A|RMA|L REPORT
DUE NEXT WEEK
Proposals Designed to End
Alleged Evils in Contract
System Expected.

Definite recommendations to Con-
gress for legislative action to correct
evils alleged to exist in the contract
airmail system are expected in a re-
port to be made next week by the
House Committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads, following months of in
vestigation by members of the commit
tee and by Prof. John B. Crane of
Harvard University.
The report is expected to have con-
siderable weight in the conference on
the Treasury-Post Office appropriation
bill, which will determine the fate of
the airmail service The House ap-
propriated $19,000000 for the domestic
airmail service for the fiscal year, but
this sum was stricken out by the Sen
ate.
Report Expected Wednesday.
Though it was announced that Sc
ries of recommendations will be made,
details of the report or the recommen-
dationS will not be made known until
the document is formally submitted to
the House, probably Wednesday.
The report will Asver investigation
of the airmail SYSTEM which began dur
ing the first sessihA of the present
Congress, more tl1aa a year ago, and
which led to an exhaustive study made
by Prof Crane during the past Sum-
mer. The committee with the Crane
report before it, held several hearings
several weeks ago, during the course
OF which Postmaster General Walter F.
Brown and other postal officials and
members of the air transport industry
were questioned.
The Crane report contained seven
recommendations. some of which it is
understood will form a basis for part
OF the committees plan for reorganiza-
tion Of the airmail service.
Reduction Recommended.
DR.. Crane recommended a. reduc-
tion of $1,000,00o for the coming year
In the airrnail appropriations. He also
advised that certain of the extensions
Of service authorized by the Post Of
fice Department be Cancelled, that
greater limitations be placed on the
powers of the Postmaster General that
a field audit of the accounts of thel
a1rmail carriers be authorized as
basis for redetermination of rates o.
payment, that a cost-balancing prin-
ciple of rate-making be required and
that the maximum rate of pay under
the formula now in force be reduced
from $1.25 to rs cents.
The Senate resolution introduced by
Senator Black authorizing appoint
ment Of Special committee to inves-
tigate the airmail service may be acted
upon IN the Senate during the next
few days. This resolution would carry
the power of subpoena and would make
possible the first airmail investigation
IN which testimony can be compelled.

Commissioner Needham c. Turnage 70

Commissioner Needham c. Turnage for
Wampler's removal to Maryland.
Failing in a vigorous fight to pre-
vent issuance of the commissioners
order, Wampler late yesterday secured
a writ Of habeas corpus from Justice
Joseph w. Cox, effecting his release
under bond until the court could re-
view the removal case.
The habeas corpus proceedings were
instituted by William E. Leahy, chief
counsel for Wampler, as soon as Com
missioner Turnage announced his de-
cision to order the lawyers removal to
Baltimore. Wampler remained in the
commissioners Office until the writ was
served.
Leahy contested the removal on a
number of grounds. chief among which
was the contention the Maryland cour.
has no jurisdiction because Wampler's
income was earned in the District of
Columbia and his tax returns were
computed and filed here.
Wampler, testifying in his own de-
fense, declared he earned his money

in Washington and had his income tax
returns made out and mailed here.
Charles G. Page, assistant q. S. at
torney Of Baltimore, responded that
the District Supreme Court in the Sam
Beard income tax case ruled that the
Maryland court has jurisdiction over
Washington income tax return ntiga-
ton, because the Capital is within the
tax collection district of Maryland.
Leahy also objected to the removal
on the ground the indictment papers
were faulty; that Wampler's first name
was omitted from the document; that
it had not been shown that Wampler
had committed crime against the
Government. and that the income tax
law concerning tax evasions applies to
corporations rather than individuals
These and other objections were over
ruled by the commissioner.

thoroughly delightful.
Carl Mechers was a great painter-one of
the greatest that this country has produced.
In fact among painters of all nations for the
past 40 years he eminent outstanding
figure. Born August II, 1860. he began his
artistic career under the shadow of the old
academy. but despite the fact that throughout
his entire career he never departed from these
ideals, he always kept in step with the times
and was equally as welcome in one camp as
another. He was, in fact. the painter who
exhibited both with the academicians and the
modernists and, strangely enough, in neither
group did his works ever seem out of place.
From his confreres he received the highest
honors within their power to beStow.
Carl MelcherS was born in Detroit, the son
of Julius Theodore and Mary Bangertor Mel
chers. His father sculptor, at one time
a student under Carpeaux, but the son was
interested not in sculpture but in painting
and at the age of IT he sent abroad to
study-not to Paris, but to Dusseldorf, where
he worked for three years under Prof. Won
Gebhardt. Then he entered the Ecole des
Beaux Arts, Paris becoming a pupil of Bou-
LANCER and Jules Lefebvre. His first exhibit
in the Paris Salon was "The Letter." painted
in Brittany in 1881, entered in the Salon OF
1882, where it attracted much favorable at
tention, and now in iuded in the exhibition at
the Corcoran Gallery of Art lent by Mrs. E.
C. Walker of this city. The next year he ex-
hibited two more works and in 1886 ho re-
ceived honorable mention at the salon. In
1887 he shared first place at the Amsterdam
International Art Exhibition with Segantini.
the Swiss painter of mountains and pastoral
life. In 1889 he took one of the two grand
prizes allotted to American painting at the great
Paris Exposition, Sargent receiving the other.
In 1895 he was made chevaler of the Legion

-. s.uaio ..aat he inscribed the motto:
"Waar en- Klaar.' meaning True and Clear"
motto which may well be applied TO all of his
work. and it was there that many of his most
famous paintings were produced. In fact. it
was his Dutch subjects that first brought Mr..
Melchers into prominence and it is by these,
in all probability that he will be longest re-
membered. But at heart. undoubtedly. he was
an American, and a nationalistic spirit pervades
all of his work.
In 1903 Mr.. Melchers married Corinne Mac
kali of Savannah. The first IL years of their
married life they spent for the most part,
abroad, but in 1914 they returned to the United
States permanently, thereafter to divide their
time between a charming country home near
Fredericksburg, Va, overlooking the Kappa
hammock River and studio-residence in New
York
For some years prior to his death Mr.. Mel
chers was trustee Of the Corcoran Gallery
of Art and chairman of the Art Committee
of the National Gallery of Art Thus he was.
especially in his latter years, identified with
Washington and it Is most suitable that the
first memorial exhibition of his works should
be held here
Mr.. Melchers painted steadily and his out
put was exceptionally large. What is more,
the average of his output has been exceedingly
high. He has not half dozen masterpieces
to his credit but many times this number. He
is represented in the leading galleries abroad,
notably by two paintings in the Luxembourg
in Paris as we'll as in practically every large
museum in this country. And yet the present
exhibition includes less than 63 canvases.
