ATLANTA, July 11 (A. A Senate committee investigating Republican patronage conditions closed its inquiry locally today with examination of a young woman postmistress who revealed that Georgia postmasters customarily paid percentages of their salary to the party organization. Recalled to the stand after she had testified last Monday, Miss Esther Mc Collum, postmistress at Conyers, said no money ever had been demanded rfom her but she had visited John W. Martin, Republican treasurer, regarding a re appointment and he had informer he it was customary to contribute a percentage of salary. "In my case, fre said it would be five per cent," Miss McCollum declared under questioning, asserting, however, that so far as she was concerned her payments were voluntary contributions.

To inquiry by Senator Smith W. Bropk hart, Iowa, chairman, the young woman said her payments amounted to about $100 annually. Senator Brook hart read from the report of a postal Inspector who iqubted Miss McCollum as saying a man "now dead," had paid $500 to Martin in her behalf. "Did you make such a statement?" Brookhart f. i "No; that Is not the way I told him to write it," the postmistress replied.

"What I said was in answer to a question as to whom might have paid Mr. Martin $500 for me if: it had been paid. I said I know of only one man who might have done such a thing for a man who lived in my town and who was now dead and whose name rilrt nnt. want to reveal." Senator Cyrus Locher, Ohio, the other memDer oi tne committee, joined Senator Brookhart in a slashing cross examination of the postmistress in an endeavor to ascertain whether she did not know that a friend had paid Martin $500 for her. She stuck to her original statement.

Mr. Watson was a close friend of your father and was afraid that you would lose the job if you didn't pay the money," wasn't he?" Locher demanded. "Yes, he was," she replied. At this juncture, William Schley Howard, attorney for the Republican committee, gave the committee a surprise by asking? "Watson was a postmaster himself, familiar with the machinery and you went to him for advice?" "Yes, Miss McCpllum said, i YOUTH DROWNS AT.HARVETS LAKE Ralph Freyj of Wilkes Barre, Is Victim Special to the Republican HARVEY'S LAKE, July II.

In addition to great general improvement in President Coolldge's health since his departure from Washington, reports from the Summer white house indicate that this year's vacation has virtually, chief executive pf rose fevere, his annual ailment.

This indisposition, which closely resembles hay fever in its heretofore Jiad invariably siezed Mr. Coolidge in the Springtime and bothered him until lats Summer. In Washington the chief executive submitted to weekly treatments for it from a nose specialist. The pure air of the heafl of the lakes region has xibne much to free Mr. Coolidge Of the disagreeable sensations of rose fever.

Medical authorities claim this is due to the comparatively small area of open pasture and field land hereabouts as compared to the wooded sections. Little pollen is therefore produced toV cause, hay and rose fever. AQ 'breeze? from Lake Supers lor( which are free from all pollen, do much to assure always pure air in this region. Keeping step with his recovery from roce fevere, President Coolidge has derived enormous bnfits, according to physicians, from th open air life. He has lost completely the tired and haggard look he had when he arrived in Superior and his spirits have picked up greatly in the last month.

As an Illustration of how her mind seemed to "work" during the flight, Miss Earhart told of. how one of her bootlaces was tight, and that instead injr of stooping over and it as she would have done at home, she just, sat thought about it. "I suppose I had in the back, of my head that if I unlaced my boot to fix it something might r' happen' at that particular moment." When finally she did fix it, Miss. Earhart said she did it hurriedly in the dark and "then straightened up on my little bench again ready for anything" i One Benefit, Anyway In i opening his talk, Stultz said "I think the finest' thing' about aviation is that the noise of the motor prevents a man from having to talk." "Lou and he remarked, "are probably the first chauffeurs in history to take a lady to a party and then go to the party with her." Ttultz agreed with Commander Richard Byrd that tri motored planes with pontoons were the safest for ocean flights. "The toughest nut we had to crack," he said, "was the weather.

Moist people don't know that there is no organized weather service for ocean flying. We had to base our decision to hop off on reports of only a very few. ships. Since a storm covers an area of thousands of square miles, it is pretty hard to tell just when it is safe to go unless there are a lot of radio details from ships scattered all over the ocean." Although they were in the air 20 hours it "seemed more like two" to Gordon. "I like it," he said, "but.

I doubt whether anything approaching regular service will begin for five or ten years. In the meantime I expect to go on with commercial aviation because I think this is the biggest and most important business in the country today."

Wilmer Stultz, pilot of her plane, "Friendship," and Lou Gordon, the mechanic and third member of the venture, also gave the radol audience their impressions of an ocean flight. Here are Miss Ear hart's impressions of the flight as she imparted them to her audience: "The engines keep roaring and one man sits up at the controls with a set look on his face and the lives of those with him resting on his shoulders. After, a while It gets dark and an occasional hand flashlight or the blue flame of the exhaust is the only thing that breaks the darkness. Imagine Couldn't Talk "Somehow the dark hours did not seem long.

It was all like a dream. There was nothing we could do. We couldn't talk on account of the roaring of the engines. The excitement kept us from being hungry, though we had a few ham sandwiches and a bottle of coffee. I know I at only two sandwiches, during the whole trip.

The "modernists," as represented by the Oakland Motor Car company, thought they had something new and smart in the way of an automobile advertising novelty when they marked the introduction of the Pontlac Six by striking a medal.

It bore a likeness of Pontlac, famous Ottawa chieftain, and was inscribed "Pontlac, Chief of the Sixes." But just a few days ago a laborer excavating near the Oakland Six plant unearthed a medal of almost identical size and bearing another conception of Chief Pontiac's features. On its obverse side was the inscription, "Pontlac Buggy Pontlac, Mich. Western Amesbury Line." Investigation revealed the medal was struck in 1896 to celebrate the introduction of the "Western Amesbury" line of buggies which the reverse side of the medal asserts "are worth 100 cents on the dollar in gold." v. Thus the Pontlac Buggy company, which later evolved into the Oakland Motor Car company, appears to have bea(en Oakland to the idea by a margin of about 32 years. The Russell Motor Car company, Wyoming avenue at Vine street, is the local Oakland agent.
