Sunshine had sailed from Galveston
with clearance papers for Havana, but
instead of going to the Cuban port,
sailed directly for Tampico. Punish
ment for that alleged offense would
be dealt by authorities of the port to
which the erring vessel sailed. Inas
much as the Constitutionalists are ad
ministering the laws at Tampico. the
Sunshine will suffer no penalty.
Reports that Tampico's customs
house had been seized after the man
ner of the occupation of Vera Cruz,
were specifically denied by the avy
Department. No such move was in
contemplation at Tampico or any
other Mexican port, the statement
said.
Carranza's Attitude to
Be Known Next Week
By Associated Press
Niagara Falls. Ont., June 6.—Defi
nite word about the Constitutionalist
attitude toward mediation is not ex
pected by the South American envoys
until Monday, or possibly Tuesday.
They realize that General Carranza's
trip from Durango to Saltillo will oc
cupy him during the next 48 hours
and they are not disposed to worry
about the delay, believing time for de
liberation is an essentia] at this mo
ment.
The mediators have no inkling of
what the Constitutionalists will do, nor
have either set of delegates. The feel
ing however, is one of hope.

KREIDER BILL FOR
POSTOFFICE PUSSES
[Continued from First Page.]
to the wings, for which contract has
already been let, and agreement
the additional work will be
within a few weeks between the ex
tractor and the government. 1
The bill presented by Congressman
Olmsted and setting aside $125,000
for the improvement of the Post Office
here was passed long bel'ore-the parcel
post regulations went into effect and
did not contemplate space for that
new and rapidly growing branch of the
business.
Mr. Kreider's Foresight
Congressman Kreider late last wln-
Iter, after an inspection of the build
ing, an examination of the plans and
consultation with Postmaster Frank C.
Sites, found that the structure as con
templated under the Olmsted im
provements would not be sufficiently
large to accommodate the postal traf
fic now passing through the local of
fice, much less take care of its growth
In the future, lie immediately pre
pared and introduced in Congress a
bill appropriating s7s,ooo'in addition
to the $125,000 already available, and
made a strong plea for its passage.
Congressman Kreider is a member
of the important committee on public
buildings and when his measure cam<*
un in that body he laid before the
members at length the urgency of the
need of additional money for the Har
risburg post office and the committee
returned the bill to the House with a
favorable recommendation.
Unanimous Consent
When the measure came up for final
passage as a special emergency bill it
required the unanimous consent of the.
members. Congressman Kreider took
the floor and In a brief but convincing
speech impressed upon his fellow
congressmen that it would tie the part
of economy to appropriate at once the
money for which he asked In order
that the work at Harrisburg, which
would have to be done eventually at
all events, could all be done under one
contract. This speech resulted in the
passage of the measure without a dis
senting vote and it then went to the
Senate, where Congressman Kreider
brought it to the attention of Senator
Penrose and other influential members
of that body, with the result that the
appropriation was approved late yes
terday afternoon without any oppo
sition whatsoever.
Congressman Congratulated
Congressman Kreider's friends are
congratulating him upon this splendid
piece of constructive work on behalf
of his some district. Not only does it
show that Mr. Kreider is in thorough
touch with the needs of the three
counties making up the district which
he represents, but it also illustrates
his ability to get through Congress
legislation that in the hands of a less
able member might easily fall by the
wayside.
The passage of this post office hill is
not only remarkable because of the
fact that Mr. Kreider is a Republican,
whereas Congress is overwhelmingly
Democratic, but all the more so for
the reason that the Kreider bill is the
only emergency appropriation measure
of the kind that has been passed dur
ing the present session of Congress or
is likely to be. Postmaster Sites was
very much gratified to receive a tele
gram to-day announcing the passata
of the measure. Mr. Sites has been
kept thoroughly acquainted with what
Congressman Kreider has been doing
I nthe matter and it was with his
hearty apprivol that the Kreider bill
was introduced.
