Feb. 16.—The Hous today resolved itself into a committee | of the whole for the consideration of the postal appropriation bill Overstreet of Indiana, chairman of the committee, explained that the bill | carried the largest appropriation ever | brought into the House and that the |Increase had been made necessary by | the increased compensation for clerks, carriers in city dellvery offices and | rural delivery carriers. | In making provision for increase-of compensation to the several classes of postal employes, Overstreet sald, a re- classification of clerks and carriers was necessary so as to put employes of both services upon a common footing, inter- changeable in service and eligible equally for advancement. Overstreet said the committee had reached the conclusion that a reduction in the raflway malil pay was absolutely necessary. “The railroads are trying to stam- pede the House,” he said, “yet there is not a scintilla of evidence to show that the reduction is excessive. The postal service will not be impaired in the slightest degree and not a train will be cut off, notwithstanding the threats of the raflroad companies. There has not been a telegram received by the mem- bers of this House from a business con- cern or a commercial body which has not been prompted by the railroads, and | for one Ie refuse to be stampeded by | their threats or deflected by their en- treaties.” : “A united press is more powerful than Congress,” sald Overstreet, in dis- | cussing the report of the postal com- mission on second-glass matter, but, he added, it was with great regret that he| had observed an abience of fair inves- tigatigh on the part of certaln news- papers in criticizing the findings of the | commission. He continued: “We will never be able, in my judg- ment, to reach any knowledge of satis- | factory adjustment of the great prob- |lem of second-class mail matter until | we can have the co-operation of the | great press, daily and periodical. It is |in the interest of those enterprises that | legislation is nee ed| The antiquated | laws of today arc scarcely enforceable. | A strict enforcemgnt of existing laws | relative to the sgeond-class matter of | mail/might easily result in great harm | and loss, to publishers, but as long as | the n¢ ~pers,and periodicals of the country ...sist”on wholesale criticism without fair and reasonable co-opera- tion on their part, I fear we will always have an unfortunate entanglement and D HIS BLIND DAUGHTER HAZEL.

SUES ELIJAH THE SECOND Hugh Craig Will Prosecute Old Action in Illinois Courts The damage suit of Hugh Cralg against John Alexander Dowle of Zion, I, former prophet of the Church of Zion, has been reopened through the filing of a suit yesterday by Craig to restore records in the original case, in which he recelved judgment of $2727.36 against Dowie In 1905. As soon as the records can be restored Attorney T. W. Hubbard of this city, representing Cralg, will leave for Chi- capo, where he will institute proceed- ings against Elijah II in the Iilinois courts. The new suit will be based on the judgment given” in this city. Craig was one of Dowie's converts when the prophet came to San Fran- cisco in 1880 with a view to saving the city, and later acted as a sort of ad- vance agent and business manager for Dowie, arranging for the use of the Grand Opera-house and expending con- siderable sums of money in behalf of the interests of Zion. Dowie failed to settle according to agreement, and af- ter several years of legal action Cralg finally secured judgment in Judge Hos- mer's-court, only to find that he was unable to collect. —_——————— HELD UP NEAR HIS HOME D.
