Reviews Measures Adopted or Contemplated—What Is Being Done With $600,000 Emergency Appropriation—Bettering Railway, Mail and Parcel Service. Washington.—Many improvements in the postal service have been made since Postmaster General Burleson took hold, succeeding Mr. Hitchcock. In a recent statement issued from the postmaster general's office the conditions as they were found when he took hold are reviewed, and plans to meet the emergency, which confronts the service are outlined. Among the improvements which have tended to increase the efficiency of the service is the addition of about 1,000 clerks and 500 letter carriers at various offices throughout the country. Approximately $1,000,000 has been authorized for temporary clerk hire and $500,000 for city letter carriers. Such unusual financial demands made it necessary for the postmaster general to go to congress early in May for an emergency appropriation. The sum of $000,000 was granted and an additional $300,000 was appropriated for temporary clerk hire and a like amount for temporary carriers. Mr. Burleson points out that on March 5 there were 2,200 vacant post-masterships of presidential grade and some 300 have become vacant since. There were 4,500 fourth class post-masterships vacant on March 5. These vacancies are being rapidly filled as the result of civil service examinations. Mr. Burleson's statement continues: "Within the last sixty days 488 positions for rural delivery routes have been disposed of, resulting in the establishment of 203 routes, involving an annual expenditure for maintenance of approximately $190,000. By the establishment of these new routes and the extension of old routes more than 1930 Photo © by American Press Association. POSTMASTER GENERAL BURLESON. 200,000 people are now receiving their mail at their doors instead of at remote post offices. "In pursuance of the policy of expediting the delivery of mail the postmaster general has ordered the discontinuance of the back stamping of all ordinary mail which heretofore has delayed its delivery anywhere from twenty minutes to one-half hour. An investigation of the conditions shows that the slight benefits from back stamping were far outweighed by the advantages that would be gained to the public by its discontinuance and i prompt forward step by t ment. "The parcel post regular, been modified so as to peri livery to the addresssee, w ithitional charge, of matter re office of address with impro ti affixed. "By an arrangement made canadian postal service th e newspapers mailed to subscribers in Canada, who also are subscribers to the week day editions, has been fixed at 1 cent a pound or fraction thereof instead of at 1 cent for four ounces or fraction, as formerly. "Many of the changes which Postmaster General Burleson has put into effect have to do largely with the internal workings of the department, but their effect will be felt throughout the entire service. "A number of experienced officers of the department are now employed in the field studying conditions with a view to recommending remedies wherever defects in methods may be discoveres. "It is Postmaster General Burleson's desire and earnest endeavor to establish in the interest of economy and efficiency uniform methods and practices throughout the entire service and to direct postmasters to the best way of administering the postal facilities." STREET STREWN WITH BILLS. Thought to Be Robber's Plunder by Government Officials. Leavenworth, Kan.—Three postoffice inspectors have begun an investigation of the finding of hundreds of dollars in gold certificates believed to be a portion of $50,000 stolen by Charles Savage from a mall truck in the Union station in Kansas City five years ago. Developments show that persons have been finding the certificates, mostly of the $20 denomination, for a month and have kept the matter secret. It is estimated that at least $1,000 has been picked up in gutters, vacant lots and back yards. All the money was discovered within a radius of eight blocks of the home of a relative of Charles Savage at whose house he stopped before his arrest. One theory of the investigators is that the money was concealed in a tree and dislodged by recent high winds. SCATTER ASHES OF POET. Destined Por Flames, Wind Claims Remains of Joaquin Miller. Oakland, Cal.-The ashes of Joaquin Miller, "the poet of the Sierras," were scattered among the flames of a funeral pyre built by the poet's own hands. The ceremony was held at the Miller home, the Heights, in the picturesque hills near Oakland. The Bohemian club of San Francisco had charge of the rites, which were witnessed by more than 500 persons, including the poet's widow and daughter, Juanita, and many old time friends. The services, short and impressive, were in accordance with Miller's dying wishes. At their conclusion Colonel John P. Irish of Oakland mounted the steps of the pyre. "This," said Colonel Irish, "is not an occasion for mourning, but for rejoicing. We are here not to mourn the death of Joquin Miller, but to rejoice that through his genius he still lives." Colonel Irish then applied a torch to the oil soaked fagots on the pyre. As the flames shot up he took the copper urn containing the poet's ashes and gave them to the fire. Instantly a fealous wind whipped the ashes from the flames and bore them away. Woman to Manage Her Own Mine. Deadwood, S. D.—Backed by capital enough to develop on a good sized scale, Miss Elizabeth Marks of Rapid City has purchased the controlling interest in the Black Tom gold mine known as the best producer in the Slate Creek district, and is preparing to do extensive work this summer. She will assume the active management of the property.

