HITCHCOCK IS CALLED
Proceed Slowly, He Advises, in

Washington, Aug. 1.—Poitmaiter
General Frank E. Hitchcock wo* placed
on the defenelve today when celled a*
a wltnee* before the congreeelonal tn-
veatlgatlng committee appointed to in
quire Into the continued lone to the
government In the carrying of eecond-

L. Lowell, of Harvard college, and
Horry C. White, of Chicago, ae hie a»-
eoclate*. The Investigation follow* the
attempt of Hitchcock to have the eec
ond-claes poetal rate* Increased, e,pe
daily In so for as the carylng of magu-
xlnes Is concerned.
When Mr. Hitchcock took the stand
today ha had a long etnlemnt ready to
submit, covering In detail the work
ings of tho postal department. In re
sponse to a question, Mr. Hitchcock
eald:
“The ledgers of the poetal departm
should never show a heavy deficit, nor
should they show a considerable sur
plus, Whenever the receipts are In ex
cess of the expenditures the profit
should be returned to the public either
by way of decreased postal rate* or
thru enlarged postal facilities"
Speaking of hls recent attempt to In
crease the rate on second-class matter,
Mr. Hitchcock said:
"It Is desirable that we proceed
■lowly on any plan for Increased postal
rale* In second-class matter. One of
the regulations Is to Itnpoee no unrea
sonable hardship on the Interests con
cerned. A radical Increase suddenly
Imposed might do much harm."

White, whose confession started the
Lorimer case. In continuing hls testi
mony today before the Lorimer Investi
gating committee explained hls politi
cal relations with the Democratic party.
He said he wa* a Democrat on prin
ciples, but that he hhd voted for Re
publicans and Socialists.
When asked to explain hls voting for
Republicans and Socialists White said
that It was In city elections, where he
“knew the candidates personally and
voted for the beet man."
"Did you ever say before you took
your seat In the Illinois general assent,
bly that you would accept money If any
were offered you?" asked Judge Ha-
necy.
"I can’t recall saying that," answered
White.
"Did you say If you found corrup
tion In the legislature you would ex
po** itr
"Yes. elr. I did."
Numerous letters which passed be
tween White and Lee O'Neil Browne
prior to the convening of the forty-
■Ixth general assembly, which showed
the friendly relations existing between
the two men, were Introduced.
Browne was anxious to secure White
as a supporter for hls candidacy for
minority leader. He urged White to
come to Springfield and was met there
by Browne. Browne asked White to

This White did.
"Did you attend the caucus of the
Democratic party In the St. Nicholas
hotel 7" asked Hanecy.
"I did.”
"What was the reeultr . •,
"Mr. Browne was elected itlmortty
leader."
"Why were you opposed to Mr. Shurt-
leff for speaker?"
"Because I felt suro that he waa un
fair to labor. I denounced him In a
resolution at the convention of the
State Federation of Labor In 1008. This
resolution was adopted by the con
vention. It Instructed tho men to try
and defeat Bhurtleff, not only os speak
er, but wa a member of the legislature.”
Considerable Interest was manifested
during White's rscltal of the use of
railway posses by members of the Illi
nois legislature. He testified that each
member of the legislature wa* furnish
ed by every railroad In the atate with
annual posses. He said that very often
members would exchange passes Leg
islators even loaned posses to friends.
White nomed about 15 roods which
supplied the posses.
"One day os I was sitting at my desk
on the floor of the house," sold White,
"Mr. Flannigan, a Republican mem
ber, came to me and said there was a
gentleman In the lobby whom he want
ed to Introduce to me. I followed him
and we met n man whose name 1 can't
recall, hut who was an attorney for a
railroad. The attorney said ‘here Is a
pass for’you. I hope-that you will re-
turn the compliment by voting against
senate bill 318.'
“Did you vote against the bill?"
"No sir: I voted for It.”
"Were you ever offered money or any
other consideration for your vote?”
"No sir; only In the ense of the pass."

A MAN’S VIEW
Miss Emma Bunting's personal popu
larity waa amply attested Monday night
tha Lyrto when the Immense au
dience of first nlghtera sat eagerly thru
the four acts of hel new play,, being
dlamlseed at 11:65. Thla wa* the pre
mier of "Teas of tho Storm Country,"
which la to be the starring vehicle of
tha popular little actress the coming
aeaaon.
Ten" Is a melodrama, and aa pre
sented Monday night It has somo good
apote and some spots which are not so
good. With a few change* the play can
be shortened to a reasonable length and
made to go more smoothly.
Those Atlanta playgoers who may
have had their doubts of Miss Bunt
ing's ability to carry a sustained dra
matic role had their doubts sot at rest.
Tho character which she has created
In Tesslbel Skinner is Intense In many
laces, and especially Is this true In the
rst act, when her father Is arrested
for the murder of the gome warden (of
which crime he Is not guilty) and Teas
Is pleading far hls liberty, and in tho
second act, when Toss Is told that the
Jury has found him guilty. In her
character of an unkempt, hulf-savage,
man-raised child, when her father Is
brought to her In handcuffs, and she Is
told with what he Is charged,' Toss'
first thought is'of her daddy. She con
soles him with a half purring, wholly
mother-liko crooning. And then sud
position to the measure was voiced.
The house game and fish committee
on Monday afternoon had a lengthy
session for the consideration of several
game and fish measures, agreeing on
reports to be submitted to the house.

A WOMAN'S VIEW
For the first time In Atlanta’s theat
rical history a premiere production was
given here when Rupert Hughes' new
pluy, VTess of the Storm pountry," wa*
presented, with Miss Emma Bunting In
tho star'-role, ut the Lyric on Monday
evening.
The charming little actress had her
nudlcr.ce with her from the start—or
rather, before the start. 'For her pop
ularity with an Atlanta audience rests
on a solid foundation of two seasons'
rcnrlng. .
Miss Bunting’s Tess Is not exactly
the heroine of the book from which the
play Is dramatised, but I* Imbued with
her own personality to such an extent
that her Tess. once seen, replaces tho
Tess of the novei—ni a picture In oils
would replace a crayon copy in the
memory. The range from chlllshnea
to womanliness, from pathetic hnppl
ness to the deepst agony of mind, from
a reckless hare-brained deviltry to a
reverent faith, Is the gamut run hy tho
child-woman of the Storm Country.
Miss Bunting measures up to the part
fully. In fact, one wondered If the part
meusured up to her capacity, for. If
there was uny criticism of moment on
the play. It must He on the playwright
more heavily than the company pre
senting It.
While the weakness of the company
In all but nno or two Instances did not
--- give Miss Bunting a fair chance, It was
denly It dawns upon her that he Is to. f . nliy t ,, overlook their shortcomings In
