WILDER ON POSTAL SYSTEM

dresses Committee on Maajaslne
Postage Hate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. Severely criti
cising the government's syttem of conduct
ing the Fostofflce department, George W.
Wilder, president of the Butterlek Pub
lishing company, and principal spokesman
of the magazine and periodical publishers'
committee here trying to prevent the
threatened Increase of the postal rate on
second-class matter, addressed the houic
committee on postoffices and post roadH
today.
Mr. Wilder charged that the Postoffice
department was not efficient because of
inadequate salaries paid and therefore the
quality of men needed for the work was
not attracted.
Representative Fassett of New York re
sented the latter statement, declaring the
Postofflco department had attracted such
men as John Wanamaker and G. B. Cor
tel.vou. Mr. Wilder said there was no Justlfca
tlon for separating newspapers and maga
zines and charging the latter more than
the former.

to groundless rumors. He said:
"I assure you with perfect frankness and
sincerity that the bonds of amity between
the two countries are nHng constantly
strengthened snd there Is absolutely no
cause for apprehension. The friendship
between Japan and the T'nlted States,"
cohtinued the baron, "stands firm ard en
during upon foundations which are essen
tial to the beat Interests of the commer

governments are directing their best ef
forts to attain the object In view."
Baron Komura detailed the opportunities
which lnst year afforded to manifest feel
Wg of mutual regard between the Pnited
states and Japan, mentioning the visit

government. In view of the Important Japa
nese Interests Involved and considering
that the proposal came from a friendly
power with which the empire waa on terms

the most careful examination.
"While determined to adhere scrupulously
to the policy of the open door and equal
opportunity It should be recognlzsd the

In line with this Investigation. Ordinarily
cases presented to the Jury for trial In the

of the United States attorney. Where,
however, the subject of Inquiry affects the

Involves the complaint of a violation of
the anti-trust statute having a more than
local effect, the attorney general exercises
a special tupervislon. He Is particularly

"There will be no change In the present
Instance. Mr. Sims, in whom the attorney

expect to keep In touch with It; to come to

against Richard A. Ballingcr, secretary of
the Interior, were finally made clear to
the concessional Investigating committee
before Its first session adjourned yesterday
afternoon. . Louis D. Brandeis of Boston,
special counsel for Glavis, Informed the
committee upon Its Insistence of the spe
cific nature of the allegations, though
maintaining that It was not any one act,
but a series of acts and circumstances,
upon which the charges were based.
Particularizing, Mr. Brandols said that
Mr. Ballinger had acted as an attorney In
drawing up an agreement In escrow and
mentioned in the Wilson Coal company
cases In Lewis county, Washington, these
cases being an alleged fraud upon land
laws, this being before Ballinger entered
the government service and his name not
appearing In the court records of the case.
As commissioner of tho land office In
1W7, said Brandels, further specifying,
Ballinger did not show due diligence In
further Investigating the alleged frauds
connected with the Cunningham coal land
cases In Alaska and was otherwise In
volved Improperly therein.
Glavis was before the committee and both
he and his attorney were closely ques
tioned by Its members. - The hearing will
be resumed tomorrow.