AWTHORNE AIDS FELLOW CONVICTS LIKENS MEN TO GREAT BOOKS New Humanity Urged by "Regieter 4435" In the Atlanta Federal Prison. Calls Follow Criminals "Brothore" In His Latest Editorial--Refuses to See Callers at the Prison. Atlanta, Ga.—A new philosophy, full of humanity and understanding, has been born to Julian Hawthorne, son of the great novelist, since he became "register 4435." an innate of the federal penitentiary here. The deepest human element appears in everything he has written for Good Words, the prison paper, and is creating for that journal a unique literary interest. The son of Nathaniel Hawthorne has turned "minister to the heart and conscience" of his fellow convicts. More than in anything else is this new found sentiment set forth in his prison poem, "Fool False," written to the men who night after night trump ceaselessly back and forth in their eight foot cells. He has come to understand the power that drives them. "Brother, I know," is the refrain of the poem. A recent issue of the paper contains the beginning of a new department of which he will be conductor. He writes of books, prescribing a model course of reading made up of the choiceest literature of all countries and of all time. Reverence for his father is implied in his selection of two books of Nathaniel Hawthorne's, "The Scarlet Letter" and "Our Old Home." But along with his essay on literature he wrote of another subject which has become more interesting to him, he says, since he became an inmate of the prison. "There is another and a greater library," he said in his column. "It is distributed among the ranks in palms, with a shelf to each volume. Their binding is homogeneous—stout blue cloth on ordinary occasions, which on ```markdown ``` Sundays and holidays changes to a woolen fabric of darker hue. They bear titles on the front and back. "There is a sprinkling of the poetical element and a good deal of fiction, but each carries a historical and biographical index often illegible—stories of crime mingled with tragedies, or you find a farce or a comedy. "Moreover, these volumes grow, decay and die; chapters are added from time to time, but the tale seldom ends happily. These are the books that God made—not always much to look at, but containing a great deal of human interest if you can get beneath the cov- JULY 1913. ers." Hawthorne has shaken hands with "Dutchman, Dargo, Yankee, Greek," to use the words of his great prison poem, and he calls them brothers in everything he writes. With his fellow prisoners Hawthorne is all affability, but when visitors come he is ill and sees no one. His request made to Warden Moyer was that he be not known as Julian Hawthorne, the son of the great novelist and Himself a prominent literary man, but merely as "register 4415." A reporter, presenting in writing a request for an interview, received from Hawthorne the following answer: "I must ask you to excuse me. Here I am, as you know, not a name, but a number. If anything I have written for Good Words has done good or has caused interest I am glad, but have nothing to say about it." The new Hawthorne who "knows," the minister to the conscience, is revealed in one paragraph which he wrote for Good Words. "Instead of feeding upon angry and revengeful thoughts," he said, "which corrode the heart that generates them, use the occasion to extirpate sinister tendencies and to invite impulses of generosity and good will. Look upon your prison term as an opportunity to repent of the evil in you that men know not of." In an editorial which he wrote for the paper is implied a justification of his own act which brought about his conviction. FINDS WATCH LOST THIRTY-FIVE YEARS Timepiece Again Running After Having Been Buried. Menomonie, Wis.—Thirty-five years ago this spring Register of Deeds Alfred Halverson of St. Croix county, then a young man, became the possessor of his first watch, an open faced silver watch, with a heavy case. Young Halverson valued his new possession so highly that he carried it with him at all times, even when he was plowing on his uncle's farm. He was heartbroken after plowing a few furrows one morning to find that the watch had slipped from his pocket and had been plowed under. With his cousin, Edward Halverson, he back plowed the furrows, cross plowed them and then combed the earth for hours in search of the precious timepiece, but in vain. Recently while plowing on the Star Prairie farm, Edward Halverson saw the plow turn something metallic out of the ground. He stopped and picked it up and found it was a silver watch. He at once thought of the one his cousin had lost thirty-five years ago, and although the fields had been changed, he discovered this was where he had helped look for the watch years ago. The thick crystal was broken, and the hinges were rusted, but he returned the old timepiece to its owner, and a jeweler to whom it was taken for repairs discovered that the works were free from dirt and rust and the adjustment still perfect. A little oil, a new pair of blinges, a new crystal, and the watch when wound started to run as though it had merely run down the night before TRIES TO KISS THE JUDGE. Mexican Woman Seeks to Embraco California Magistrate. Los Angeles. - When Mrs. Ricardo Rivera, a Mexican woman, offered to kiss Superior Judge Monroe in gratitude for a gift of $2, which brought her and her husband together again, the magistrate blushed and directed an official to lead her from the court-room. The husband was up on a charge of failure to provide. He promised to be good, and the court discharged him. Rivera informed the magistrate that he did not have sufficient funds to take his wife with him back to his job at Ontario, whereupon Judge Monroe banded him $2. Fa'sse prophets are met ex w ere. NO.18 CLIMAX REACHED BY SUFFRAGETTES At First the Campaign Was Regarded as a Mere Joke, but When It Came to Destroying Life and Property It Was Another Matter For Officials to Cope With—Many Serious Outrages. London.—A retrospective review of the performances of the brilliant suffragettes of England—the "wild women," the "bashi bazoukesses," the "brawler squads," as they have been variously called—is startling for the pyramid of offenses, crazy and grave, which they have perpetrated with the idea of securing the vote—an orgy of arson, assault, riot, mischief, self imprisonment, immolation and suffering. The public that first looked upon the "wild women" with admiration H. C. EMMELINE PANSHUHT AND DAUGHTER, CHRISTABEL. have now been incensed against the women as the women have been against the government and its officials. The "hobbies," who used merely to good naturely "hustle" women about when they came yelling and shrieking in their sieges of parliament, do not hesitate now to ride them down and trample them, to wrench their arms and wrists and even to club them. Despite all, however, they continue to march and burn and rant and riot with delirious wavings of their banners that announce, "No Votes, No Peace!" Here is a summary of the acts of violence by the suffragettes up to the seizure by the Davison woman of King George's entry while running in the Derby: Rioting—Eight years' siege of the house of parliament, fighting the police with tooth and nail, with breechbits and bursting beacons of stifling acrid whip and roar, peering through with tires Concluded on Second Page. ——S—S—S—S———_—_— Qe INDEPENDENT WAEEELY NEWSPAPEK DEVOTRD TO THB MORAL, RELIGIOUS AND Foraso1a, ORVSLOPMENT OF HUMAN- rrr.

