer" makes a
yiolinist play the chord of A minor
and, while sustaining it, produce "the
sound of a laughing voice high up
above. "-lChristian Science Monitor.

Ferry Crowd Exposed
to Smallpox Victim

New London, Jan. 11-Scores Of
people in this city and passengers on
the Groton ferry and Groton and
Westerly trolley line were exposed to
smallpox Tuesday evening when J..
Edward Mitchell, of Mystic, suffering
from we'll defined outbreak Of the
disease, rode to this city by trolley,
then went to the Lawrence hospital
by the same means of transportation
ands later to the Memorial hospital,
transferring to three lines before he
reached the institution and was placed
lin the contagious ward. Mitchell is
employed in a mill at Mystic. He had
been feeling poorly for several days
and Tuesday an eruption appeared. He
consulted physician who diagnosed
the case as smallpox and directed the
patient to report to the Stonington
health officer. Not finding the health
officer at home, he started for this
city by trolley, accompanied by his
wife. fs
q When the facts in the case became
known to Health Officer Chapman
here, he took immediate steps to pre-
vent a spread Of the disease by caus-
ing the vaccination of all of the per-
sons he received word had been ex-
posed. The trolley cars have been
ftmigated also the ferryboat and
similar precautions have been takenl

lance yesterday, vaccinated and are
detained in the hospital. All Of the

sengers while, he was making his ex-
cursion to the hospitals.
