OUR LETTER BOX.

To Ny Old Friends in Birmingham.
Some of you may perhaps remember
my paper THE Application of the Postal
Principle to Railway Traffic" which APP
peared in the Birmingham Age-Herald
in May, 1891. / have continued my STUDY
of the railroad problem for the last fVe
years and the results of my investiga-
tions are now embodied in a little mono
graph just published by Geo. p. Putnams
Sons entitled, "A General Freight and
Passenger Post" Sir Rowland Hill, the
father of the modern postoffice, published
his Penny Post" pamphlet in the spring
of 1897; in January, 1910 his scheme of
"penny post" was English law and was
in due course of application. Mr.. Hill
proposed at one sweep, to reduce the av-
erage inland postage of Great Britain
from 20 cents to cents and to make the
the same as from London to the nearest
village. l propose to reduce the way
railway fares of this country to a uni
form rate of cents per trip and to bring
down the highest fare for the longest
trip by ordinary cars on the fastest ex-
press trains to not over 81. Box car
freight is to be not over 81 ton between
any two stations in the United States
and open car freight may be reduced to
25 cents a ton per haul. Railway rates,
in short, are to be determined by the
cost of the service rendered.
Radical as my scheme may appear, 1t Is
far less radical than was the postal
scheme proposed by Mr.. Hill, while it has
infinitely grander possibilities for our
common humanity. Our railroad mana
gers admit that my theory is correct and
they are now giving 1t wide application
in their through business. l but ask that
what is now a rapidly growing railway
custom shall be made a common law
and shall be enforced by due legislation.
| hope that the year 1900 may see my
scheme adopted by congress and in full
course of operation in this country. The
state of Alabama may, however, take
up my scheme this very winter and re-
quire each of it's railway corporations
to apply the cost of the service principle
to the determination of rates between all
of its stations within the jurisdiction of
the state My little book is surely worth
your most earnest study and its price
only 70 cents-brings it within the means
of all your citizens
The adoption of my plan will add i'm
mensely to the value of every farm, ev-
cry mine and every factory in Alabama.
1t will increase the demand for labor
and will decrease the cost both of pro-
duction and of distribution.
With my best wishes, / remain sin
cerely yours,

land law, under which the recent action
for receiver for the Santa Fe was
brought, was never passed by the Kansas

statute was an erorr.
Attorney General Dawes, of Kansas,
does not consider the appointment of a
receiver for the Santa Fe we'll founded
in law, and Is not in sympathy with its
prosecution.
When questioned today, he said: 81

my own satisfaction. If after Investigate

prosecute 1t. But If l find the law Is not

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, June 5.-The de-

was fhe grandest ovation ever given a Yale
athletic team. The procession, headed by

body. Next came the crew In CARRIAGES.
and then the sophomores and freshmen.
There were fully $500 students in line and
as many more friends of the students
bringing up the rear, all marching locked
arm in arm fifteen to twenty abreast When
the band struck up popular Yale airs pam
demonium regned. Cheering, singing and
the familiar Yale cheers were continuous
from the start to the finish. The crowds
that thronged the streets with horns and
other racket-making instruments added to
the din. The crew had difficulty in reach
ing their special car. so dense was the surg
ing crowd of eager students anxious for the
last goodbye grip, but after getting aboard
they. came out to the rear platform. and.
amid deafening cheers and ''Auld Lang
Syne" by the band, the train pulled out of
the station. The crew will sail from New
y oriS tomorrow morning.
1t was announced late this afternoon by
the faculty that George II. Marsh. of Lam
