RECALLS MAYOR
 OF NEW Y0RK'S CHINATOWN
(By International News Seryice)

 NEW YORK, June 23.-Chinatown's mayor is out of job. Charley Boston, for six years unofficial burgomaster of the strange polygon bounded by Doyers and Pell streets and Park Row, has been recalled. And all on account of the liberation of China.
 When China recently underwent a new birth of freedom the local Chin- ese decided, in their patriotic fer vor to forget Lichee nuts and chicken chow mein, and to hold state ban 1uet. With the great seal of Charley Boston's approval on the project the Liberty restaurant, chop suey joint 1e luxe, was engaged for the function md five slick young Celestials, home sick for Canton and Tsien Tsin, col tected the modest sum of $50 per plate from 200 compatriots eager for feast of sheeps eyes and birds nest soup. Whereupon they decamped to China with the proceeds and the banquet didn't come off.
 And when his irate "constituents" demanded an explanation the mayor" could make no answer but search me-" or it's Chinese equivalent
 Indignation waxed high, meetings were held and Charley Boston re- turned to private life. So low is his estate that he didn't even go on the On Leong Tong's annual excursion to Bear mountain. He couldn't be in closer retirement if he had been men, toned in a divorce case
 Ten years ago such an occurrence would have started bloody tong war Today nothing but loud words comes of it, and the barter of Chinese mer- chandise goes on unabated while tour ists from the hither side of the Ale ghansies continue to fatten the purses of the curio dealers.

HUGE DEFICIT
 IN POST0FFlCE DEPARTMENT
Especial Correspondence)

WASHlNGION, June Z3.-WllDur J. Carr, director of the consular bureau, told the joint committee on reclassifi- cation recently that the government is losing money every year by not hay ing capable men to do its work. He said the turnover at the state depart ment annually was very great, em- ployes receiving $500 and $500 leav- ing the service constantly for posi- tions paying 5000 or more. This trou- ble has been even more exasperating
 in the case of consuls, who start in at low rates of pay-$2OOO to $25O0 put in three or four years for the government, find that they are receiv- ing less than it costs them to live at foreign posts, that there is no future in the way of adequate promotion or ultimate retired pay, and having re- ceived excellent training at the hands of the government, they resign to ac- cept private employment at from three to five times their consular salaries. Just think of it, for example: The U. S. consul at Bahia, Brazil, gave clearance to $16OO0,OOO worth of ex- ports to this country last year, yet his salary is but $350O-and that was but a phase of his duties.
 hn haC o,,1 n the senate bill permitting the con- solidation of competing interstate tele- phone systems. The interstate com merce commission is charged with the administration of the measure, and will pass upon all applications for consultations.
 One of the items in the recent deficiency appropriation bill passed by congress called for over $S1,O0O,- 900 to pay unpaid bills of the post office department bequeathed by former Postmaster General Burleson to his successor, MT. Hays. Con- gressman Halvor Steenerson of Min nesota, chairman of the house post office committee, has prepared a tabulation of post office deficiencies during the incumbency of MT. Burle son. It shows that $65, 100000 should be charged to the years 1918 to 1920, inclusive, but that the balance of the $81 100000 total should be allotted to each of the years from 1913 that Mr. Burleson was in power. The tabula- tion is complete refutation of the boasts so frequently indulged in by the former official that he> was the first postmaster general for 30 years to show credit balance at the end of the fiscal year. AS a matter of fact he had a deficiency every year.
 The senate has increased the total of the naval appropriation bill as 1t came from the house by $98,OO0, 900. Carrying $494,000,000 it passed the upper body by vote of 54 to IT. Be- fore final passage an amendment was added at the suggestion of Senator Robert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin to the effect that no army or navy officer shall have any financial rela. tions with manufacturers of ordnance or other munitions. It is a notorious fact that many of the closest advis. CTS of the former administration were also high officials of firms selling millions of dollars worth of supplies to the government. At least two of those men were recommended for court martial by MT. Hughes, now secretary of state, but they were whitewashed by the former score. tary of war

CHAPTER III.
A Fight That Won Friends.

Sofa stared into the brute's wicked
looking eyes, muttered a word or two
of command, pointed to me, and left
the chamber. The beast, after survey
ing me intently for moment, crossed
the room to the only exit which led to
the street and lay down full length
across the threshold.
This was my first experience with a
Marian watch dog. but it was destined

guarded me carefully during the time
remained captive among these
green men, twice saving my life, and
never voluntarily being away from me
a moment.
Sofa returned bearing both food and
drink. These she placed on the floor
beside me, and seating herself short
ways off regarded me intently. The
food consisted of about a pound of

he had swallowed poison by mistake,
rose from the chair In which he had

dream been, he went to the shop and
took an antidote. But this, in the
absence Of real poison, began to pol

mistake the error was beyond repair.

the latter was confined to bed for sew
