WASHINGTON, June 2O.-Postal in
spectors today arrested a number OF
travelling agents OF the Western Union
Telegraph company, on trains between
Boston, New York Philadelphia, Bal
timore and Washington and seized suit
cases they were carrying, filled with
messages filed for transmission by
telegraph.
This practice, which is said to have
been in operation by the telegraph com
pany for some time, Is considered a
violation Of postal laws fofbidding per-
sons not connected with the postal
service from conducting a traffic In
communications over regular post
roads.
The facts discovered will be present.
ed to grand juries and officials OF the
telegraph company will be summoned
to explain the practice The penalty
for violation OF the postal law is a
fine of not more than $500 or six
months Imprisonment
Night Letters Principally.
Postal authorities for several weeks
have been investigating reports that
the telegraph company was sending
night letters and other messages by
train rather than BY wire and deliver
ing them the following day with all
the marks of telegraphic transmission
The practice was reported to have ex-
tended to even some day messages, in
tended for immediate transmission.
Owing to- the extreme rush of tele-
graph message business in recent
months, the company found II impossi-
BILE TO transmit all messages offered by

Only Used in East.
So far as is disclosed by the postal
authorities, the system was not used
extensively in other parts Of the coun-
try although investigation will be made
to determine its extent.
The number of agents taken TODAY
was not announced by the postoffice
department II was intmated, how
ever, that the men had been followed in
their trips from city to city for some
time and their schedules of delivery
had been carefully worked out.
As Quick As By Wire.
The routes and schedules had been
Systematized, it is said, so that often
the messages were delivered about as
quickly as If they had been sent by wire
particularly, considering the delay
caused by rapid increase in telegraphic
traffic due to the war
The raids on the train agents were
planned for this morning and all were
made simultaneously. Definite charges
have not been made against some of the
men, il was explained pending determi-

VOICES MUST BE PLEASANT
Hospital Nurses Undergo Course Of

Cultivate Refined Speech.

eff the success or failure Of physi-
clan Is, In some cases as least, deter
mined by his tongue, how much more
important is this matter Of speech to
the nurse, who must be constantly with
the patient, and whose every look and
gesture are watched-targets for criti-
cism, silent or open," writes DR.. Irving
w. Voorhees, IN the Nurse. ut Is said
that in some hospitals this question
of refined. pleasing speech has become
q part Of the nurses course Of train
ing, and that she is demerited for dis
regard Of the principles as set forth
by her teachers. Although have no
personal knowledge Of these hospitals.
1t is certainly a contamination devout-
ly to be wished that every one who
comes into the sick room should know
how to, speak softly and agreeably."
Doctor Voorhees, says European ma
lions realize the importance of the
nurses voice and insist upon 1t far
more than we do. And any woman
who plans to become a hospital nurse
and has not pleasing voice already
should start at once to cultivate one.
The sick are very sensitive to voices
the blind are especially affected by
harsh voices. so much so that some
wealthy blind men will not permit q
person whose voice is not pleasant to
come near them.
