Legions' Constitution

Major Cornelius W. Wickersham, of
New York City, was chosen president

ry, of Brooklyn; second vice president,
Major Bradley Goodyear, of Buffalo;
third president, Private Philip s.
Peshins, of Syracuse; secretary, Major
George Brokaw Compton, of New York;
treasurer, Major Wilbur T. Wright, of
The Bronx. New York.
Yesterday the post passed a resolu-
ton of confidence in Colonel Henry L.
Lindsey. chairman of the American
Legion, who has just resigned as head
OF the War Risk Insurance Bureau
under Secretary Glass
Major Brokaw Compton introduced q
resolution, which was unanimously ap-
proved, calling attention to the ma
tlonal constitution Of the American Le-
gion, which states that it "shall be
absolutely non-partisan, and shall not
be used for the dissemination of par
tisan principles or for the promotion
OF the candidacy of any person seeking
office or preferment."
After reciting the foregoing the fol-
lowing were adopted;
Resolved, That President Theodore
Roosevelt Post Of the American Ie
gion, of New York, deplores mislead-
ing statements in the public press, &C
credited to one of its members, and ap-
parently intended to convey the i'm
preston that poll or straw vote of
the delegates at the St Louis caucus
on candidates for the Presidential
nominations for 1920 was taken, and
also that the caucus had taken action
looking toward the modification of the
prohibition amendment to the Federal
Constitution.
Resolved, That the public be in
formed that no action was taken rela-
tive to the prohibition amendment by
the st. Louis caucus, and that it. is the
personal knowledge of the New York
State delegates that no poll on presi-
Dental candidates was taken at the
st. Louis caucus, and that the figures
given out were nothing more than a
personal guess with no reasonable
basis for an estimate"

Bill Offered in House
Official Says He Will Re-
scind Action if Service Is
Found To Be Faulty
Ne,0 YorE Tribune
Woshtn Oton Bureou

WASHINGTON. May 10 Upstate
New York filed an emphatic protess
with Postmaster General Burleson to-
day against his policy of economy in
the conduct of the rural free delivery
service, with its resultant delay in de-
livery of mail to farmers
Ten thousand written protests against
elimination Of rural free delivery routes
by lengthening surrounding routes, thus
reducing the number of carriers, were
presented to the Postmaster General
by the New York delegation, and 25,OOO
more were promised.
The delegation was made up Of rep
resentatives Of the National and New
York State oranges, the Dairymen's
league, officials of upstate chambers
Of commerce and half dozen news
paper publishers. 1t was ACCOMPANIED
to the Postmaster Generals office bv
Senators Wadsworth and Calder and
all the members of the House of Rep
resentatives from upstate New York.
Representative Norman j. Gould, of
Seneca, refusing to believe that the
condition would be remedied by the
Postmaster General, introduced a Joint
New-York tribune., 1919-05-20

Socialist member-elect had been con-
victed of felony in the District Court
of the United States for the Northern
District of Illinois, for violations of
the espionage act.
Congress must keep itself Clean"
Mr.. Dallinger said. "The membership
of the House must be beyond reproach.
Within the House of Representatives
alone rests the right to determine the
tltness of member or member elect
If one has been found guilty of dis
loyalty to our country, especially at
a time Of grave national danger, |
don't see how we could remain in our
places and at the same time let such
man share with US the making of
legislation for our country.
House Must First Decide
at isn't for me to decide whether or
not Berger is unfit to be sworn in or
to be member of the Sixty-sixth
Congress, but as member of Congress
| consider it my duty to introduce in
the House resolution asking that a
special committee be appointed to pass
upon his rights to membership, and to
insist that until that committee has
made an impartial investigation of the
facts and reported, and until the
House itself has acted upon the re-
port, Berger be prohibited from the
rights of memb bership."
Berger remained in his seat, talking
to Representative Moore, of Pennsyl-
vanla, and Representative Longworth,
of Ohio, after the House had acted.
He was not compelled to leave the
floor, since the House adjourned few
minutes later. However. he will be
prevented from taking his seat to-
morrow if he attempts to do so.
Speaker Gillett selected Elections
Committee No. /, Of which Representa-
tive Dallinger is chairman, to make
the investigation. The House approved
the Republican selections for member
ship on this committee this afternoon.
The Democratic members have not vet
been chosen. The Republican members
OF the committee, in addition to Dal-
linger, are Representatives Rose. Of
Pennsylvania, and Rodenberg, of
both old members, and Rep
resentatives Cole, of Ohio; Randall, of
Wisconsin, and Luhring, of Indiana,
new members of the House.
Berger said tonight that he would
make vigorous fight for his seat be-
fore the special committee. and failing
to secure favorable verdict from the
House probably would enter the spe-
cial election chat would be necessary
in the Fifth Wisconsin District to fill
the vacancy.
There was no mistaking the temper
Of the House while the Berger case
was under consideration.
We have had enough Of Bolshev-
ism, enough of disorder and enough of
disloyalty." Representative Dallnge1
said tonight.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-20

resolution in the House this afternoon
10 compel the Postoffice Department
10 cancel revlsions in the rural free
dellvery service, which went into effect
May and restore the service as it
existed before that date. The resolu-
tlon also would compel the Postmaste r
General to withhold orders further re-
vlslng the service which are being pre-
pared for June /.
Through the latest action Of the
Postofflce Department thousands of
farmers in New York state have been
deprived of service" Mr. Gould said,
1T may require drastic action by Con-
gress to convince Mr.. Burleson that the
rights of the farmers of New York
should not be taken away from them.
The Postmaster General is unlikely to
act on his own initiative in restoring
the service He must be coerced bv
public opinion and by Congress-"
The conference at the Postmaster
Generals office began in friendly
spirit, but led to some heated discus
sion before Mr. Burleson admitted that
he had little detailed information on
the rural free delivery service and re-
ferred the New York delegation to the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General.
If any one could show him that the
farmer was being deprived of postal
service, the Postmaster General said.
he would see that it was restored.
5. j. Lowell, secretary of the New
York State Grange, the spokesman of
the delegation, took up the challenge
by calling attention to a trunk which
ne said contained protests from 10000
farmers who asserted that they had
been deprived of service and incon-
venienced by the policy of the depart
ment. The Postmaster General was
surprised. He would take the whole
question up, he said, with the fourth
assistant Postmaster General. Mr.
Blaksley.

