About $50 Rumanians assembled at

Koons Says Mail
System Here Is
Nearing Collapse
First Assistant Postmaster
General Declares Burden
Is Too Heavy; Urges New
Buildings and Tunnels

]. G. Rooms, First Assistant Postmas-
ter General, told the National Pub
llshers' Association, at their first an
nual meeting in the Waldorf. Astoria
yesterday, that the postal service of
this city faces collapse within few
years unless immediate steps are taken
to remedy the situation.
He asserted that the three buildings
at the Pennsylvania station, the Grand
Central station and Park Row were
absolutely inadequate to handle the
mails that pass through them.
he said, "is tc construct a large post
Office building in the downtown, or
financial district; one in the rear of
what is known as the Pennsylvania
Terminal and one in the vicinity Of
the Grand Central. These three build
ings should then be connected by an
underground tunnel at least fifteen feet
wide and eight feet high, of sufficient
size to transport all the mail for years
to come. Cars automatically and cleo
trcally operated could be used.
"The advsability of constructing
such tunnel has been carefully
your city, also by government engi-
neers, and it is believed to be feasible,
practical and economical, and would
relieve the congestion of our mailing
platforms and place underground the
transportation of mails between these
points"
Mr. Koons gave his hearers some i'm
pressive figures regarding the postal
service, and said that there was more
mail matter transferred over the tri-
angle formed by the three buildings
named than in any other three places
in the world.
"The postal service of the United
States" he said "handles more than
third of the entire mail of the
world. The revenues amount to more
than $3.50, 100000 per annum. and are

increasing at rate never before
known. The revenues gained more than
26 per cent during the March quar-
ter"
William c. Redfeld, former Secre-
tary Of Commerce, spoke on the neces-
sity of national economy.
The National Publishers Association
is made up of magazine and trade
paper publishers, who formed their
organization year ago at the time Of
the printers strike. The officers cleo
ted at the annual meeting yesterday
were:
Fl. W. Sweetland, United Publishers

ident; Roger A. Allen, Allen Nugent

Months to Three Years When
Police Record Is Rared

Convicted of having stolen pocket
book containing SIS from n fur shop
on Fifth Avenue, Mrs. Margaret Reilly
twenty-eight years old, the mother of
four children, was sentenced yesterday
to serve not less than six months nor
more than three years in the peniten-
tiary. The woman was convicted on
April 7 last and at that time was sent
to the House Of the Good Shepherd be-
cause of her physical condition. She
was brought before Justices Freschi,
Edwards and Mc1nerney, In the Court
Of Special Sessions, for sentence. When
the sentence was pronounced she col
lapsed and had to be carried from the
court.
Probation officers told the court that
the woman in the last ten years had
been arrested many times on similar
charges in this city, Chicago, Boston,
Philadelphia and Washington, and that
she was at present under $4,000 bail on
a charge in Boston. William j. Fallon,
of 149 Broadway, counsel for the
woman, said that she had a mental all
ment, and that her husband, who lives
at Rockville Center, L. l., was willing
to buy q farm for her and spend, if
necessary, MS last cent to cure her.
A letter from the warden of Auburn
prison, where the woman had been, was
read. This said the physicians there
believed her to be of normal mentality.

The very name Of the great new circus

word from Ringling Brothers, who are

to the effect that those who attend the
performances will witness the greatest
program ever presented in America.
This is likewise true of the mammoth

have made complete survey Of both

dreds upon hundreds of performers will
appear in the gigantic main-tent.
There will be scores upon scores of the
cleverest dumb actors A gorgeously
costumed pageant of stupendous size
will open the program. Great COM

oest loved stories Of fable and nursery
ore will appear There will be splen-
lid and many groups of beautiful horses

Men Al Voters Schools

Not only women, but men as well,
are attending the many schools for
political instruction which are being
established throughout the country for
the special benefit OF women voters.
some OF these men on being questioned
as to why they go to the classes say
quite frankly that they are glad to get
the bedrock, elementary informative
offered.
The situation is far more promisip.r
than amusing. 1t shows that wom.u
are seeking information both at home
and abroad, and that men are fittino
themselves to give it, and that the
awakened interest Of the women has
aroused many thinking men to the fact
that their own concrete knowledge Of
the fundamentals OF citizenship ali
government Is vague and in need ot
bringing up.
with men and women both seekinq
better education in the duties of cili-
snip and the functions of those elected
20 once, the prospect is bright for Il
future wherein all voters will use the
ballot more intelligently, will practice
q better citizenship themselves and
demand for public office men of bigLrr
ability and integrity.

The Service Situation
By j. EPPs BROWN, President.

Telephone service should be ADEQUATE. eff.
1cient and dependable; sufficient in ouan.
ety, satisfactory in quality and furnished
without interruption.
Adequate service is dependent upon ade-
4uate facilities.
Efficient service is dependent upon a suf-
nclent number of trained EMPLOYEES to
maintain and operate the facilities.
Dependable service is dependent upon
both adequate facilities and trained forces,
The facilities are paid for with the money
invested in the business Trained forces
are paid with the money paid to the Com
pany by the public for the service furnished.
In no other way can these essential req
ulsltes of service be had The needed facii-
tiles are never paid for out of the earnings
OF the company, and the EMPLOYEES are
never paid out of the capital of the COM
pany.
subsequent statements will show what
the Company has done to meet it's obliga-
tion to furnish both facilities and forces,
Everyone knows that this Company's
service has been dependable. Throuphout
the war and in spite of strikes and the most
abnormal conditions ever known, our serv-
ice was furnished without interruption.
While the service now is not ADEQUATE to
meet the unprecedented demand, due to
causes which will be given later, the facts
show that the Company is now furnishing a
far greater quantity Of service than ever
before.
The following figures show the service
furnished within the State of Louisiana.
