The Governments new pony ex-
press stamp is galloping for a
philatelic fall when it reaches the
public April 3.
Pictures of the new issue will be
out this week and officials are pre-
dieting it will raise the biggest howl
since some one thought he saw a
cigarette dangling from the lips of
Susan B. Anthony in her stamp of
1896.
The hooves of no pony express,
say those who have won spurs in
these philatelic battles, could have
made more noise than the clatter
which will come from the experts
who will hot foot it into the Post
Office Department to protest.
What's wrong?
The stamp depicts a rider on a
horse which is bent on the task of
carrying the mail, its name stream
ing in the breeze and hooves aham-
mering.
But, say equestrians who have
peeped at the stamp. the rider is
being very casual about his reins-
he's letting them dangle as If his
mount were eating hay.
And then there's the saddle.

labor joined with the union in the
formation of the depository on Oc-

effect of interfering with free and

Judge Calls Boxer,
Slayer Of Consular
Aide, a Cheap Bum
Cunudion Convicted
As Killer Of Germon
In Brooklyn
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March IA Judge
whose voice broke with anger de-
nounced as "a dirty bum" a "a
year-old Canadian boxer who had
just been convicted of first-degree
manslaughter in the fatal bludgeon-
ing of DR.. Walter r. Engleberg, Ger
man consular attache.
The jury, which had heard coun-
sci for Ernest Kehler contend he
beat DR.. Engelberg to death De-
cember S after the latter made
immoral advances in his Brooklyn
home, reached its verdict last night
in six hours and IA minutes.
1t was midnight when the jurors
filed into a courtroom emptied of
spectators. Outside in the corridor
Kehler's bride, soon to be q mother,
wept with her mother, Mrs. o. A.
Let's of Ottawa, Canada.
Frowns in Defiance.
The boxer, who was arrested in
Toronto two weeks after the killing,
stood frowning in defiance as
County Judge Peter j. Brancato
congratulated the jury for its "ab-
solutely fair" verdict and then re-
marked heatedly:
But the defendant is a shrewd,
clever individual and showed it by
slipping In his defense of intoxica-
ton. He was no more drunk than
you or l."
Looking down at the 6-foot-2-
inch. powerfully built figure before
him. the judge continued:
What in thunder made this man
kill? Was it sex? I doubt it, He is
just cheap bum. Only two men in
the world knew what really hap
pened in that room. and one is dead.
This man is lucky he was not con-
victed of higher degree
Refuses to Tell Age.
Kehler, who may receive up to 20
years in prison, surlily refused to
tell the court clerk his age and
birthplace before he was returned
to his cell for sentencing later. He
said he had been a coal miner.
AS they led him away his wife.
Mrs. Barbara Muriel Kehler, leaned
against wall and sobbed:
Il have done everything they told
me to do. They promised me every
thing would be all right. If they
keep my Ernie in jail he will die
soon"
Defense Counsel Leo Healey indi-
Gated, after Judge Brancato refused
to permit him to reserve motion
to set aside the verdict. that no
new trial would be sought.

Politicians Watch
AnxiousIy for End
Of Business Decline
Signs for RevivoI Are
Studied for Effect
Upon Election
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Mindful of the vote turning effect
that business conditions have in an
election year, politicians are watch
ing anxiously for the end of the
post-Christmas decline.
The first flush of the war buying
is gone. Customers who feared slow
deliveries and price rises are taking
their time about buying New orders
in most industries are smaller than ,
those now being filled. In sons
cases they have dropped below con-
sumption requirements.
A few Of the pertinent signs caught
by Washington statisticians are:
Automobile Gales are in many cases
from 35 to so per cent larger than
at this time last year. Steel pro-<
duction, skidding to about IS per
cent of capacity, is falling under
actual requirements for use. Textiles
are dropping. But private building
is improving.
War Lifts Exports.
War has lifted the export business.
AS many or more goods were shipped
in December and January than at
any. time since 1890. Great Britain
and France were the chief buyers.
but the lessened competition spread
the pickup in American sales to all
corners of thc world. Great Britain
is trying to remedy that now. Air
craft, machinery, metals and metal
products, chemicals and raw cotton
accounted for most of the gains.
A billion dollars in new war or
ders seems likely to be placed by the
British and French purchasing COM
missions. Experts say this will give
fresh impetus not only to the rapidly
expanding airplane industries, but
also to parts and tool makers.
Aircraft Recovery Rapid.
The latest chart of net profits and
percentage of return on investment
by the chief industrial groups shows
that the aircraft and parts industry
staged the biggest recovery of any
other in 1899. Its average return on
investment in 1888 was l A per cent;
in 1889 it was 15.5 per cent.
Only three industries failed to
show pickup in earning percent
ages in 1899 over 1888. Distilling,
which paid 1853 per cent on invest
ments in 1888, eased off to 1877 re-
turn in 1889 Farm implements. re-
turning 68 in 1898. dropped to 50 in
1889 Fertilizer dropped from "a in
1888 to % in 1889.

