LEGAL BATTLE
NEARS THE END
Postal Investigators Recommend
That Government Compromise
Suit Brought by Lewis.
Washington, D. C.. Nov. 19.—
The postal investigating com
mittee have recommended that
tlie government settle the suit of
E. (i. Lewis against the govern
ment for $6,000,000 damages for
a smaller sum.
This suit has been a long
fought legal battle between the
officials of the PostofTice depart
in"nl and the president of the St.
f.nuis publishing house, and also
president nf the Peoples United
States bank, which was rinsed in
1005 ;il tin* time that Secretary
('ortelynu was postmaster gen
eral.
The affairs nf tin* bank were
set led 111» by the post office in
spectnrs and I In- Lewis Publish
ing cmnpany was wrecked by the
refusal nf the department In al
low the papers In go through the
mail. Damages were asked in
the sum of $6,000,000. and as a
result of the lnng fought legal
battle the postal authorifies have
recomemnded that a lesser sum
be paid and the suit dismissed.
Lewis was indicted twelve dif
ferent times for violation of the
postal and banking laws and all
the indictments were dismissed
by the povorinenl"or decided in
Lewis' favor but one. This in
dictment was quashed by the fed
eral court, but later he was re
indicted and tried and I In* result
of the trial was a hung jury. The
charge still hangs over his head.
;is it has never been dismissed.
Lewis organizej the Woman's
National Weekly after the postal
authorities refused the mall to
his other paper, and he has nev
er been molested since that time.
