Postal Telegraphy bill advances in committee in favor
The fee committee on commerce, by seven to six, approves a Raynor of Maryland bill creating a postal telegraphy system. The bill allocates $5 million for net costs, places the system under a fourth assistant postmaster general, and has war department oversight with presidential approval. Rates: 10 cents for 20 words or fewer, 2 cents per additional miles, with mail rates for telegraphic money orders. The report claims self sustenance and questions government purchase of Western Union property. A separate coroner’s inquest reports the death of a physician in St Joseph tied to abortion procedures.