told the department that the type
saddle on the stamp was not used
until so years after the last express
pony was pensioned.
There is something supposedly
wrong with the horse, too He isn't
lame and his teeth look sound, but
the experts declare his nose has
been ruined.
Instead of nostrils, they say, it
looks as if some one has shot hole
through the horses nose, because
you can see the daylight as plainly
as you can the stamp.
Experts are certain that by the
time the Pony Express stamp is a
day old the thousands who comb
each new issue with hypercritical
eyes will find some other things
wrong Why? They usually do
or think they do.

Archbishop Replies
To Critics Of Taylor
Mission 10 Vatican
New York Churchmon
Puts Peace Above
Separation Issue
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 12-Arch-
bishop Francis j. Spellman today
answered critics of the recent ap-
pointment Of Myron c. Taylor as
the Presidents personal representa-
tive to the Vatican, saying "the only
reason which the non n-approvalists
seem to have for their position is
the shibboleth of separation of
church and state"
50 1t is disconcerting to hear
criticism that implied preference
to have men continue to slay one
another rather than have peace
through the cooperation of Cath
olic and an Episcopalian, the head
of the Catholic Archdiocese of New
York said.
The archbishop spoke at impress
sive ceremonies in St. Patrick's Ca
thedral where he received the sa-
cred pallium, symbol of his author
ity, in connection with the first an
niversarv of the coronation of Pope
Plus XII. His Eminence Dennis
Cardinal Dougherty of Philadelphia
conferred the pallium, narrow
band worn around the neck and
shoulders on special occasions.
The holy father is not alone
the supreme head Of the Catholic
Church." he said. "He is also head
of a sovereign state. Thirtv-eight
countries have representative at the
Holy See.
Nobody protests because Presi-
dent Roosevelt has an Ambassador
to Great Britain. even though King
George vi is the head of the Church
of England.
Because we send an Ambassador
to the Emperor of Japan who claims
descent from the Son of Heaven"
he continued, sis there any one
thoughtless enough to suppose that
the appointment means a union of
the Japanese religion and the
United States Government?
"' While the 21,0OO, 1000 of
Catholics and millions of other men
of good will prayerful and grate-
fully approved this action of our
President still this approval
has not been as unanimous as might
reasonably have been expected"

0sias Denies FiIipinos
Are Cool 10 Freedom

Emphatic denial was voiced last
night by Camilo Osias, general coun-
cilor of the Philippines Mission to
the United States, that there is any
lessenlng of the demands of the
Filipinos for independence in 194s.
Speaking before the Lenten Forum
at Grace Church. Woodside, Md,
Mr.. Osias declared:
The grant of Philippine inde-
pendence has been the consistent
political policy of the United States.
The Filipino people, on the other
hand, have always vehemently de-
sired independence. In war and in
peace they have fought, labored and
sacrificed for it.
I'm recent cable to me. President
Quezon said: I will not ask the
administration or the Congress for
any modification of the Independ-
ence Act. On the contrary. l am
working for the complete realiza-
ton of the independence program
IN accordance with the provisions of
the independence law"
