The suggestion i3 contained in his annual report, Coolidge. During the year, he reports, there were 14 important mail robberies, in- volving a loss of $1,408,540, of which been recovered. There were 943 persons arrested and 611 con- victed of using the mails for fraudu- lent purposes. The Dead Letter Office, he reports, disposed of 24,056 undeliverable letters in the past year. In these let- tel money inclosures were found totaling §’ 26.86. The office handled 535,376 unclaimed parcels. Air Contracts Started. Nine contract air mail routes were put in operation during the vear. Also new rural routes were established, ing service to about 18,800 families. 3xtensions were made on more than 4,000 routes. The R. F. D employed arriers, and (.. of the ice was about $102,000,000. Mr. New reports that now more than half of all outgoing mails are wried in ships of American registry Nearly 70,000,000 pounds of outgoing mail was carried by sea at a cost of approximately $7,000,000. An average of 1,415 employes was kept on the departmental roles in Washington during the year. Mr. New shows that, despite the expansion of the service and the $70,- 000,000 raise in postal salaries, actual expenditures last yvear exceeded reve- nues by only $19, 79. Had it not_been for the salary in- creases, Mr. New said, operations for the year would have shown an actual surplus, and this despite the fact that new postal rates produced less than half enough to meet the salary raises. Deficit Is Reduced. Actually, with adjustments on ac- count of undischarged obligations for the fiscal vear 1925, civil service re- tirement fund requirements and 1926 outstanding, the Postmas al fixed expenditu ed liabilities at $697, an operating deficit of $d7 A with $49,453,090 a producing )6.118, compar | vear ago. Ir. New accompanied his report with a number of other recommenda- tions, including one which would ex- clude firearms from the malls, and nother which would have all post- masters classifled under the civil serv- ice and the four-year term of presi- | dential appointments abolished, Un- der Ule present law only fourth- class are _classifled. ~ Recom- so made for the ent rate on pri- rds and for the menc resto vate mailing or post c reduction of rates on publications mailed by the general public to 1 cent for ench two ounces, regardless of distanc It w noted in the report that t per capita expenditure of the Un: e tates for postage was $4.97, as,com- pared with $1.69 the previous year. Illustrating that the public is careless in using the mailing privilege, more 24,000,000 undeliverable letters found their way to the Dead Letter Office, and 0,256 in checks, money and money orders were contained in them. Plans have been laid for lighting the entire transcontinental air mail route, the report said, and when that is completed a schedule will be ar ranged to permit departure from both | fter the close of the business termini day, instead of in the morning, as at present. Operation of the route by ite enterprise is being sought. The slight increase in pound rates on the advertising sections of news- papers and magazines to certain zones had no deterrent effect in the ever- increasing volume of such matter, ac- cording to Mr. New.

LIQUOR CASE REVERSED District Court of Appeals’ Ruling Favors Man and Wife in Raid. Chiet Justice Martin of the District Court of Appeals yesterday reversed the action of Judge Isaac R. Hitt of Police Court, who had refused to re- turn a quantity of liquor taken in a i on house said to have been {oceupied by Adam Dickhaut and his wife, Anni Dickhaut. The &earch warrant used in the raid was quash- ed on complaint of Attorney Robert Lynch, vepresenting the accused, and charges of sale and possession of liquer in viol on of the Volstead act were dismissed, The Police Court, howeve ned to order the return of the whisky, claiming it to be con traband, and asserting that the de- ants had not borne the Burden of that the whisky was legally ased at and his wife testified the liquor was in their possession before the national prohibition act, and the ays the evidence sustain the burden ssion, “if such Court of Appeals was sufficient to L burden, rested upon defendants.” They are entitled to the return of the property, the court finds.

