new P@OSTOFFICE RULE
1T CAUSES DELAY IN THE DELIVERY
OF CITY MAIL.
when Letters Are Not Perfectly Id
dressed They Are Laid Aside I'm
til Directory Is Consulted.

For the past week or more it has been
noticed by persons receiving mail that the
delivery was considerably delayed. a num-
Der of complaints have been made on ac-
count of belated mail, and this fact aroused
curiosity, since the record of the Indianap-
oils postofice in delivering mail was above
the average. 1t is said one of the reasons
for this state of affairs is the establish
ment of a new rule in the past two weeks
which provides that the clerks on the city
delivery desks must not deliver a piece Of
mail unless the address is written in full.
Oftentimes a letter or package is brought
into the office bearing the name of the per-
son to whom it is sent, the number of the
house and the street. but whether east,
west, north or south is not indicated. If
the street is not indicated the mail. accord
ing TO the new rule, must be laid aside until
the crew handling the mail is off duty,
and then it is taken up and the men go to
the directory and search for the proper ad-
dress. Under the old rule it was said that
the men could TAKE such a piece of mail
and in two throws reach the right car
rier. Under the new rule a clerk is to take
no chances. no matter how late the mail
is sent out. The new rule has occasioned
a great deal of annoyance to the clerks,
il is said, and the men are required to re-
main three and four hours after their reg
ular working time TO hunt for addresses to
place on partially addressed mail. The rule
was put into effect when the mailing room
was removed from the old building over to
the annex. AS matters are now the city
clerks are away from the carriers, and no
communication can be had between the two
branches of the service. Under the old rule
both branches were in the same building,
and where mistakes were made on either
side the other branch could quickly right
them. In this way the matter of Dispatch
ing city mail was systematiZed, and each
delivery was made within a short time
after the arrival of the mail. Since the
new rule went into effect it is said great
plies of letters have accumulated which
cannot be delivered until their perfect ad-
dresses have been secured from the city
directory. Ii is said there is 10 be no dis
elimination in the handling of this kind
of mail. Business houses and private citf-
zens are to suffer alike if mail addressed TO
them is not sufficiently addressed.

The SIGMA Gill BANQUET
1T WILL BE HELD AT THE a
II FRIDAY EVENING.
George AIDE and John Il. M~cCutcheon
Will Be Present-EIabOrate
Arrangements.

Wearers of the blue and gold and the
white cross of Sigma Chi will meet next

if he is able to be about by that time, and
he hints that he will present a new modern
fable written specially for the occasion.

war correspondent at the battle of Manila
and who is AIDES lifelong friend, will ac-
company him and will have something to
say. Booth Harrington is taking great in
terest in the banquet and will be one of the
principal speakers.
In Indianapolis there are more than four
hundred Sigma CHS. and the members of
the fraternity stand in the forefront of
every profession. Many of the most dis
tinguished men of the city and State went
through college as "Sigs'' and cherish still
warm feelings for the fraternity. To the
committees in charge of the banquet they
have sent acceptances by the score, and a
number are down on the toast list for in
formal talks.
Augustus l.. Mason will be the toast
master. Some of the well-known Indian
apolitans who will be near him at the ban
quet board are Judge u. Il. Wiley, of the
Appellate Court; Judge i. j. Monks, of the
Supreme Court; Judge James NJ. Leathers

W. H. BRADBURY INJURED.
Knocked Down ny a Bicycle Ridden
by John ID. Sears.

w. H. Bradbury, living at the Iroquois
Hotel. was seriously injured yesterday at
Meridian and Washington streets by be-
ing knocked down by a bicyclist. He fell
heavily to the pavement and was rendered
unconscious. He was carried into Desch-
ler's cigar store and later removed to the
City Hospital. where he was revived after
working with him for about an hour.
John ID. Sears, the bicyclist, was taken to
police headquarters, but released after sew
eraI witnesses had said he was in no wise
10 plane. He was not riding fast, and the
accident occurred by reason of Bradbury's
confusion Such accidents may be avoided,
plcycllsts say, If pedestrians will pay but
passing attention TO those awheel, allowing
the wheelman to take care of himself. Most
collisions. it is said, result from persons
becoming confused and jumping backward
and forward so that the wheelman is also
conIused, not knowing which way to go.

JOHN HIGGINS IN TOWN.
The Former Councilman Much
Changed i'm Appearance.

Ex-Councilman John Higgins came to In
dianapolis yesterday from the Michigan
City Prison to attend the funeral of his
sister, Anna Higgins. whose death resulted,
it is thought, from worry over her tn
ability to secure a pardon for her brother.
He was accompanied by a prison guaro.
who turned Higgins over to the custody
of Patrolman Pansy. his brcther-in-law.
Few of his friends would now recognize
so great have been the changes IN
manner and appearance. He expects to be
paroled March l, and unless the parole
he will return with the guard 10 await there
the action of the board. He expressed his
thankfulnesS to Governor Durbin at being
allowed to come here TO attend the funeral
of his sister.

Then K. u. sent one man over the

and K. U. kept up an average of one
run an inning for eight innings The
crimson shirted fellows pounded Baxter

was no reason why the Jayhawkers
should not have had eight runs, though
there was much apparent bad luck with
Washburn.
