1T is A 35-DAY JOB
All United States Mail Is Now Being
Carefully Weighed.

General weighing by the government
of United States mail carried on the
railroads began March 2 and will con-
tinue for thirty-five days, local rail-
road men announce. The object is to
determine actually what pay the roads
will earn under the old system of pay
ment and the new one now being tried
out involving a space basis.
Both the weight of the mail and the
space it occupies on each train will be
carefully tabulated. Then the remun-
Grafton due the road on either system
of pay will be determined and sub
mitted to the interstate commerce
commission, which is definitely to de-
eide with these facts as a foundation
what fair basis would be. Z
Under the act of congress approved
July %, 1916, the interstate commerce
commission was directed to determine
and fix reasonable rates and COM
pensation for the transportation of the
United States mail on common carriers
and the service in connection there
with. For years the railways have
commended that the pay for carrying
the mails was inadequate, and, after
many hearings and exhaustive investi-
cation both by congress and special
commissions, the whole question of
mail transportation routes was turned
over to the interstate commerce COM
mission. This. railroad officials say,
is as it should be, for that commission
regulates freight, passenger and ex-
press rates. and is fully qualified and
equipped to pass on fair and reason
able mail transportation rates.

BIG PRIZES TO U-BOATS
Sailors Offered Large Bonus to Inten-
sify Their Bravery.

Amsterdam, April 9.-The frontier
correspondent of the TELEGRAPH sug-
gests that the recklessness shown by
German submarines is due to the big
financial rewards offered the crews
by the German government. The men
who man the submarines get ten per
cent higher pay than those of any
other branch of the national service
and receive in addition a substantial
bonus.
Fifty per cent of the value of a
captured ship is distributed among
her captors five per cent to the COM
mander of the submarine, five to the
chief engineer, Is to the remaining
officers and 25 to the crew. Percent
ages for torpedoed ships are based
on the insurance value of the vessel.
In these cases the submarine COM
mander gets one per cent, chief engi-
neer one, remaining officers four and
the crew ten.

San Francisco. April 9.-The British
steamer Sequoya, Captain Phillips of

The Sequoya put on full speed The
submarine came to the surface and
followed, sending showers of shrapnei

sign of disabling the steering gear. Part

Brooklyn did a clever imitation of the
summit of Pixies Peak today by re-
naming well hidden under an inch or
SO of snow-one of the best argu-
ments for later opening.
The opening day is just three days
in the offing. Every club in the two
circuits is scheduled to open on We'd

uled for greater New York. But it's
no cinch that those games will be
played. Things will have to change
or that opening will be laid over a
