Unsatisfactory Mail Service.

To the Editor of the Register.
SIR:-The extension of the free de-
livery system to the suburbs and rural
sections was fully discussed and its
merits disclosed in Congress a year
ago. from experimental trials had in
several rural districts. Now that it is
going to be put in operation in this vi
entity the unsatisfactory delivery OF
mails in Wheeling east of Market street
after 1:30 O'Clock of the afternoon, nat
urally occurs to residents of that sec
ton. All mail received after that hour.
or, in fact, some time before. is held
over at the post Office and not delivered
till next morning, thus delaying de-
livery some seventeen or nineteen
hours. The face that the afternoon in
coming mails may be gotten at the post
Office between 6 and s .. m. seems. per-
haps, partially satisfactory to e res
idents, but not SO to the majority OF
eastern residents. This defect, ii seems
could be easily cured. and probably
would be remedied, if proper attention
was called thereto by the Congressman,
or an explanatory memorial presented
to the Postmaster General, whose poll
cy has been to expedite mail service.
In some cities. 1T is said, similar nee
essary improvements of the mail SER
vice have been brought about by the
energetic intervention of the local
postmaster. Whether such a course is
feasible here depends upon the fact OF
directing appropriate application on the
part of the Wheeling Postmaster to the
Post Office Department. and. II he has
not done so, thus far. his attention be-
ing called hereto, might induce him TO
take such action as may be productive
of the desirable change in local deliy-
cry.

Are They Guilty Of Larceny.

Ts the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Listening to the stage whis-
pers and unguarded se~lf-vaunting
speeches of imprudent takers on the
local situation. it has been learned that
legal advice was given to prevent the
new officials from obtaining possession
OF the records and other necessary Of
fee appurtenanees. This advice may
have been only tentative-possibly. for
a bluff: but the continued Withholding,
the unlawful taking and carrying away
by persons relegated to private life. of
public documents, records or other
property, comes within the definition
of larceny.
Now. larceny, or theft, is a felony,
and all parties thereto are principals.
No ill-founded claim of right, even
under alleged, but partisan, legal coun-
sci, will alter the name, eriminality,
or character of the act. either by the
too rash advisers or the too willing
performers.
The diversion of public records from
the places of offices of which they are
a necessary part or equipment for per-
wYsping the duties thereof, by persons
priying n "rnmbents, and thus de-
from the possession elected officials
falls within the category or llIhereof,
priation of public property and -
criminally punishable at common law
as well as by statute in most States.
This is as it should be. The machin-
cry of the municipal government can
no more be clogged or obstrueted with
out penalty to the offenders than q
steam engine or its mechanical adj
juncts may be interfered with. with inn
punity. In the latter case malicious
mischief and trespass would lie, and IN
the former, conspiracy, trespass, lar
ceny and nuisance, because the general
public are annoyed by un~warranted
and selfish interference with the unlm-
peded administration of their local gov
eminent and hence the Distractions
diyerters or withholders of the eity's
property become guilty of committing
in addition to their acts of larceny and
so on, also of public nuisance, a clearly
indictable offense.
The policy of the newly elected OH
Gals appear, however, to be to avoid
all litigation as far as possible, but
the public's patience may weary and
make it incumbent upon the prosecut-
ing attorney to proceed for them
against the d%isturbers of the pubic
business, Instructors of the public
welfare. purloiners OF public records,
unlawful takers and carriers away OF
public documents, conspirators against
public peace and factional political
kickers against law and order.

Los Angeles came very fast, and just

BEST
STARS ONCE MORE

Once more the Honolulu Athletic
Club baseball men have taken the
Stars into camp with a goodly ma
jority, and that the crowd which de-
voted the afternoon to baseball rather
than to field sports at the park. en-
joyed itself, was testified by the
amusement which was afforded, ana
an athletic club crowd, too, for the
greatest part of the shouting was done
for the men in white and red.
The game was played out in center
of the race track, and much OF the
bad playing must be charged to the
fact that the ground was In very poor
condition The game was marred by
the encroaehment of the crowd of at
least two thousand people, which at
various times was about the field upon
the playing space. This was SO mark
ed that the people were within yard
of the base lines, while in the OUT
Z, field there was little chance for the
/ recovery OF any long hit without run
| ming into the crowd. the police ar
engagements We're positively bad, for as
! the deputy sheriff was one of the off,
Gals of the game, his subordinates
gave only sporadic thought to the
/ crowds. and then usually to do some
thing Unnecessary. Two or three mem
4 bers OF the committee having the
sports in charge were hustled literally
| while the chronic hanger-on was per-
mitted to enjoy a front and encToacn-
ing rank Being without badges the
men were not recognized by the police,
but rather as prize lighters, and the
conduct of one OF the number showed
that the guess might have been a good
one.
1t was smuggling match between the
teams, but the long hits were almost
always such by courtesy, owing to the
fact that the crowd was so close to the
fielders. Pryce was the hitting star,
with four to his credit, while NOVEL;,
l.Lewis, Bansmann and Aylett were al
ways reliable. Thompson and Wilder
Were the unfueky ones, for while they
would hit the ball it was not with
safety. The Athletics played a new
catcher, Lewis. who promises to be a
wonder. He caught Kaai with pre-
cision and threw to bases with some
certainty though he is plainly in need
of coaching.
Details of the game would be weari-
some. There We're four errors for the
Athletics, and twice as many for the
Stars. The Athletics began scoring
with a rush when Pryce, with a base
on balls, and Thompson's dropped fly
scored and paved the way FOR five of
his clubmen to follow on hits by the
rest of the team, and another error.
There We're scores whenever they were
needed, the seventh adding four on a
double, triple and two base hits.
/ The Stars made a rally in the eighth,
I-when with bases filed by two hits and
la base on balls, men were forced over
the plate by hits, Lishman double
clearing the bags. 1t was too late
though. for the ninth was only good FOR
three, one of which was decidedly of
color. The score:

TWO STEAMERS SEIZED.
JOHN BULL MAY INTERFERE IN
VENEXUEL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The state de-
partment was informed this afternoon
by cable from Venezuela that the Vene-
zuelan government had taken possession
of two steamers belonging to the Orinoco
Steamship company.
The seizure of the two steamers of
the Orinoco Steamship company was re-
ported in a cable dispatch from Minister
Loomis at Caracas, who says they have
been taken for the purpose of their be-
ing employed against the revolutionists.
The company, it appears, has both
English and American stockholders, an
American president and an English cha-
ter.
The state department became satisfied
on further inquiry that the Orinoco
Steamship and Trading company had q
British charter and flew the British flag
over it's ships, which appeared to make
the seizure one more properly to be dealt
with by the British authorities. 1t is
stated that the presence of American
stockholders In the case would call for
action by this government, although it
might warrant action sunder certain cir
cumstances. No instructions were sent
to Mr.. Loomis on the subject tonight, as
the information came too late in the day
to permit a thorough examination of the
points involved. : 1t appears to be the
accepted view that there is no warrant
of International law for the seizure of
merchant vessels of other govern
ments, although a government may i'm
press its own vessels in time of war or
revolution. The expectation. however, is
that the British government will assert
all it's rights in this particular. When
similar seizure of the British ship Ia
boga was made recently by the Colon1-
bian government the British warship
Pheasant was speedily dispatched to
compel the release of the Taboga.
