THE LIMIT OF THE LAW
FOR POSTAL OFFENDERS

for permission to fleece the public un-
molested.
/ heartily approve the recommended
ton Of Messrs Conrad and Bonaparte
that the statute Of limitations be ex-
tended in the case of Government ser
wants to a period Of at least five years,
for the persons who in such positions
Of trust engage in corrupt practices can
ordinarily conceal their guilt for
longer time than is covered by the
present short statute of limitations.
This recommendation has been laid be
fore the Congress in the report Of the
Attorney General. and it is earnestly
hoped that it will be acted upon favor
ably. Moreover. our experience shows
that outsiders claiming political influ-
ence sometimes sell their influence TO
candidates for Office. or in other words

Punish the Offenders.
However. the prime need is not new
legislation but the punishment OF those
who offend against existing laws. The
Postoffice Department is making certain
changes In the methods Of administra-
ton notably in the method Of inspec-
ton. by which the service will be i'm
proved and the chance Of corruption ex-
listing without discovery be minimized:
but the only way to meet the real evil
is to punish the Offenders. by removal
in any event, and where possible by
prosecution under the criminal statutes.

The way to guard against H. IS rigor-
ously to scrutinize the character Of

their actions after appointment. and

ity those who go wrong. All this is be-
ing done
The immediate reformation of the
service by the turning out OF the Of

the demands of justice. The case against

Postof1ce Department, who ~ their

with the utmost vigor Every effort
must be made to see that both the de-
linquent official and the outsider who
shares his guilt are punished TO the
limit Of the law. In pursuance OF this
policy the individuals above enumerated
have been indicted In no case has the
indictment been sought save where the
officials Of the Government were con-
WINGED Of the mans guilt: and in every
case the Government Will exhaust every
expedient in it's power in the effort to

MORE RACE GRATING.

Detectives Arrest Alleged Workers
in New York.
New York, Feb. 1S.-Detectives made
a raid on the office of Burns, Wallace &
Co., and Dan Smith" to-day and ar
rested David C. Barnum, a clerk, and
Ernest Matthews. The charge was a
suspicion of having committed lar
ceny. The two prisoners were arraign-
ed before police magistrate. and Bar
mum was discharged. Matthews was
held in 81, 800 bail for examination to-
morrow.
The detectives say the arrest was in
consequence of an advertisement which
appeared in a Sunday paper over the
names of the firm, in which it was an
nounced that number of prominent
horsemen had placed in their hands a
sum of $4,000 to be bet on a horse in a
race to be run to-day. The advertise
ment said that it had been decided to
allow a certain number of persons to
participate in the good thing" and
that sums of not more than $25 would
be accepted until the firm had received
$2.500 in addition to the $1,000.
The detectives say the advertisement
was signed Frank Kelly" and that
they waited in the posI0fiice building
and saw Barnum go to a box and take
out some mail addressed to Frank Kel-
ly. They allege that Frank Kelly is a
name used by persons who operate un-
der the name of Dan Smith and Burns

WAYCR0SS WILL HAVE
THE BIG CAR WORKS.
Public Spirited Citizens Came to
the Front.