Gov. Allen Renews
Fight With Baker;
Cites Army Orders
Copies of Official Reports,
Revealing Alleged Inefi-
cheney in Argonne Battle,
Sent to Wa shington

TOPEKA, Kan, May 19.-Governor
Allen last night made public a telegram
ne had sent to Secretary of War Baker
relative to the controversy between the
Kansas Executive and the War Depart
ment concerning the alleged misman-
agement of the Argonne battle. Refer
ring to his statement criticising lack
of transportation and airplanes in the
battle and charging that msmanage-
ment was responsible in part for the
great number of casualties in the 35th
Kansas and Missouri Division, Governor
Allen says:
yourself and General March saw fit
to deny the accuracy of these state
ments. | have just forwarded to the
Military Affairs committee of the Sen
ate copy of the official report of the
chief of staff Of the 1st army to the
commanding general of the 35th, Octo-
Der 26, 1918, and it is the result of the
inspection made soon after the division
came out Of the battle. This report
contains seventeen conclusions and is
revealing recital of all the made
quacies and inefficiencies to which at
tention was called at the beginning of
this controversy. 1t points out fully
the heavy handicap under which the
division fought as the result of the
sudden change in brigade and regi-
mental commanders upon the eve of the
battle. The experience of this division
IN this respect is said to be typical of
what other divisions suffered.
THE report relates the startling dis
organization which resulted from the
heavy casualties among the officers, and
condemns the failure to have proper

communication forward 1t mentions
particularly the failure of the artillery
commander, Brigadier General L. G.
Berry, to cooperate with and make full
use of the air service until ordered to
do So
"With stern frankness the report
states that the division staff was not
efficient or we'll organized, and specifi-
cally says that the intermingling, con-
fusion and struggling showed lack of
leadership and probably poor prepara-
ton"

Deficit for Chino Copper
Company's Production Cut
Heavily in First Quarter

On a gross production of 11.5121s3
pounds Of copper the Chino Copper
company reports a net operating loss
for the quarter ended March 81. 1919.
OF $l7S,441. This compares with a net
income OF $1,124,254 for the corre-
spending period Of last year. Stock
holders received $852,5S4 in dividend
disbursements, against $1,3O4 1870
shared in March quarter of 1918. After
all expenses, etc, deficit was $S25.926.
compared with profits Of se6,8O1. or 7
cents share, earned in December Quar-
ter of the year before.
In the report to stockholders it was
pointed out that the curtsilment of
operations was necessary at the begin
ming Of the quarter owing to the large
accumulation Of unsold copper stocks
and lack Of orders. It Is expected
that that production can be continued
at the present rate of about so Der
cent capacity until demand reappears
for metal at prices that will afford a
reasonable margin of profit. This will
depend, however, upon the extent of
further accumulations Of unsold copper
and the carrying capacity of available
resources.
The cost per pound of net copper
produced from milling operations,
after allowing for smelter reductions
and including depreciation, was 1903
cents, compared with 1889 cents for
the preceding quarter Earnings are
based on carrying price for copper
Of 1904 cents pound.

The Markets
The Railway Advance

Tho small setback of THURSDAY
seemed to be regarded as a sufficient
basis to begin the advance again, if
yesterdays market was any indica-
tion. The rise was greatest in the
railroad shares. Even more remark
able was the unusual activity in those
issues st. Paul was among the most
prominent, advancing 17s points; the
preferred advanced 2A. Advances in
Louisville & Nashville, $500" line,
Norfolk & Western, Southern Railway
and Southern Pacific ranged from 1
to points and more. The advance
probably reflected belated apprecia-
ton of the thorough liquidated posi-
tion of railroad stocks, and the fact
that for the first time since 1915 they
have failed to participate in move
ment of industrial shares. The
cleavage, which on February was 10
points in favor Of the industrial
issues. has since become 25 points in
their favor, the greatest difference in
favor of the industrial stocks on
record. The railroad issues were
helped by the news that Paul M. War
burg was engaged in drafting the Rail-
road Administrators proposal for a
return Of the roads to their owners.

War Debt Payment
Proposal Stirs Brazil
Allies Would Transfer South
American Securities to
u. S. Is Report

Deputy Mauricio Lacerda, according
to Associated Press advices from Rio
Janeiro, has requested the Brazilian
Chamber of Deputies to demand urgent
information from the government as to
whether it has official knowledge of
the intention of Great Britain and
France to transfer to the United State q
brazilian securities in payment of war
debts.
In the course of an attack upon the
United States recently, Madeiros de AL
buquerque, one Of the most prominent
journalists of Brazil, quoted by the
newspaper "a Noite," said that the
United States was desirous of obtain
ing as part of the payment of the
debt of France and England bond for
Brazil,s debts to those powers.
Washington dispatches said that pro-
posals had been made in Paris by the
British and French governments that
the United States accept as part paw
ment for loans advanced them notes
and bonds of some of the South Ameri
can republics, including Brazil, which
they hold. This plan had been an
