Washington, Sept. 25-Denial that any effort had been made by the postoffice department to influence the civil service commission in the rating of eligible appointees for post masters of first, second and third class offices is made by Postmaster General Burleson in a letter to Speak CT Gillett. On the contrary, the de- partment. he asserted, has observed lat all times in letter and in spirit the presidential order for the certifi- cation of the candidate with the high est rating.
 To substantiate his statement, MT. Burleson included in his letter a tabulation showing "conslusively that the charges so frequently made that the postmaster general is violating the executive order is unfair, unjust and without foundation in fact"
 The letter was prompted by house adoption of resolution, calling for detailed information about the postmaster generals appointment, after the dispute between Mir. Burle- son and former members of the com mission

Senator New Attacks State ments on British Power
 of Vote.

Washington, Sept. 25.--In assert ing that the British empire could not :outvote the United States in the League of Nations under the coven- ant as now drawn, President Wilson, either through misunderstanding or Representation" is misleading the American people,., Senator New, republican of Indiana, declared .i,l an address today in the senate.
 Launching general attack on the league as lone sided" arrangement under which this country would be required to protect the territory of other nations without needing reclp- rocal service from them, Senator New criticized many details of the covenant and dwelt at length on the question of the relative vote of Great Britain and this country in the league assembly.
 Details are the essence of such an important matter as this, the senator declared, yet the president has called upon the senate to flor get the details" The president, he said, would substitute this iphrase for the slogan of safety first' What would happen on railroad, the senator asked, if it replaced it's safety first" signs with an injunc- tion to it's employees to forget the details.'

 Taking issue with the presidents assertion that Great Britains six votes in the assembly would be no more powerful than the one vote of this country because action of the assembly must be by unanimous vote, the Indiana senator declared MT. Wilson "overlooks the fact that in those disputes in which America is directly concerned, we have not vote at all." He also pointed to the provision in Article 15 under which any dispute referred to the assembly may be decided by a majority vote and to the assembly's power of ap proval by majority vote of the four elective members of the council.
 As to the right of withdrawal from the league, Senator New de- clared the United States would not be the sole judge of whether it had discharged it's international obliga- tion at any time it might wish to withdraw, but must submit the ques- tion to arbitration.
 In support of this assertion, he ccntended that under article 13 it is
