A3 now drawn the bill provides an average increase of $300 a year to each -of the 200.000 em ployes with a total added expen diture of more than $60,000,000. Negotiations already underway to fix a date for a vote on the veto, Senator Curt.'s, Kansas, republican leader, said today in reply to a question from Senator Dill, demo crat, Washington. In the cloak rooms predictions were heard that the poll j would , not be delayed much beyondt the present week. Senator Edge, republican. New Jersey, and other proponents of the salary increases, were said to hold that it would be impossible, legally, to combine the two pur poses in i one state without run ning foul of the; constitutional in hibition against the senate In augurating revenue-raising legis lation. It was! their contention that the pending salary bill should be enacted at once and a separate bill in the house to effect the rate revision. I To Follow Plan Estimates of the extent of the rate changes to be proposed were not attempted by any of the in terested senators but they indicat ed that the recommendations mad by Postmaster General : New last .April probably would be followed to a degree. These included: Second class Increases of one and one half cents a pound on ad vertising matter! in first and sec end zones and of one and one quarter cents in third zones. Third jelass Transferring to fourth class all matter above eight : ounces in weight. Fourth class General advance In parcel' post rates for local deliv ery and In other zones with an estimated I Increase in revenue from this class . or $30,000,000. Insurance! and registry : fees, also would be j boosted. ' The postmaster general com ruted the; total increased receipts from his schedules at $50,000. 000, compared with a total in creased expenditure of $150,000. 000. ;-hich he saw in all postal bills then; before congress or In preparation. The report submit ted today was described by Mr. New. as merely, a "fact finding statement." in which no deduc tions or recommendations had been attempted. ! The work was started by a joint postal commis sion set up by congress but the commission having expired last June it was completed by the de partment 1 through certified ac countants and engineers. i Phone 883 DICTIONARY How to Get It For the mere nominal cost of Manufacture and Dittributioa 3986 Secures thl NEW, authentic Webster's Dictionary, bound in genuine seal grain FabriVoid, illustrated in full color and black halftone. ;.j . j .

A double row of globes suspended from the roof diTfuHC the room with soft light. In the rear, on a raised floor, is the writing room. Heavily upholster ed leather chairs line the walls on both sides of the lower floor, and the clerk's counter, of Oregon fir, fills the corner under the stair cases !' . t Special fire protection is gained! through the three "sets of auto matic fire doors which separate one section of the hotel from the others. The doors are kept open by lead plugs which when heated by a possible fire yield and the doors close, thus shutting oft the lire originating m one section from spreading to the others.

New Complaint Is Filed - in Bozell-Bollman Case In the new papers filed by at torneys for Mrs. Alice Bozell, speciric charges of adultery are brought against Kred Bozell and Miss Celia . Bollman, private sec retary to Governor Pierce. The papers just filed are an amend ment to the complaint in the $50, 000 damage suit brought by JUrs. Bozell against Miss Bollman, charging alienation of her hus band's affections. The complaint states the crime was committed in CentraJIa when Fred Bozell and Miss Bollman were registered in a hotel as husband and wife. The complaint states that on November 8. they registered as Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Bowman and occupied room No. 216 and that again on November 26, the day before Thanksgiving, they regis tered as F. M. Bowman and wife and had room No. 218. The original complaint Was non suited on November 20 by Judge Percy R. KeKlly as showing no cause for action, due to the fact that the words "intentionally and maliciously" alienated, were omit ted, and also because it was not stated that the plaintiff and her husband were living together in a "happy and contented" manner.
