TOKIO, June 10.—Baron Shidehara, former ambassador to WaShington, will be the forelgn minister in the cabinet being formed by Viscount Ta- kakira Kato, according to all the newspapers. The papers predict a slight delay in the completion of the new ministry owing to alleged dif- ferences between Kate and Korekiyo Takahashi, leader of the Kenseikal party, the largest numerically in the Lower House of the Diet, of which Takahashl is now & member, having resigned his title of viscount to en- able him to be a candidate for that chamber. It is understood that three posts have been filled, Baron Shidehara tak- ing the foreign ministry, Lieut. Gen. Issel remaining as minister of war, which post he held in the Kiyoura cabinet, and Admiral Hyo Takarabe resuming the navy portfolio, which he held in the cabinets of Admirals ato and Yamamoto, and also in the Infantry arm, up to December 31, 1922, when he was re- tired as a major on account of dis- ability in line of duty. During the world war he held the emergency rank of colonel of ordnance. THREE PLEAD GUILTY. Answer Charge of Conspiring to Counterfeit $1,000 Bills. Curt Jacobson of New York, James C.

LOCKS NOT 'YET IN PLACE Post Office Says All Will Be Well When They Are Installed. Opportunities for easy theft of first- class mall exist in several Washing- ton apartment houses where the new type of mail box is in process of in- stallation, a survey of the situation today showed. In at least two apartment houses all a thief would have to do would be to dip his hand down and draw out the mail. The whole thing would be just as easy as that, and this despite the fact that the new boxes are designed “to stop mall thefts in apartment houses,” according to a notice issued by the Post Office Department in Sep- tember last. At the Westfield apartment, a new structure at 31st and R streets, and at the ~apartment building numbered 1914 G street the whole front of the boxes designed to be locked by the city post office, are left open, while at the Coywood apartment, Ly street be- tween 12th and 13th street, boxes are similarly open, but the mail is left on a table in the rear of the hall Lockx at Office. Officials of the Washington city post office say that as soon as the manufacturers have complied with all the regulations in regard to this type of box, locks and keys for the “master door,” " which is supposed to shut over the entire “nest” of individual boxes, will be put in place. The locks are now in the possession of the office, but will not be put in until the regulations are complied with. Manufacturers of the ‘“nests” of boxes have, in several instances, failed to comply with the regulation, which reads: “The several receptacles identified by a number and s be easily read by the carrier when the master door is open, a list of the names of the persons rec: mail through such receptacles. Lack Name Holders. At the Westfield apartment and the apartment at 1914 G street, the sur- howed, the apartment holders have their name and apartment num- ber above each box, but none of the boxes is supplied with the required holder for the names of the persons living in each individual apartment. Residents complain that the “mas- ter door” is down all the time. and that the carrier delivers mail to the individual boxes by placing it in the wide-open' top of each individual box, which opening is now left wide open day and night. Blotters and other advertising matter are placed in the boxes in the same manner as used by the postman, and the residents de- clare that any one, at any time. might reach in and abstract their mail. The post office says that this Is a matter for the apartment house own- er to take up with the manufacturers of the boxes, and that at present it is placing the mail in the open boxes merely as a matter of accommodation, since the regulations have not been complied with. When the holders are placed in each box, the key and lock will be furnished, and then the whole “master door” can be locked, prevent- ing any one but the mail man from reaching in the top. When the big door is locked, each individual apart- ment resident has an individual key. which allows him to open a small door in the front of the “master door." At the Monmouth apartment. fa- mous in the annals of the District Rent Commission. a “nest” of boxes has been approved, and is now in op- eration. These boxes are of wood. and no more of such material will be approved, it is stated. Each individ- ual box opens by a combination known only to the resident of the individual apartment. No requirement has been, inforced at this apartment as to namg plates within each box, owing to the fact that this apartment-hotel has a lobby and desk, at which inquiries may be made by carriers as to who occupies each apartment, if necessary.
