' greaa an eatlmate of the postmaster gea-
eral Of S4M.000 for operating the postal
v' aavtnga banks during the next flacal year
' In addition to the unexpended S6MMM

'ft By an almost unanimous vote most of
the repubtioan membera of the eommlt-
tee voting with the solid democratic ma-
.isf Jorlty the houee committee on paatof-
floes and poat roada has directed Chalr-
man Moon to report that committee's
' approprtastlon bill for the next fiscal year
carrying from 20.000OW to t27o.00(MKM).
. . The striking features of the bill are the
' ' legislative "rtdere" It oarriea.
' Beginning July 1 nest and until June
0 1H tha bill provides for a limited
paroata post pending the Investigation
of the general paroel poat question by
a rommkfslon whloh la recommended and
'.Thlch would be expected to report to
congress within the two-year period of
' the Umltad parcels post whloh Is de-
fined aa follows:
"Tba on each and all rural mall de-
livery rentes of the United States until
- June 10 1914 the postmaster at the
starting point of such route shall re-
eetve and deliver to the carrier or car-
' rlers of said route all articles or pack-
ages not prohibited to the malls by law
..and falling under the definition of fourth
class matter and not weighing in ex-
cess of eleven pounds tor transmission
and delivery on aald routes only; and
the carrier aball receive at Intermediate
points on an rural routes such mail mat-
ter of .the- fourth claaa for delivery on
their respective routes only. - Postage
shall be paid' on an articles parcels or
packages entitled to transportation under
the provisions of this act as matter of
the fourth claaa on rural mall delivery
routes only at tha following rates: On
cent for each two ounces or leas; 2 cents
'Tor mora than two ounces but not mors

eight ounces but Sot more than twelve
ounces; S canta for more than twelve
ounce but not mora than a pound and
: canta . for each additional pound or

total of eleven pounds."
This would make tha maximum charge
a MNUl .h. . .

Another Interesting provision of tha
blU If thai it reduces .the general fourth
claaa rata to it cents a pound and m-
rreaaas tha limit Of weight ' to eleven
pounds the rat now being 11 cents and
tba Umft being four pounds. Under

WASHINGTON February 20. --Whether
It would be dangerous from the stand-
point' of facipg an enormous Indemnity
verdict for the United States to submit
to The Hague tribunal claims of the re-
public of Columbia of the Panama canal
strip Is a question Which the house com-
mittee on foreign affairs will thoroughly
consider before making a report to-congress
of its investigation of Columbia's
aulL '
Hearings on the Ralney resolution urg-
ing submission of the dispute to The
Hague continued Joday. Henry N. Hall
of the New York World summed up the
evidence in the case which he said tend-
ed to prove that former President Roose-
velt took the Isthmus In violation of
treaty obligations that the revolution waa
fomented by thia country- and that Col-
umbia waa entitled to reparation.
The fact that Secretary of Etate Knox
waa trying to aettle It fndlrectly was dis-
cussed Mr. Hall declared that He did not
believe any settlement made by Colum-
bian and United State arbitrator wHh
the president of some South American
country aa referee would b satisfactory
to the Columbian people.. " '
"Columbia has good reason to .beware
of her own public men" said Mr. Hall
"and so long as The Hague tribunal la
in existence the United States and Col-
umbia ought to be able to aettle their dirt
ferencea there satisfactorily. In a recent
speech Secretary Knox pointed out that
the United States wanted to see 411 na-
tions of the world send their -difference
to The Hague."
"How do you account for the fact
then" aaked Representative Garner of
Texaa "that Secretary Knox' doe not"
want to seed thia dispute with Columbia
to The Hague!" . . .
"I can well see how there Is soma hesi-
tation on Secretary Knots' part to take
into The Hague this indefensible case:
Ha does not want to. go h with losing
case in whloh tha judge can do nothing
but say that be should pay. Columbia

That this would amount to more than
