The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1897-04-30
Uncle Sans Business in Owosso.

Charles Lawrence, agent of the United
States government in the postoffice business
in Owosso, has made for us summary of
the business done by him and under his di.
rectioD at the Owosso Office during the past
year, and it furnishes food for considerable
study when one thinks that every stamp,
postal card or envelope sold must in the
end be handled singly a number of times
here and on its way to its destination, and
must be handled with that almost positive
accuracy for which the department is noted,
more accurate in fact than the work of our
great financial institutions.
The number of one cent stamps sold was
$1,000; the number of two cent stamps 1885,
7OS; three cent 1888; four cent Lao; five
cent 1,911; six cent 1927; eight cent 71o;
ten cent 1888; special delivery 643; news
paper stamps 1929; postage-due stamps
2,976; one cent postal cards "a, 1879; two
cent postal cards 24s; stamped envelopes
372, $50; total number of pieces of all kinds
1,043, $50; number of registered letters pass
les made 4s5; domestic money orders sold
1877, amounting to $31 1906 81; money ord
ers paid 5,213, amounting to $33, $40. 49,;
total of money order business $65, 1866. 40.
The gross receipts of the Office outside of
money orders were $l7,197.29. The cost of
running the Owosso Office is about $40, 600,
leaving profit to the government of about
81. 600.
The number of mails received is 90 on six
days and two on Sunday. There are 81
mails sent out each day, excepting Sunday.
Mailing clerk II. p. White is one of the bust
est officials In the Office and has handled as
high as $4,000 pieces of outgoing mail in a
day-with such accuracy that he has be-
come known as one of the best mailing clerks
In the state.
The Office Is In most excellent condition
and the first years work of Mr. Lawrence
will take high rank In the history of the
Office. The Office Is conducted in way tc
please the people and 1t is appreciated.
To facilitate the work of the Office and to
relieve Postmaster Lawrence, who frequent
ly puts In Is hours daily at the office, the
postoffice department on Friday last, at the
request of Senator Mcmillan, issued an or
der for the appointment of an additional
clerk at a salary of $500 per year. Bruce
Bartlett, who was employed in the Office fol
several years, has been given the position
and will begin work tomorrow.

"The Farmers Friend"

When Hunt came to OwoSSo
there was only one price for
butter. A woman who took
extra pains and made nice
butter was obliged to sell it
for the same price as some
other woman received who
made poor butter. Now things
have changed and the woman
who makes extra fancy butter
will get an extra price for it
at his store.
Now another thing. = His
customers can come to town
and take their butter and eggs
into his store with the aSSur-
ance that he will always take
it and pay the very highest
market price. They don't have
to run all around town to
other stores to see what it is
worth. Nine out of ten of
the good butter makers of the
county sell their butter to him.

RAIL POOL REVIVED.
The Territory Divided Among tIss
Big Concerns.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 10.-A
meeting of the representatives of near
ly all the steel companies in the United
States was held today in New York
city at which the harmonizi1g of their
interests and the division oS territory
are said to have been the chief sub
ject of discussion. Among those pres
ent were Presidents Stackhouse, of the
Cambria Iron company; Linderman, of
the Bethlehem Iron company; Felton,
of the Pennsylvania & Maryland Steel
company and Secretary Kennedy, of
the Bessemer Steel company. None of
those from this city who were present
at the meeting would discuss the mat
ter, but it was stated, on what is con-
sidered reliable authority that the two
above mentioned subjects were dis
cussed and decided upon. In relation
to the division of territory, it is believ-
ed that the district east of the Allie
ghenies was given to the Pennsylvania
& Maryland Steel company, the Lack
awanna company and the Bethlehem
Iron company. 1t lis also said that I'M
der the new arrangement many feat
ureS of the old steel rail pool are In
corporated. Another important ques-
ton said to have been settled was that
of a percentage allotment to each Of
the companies with penalty for in
fraction thereof -t,

LAST LUETGERT JUROR.
Twelve Men to Try the Chicago

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-The last man Of

chances are that the jury is complete
The twelfth man is Harry Reed, a
maker of telephone instruments. He
has beeen accepted by the state and
examined, although not actually ac-
copied by the defense.
For the first time since the incar-
ceration, Luetgert gave way to his
emotions last evening and wept. When
court had adjourned the prisoner
fingered to talk with his children, Louis
and Elmer. who had been brought to
the court room by Mrs. William
Charles. Little Elmer was standing On
a table, his arms clasped about his
fathers neck, when he said: Papa,
why don't you come home any more
You promised to come long Whlie ago,
but you just stay in this old place ana
never come as you said you would;
81 will come, child" answered the
man. turning away to hide the suspic-
ion of moisture in his eyes; but his
voice was unsteady and he was strug-
Cling to control himself when Louis
kissed him goodbye.
81 want you to come now, Papa" per-
sisted little Elmer. why don't you
come now?
II can't, child" was the answer, and
then. putting the boy down, he turned
away as though trying to get out OF
the room before his emotions overcome
him. But the tears were not to be re-
strained and his cheeks were wet be-
fore he could step across to the door
leading to the jail passage, while his
huge frame shook with emotion as he
walked away.

