MAIL ROUTE OR FREIGHT
FOR PUBLICATIONS STIRS
TEMPER OF SENATORS
Fight Resumed on Floor Over
Effort to Remove All
Possibility of Discrimination
PLAN TO CHECK DELAY
WASHINGTON, Juno 28. Tho Senate to
day resumed the fight over Section T of tho
postofTlce appropriation bill, which gives
power to the Postmaster General to extend
the zona in which ho may send publications
and other second-class matt by freight In
stead of by mall trains. Senator Bankhcad,
of Alabama, chairman of tho committee,
called for a voto on the motion of Senator
Aehurst of Arizona, to strike out the sec
tion nnj thereby removo all possibility of
discrimination.
Before a voto was taken, Senator Norris,
of Nebraska, offered an amendment, and It
was adopted, pro Iding that Instead of strik
ing out tho section, as Senator Ashurst pro
posed : provision bo made that the Postmas
ter General could not send publications,
such aB tho Ladles' Home Journal, which ho
cited, by freight trains instead of In mall
cars, when Buch methods resulted In delay
or discrimination In their delivery. Senator
ABhurst announced this amendment was un
satisfactory, as It still left tho matter of
delivery to the Postmaster Ooneral and
failed to remove possibility of discrimina
tion, and said ho would demand a rollcall
later.
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, sug
gested that an amendment offered in 1912
be adopted whereby tho publishers would bo
left to solect between paying 2 cents a
pound for mail delivery and a cent a pound
for frolght delivery. Senator Hardwlck, of
Georgia, a member of the PostofTlce Com
mittee, launched an attack upon certain
publishers of periodicals as n result of news
dispatches sent out from Washington by a
news sen Ice controlled by these publishers.
Senator Hardwlck said the issue was not
a question of "restriction of the freedom
of the press," but the principal question
was one of "free graft" for, tho press.
"If we charged the magazines and press
what it cost to transport them," he added,
"we could give universal 1-cent postage."
Senator Ashurst said this was not the
question at Issue. He demanded equal Jus
tice for all and spoko against giving the
Postmaster General discriminatory power.
"Tho Postmaster General has not abused
his power," retorted Mr. Hardwlck.
"Ho has not because he has no discrim
inator' power at present," explained Sen
ator Cummins. "This section proposes to
abolish tha law defining what publications
can go by fast freight and therefore would
give tha Postmaster General arbitrary
powers."

BRITISH EXPERT SAYS BRITAIN
NEEDS $25,000,000 A DAY
Only Four-Fifths of That Sum Can Bo
Available
LONDON, Juno 28 In an Interview to
day Sir Georgo Palsh, the famous British
financial expert, says Britain must raise
$26,000,000 dnlly for the war. Tho powor
to do so is problematical, ho adds. Con
tinuing, ho enys:
"Flvo million dollars a day can bo
crented by selling nbrond our securities,
and tho taxation proposed by tho Chancellor
of the Exchequer would glvo roughly
$7,600,000 a day, whllo wo could find out of
the savings of tho pooplo about $7,600,000,
bo there would remain about $6,000,000
a day. To And that is tho problem before
tho country.
"It may bo found flrit by ovorybody
being extraordinarily economical and giv
ing tho money which thoy would otherwise
spond to tho Government. It Is doubtful
whether wo could got $5,000,000 in that
way.
"Ono thing that Is needed Is for tho rich
people, especially, to borrow something like
$1,600,000,000 In order that they may lend
this to the Government for the financing of
the war."

LONDON, Juno 28. Tho nlr
rhnrirftfl will, nimnrft nf n.
Cabinet crIMs over tho Irish home ruio
compromise. Tho fact that there wore two
prolonged Cabinet councils yesterday In
addition to party meetings, seemed to con
firm this view,
An ovenlng newspaper announced last
night that tho Marquis of Lansdowno, Min
ister without portfolio, and Walter Humo
Long, president of tho Local Governing
Board, had actually rcilgncd but that their
resignations had not boon accepted.
Lord Sotborno, In tho House of Ldrds,
stated that nothing wns expected to be
announced concorhlng tho situation until
after n meotlng of Unionists today, nt
which It was still hoped that tho Influence
of Androw Bonnr Law, Socrotary of Stato
for Colonies, who supports Premier Asqulth
and Mr. Llovd-Gcoriro. who framed tho
Irish compromise, might possibly avert n
rupture. ,
Lnst night, however, It was announced
that tho Unionist meeting hnd been post
poned until next week at tho deslro of Mr.
Bonar Law nnd tho Government, who
wished further tlmo for consideration of tho
Irish proposal. Tho postponement permits
of tho hopo that a crisis will bo avorted
Lord Selborno nlHO explained to tho Hoiiso
of Lords tho reasons for his retirement
from the Cabinet as president of tho Board
of Agrlculturo. This was duo to dissatis
faction with tho proposed settlement of tho
irisn question.
Ho said his understanding of tho basis of
the Inquiry mndo by Mr. Lloyd-Georgo was
that It contemplated an amendment of the
homo ruio act whereby Ulster, or a part,
should bo excluded from tho operntlon of
the act, and that the bill of exclusion should
bo passed during tho war, but that neither
tho principal act nor tho amending net
would como Into operntlon until tho resotra
tlon of pcaco. In this belief ho concurred
In tho appolntmont of Mr. Llojd-George to
tako up negotiations.
Questions regnrdlng progress of tho Irish
negotiations directed to Premier Asqulth In
tho Houbo of Commons yesterday wero
postponed at his request.

13-ycar-old girl, who mado the startling
ndmlSBlon on tho witness stand nt tho trial
of her mother, Mrs. Hoso V. Smith, of G623
Chester avenuo. thnt she, nnd not tho
mother, had shot and killed her father,
Charles Smith, repeated her story today,
and tho District Attorney's office apparently
Is Inclined to nccept It as showing that the
shooting was accidental.
"I Just meant to senro him I didn't know
I pulled tho trigger," sho repented over
and over again In tho parlor of her homo
nnd surrounded by the reunited family.
"Oh, my papa I didn't mean to Bhoot
him "
The girl's admission olectrlfled tho Court
of Oyer nnd Terminer, where Mrs. Smith
wns being tried yesterday afternoon, and
resulted In a prompt. verdict of acquittal
for tho mother.
District Attorney Rotan' Is studying tho

tails by telegraph, for ho Is away on his

however, this afternoon with Assistant Dis
trict Attornoy Gordon, who Is in chargo of
