l IS POSTAL SERVICE
Loss on Second-Class Mail and
Rural Service.
HITCHCOCK MARES HIS REPORT
Sets Forth in Detail Problems That
Have Confronted His Administra
tion. Washington, Special. Confronted
with a deficit of $17,479,775, the pres
ent administration of the Postoftice
Department began its opeartions. This
wa st he largest deficit in the hist or y
of the postal service. So long as the
deficit in the department aggregated
only a few millions of dollars annual
ly, little attention was paid to it ; but
when, in the last few years it leaped
to upward of $ll,000,000 and finally,
in 1909, exceeded $17,000,000, "ordi
nary husiness prudence suggested that
i he causes be definitely located.
These are statements in the annual
report ot Postmaster General Frank
H. Hitchcock, recentiv made public.
The Postmaster-General said in part :
"Recent investigations have shown
that the two great sources of loss to
the postal reveni s are second-class
mail matter and rural deliver'.
"The loss on second-class mail mat
ter has been increasing for many
years, until it now amounts to $64,
000.000. "The loss from rural deliver, a
sreviee begun hardly a dozen year
ago and of unprecedented growth,
reaches as high as $28,000,000.
"Simultaneously with the growing
deficit in the postal service, the na
tion's income suffered last year a seri
ous depletion incident to the financial
depression. Thus it happened that
the department drafts on the Treas
ury were heaviest at a time Avhen thp
public funds were lowest. This has
accentuated the importance of the
postal deficit, making it conspicuous
among the losses to be met by the
President 's plan of reducing expendi
tures in all executive departments.'
'Since the opening of the adminis
tration the Postmaster Genearl and
his assistants have adopted measures
in conformity with the President's
policy of retrenchment, and these
measures are being put into effect."
WINTER GRIPS NEW ENGLAND.
Bitter Weather Ushered in With a
Storm of Terrible Force.
New York, Special. Tragedy and
humor came on the wings of the heavy
snow which "covered New England,
most of the middle Atlantic States and
a fringe of the middle West and
South. Sunday morning paper at
at twilight, morning milk at supper
time, night spent in street cars, in
trains or stations contributed pictur
esque and amusing scenes to soften
the general tone of such deaths as oc
curred. Two i peculiar tidal waves added
bizarre features. At Boston water
npt into the houses, left a man and
wife and child dead in bed, then
crept away. Cellars were flooded in
New York by a wave of less gigantic
proportions.
At Philadelphia snow fell 16 inches
liere, which completely tied up steam
and trolley traffic lor hours.

killed, these men went into the vork
ings. After sending to the surface three
unconscious persons the rescuers next

The efforts of the rescuers to pene
trate more deeply into the workings
