Washington. I). C, Feb. 18. A
deep-seated hostility between Harry
S. New. postmaster general undev
President Harding and Coolidge, ami
John H. Bartlett. his assistant, was
disclosed today by New before t he
senate postal lease investigating com
mittee. He came to defend his rec
ord against Bartlett 's accusations.
Declaring: Bartlett was "obsessed
with the idea that he ought to be
postmaster general," New said the
reason he had "endured" his former
assistant for six years was because
of his "capacity as a trader."
The former postmaster general de
fended the St. Paul commercial sta
tion postoffic e lease whic h he approv
ed, and denied he had attempted to
prevent a grand jury investigation of
it or had recommended dismissal of
the assistant district attorney who
had submitted it to the jury.
Bartlett Retali:tes.
Bartlett. in previous testimony,
said after the grand jury had called
the lease fradulent Xew had rec
ommended dismissal of Assistant At
torney Fesler at St. Paul. Bartlett
also testified that New ordered exe
cution of the lease though it mi
known he. Bartlett, wa:; opposed to
it.
Contracting this testimony. New
said today that Bartleit' bureau had
made every lease, and that he had
never interfered with Bartlett in any
case including the St. Paul contract.
Bartlett late today Issued a state
ment Baying: "The only strained re
lations that I ever had with former
Postmaster General New were be
cause of just such statements at he
made today before the senate com
mittee, namely, that I had full and
untrammelled authority in the mat
ter of making leases, when, as a mat
ter of fact, he went over my head and
onb red leases made as in the case
of the St. Paul lease.
Disapproved System.
"When any complainf came up
about it he would turn the blame
on me by complimenting me for my
shrewdness in making trades, which
I had not made at all. but which he
himhelf had personally directed in
my absence."
Asserting that he had disapproved
of the leasing system in five of his
six annual reports. New told the
committee "no set of government
contracts ever awarded rec eived more
careful, painstaking and conscient
ious scrutiny than did the contracts
for those buildings entered into dur
ing my administration."
"Everyone of these contracts in
my day without a single exception,"
he said, "was made through Bart
lett s bureau." World-Herald.

EXPECT MOEE REMODELING
Omaha Declining birth rate in
United States will have its effect on
the lumber business In that lumber
men may eYpe;"; to sell for a smaller
proportion of new homes in future
years, Paul Kendall, Kansas City,
told Nebraska Lumber Merchants'
convention here Thursday. To offset
this, however, lumbermen in the fu

expected to increase by $207,000,
000 this year over last and quoted
predictions that farm building in
1931 will exceed tiiat of any year
in the past decade. George L. De

subcontractors they employ also carry
workers' compensation insurance.

Ready to Flee
Prepared for Forced Move. But Gen-
end Feeling Is Alfonso Not
Sort to "Run Away"
I Hen day e, France A report flash
led along the Franco-Spanish frontier
I that Alfonso of Spain had .thru a
I "straw man," purchased a chateau
'at Talence, near Bordeaux. This was
! interpreted here to mean that the
king was prepared to take refuge in
Prance should need arise, but that
general feeling is that he would
never "run away."
Instead. s:'y those who know the
Spanish monarch best, he likely
would retire to the chateau volun
tarily to permit free functioning of
the constituent assembly whic bifl
new cabinet is said to have promised
and which would decide whether
Spain is to become a republic, like
her numerous offspring in the Amer
icas or be convened into a "demo
cratic" monarchy similar to that of
England.
Madrid Spain has a new govern
ment, peacefully formed, and is look
ing forward to a period of calm af
ter the political turmoil of the hist
five days. Juan Bautista Aznar,
staunch royalist and political neu
tral, heads the ministry formed by
King Alfonso in a successful effort
to head off another military dicta
torship like that of Miguel Primo de
Rivera.
The king called for no participa
tion by left, socialist and republican
elements, and the attitude remained
problematical. The public generally,
however, seemed to be waiting quiet
ly until the program and policies oil
the new government could be formu
lated and put into effect. State