the Front.
Waycross. Ga. Feb. 1S.-That a car
manufacturing plant will be construct
ed in Waycross is now an assured fact.
A meeting of citizens was held at the
opera house yesterday afternoon. and
their action makes certain the plant in
Waycross. About $4,000 additional
subscriptions were needed to make up
the sum required, and Judge j. L.
Sweat, chairman of the convention.
asked that ten business men assume
the responsibility and guarantee this
sum to the company. With little dit1-
Guilty the ten volunteers were secured,
and the chairman then announced that
the car factory was assured. Those who
volunteered to secure the payment of
$4,000 additional were George Dole
Wadley, L. Johnson, George r. You
mans, A. Seasons, J. 5. Bailey, War
rem Lott, John NJ. Cox, w. A. Price,
f. H. MCGEE and b. H. Williams.
These gentlemen had already subscrib-
ed for large part of the stock.
The committee appointed to select a
site for the factory suggested that a
siXteen-acre tract situated between the
Brunswick and Western and Atlantic
and Birmingham railroads be pur-
chased. This land lies north of Albany
avenue, and is owned by Capt. L.
Johnson and Mr.. j. S. Bailey. The
price to be paid for it is $4,000. The
convention accepted the report of the
committee, and ordered that this land
be purchased and the plant located
thereon.
A resolution was adopted naming
nine stockholders as a temporary board
of directors Of the company, as follows:
George Dole Wadley. A. Seasons,
George r. Youmans, John NJ. Cox, w.
A. Price, l.. Johnson, j. s. Bailey, H.
Murphy and P. N. Harley.
Mr.. Wadley suggested that the name
South Atlantic Car and Manufacture
ing Company" be selected as the name
for the car company, and the conven-
ton adopted this name. Judge Sweat
was requested to make application for
a charter as soon as possible, that
work may be begun on the construction
of the plant. The company is to be CAPT
taliZed at $25000 and of this sum
100000 is to be paid in before March
20
After the adjournment of the con-
ventioE, the board of directors met
and elected the following temporary
officers George Dole Wadley president,
w. A. Price vice president, and F. NJ
Hawkins secretary. The secretary was
instructed to collect subscriptions at
once.
The construction of the car factory
here means much for Waycross, as it
will add in the neighborhood of a
thousand to the population within the
next three months. The valuation of
city property has greatly increased
since the factory was regarded as
probable, and every one here is great
ly enthused over Waycross' future
prospects.

In the last races of this kind and
class Robert West, driven by his own
er, Mr.. O'Dell, was the winner, but in
the race in which he competes Monday
summer Fern and The King" are ex-
pected to give him all he requires in
the racing line.
In the other event the horses are
very evenly matched though Appolo
and Pilot Wilks, seem to be the ia
vorites. The other horses are in good
shape and as a horse race is mighty
uncertain, a surprise may be in store
for the favorites.
The entries for the running events,
Saturday afternoon. These races will
be quarter and half mile dashes, re-
spectively, each dash to constitute
race. The following horses are certain
to enter besides Il number of others at
the track and in condition to put up
good arguments: Invasion, King Full,
Pompalona, Margurite, Manza
Vaughn, White Foot, Full Order, Miss
Handry and Tommie Foster.
These horses are all very fast and
we'll conditioned. They can enter eth
er of the dashes and not until the en-
tries close will the event they enter
be known.
Mr.. Haight. in charge of the track
will have it in condition by the aft
ernoon of the meet. Everything to
make the meet a success will be done,
and it promises to be one of the best
ever held here. The races will begin at
2:3O o'clock, and the entire afternoon
will be taken up in the sport.

local horses entered, and promises
bright for one of the best and most

The horses which will enter the pac-
ing event are Appolo b. h. owned by
Lawrence Kelly: Pilot Wilks, b. g..
owned by George w. Haight; Mollie

The promoters of the meet have re-
considered their first intentions to
have these races run best three out
of five heats, and have decided upon
best two in three heats to constitute
the winner. This has been done on ac-
count of the horses while in condition,
not being equal to the strain of going
the greater number of heats to ad-
vantage.

165 pounds. He has been training hard
and expects 10 have a hard PROPOSE

theless, expects to win out. He is a
big brawny fellow and is looked upon
IN his state as a coming champion. He
has never been knocked out and is in
the business more for sport than for
gain as he is possessed of quite a suf-
ticient amount Of worldly goods.
Collier, who has been here several
days training at Isle of Hope with
Danny Doughetry, is equally as con-
hdent of winning. He is an old war
morse at the boxing business and has
met some of the best men in his class.
lie is not quite as heavy as Himmler
but Will make in the neighborhood of
l6O pounds at the ringside. He will de-
pend upon his experience and strength

Himmler will have in his corner Pat
