w TWOPAPERS REGAIN| MAILING PRIVILEGE Postmaster General Hays i Lifts Ban on N. Y. Call I and Milwaukee Leader. Second-class mafling privileges have been restored to the Milwaukee Lead- er and the New York Call, socialist newspapers, by order of Postmaster General Hays, in line with the action initiated by him last week in the case of another publication, the Lib- erator. No formal order was issued by Mr. Hays, the department’s action being carried out by an informal notifica- tion to the newspapers interested and instructions to the postmasters in the respective cities of publication. Postmaster General Hays is under- Stood to have proceeded on the theory that the previous administration of Dry Agents Uncover $50,000 in Old Wine IOWA CIRCLE CITIZENS’ ASSOCIATION FORMED New Organization Drafts Consti- tution and Elects Officers.

Whether the Post Office Department ‘will voluntarily refund the excess charges occasioned by the Burleson order was not stated today. In the case of the Liberator, Mr. Hays said a refund would be ordered, the amount due that publication being estimated at more than $11,000. Orders cauceling the second-class mailing privileges of the publications were issued by Postmaster General Burlegon late in 1917. after an in- quiry which Mr. Burleson said had shawn that through articles pub- lshed each of them had violated provisions of the espionage act. The Liberator—a successor to the Masses ——ceased publication soon afterward, the publishers announcing they were unable to bear the additioffal burden imposed by the third-class rates. Both the Leader and the Call carried their fight to the.courts. The Mil- waukee paper, upon refusal of the Sapreme Court of the District of Co= lumbia to issue a writ of mandamus to compel the Postmaster General to r store the canceled privileges, a pealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, where the lower court was upheld. The Call won in the lower courts of the District of C lumbia, whereupon the Post Office Dy partment appealed, and the case w: adjudged to have been decided by ‘Wat involving the Leader. SMALL BLAZE DEVELOPS ON GEORGE WASHINGTON Ship Official at Hoboken Dry Dock Sees Suspicious Features in Damage to Two Ships. HOBOKEN, N. J., June 1.—A small fire of unknown origin last night slightly aamaged the steamship George Washinston, which twice car- ried former President Wilson to France and back. The steamer is in drydock here undergoing repairs. The blaze, which broke out on the hurricane deck, was extinguished less than an hour after its discovery. Drydock- officials sald the damage could be repaired within two days. Drydock officials said that the fire probably was due to defective wir- ing. but an official of the United - States Mail Steamship _Company, which operates the boat, declared it was of suspicious origin. He pointed out that the Panhandle \State, an- other ship operated by the same line, was damaged by a fire of unknown origin about ten days ago. — % Blue Serge Pin Stripes famous makes —s uperior “Pledged to Quality” Fourteenth St. at New York Ave. Store Hours: 8:30 AM. to 6 P.M.
