Asking tliut tho city reconsider

HIGH EXCHANGE NETS U. S.
BIG POSTOFFICE PROFITS
4 By United Prau SUff Corrcolxmdrncc!
WASHINGTON, I). C. Feb. 26.
An overcharge of approximately 30
per cent now is being levied against
persons who buyU. S. Postal money
orders to send money to England.
Franco und Italy.
Tho overcharge will nmount to ap
proximately $5,000,000 for the pre
sent fiscal year, it was Indicated to
dny by Post-office Department rec
ords. This is borne directly by per
sons who use tho Post-office Depart
ment t transmit cash ubroad.
Since 1912 tho Post-ofllce Depart
nont tins averaged a profit of ap
proximately $1,000,000 on its foreign
postal nibnoy transactions, reports
show, all of It having come directly
from the pockots of purchasers of
money orders, many of them persons
of small means. Business men use
express concerns, banks' and other
prlvnto concerns for transmitting
mono). ,
The Post-Ofllfce Department now
makes a profit of approximately
$1.57 on each person who sends tho
equivalent of ono British pound ster
ling to England. For a ono-pouml
chock tho department charges $4.87
phiB 6 cents for tho chock. The
pound now actually la worth only
about $3.30 according to prices paid
In tho New York financial markets.
Tho actual" price In Now York vnrles
from day to day. Recently the prices
have ranged from $3.19, tho lowest
record In history, to $3.60.
Tlio present rate of $4.87 chnrgi.1
by the Post-OfTlce Dopnrtmont was
fixed In 1880. No change has been
mndo In it since, although tho Brit
ish pound has been worth less than
that sfnee soon after August.' 1314.

BOLSHEVISTARMY
AGAIN IS VICTOR
TIioilsuixIs of White Guards Die In
Retreat Over Waterless Steppes
' lo tlio Caxplnn.
LONDON, Feb. 26. Tolsey's antl
bolshevik army has been defeated by
soviet troops In tho region of Curler,
a Moscow wireless claimed today.
Thousands of white, troops died "in
their retreat over tho waterless step
pes before reaching the Caspian sea,
the dispatch said, adding that the
white armies In that district seemed
obliterated.
The post-office rates for money
orders to France and Italy also pro
portionately far above the actual
market value of the. franc and lira.
' Postmaster General Burleson has
made no attempt to open negotia
tions to alter the rate on England, so
fur as can be learned. The rate is
fixed by a treaty, called a postal con
vention, entered into between the
British and I'united States postal do
pariments. Under U. S. law, tho
postmaster-general mny propose to
open negotiations to change the rate
nt any time on his own responsibil
ity. There is every reason why Eng-
i land. Franco and Italy should wish
! to niter tho rate, officials said here
J to-day, although it no doubt would
. be u blow to British pride to take
l such formal notice of tho deprecta-
tion of the valuo of the pound ster
I ling. All tlfree countries stand to
loso millions in issuing postal orders
to their' cltteoiiB to send to America,
j Tho Prltlsh post-office, however,
. takes tip tho loss by charging a large
fee for issuing the checR.
Express companies now nro taking
most of the business from the post
office departraento of ,all four coun
tries. American express companies
have been selling checks for a pound
sterling for about $3.50. They make
no charge whatever for tte sorvice
qJ writing the check. The United
States Post-Office, however, makes a
charge of 5 cents for this service in
addition to tho profit it makes as a
result of its high exchange rato.

wishes to pay an obligation of two

COLLEGIANS STUDY
"MURDER" DETAILS
Impressions Not to De Relied on as
Testimony, Class In Psychology "
Decides.
PORTLAND, Feb. 26. That peo
ple generally are poor observers and
that witnesses at murder trials are
not always correct in their Impres
sions, has been proved to the mem
bers of the Reed college psychology
class.
The students were in their class
room hearing Professor Helen Clark
read a paper on "Mystery." , when
they wore startled to hear a noisy
argument outside. It was followed
by two revolver shots. j
James Hamilton, Reed student,
stumbled into the room, his face
streaming with blood, aud went out.
August Dclch. another Reed pupil,
I hurried In and out, apparentl- 'after'
Hamilton.- 1 '
The students in the class, were
told the "murder" had been framed
as a study in psychology, and were
ordered to ' write "news stories" of
what had happeued. ' "
Not ono of the writers was able
to write a correct story. Some had iha
wrong person "shot;" others said
no shots wero fired, dnd some had
heard three shots. Some of the
students said the "murderer", wore
a black hat and others described It
as one of light color.

Introduced by Senator Lodge, post

on Article 10 of the league of nations
covenant until all tbo other reserra- ,
tions are disposed of.
There was no debute in opposit

asked Its purpose, . Lodge replied:
"As everybody knows, this is the
chief question in tbe controversy. I
think there will be time for It it
we can dispose of tbe other questions
first.
Hitchcock cast the only vote,
against Lodge's motion.
"Thla serpent of treason must be
killed a second time," declared Reed,
Democrat, In opening tbe treaty de
bate. Any "senator is warranted In
taking any amount of time ho pleases
to discuss it."
Senator Reed brought tho name of
Colby, the newly appointed Secretary
of State, into the discussion at tbe
beginning of his speech. "One of tho
men who most assiduously misrep
resented tbe league of nations to the
people of the United States has Just

said. "I simply wish to remark that
if he doesn't know any more abnat,
the league and foreign affairs of this
country than he did when he was ia
