Several Post Offices have been moved since use of the tubes was | discontinued in 1918, and new attach- | ments will be necessary, but th |tubes, he said, are in condition for getting the right price.” Mr. Emerson. pointed out that the tubes were built for the Post Office Department at a big investment for # |eapacity of 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 let- jters datly, or one-sixth of the daily | mail of the Nation; that they connect | thirty Post Offices and when in full | operation are the centre of the New fork Postal sohéme.

The original \investment there was $3,700,000. The ‘city has twenty-eight miles of double tubes, which, rt to Mr. Emer- | {son, can be operated at $16,01 mile a year. The company asks a 6 per cent. profit. When the tubes were last leased by the Government the cost was, $17,000 a mile. The entire |tube expenditure of the department | wax approximately $800,000, of which 000 was in New York.

Senator James J. Walker of New York arose on the floor, under inanimous consent of bis colleagues, to @ question of privilege, and asked Mr. Lusk if the statement made by | Dr. O. KR. Miller, the reform lobbyist, |that Lusk had been offered $100,000 |to kill the mdvie censorship bill, which was made a jaw in the last ses- sion, was true. Dr, Miller's state- jment was made as part of, = defense lof his action in accepting the police | silver chest . | Senator Walker made no mention of the silver service. There was no taunt in his inquiry, ‘There was rather sorrow in his tone. He started by saying that however unworthy he might be to occupy the position he holds In the Senate, it was one which he would always be proud to have occupied. Mr, Walker said a charge had been made that a member of the Senate had received an offer of $100,000 to influence lesisiation. He wanted to know if the charge was true. He wanted to know this, he said, not only for the sake of the} member, but for the reputation of the Seflate, of which they were all mem- bers, Then he turned to Senator Lusk and asked him personally what truth there was in the statement. All eyes were on Senator Lusk then, for the members seemed to feel as did Senator Walker. The men of Senator Lusk’s party hoped the an- swer of the Governor's mouth on the floor of the Senate would be a di- rect and firm denial. But it wasn’t. Senator Lusk gave no indignant denial. He bandied words with the minority leader, and three times the New York Senator | 70: to accept Senator Lusk's reply that “if such an offer had been made” he would have tmmediately told the Sen- ate of it.
