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.

Washington, Aug. 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 1 Ity li 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.

Beginning in a low but clearly distinct Voice, Tess tells why he can not be guilty of mur der. With sobs and repressed breaks In her voice, she tells how lender heart ed he Is, and how he raised her him self, and once had cried over a hurt she had received, and then she sav agely demands of her auditors if that. kind of man can be a murderer. It then dawns upon her that If the Jury has found her father guilty of murder he will be punished In some other way than Just being locked up.
