letter MAIL MONDAY
HEAVIEST IN HISTORY

Letter mail at the Richmond post
office Monday morning was said to be
the largest ever handled in the his
tory of the local postal building, ac-
cording to local officials. City mail
carriers were unable to start on their
routes before 1890 and II a. m. With
the exception of the business district,
it seemed probable that only one trip
would be made by the carriers.
Christmas mail at the local office
has been up to standard, it was stated
by Mr.. Foreman. superintendent of
mails. Last week the customary rush
started at the beginning of the week
and continued up to Friday night. The
postmaster's office and superintend-
ent of mails office were converted into
parcel post rooms. Extra carriers
were put on as aids to the regulars.
and a corps of clerks helped handle
the mail. The preparations before the
big Christmas rush re said to have
enabled postal officials over the coun-
try to handle the mails this year with
much better service than ever before.

MONK EASTMAN DEATH
STARTS POLICE PROBE

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Belief that
Monk" Eastman, who for two de-
cades led one of the lower East tides
most notorious gangs of thugs, was
slain yesterday as the result of
gang feud". today set detectives on
the trail of a score of characters
known to have been his associates at
various times. Eastman, who won dis
tinction in the war under his real
name, William Delaney, and was re-
stored to citizenship by Governor
Smith on his promise to ''go straight"
was found dead at the corner of
Fourth avenue and Fourteenth street
within a block of his old underworld
haunts, his body pierced by five bull
lets. Leaders of the score of detec-
tives assigned to the case, said they
had learned of recent threat of East
man to kill one of his companions
after a quarrel. Relations between
the two men had become more and
more strained, they said, and each
had enlisted the support of friends for
defense. ]. A. Ayres, printer who
told reporters last night that he was
one of several eye witnesses to the
murder, was expected to tell his story
to the detectives today. He said he
and the others rushed out of a res
taurant, on hearing a shot fired, and
saw four other shots directed at the
PROSTATE body. He saw, he said, a
man stand over the body a moment
and then run for a slowly moving taxi
cab, which sped away.

EMERGENCY TARIFF
BILL CAUSES FIGHT
OF FLOOR OF SENATE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 Republi-
can and Democratic leaders in the sem
ate lashed today over the house emer-
gency tariff bill
Characterizing the measure as an
embargo bill and shocking PROPOSE
tion" to restrict American commerce,
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, acting
Democratic leader, proposed that the
bill instead of being referred as a
tariff measure to the finance commit
tee, be sent to the commerce COM
mittee. He charged that the Republi-
cans proposed to rush through" the
measure practically without consider
alton.
Acting Chairman McCumber of the
Finance committee. Senator Smoot of
Idaho, and other Republican leaders
denied that the legislation contemplate
ed embargoes. Senator McCumber
promised flair and adequate consider
alton" of the bill next month and
stated that in its present form he
would not support it under any con-
sideration.'
Senator Hitchcock said the bills
policy was Suicidal"
Passes House.
The emergency tariff bill passed
in the house last week but blocked
in the senate through Democratic op-
position, constituted the principal bus
mess before the latter body today. Re-
publican proponents of the measure
have rallied their forces for vote to
send the bill to the finance committees
where they planned to hasten action
and bring the fight to the senate floor
by foregoing formal HEARINGS
Democratic opponents of the bill
have announced they will resort to fhe
use of every parliamentary tactic h at
their command to delay consideration,
but Senator Harrison of Mississippi,
their leader stated they do not hope
to prevent ultimate reference to COM
mittee. However, a long debate was
in prospects with indications that the
Democrats will be found in a much
more solid lineup than was the case
in the house.

JOHN BROWN FIGURES
IN FRENCH DEBATE
CBy Associated Press)

TOURS. France, Dec. 27-Marcel
Cachin, socialist deputy, who with NJ.
Frossard, secretary of the party, re-
turned from Russia completely con-
verted to Bolshevism took the floor
this morning in the French, socialist
congres to reply to Deputy Marcel
Sembat, whose severe criticism of the
Lenine communist program yesterday
made quite an impression on the dele
gates. NJ. Cachin compared the rev.
olutionary measure Moscow has inn
posed upon the French socialist to the
raid of John Brown, the American
aholitionist on Harper's Ferry, Va, in
1859.
Some great revolutions have been
brought about that way" he declared.
John Brown gave impetus to the
movement against slavery. He did the
same thing we want to do in France
to capitalism and to the bourgeosie."

Representative Clifton N. Macarthur
of Oregon has introduced in the house
constitutional amendments providing
that presidential and congressional
terms shall begin on the second Men
day in December after the general
election. Macarthur declares that the
present system of delaying the taking
of office until March hampers the
work of the new administration and
allows lame ducks" of political par
ties repudiated at the polls to hinder
the work of the government by con-
tinuance in office. His plan would
eliminate the present hang over"
session of congress after elections.

Heavy Coal Shipments
Block Eagle Pass Yards

EAGLE PASS, Tex, Dec. 27.-The
Southern Pacific railroad yards here
are congested with coal destined to
Mexico as a result of the recent strike
of coal miners in the state of Coahuila
Although the strike was settled three
weeks ago. mining cannot be resumed
at a normal production for another
month because of the flooded condi-
tion Of the mines, according to re-
ports here.
Aside from heavy coal shipments
business in other lines of trade with
Mexico is unusually heavy through
port, indicating Mexican officials de-
clare, that the southern republic is
rapidly returning to the pre-revolution
normalcy.

That the municipal light plant has
been badly operated and that the
board of works is confronted with con-
siderable expense to make up the &C
crued maintenance, and that large
part of the repairs and requirements
are the direct result of poor operating
methods, was pointed out in the re-
port from the j. d. Lyin, consulting
engineer, who submitted a written
report to a special meeting of the
board of works Monday morning.
'It would appear from such data as
we have been able to secure, that the
preventable waste in this plant is at
least 25 per cent" says the report.
Incompetent workmen and poor in
stallation of parts of the plant were
blamed for some conditions.
Some Of the things recommended
have already been done, such as the
employment of competent boiler
experienced power plant maintenance
man.
No Disguise Possible
There is no possible way of dis
guising the fact that the plant has
been badly operated, and that you
(the board of works. are now faced
with considerable expense for what
may be termed accrued maintenance.
and a considera BILE part of the repairs
and replacements required are the di-
rect result of poor operating meth
ods," the report states.
The conditions in the boilerroom
were pointed to as being particularly
deserving of immediate attention. The
securing of man who has real knowl-
edge of producing the maximum of
steam from the minimum of coal in
place of a man hired just to shovel
coal was recommended. 1t was stated
