New York, Oct. 15.-lF1-Trial of the three sons of Charles w. Morse and 14 other defendants on charges of conspiring to sell stock fraudu- lently, continued in federal court today with Thomas A. Sherman, former secretary of the United States Steamship company again on the witness stand.
 Minutes of an alleged meeting of the United States Steamship com pany in 1916, revealing a contract whereby $12,5OO,000 was turned over to N. L. Gilbert, a clerk in the company, have been admitted as evidence for the government, but they will not be read until after the defense has conducted it's cross- examination of sherman.
 Sherman had identified a copy of the minutes yesterday, and they were admitted over the opposition of the defense. Of the $12,5OO,O00 the government contends, s10,000,000 represented stock Tn various SUD- sidiary companies of the steamship company and $2,500,00O was In cash.
 Questioned about the affairs of the New York, Norfolk & Wash ton Steamship company, which the government contends was absorbed by the Morse interests, Sherman said that steamship company had no assets when he was president of it.
 As the alleged transaction where by this company was, according to the government contention, absorb ed by the Morse interests, sherman said he knew that the books of the New York, Norfolk & Washington Steamship company at one time had been in the offices of the United Steamship company. ..

Washington, Oct. Is GPl-The gov ernment intends to relinquish oper- ation Of the transcontinental air mall service, and within thirty days invitations will be issued by the postmaster-general calling for bids for its operation by private enter prise.

 The department has on hand about S5 airplanes, IS hangars To- cated at flying fields all over the country, and shop equipment worth several million dollars,
 The postmaster-general reiterated today that no company could sue cessfully operate commercial air service on a mail contract alone but must also be prepared to transport passengers and express. This con- dition, he said, would be all the more applicable to the contractor who took over the line now being operated by the post office depart ment.
 Mir. New is laying plans for changes in air mail postage rates that will render them more uniform and provide a flat rate applicable throughout the country regardless of distance.
 In addition to the transfer of the continental line to private contrac- tors the overnight New York-Chica- go service also will be let by con- tract to private operation. The bids for the two services will be return able sixty days after the date of the advertisement.
 It has never been the intention of the post office department to con- tinue permanently the operation Of the air mail service, the postmaster general said. the plan being to de- velop it to a point where it's feasi- bility could be demonstrated and then turn 1t over as commercial fly ing companies became strong enough to handle It.
