NEED MORE MONEY.
Clerk Hire for Third-Class P~ostoffices
is Recommended.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Robert j.
Wynne, first assistant postmaster gen.
eral, In his annual report to the post.
master general, recommends that con-
gress authorize clerk hire allowances
at all third-class postoffices. Only
first and second-class offices have this
allowance at present. and Mr.. Wynne
advocates an allowance for this pur'
pose of 800 wherever the postmas.
ter's salary is 81 900 or $1.100; OF 5000
where the postmaster gets l,200 or
1900; $500 where the postmaster
gets s1.40O or 81, 500; $500 where the
postmaster is salaried at 81, 600 or ST.,
700, and $500 where the salary Is from
81, 800 or 1900. This would make a
total appropriation for clerk hire al
lowances at third-class postoffices,
and for separating mails at third and
fourth-class postoffices. and for unus'
ual business, $4,000. 900.
Mr.. Wynne recommends a new
classification law for clerks In first
and second-class postoffices, creating
a number Of new positions and abol
ishing titles Of all clerks below the
grade OF foreman, simply designating
as clerks employees whose duties are
purely clerical. It is recommended
that the maximum allowance for fue
and light at third-class postoffices BIZ
increased from $50. as now fixed by
the law, to $50 per annum. A lumI
appropriation Of 500, 900. 900 is asked

SHEEP IN GREAT DANGER.
Hundreds May be Lost in Storm by
Bio Timber Owners.

Big Timber, Nov. 19.-As a result
of the severe cold and the deep snow,
there Is likely to be some losses OF
sheep recorded, said a well known
sheepman today. The storm came on
so sudden that stockmen were unpre'
pared for 1t and the sheep and cattle
had not all been gathered into the
winter pastures or range, and many
OF them are now roaming about
among the hills in snow Is inches to
two feet deep, and in some cases they
are wholly unattended. A report
reached here today that Veasy & Nc
donnell, a well known sheep firm OF
this section Of the state, had three
large bands of sheep out, with as
many different herders, when the
storm began a week ago. The snow
and extreme cold caused the sheep To
break and get away from the herders
and scatter over the hills. Up to last
night, only about one-third OF the
three bands Of several thousand head
had been found, and 1t Is feared that
a number of them have persisted from
cold and hunger or fallen victims To
coyotes, which are quite plentiful In
many localities. The snow Is so deep
that stock can get but little, If any,
feed from the range and in cases
where hay cannot be gotten to them
the sheep especially will suffer. Last
night was colder by three degrees
than Monday night, the mercury reg.
istering "a to % below zero at 9
o'clock this morning. The tempera
ture has now risen above zero and
there are indications of more snow.

SOCIALISM KNOCKED OUT.
American Federation Of Labor De

Boston. Nov. 19.-After a long de-
bate, chiefly noteworthy because OF
the bitter language of President Sam
uel Gompers in dealing with social
ism, the American Federation Of La
Dor today defeated resolutions pledg-
ing it to socialism.
Nine resolutions presented by So
~cialists and calling for the adoption
of their principles had been reported
upon un~favorably by the committee
on resolutions, and delegates repre-
senting a voting strength OF IL 1852
registered themselves in support OF
the committees recommendation,
while delegates with 2,1S5 votes were
cast in favor of the resolutions. The
Issue vas discussed all today as well
as part of Yesterday. All the leaders
of both sides engaged in the debate.
Just before the vote was taken this
afternoon considerable excitement
was caused by Delegate Carris' con.
demnation OF Vice President Duncan's
attack upon socialists.
The climax of the day came when
President Gompers. in bitter and un,
qualified language, scourged socialism
and what he claimed was an attempt
to induce the convention to adopt It's

Automatic Fire Kinder.