CALHOUN EXPLAINS FULLER ENTERTANMENT IDEA submitted to President | ’ Woman’s Universal Alliance Head Tells of Marie’s Visit to Spectacle. Rumania Legation May Have Statement About Queen’s | Part in Affair. . Clarence Crittenden Calhoun, president of the Woman's Universal Alliance, under whose auspices the benefit performance at the Metropoli- tan Opera House in New York City, was given in the presence of Queen | Marle of Rumania, today issued a| statement here and in New York ex- plaining the entertainment, which was subjected to severe criticism be- cause Miss Lole Fuller's ballet was to receive 50 per cent of the proceeds. At the same time |t was learned at the Rumanian legation here that Mrs. Calhoun’s version of the capacity in which Queen Marie attended and the circumstances under which she ac- cepted the ipvitation is not approved in official Rumanian circles. Marie Accepted Invitation. Mrs. Calhoun’s statement declared that Miss Fuller, the dancer and close ““nd of Queen Marie, had suggested .ng her ballet present the spec- tacle “The Lily of Life”” under Marle's patronage for the Mothers' Memorial. From official Rumanian sources, it was learned that Queen Marie did accept the invitation and wired Mr. Djuvara to that effect. Upon her arrival, however, Queen Marle, it was added, virtually countermanded her original acceptance and accepted a second invitation, signed Dby Mrs. | Oliver Harriman, which specified that the net proceeds should go to fthe child welfare work—riot the Mothers’ | Memorial—of the “Universal Alll- ance.” It was also specificially stated, it was learned today, that in accepting the invitation Queen Marie should be relieved of any responsibility for the manner in which the organization car- vied out its purposes, and that her act should not be interpreted as an assumption of general patronage of the undertaking. Briefly, it made certain that Queen Marie would be present only as a guest and nothing else. Mrs. Calhoun’s Statement. Mrs. Calhoun’s statement follows: “I wish the publit to know that the entertainment at the Metropolitan Opera House had been arranged weeks before we ever knew that the Queen coming to America. Meanwhile- Miss Loie Fuller had arrived in America_preceding {he visit of the queen. I had met Miss Fuller in Paris, where she had helped me to seeure a wonderful list of sponsors for our cause. It was he who proposed giving her beautiful spectacle, ‘The Lily of Life,’ under the queen’s patronage, for the Mothers’ Memorial. “Miss Fuller cabled to the Queen and the Queen cabled to our execu- tive committee, as well as to Mr. Djuvara of the Rumanian Legation, that she would give her patronage and presence to the entertainment, and she also requsted the support of Mr. Djuvara personally. “All was going smoothly and well | when it was discovered that Miss Ful- ler intended to give her entertain- ment under the auspices of other charitable organizations with the pat- ronage and presence of the Queen co- incident with her presence in other cities. This brought on a fire of op- position. Fight on Percentage. “A particular fight was launched on the percentage Miss Fuller was to re-| ceive from the entertainment, but our executive committee, finding that she had been at such heavy expense at bringing her troupe from Europe nd in their overhead and upkeep in New York, judged it to be only fair to allow her 50 per cent of the gross pro- coeds, while we were only to bear the expense of the opera house, the music and the publicity.

She was in hearty sympathy with the movement and worked unremittingly for the suc- cess of the entertainment.” Mrs, Calhoun said that neither Gov. Smith nor Mrs. Frederick S. Fish, who were reported to have done so, did withdraw as sponsors of the en- tertainment. She then continued: it the invitations to New York sponsors, though many of them were my personal friends, were issued in the name of Mrs. Harrimar. snd the replies were sent directly to her. “In an effort to disintegrate and destroy the entertainment, anonymous letters were sent to some of the pa- pers and even to the Queen, with cop- ies of the letters sent to the paper | As Lole Fuller was the Queen’s friend, they dared not attack her to the Queen, but they used the organization which T represent as a buffer and we were ground between the upper and nether millstones. Nothing to Conceal. “I am grateful for the opportunity, for the sake of the movement I repre. sent, of setting the whole matter straight. We have nothing to con- ceal and nothing to feay from any angle whatsoever. “It is a great satisfaction to be able to show that the former organization, of which I was president, the Wom- en’s ,National Foundation, with very much the same purposes as the Un versal Alliance, only of a national scope instead of a universal scope, paid e member before it was dis- solved not only dollar for dollar but life members and founders with in- terest, a must unusual record, and that my husband and I have person- ally borne four-fifths of the founding expenses of the alllance and all of the traveling and entertainment expenses for it for the last four years. “We have invited a full investiga- tion of its methods and purposes by the National Bureau of Information in New York City.
