Developments regarding the attitude of

upon a new official, Herman F. Bchuettler,

Possibilities of federal Intervention under
certain contingencies are being discussed',
the situation In this respect was outlined
today by Postmaster Coyne. He said:
Thus, far there Is no cause for alarm as
to the mail service. It Is true trains have
been delayed, but that Is not serious enough
to report to Washington. The street car
company owns the mall cars and by con
tract Is obliged to run them In separate
trains and deliver mail at specified points.
There Is no ground for objeetion against
the company sending out mall trains be
tween passenger trains. What else can
the company do If serious delay occurs?
We will report the matter to Washington
and act on instructions from the postal
department.

RECIPROCITY ITS PURPOSE
(Continued from First Page.)
petitions were flled. All the petitioners ask
is that we study the case carefully before
Sasslng upon It. They know what they are
olDg. They represent the moral thought
of the country, and should not be discour
aged. They- Sgarcely ..expect to Influence
our votes, but It is to be hoped that the
petitions will at least have the effect of
causing us to pauxe and give careful at
tention to their representations. If the al
legations now on file with the committee
on privileges and elections can be proved,
I do not believe there Is a senator here
who would vote to have Mr. Smoot con
tinued In his seat, but If they are not
proved I think we would all unite In ask
ing him to remain.
Mr. Hoar replied that he did not believe
any member of the committee on privileges
and elections would find it necessary to
make a public display of his attachment
to the family tie as established In all
Christian countries, and so signally mani
fested In Its beauty In our own country,
and he expressed his surprise that any
senator could consider It necessary to pre
sent his views on this subject. However,
he said, that was a question for all sena
tors to decide for themselves.
Mr. Dubois said In closing that Instead
of discouraging the Christian people of the
country from giving vent to their opinions
In the shape of petitions on the subject, he
would like to have them encouraged In
that direction.
Replying to Mr. Dubois' argument, Mr.
Hoar said that in his remarks yesterday ha
had merely called the attention of his own
constituents to the fact that they are point,
lug out to the senate their determination
of a judicial question. In regard to which
the senators are the judges. He again
compared the supreme court to the senate,
snd asked whether that court was en
gaged In determining an Important' ques
tion, It would be considered proper to de
luge It with petitions indicating the de
cision to be arrived at In the case. Because
of Its importance he thought It most de
sirable that the senate should approach
the aubject in the proper way.
Mr. Hale took the position that the ques
tion of Mr. Bmoot's eligibility had been Im
properly raised at this time. He referred
briefly to the moral aspects of the Smoot
case, and, he said, grave as they are, they
are not more Important than "the Intru
sion of a great religious hierarchy like the
Mormon church Into the political affairs of
the country."
He suggested to the senate the Impor
tance of not prejudicing the case.
A large number of bills were presented
and when this order of business was passed
there was a brief executive session, after
which the senate adjourned until next
Monday.
DEMOCRATS TO PLAN ACTION

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1 The demo
cratic attitude on the Cuban bill, as well
aa Its general policy on public questions,
la to be the aubject of a caucus of the
minority members of the house Saturday
night. A meeting of the minority mem
bers of the ways and means committee
waa held tonight for the purpose of out
lining several amendments to the Cuban
bill. These amendments will Include one
removing the differential on refined sugar,
and the elimination from the treaty of
that portion of article I which blnda the
United States government not to reduce
the duties on sugar for a period of five
years. Should these amendments fall, the
Indications are that the minority members
of the house will decline to support the
Cuban bill.

Is Imped, he continued, that an appeal to
the common sense of the house will succeed
in passing the two amendments to article 8
of the treaty, which amendments, he said,
would be so framed to deny neither the
legal or moral obligation to bind future
congresses or administrations.