More unique and clever than any
of the latest inventions Is an auto.
matte fire kinder. the operation of
which is regulated by an ordinary
alarm clock. Says the Saturday Ey.
ening Post:
With this new contrlyance installed
In a house II Is necessary, upon retir.
ing, simply to assemble the fuel in
the stove or any fireplace, connect an
attachment to the clock, and set the
latter at any required hour. When
the alarm sounds a illuminate is ignit.
cd. which, communicating with an in.
flammable substance in the stove,
range. furnace or crate, Immediately
starts the fire. BY the time the
householder or servant is up the fire
is burning briskly, and the water IL
boiling.
II is claimed that these new devic.
es may be SO set that they will auto
matically start fires whenever wanted,
and thus have a home heated before
the occupants stir from their beds.
From the back of the clock used In
connection with the automatic fire
kinder extends a shaft. on which is
mounted a rotary friction disk or pull
ley, the periphery Of which is mllled
or designed to create friction wher
rotated in contact with a relatively
stationary member. BY the opera
ton of a pivotal arm. a lug and spring
and other attachments In connection
with the rotary disk, this entire exter,
nal mechanism Is set In motion wher
the alarm Is released.
Instantly a fuse. with an easily liz
nitible illuminate at its end and held
in place in a slot opening against the
friction wheel, Is set afre. The
fame. properly confined within the
metallic slot, travels oyer the lnnam
mable strand, which Is saturated will
a free burning ingredient. The clock
may be set on a nearby shelf or or
the back OF the stove or a furnace
projection. As wen a small and cheaT
alarm clock may be utilized, and al
the tube-incased fire strand may b,
safely controlled, that part OF the
problem is very simple. Moreover
any kind OF kindling substance may

Young Celestial Easily Leads His
Class In Atlantic School.
Among the first pupils of the high
school at Atlantic City is a gifted
young Chinaman whose family name
is famous through the world. He Is
a son of Minister WI, who helped
a v the Pekin legations In massacre
days. When the minister was recalled
to China he left his o and only
child, Chaochu, behind to receive an
American education.
When word came for his parents
return to China the youngster begged
to remain here and complete his edu'
cation. II vas a great sacrifice to
the fond parents, who idolize the boy
to leave him behind. The minister
however, was pleased with the lads
choice and accepted the offer of an
American family. who thought SC
highly of the young man that they
begged the honor of giving him Q
home under their roof. Thus 1t was
that young WI became a member OF
the family OF Mrs. Henry p. Rhein

During six years at the high schoo
in Atlantic City he has mastered Eng

is fond of music, has a good voice
and sings In church. He wears stylish

BOB LIGHTLY
REPRIMANED
Secretary Of War Thinks the Fighting
Admiral Was Too Strenuous
In His Remarks.
HE SHOULD BE DISCRIMINATE
Admiral Evans Had a Right to Elk
press Official Disapproval Of the
Court Martial.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Secretary
Moody today announced his decision
in the matter of the protest Of Pay
master II. L. Biscoe against the Ian
guage used by Rear Admiral Evans.
commandments of the Asiatic sta
ton.
After ruling that Rear Admiral Ey-
ans, as converting and reviewing au-
thority of the court martial in ques-
ton was within the limits of his au-
thority in criticising the finding of not
guilty upon the third charge and pro-
nouncing the sentence inadequate,
and in his criticism and animadver.
sion upon the court. Secretary Moody
says in conclusion:
1T is not TO be inferred from this
decision that although the power OF
censure by the reviewing authority Of
court martials Is clearly shown to ex
list by an unbroken practice for many
years, II should not be indiscriminate-
ly exercised. II is to be Kept in mind
that members of court martials must
be independent in their action and are
not subject to control. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that an occasion has arisen
which, in the judgment Of the review
ing authority, demanded so severe
censure as has been inflicted In this
case. Nevertheless, as members of
the courts must be judges OF the
measure of their duty, SO the review
ing authority must be a Judge of the
measure of his duty. While exercise
of the discretion of the reviewing au'
thority is uncomfortable, there is a
| clear remedy for an abuse of II. If II
should appear in any case that in the
exercise of his authority Of reviewing
the proceedings of the court martial
convened by him, the commonder-in-
chief had acted capriciously, cruelty,
with evident lack Of judgment, or
from improper methods, in short If he
had shown himself unfit to be entrust-
ed with authority which the law at
taches to his position the department
has power to withhold from him that
authority in the future by recalling
him from his station. II is, however,
considered that in this instance Rear
| Admiral Evans has not shown himself
unworthy of the continued confidence
of the department. On the contrary.
in view of the evidence before the
court, without weighing too nicely the
terms of censure, it is believed that
he was actuated by a high sense OF
duty and transpired by a regard for
the honor and welfare of the service.
Il am invited by the bureau of nayi-
cation to publish an order concern
ing the performance of the duties OF
court martials. 1t seems to me that
not a thing more impressive can be
said than to present the fact that the
bureau charged with the immediate
government and discipline of the per
sonnet of the navy has deliberately
presented to the department such re-
quest"