STANDS BY THE TREATY,
senator Davis ut Present Has No
Idea of Abandoning It,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The dele
cation of Hawaiian natives who are
here in opposition to the annexation
treaty called upon several senator's at
the capitol today to urge their views.
They have attempted no canvass of the
senate, but say they have received con-
siderable encouragement. Senator
Davis, chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, declines to divulge his
plans, but his friends in the senate say
that he will be governed in his action
largely by circumstances and that he
expects to get the treaty up within the
next ten days. He now has no purpose
of abandoning the plan of considering
the treaty as such and attempting to
secure the same result by legislation
The delegation of Hawaiians called
at the state department today and were
admitted to an interview with Secre-
tary Sherman. There were four in the
party, Hon. James Kauli, president of
the Hawaiian Patriotic league; Jose
Hekeluhe, K. c., secretary and general
of LiliuOkalani and commissioner of the
league; Hon. David Kalanokalina,
president Of the Hawaiian Association
Hui Kalaiana, and William Aud, sec
rotary and commissioner of the Ha-
Waiian association. The interview last
ed only few minutes. They presented
the secretary a memorial represented
to be in behalf of 10000 native Hawaii
ans, protesting against annexation, or
at least soliciting a secret plebiscite of
the Hawaiian population before such a
course was determined upon by the
United States.

PACIFIC SALE PosTPoNEMENT.
Steps Looking to 1t Taken by the
Attorney General.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Attorney
ing to the postponement of the sale of
the Kansas Pacific road. As soon as
he received a copy Of Yesterdays senate
resolution ne telegraphed it's substance
to Special Counsel ex-Gov Hoadley, at
New York, with a request that he
prepare at once motion asking for a
postpOnement for sixty days or until
about Feb. Is. The attorney general
also telegraphed the president synop
sis of the resolution. Up to noon today
Mr.. McKenna had heard nothing of the
reported decision of the reorganization
committee, as stated by a New York
newspaper, to offer the government
guarantee bid of $6,303, 900. the amount
Of the principal Of the governments
claim, nor would the attorney general
say, in speaking Of the matter today,
what would be done in case such an
offer was made before the motion for
a postponement was filed. There is
no reasonable doubt that this offer, If
it had been made prior to the adoption
of the senate resolution, would have
been accepted. 1t may be. it is said,
that the president would consider him
self bound in courtesy to the senate to
ask for postponement irrespective Of
any 0fter that might now be made, as
it seems probable he might ascertain
the views of the leaders in congress
upon the acceptance of a bid of Sc, 303,-
600, should it be made, and act accord
ingly.
The attorney general today expressed
no doubt that a postponement would be
granted by the court upon the showing
the government would be able to make.
In addition to the very potent reason
that the senate, representing the people
of the whole country. had requested
this action, there was another, he said,
of little less Importance. Other respon-
sible parties, outside of the reorganiza-
ton committee, were just now taking
an interest in the Kansas Pacific road
with view, no doubt, to becoming
bidders if their Investigations warrant
ed such a step. Who these parties were
the attorney general was not at liberty
to state, but, allthings considered, he
thought the reasons for a postpone
ment were ample. In the meantime the
preparations for presenting the ques-
ton to the court should the reor-
ganization committee, who are under
stood to be the owners of large share
of the first mortgage bonds, object to
the delay, will be proceeded with. Ex-
Gov. Hoadley was requested by the
attorney general to confer with the
committee today on this point, and re-
port to him any conclusions reached.

GAGE CURRENCY PLAN.
Several Special BILLS May BE Pre-
pared by the Secretary.

pared by the secretary.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 10.-It was
stated in reliable quarters about the
house of representatives today that
Secretary Gage had made his purpose
known not to embody his financial
views in one comprehensive bill, but
to cover special subjects in number
of special bills, some Of which would
go before the house committee on
banking and currency and others be-
fore the committee on ways and means.
The banking and currency committee
formally invited the secretary to pre-
sent bill covering all the phases of
financial reform suggested in his re-
cent recommendation to congress, and
the desire of members of the commit
tee was to treat the subject as an en-
tirety. For that reason there was con-
siderable comment when 1t was stated
that Mr. Gage would divide the sub
ject into several bills, some of which
would go before the ways and means
committed 1t was this last feature
which occasoned the liveliest comment,
owing to the sharp contest between
the ways and means committee and
the banking and currency committee.

signed to bring about currency reform.
This feeling found expression on the
floor of the house the second day OF
the session, and after a spirited ex-
change between Mr.. Dingley and MIR.
Walker, the chairmen of the two COM
mittees, the matter was compromised.
The Walker committee felt that it had
carried the day and at its initial meet
