OK AIR MAIL
SERVICE IN PLAN
OF DEPARTMENT
' Route Between New York and
. Gate City in Project for
i .Which Appropriation
Is Sought.
; Washington, Jan. 10. Assistant
.'ostmaster-General Praeger at a
; hearing today before the senate
postoffice committee urged appro
' priations of $3,000,000 for the main
tenance and development of the
. aerial mail service. He predicted a
t great future for this service and ae
clared that extensive plans for de
: yeloping aerial mail facilities are be
; ing made by France, England and
Canada, the last named now plan
' ning the establishment of an air
; plane route connecting Montreal
with Boston.
Extension of the present air mail
service between Washington and
! New York so as to connect Boston
with Atlanta is planned, Mr.
Praeger said. In addition, it is al
! so proposed to establish routes con-
necting New York and Omaha via
Chicago and Boston with Detroit
through Albany and Buffalo. Es-
tahlishment of these routes, he said,
' would cost $2,034,000, while he esti-
amted the revenues would total
i 52,050,125. ' v
Unable to Assume Duties. '
' Lincoln, Jan. 10. (Special.)
! Stat Superintendent Clemmons re
: turned to Fremont this afternoon,
' being unable to resume his duties
because of partial paralysis of his
left side. His new deputy, John
v Spcedie, recently of Gretna, is in
charge of the office in his chief's
absence.
Wants New Motto.
Washington, Jan. 10. The motto
"liberty, equality, fraternity," would
replace "E. pluribus unum" on sil
ver dollars here after minted under
the terms of a bill introduced yes
terday by Representative Schall of
Minnesota.
Millions of Letters
for SoldiersOverseas
Remain Undelivered
Washington, Jan. 10. Blame for
delays in the transmission of mail
to and fom soldiers overseas was
placed on the War department to
day by Second Assistant Postmas
ter General Praeger in testimony
before the senate postoffice com
mittee. Most of'the trouble, he
said, was due to "carelessness" on
the part of military officials and the
War department's failure to co
operate with the postal authorities.
"Probably millions of letters ad
dressed to soldiers overseas, which
have accumulated and have not
been delivered, will arrive in New
York wjthin a few days," Mr. Prae
ger said, "and 'will be sent to the
dead letter office, where an attempt
will be made to return them to the
writers." Mr. Praeger said a re
port from a postoffice inspector in
France said that eight or 10 car
loads of mail in France have not
been delivered.
Mr. Praeger said one way to im
prove conditions overseas would be
to send a force of experienced mail
clerks to France to deliver the mail
to the soldiers.
"The trouble do$s not lie at tlie
French ports," declared Mr. Prae
ger. "It lies in the interior. The
mail gets tied up somewhere be
tween army headquarters, censors
and the ports."
Stock Bubble Pricked
by Texas Land Authority
Dallas. Tex., Jan. 10. Sensational
advances on the New York stock
market of Texas and Pacific Land
Trust certificates are probably due
to a mistaken belief that the lands
are owned by the Texas and Pa
cific Coal and Gas company or are
in the new found Texas oil fields,
in the opinion of W. H. Abrams,
for many years land commissioner
of the Texas and Pacific railroad.
He said that most of the land was
in wild territory and two-thirds of
it was west of the Pe'cos and Rio
Grande rivers. The certificates
were issued on unsold land grant
tracts several years ago to the bond
holders. The certificates went up
37 points on the New York stock
market Wednesday and 30 points
more, yesterday. '
