Chicago, June 14. '(Special)--The
most flagrant violator of Uncle Sam's
anti-pass law is Uncle Sam himself,
whose postofflce department issues the
equivalent of 200,000 passes, accord
Ing to Julius Kruttschnltt, a "Chicago
director of the "maintenance and oper
ation of 'Tn"e ' Harrlman lines. "The
postofflce department issues annually
about 00 travelling commissions to
postofflce Inspectors and other postal
officials, and require railroad compan
lea to honor such commissions for
free transportation on all trains on
all liner on which malls are carried,"
he skid. . "In some cases these com
missions are issued to government of
ficlals whose officials duties are in no
way connected with the transports
tlon of mail on railroads. The rail
roads have no control whatever over
the Issuance of these commissions,
and cannot even secure from the post-
office department a list of them, the
department holding that the list Is
frequently used for personal travel in
confidential. These commissions are
violation of the rulings of the inter
state commerce commission. The
postofflce department In effect arbi
trarily Issued about 600 annual passes
ever every mall carrying railroad in
the United States, which Is equiva
lent to about, 200,000 annual passes."
Mr. Kruttschnltt, in mentioning facts
not generally known ahout h nn'st-
I office department, also pointed out
J many ways In which the cost of trans-
porting malls could be reduced If the
department looked for them.
"But for the postofflce feature the
combined weight of an eutlre mall
route could many times be handled in
a single car such as is ustd for ex
, press Instead of several heavy and ex-
' pensive postofflce cars," he said "while
1 often extra cars for Btorage mall must
, bi added for which no extra pay is al-
' lowed. The cost of running these
' ! storaxe cars also is not included in
j the computation of cost of service, as
j no accurate statistics of their nurh
I ber or car mileage are available. On
a number of routes postal car pay
has been allowed tot running full cars
in one direction only, classing such
routes as' half lines. This obliges
the railroads to move the car in the
opposite direction without pay, the
small additional compensation of less
than 4 cents per mile run received In
one, direction being entirely inade
quate to compensate the road for the
empty haul to say nothing of allow
ing anything for moving It in direc
tion for which pay is received."

.. A new kind of death at the amuse
ment parks of Chicago is one result
of the Coney Island novelties of the
"thrillers" which each year get more
thrilling and risky. ' Coroner HofT
man .and the city building department
are Investigating the manner of the
death of a man on a new "ride." The
report of the former , said: "There is
a tendency for those riding in the cars
to slide to the outside at the curves.
In order to do away with the danger
of accidents the management were
directed to build cars with high in
closures." Each year the rides are
crowded in gorfl weather for the coun
try over no city is so "parking" mad
as Chicago. One of the new amuse
ments of 1911 is hurling baseballs at
a target, which springs a trap, allow
ing a negro to fall from a consider
able height Into a tub of water. It is
great sport. The negro sits on a bar
above the tank, the man who plays
the game 'purchases a number of
baseballs from the geolal barker and
throws at a target. If he hits the tar
get down drops the bar and down '
plunges the negvo into the tank. Fine
business for everyone except the ne
gro especially on cool flights. But
the rides are probably the strongest
magnets. Some millions of people
seem to prefer to get a thrill by be-