Mr. Henry Ford, our good friend from Darkaville, and a man admired by everybody who knows him, was a Martinsburg visitor on Tuesday. He locked the picture of health, and was in his usual good numor. Mrs. Ella James is making many improvements to her Raleigh Street property, and is to be commended for holding on to same, because, in future, it is going to be more valuable than it now is. Mr. Samuel Rector, who works at the National Limestone Quarry, bad his left arm injured by a spawl on Friday morning. While his arm is right sore, unless complications arise, it will soon be well again. Mrs. C. C. Brooks, of Front Royal, Va., wife of Mr. Andrew M. Brooks, who is employed in our city, was a recent visitor to her husband. During her short stay, she met many people here, who were very much pleased at meeting and greeting her, After an absence of about a month in Philadelphia, Mr. Ernest Gaither has returned to the home of Mrs. James Roman, his sister. He likes Philadelphia alright, but during the scorching weather now sweeping over the country, Martinaburg is good enough for him. Theodore Roper, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Roper, of Kearneysville, was brought home a corpse from Cleveland, Ohio, on Wednesday morning. Being a young man of muob promise, his sudden taking off comes as a great shock to his devoted parents, and they have our sympathy in their sadness. RELICS IN OLD INDIAN GRAVE Oregon Workmen Uncover Interesting Mementoes of Hudson Bay Company. Oregon City, Ore.—While digging a drain ditch on the west bank of the Willamette river about a mile south of Oregon City workmen uncovered an old Indian grave. In the grave, which from its position is known to be at least 100 years old, were found an old bear trap and a flint lock rifle, both of which bore the mark of the Hudson Bay company. The bear trap is in a good state of preservation, but the rifle has been rusted into three pieces. Besides the rifle and trap there also were found fifty feet of glass and copper beads and a stone tomahawk. Are You a Woman? Take Cardui The Woman's Tonic FOR SALE AT ALL DRUGGISTS hives, C. BY W.

"Can't give you fried eggs, boss," the Negro waiter informed him, "lessen you wait till we stop." "Why, how is that?" "Well de cook says de road's so rough dat every time he tries to fry aigs de scrambles." WHY HE WAS HAPPY. Dr. S. S. Schmucker, walking out one day, met an old man singing. "Father Miller," said the doctor, "why should an old man like your self be so cheerful? Are all old men happy like you?" "By no means," answered Father Miller. "I am happy because I belong to the Lord, while many old men still belong to the devil." EMPTY. An American, going to Europe, lugged with him a high hat box. He toted it to London, to Paris, and thence to Berlin and Vienna without opening it. But in Vienna he needed the hat. He dressed elaborately, and opened the box for the first time for his hat. Alae! the box was empty—he had forgotten to put in the hat. It is said of the Kaiser, that when he finds a vacant place in Berlin, he builds a statue on it, and when the Kaiserin finds a vacant spot, she builds a church on it. One day as the Kaiserin was passing through the streets of Berlin, and the people stood at attention with their bats removed, a young Berliner said to an old one: "My friend! you had better put on your hat and over that bare spot or the Kaiserin will build a church on it." SEEKING KIDD'S TREASURE. Inspiration From Fortune Teller Leads Rivers In Quest. Oregon City, Ore.-Declaring that he has received an inspiration from a gypsy fortune teller which will lead him to discover the famous treasure of Captain Kidd, which has been sought for centuries, I. W. Rivers, a prominent Williamette rancher, will start from this city in about two weeks for the Oregon coast. Rivers states that several years ago while he and his wife were visiting at The Oaks they consulted a fortune teller, who told them that they would discover the treasure. She stated that it would be found in a cave in a rock which is a prominent feature of the coast scenery near Nestucca beach. Last year Rivers and his wife went to the beach and found the cave, which is marked by a cross and a horse shoe. Inside the cave, according to the fortune teller, they were to find the fortune at the end of a log. The log was found by Rivers, but he dug at the wrong end of it and so did not get the fortune. This, according to the fortune teller, is just as he would do, for she said he would have to make two trips before he would get the fortune. He is now trying to get capital to finance the scheme.
