Official Statement Of the Postmaster

General.
In pursuance Of the policy of the Post
Office Department. as outlined in The Star
yesterday, regarding the exclusion from the
mails of all publications holding guessing
contests" the Postmaster General has is
sued the following official statement:
For a number Of years the Post Office
Department has admitted to the mails adj
vertfsements and other matter concerning
so-called guessing or estimating con-
tests. The question Of whether or not these
schemes are lotteries has several times been
presented to the Attorney General, who
held that they were not lotteries within the
meaning Of the postal lottery act. In view
of two recent cases in which the Supreme
Court and the New York court of appeals
rendered opinions. the Postmaster General
felt warranted In again submitting the
question to the Attorney General. Follow
ing the opinions in these two cases, the At
torney General now holds that the schemes
are lotteries.
ut is, therefore. incumbent upon the Post
Office Department to enforce the law under
which the Postmaster General Is author
lied, upon evidence satisfactory to him that
any person OF company is engaged In con-
Quoting a lottery or other scheme for the
distribution of money by chance, to issue
an order that all mail addressed to such
person or company be returned stamped

made Immediately absolute. If such
scheme has already been entered upon in

INJURIES WERE FATAL
DEATH OF CHARLES J. KELLOGG
AT GEORGETOWN HOSPITAL.
Fall From Electric Car Causes Concus-
SION Of the Brain-Treasury
Department Clerk.

Charles ]. Kellogg. a law clerk in the
United States Treasury Department. who
was rendered unconscious by falling from
the rear end of a Washington Traction car
near the corner of 36th and P streets,
Georgetown. about $3.50 o'clock yesterday
evening, died about o'clock this morning
at the Georgetown University Hospital. to
which he was taken soon after the acct
dent Mr.. Kellogg was talking with a.
friend, Mr.. James r. Hardy, on the rear
platform when the car reached Both street
and the latter states that both were taken
unawares when the curve was turned and
Mr.. Kellogg, who was standing near the
trailer, was thrown head1ong to the pave
ment. He was taken to the hospital in an
unconscious condition and death resulted
from concussion of the brain.
Mr.. Kellogg came to Washington from
New Orleans La, and for several years had
held position as law clerk In the Gus
toms division of the treasury. He was
graduate of the National Law School and
had received the degrees Of master of arts
and doctor of civil laws from Columbian
L University. He was regarded by his su-
periorS as a man of excellent character and
brilliant attainments.- He was also known
to be a man of exemplary habits. De-
ceased was thirty-eight years of age. He
was unmarried.
Friends of the young man in the city have
notified his relatives in New Orleans and
no arrangements for the funeral will be
made until their wishes are communicated.
1t is thought probable that the remains will
be taken to his native state for burial.
An inquest will be held by the coroner

and think they are protecting their feet. It
is all a mistake. The soles of the feet are
not sensitive to cold. IL Is not through
the .soles that you catch cold or feel cod.
Any ordinary shoe affords the feet all the
protection necessary so far as temperature
is concerned. To avoid cold feet the ankles
and instep should be protected. That's
where your second pair of socks does its
work. But, as matter of fact. In very
cold weather every one should wear cloth
tops covering the whole upper part of the
shoe.
with spats and doubled socks and me-
dium-weight shoes you can walk on ice In
zero weather and not know it's coId-so far
as your feet are concerned. OF course. you
feel the cold most in your toes. but the pro-
lection of the upper part of the foot where
the larger blood vessels run down is the
main thing. Your toes won't feel cold If
the rest of your foot is warm.
I'D like to sell you pair of tops. These
black ones would just go with your new
shoes. They're only-no, not this timef

see you wear two pairs of socks" said
the shoe salesman to the customer. You
are very wise A good many people are be-
ginning to do it. especially between seasons.
People ought to do it all through the win
ter. There Is more warmth in two pairs OF
summer socks than there is In the heaviest
pair of woolens that ever was manufactur-
ed. If you are troubled with cold feet you
will find that the combination of a pair of
woolens and a pair of lightweight socks

comfortably the coolest day that comes. IL
your feet are tender you can wear the
thread ones inside and the wool without.
II you are extra cold reverse the process.
whichever you do you will find the thin
pair easily doubles the value of the thick
one

Neither the state nor anybody else

earth to the stars, and cannot be

way, nobody but the Kimball Graph
c would claim that a sovereign state

De no difficulty about the state sink
ing wells for its capitol gas supply.
The Graphic then says:
at the price the city now sells
the gas to consumers, no one could
afford to use it for heating purposes.
t would cost four times the price Of
coal.
The city Of Pierre sells it's gas at
a rice so per cent lower than coal
gas is supplied in any city IN the
United States. There are MANY
people in Pierre whose .commodious
homes were heated as well as lighted
by gas last winter. without use of a
single pound of coal or other fuel,
ana the gas bills for heating, light
ing and cooking did not amount in
cny case to SO much as. $40 per
month
These are a few of the facts of the
case regarding Pierre's natural gas
supply by which it is proposed to
save the state many thousands Of
dollars for Lighting and heating its
capitol.
If Mitchell had sach resource as
this natural gas supply, her strikers
and knockers would be shouting it
as the greatest possible argument
that could be made for removal Of
the capital.
But Pierre has it, and Mitchell
hasn't. And Pierre offers the state
direct participation in this splendid
asset among the states resources,
and q consequent reduction of state
taxes thousands of dollars every
year, if the capital shall remain
where it belongs.

in the result there. 1t may be said
that the president relies on the young
men and on the independent voters
who have always been with him In
matters of reform. He knows that he
can depend upon the loyalty Of the
straight-out republicans. All that Is
necessary as far as they are concerned
is to get them out to vote.
Connecticut and New Jersey are not
for moment placed in the doubtful
column by republicans. The protective
tariff policy and the establishment OF
the gold standard by the republicans
are thought to be enough to hold those
states in line against the democrats
with their candidate who has, after
voting for Bryan on the silver plat
form In 1896 and 1900, simply said he
accepts the financial issue as settled
and fails to admit that 1t was settled
by the republicans whom he would put
out Of power for doing what he, Park
er, voted against doing in two presi-
dental elections.
Delaware is doubtful, simply because
of the miserable factional fight among
the republicans, fight in which the
republicans Of the state have been cor
rupted by one faction and split in
twain. Maryland is in doubt because
Of the German election law. II will
probably go. democratic, but not with
out the hardest kind Of fight by the
republicans. West Virginia is doubt
full, especially because of the candidacy
of Henry G. Davis for vice. president.
West Virginia never had a vice-presi-
dental candidate before. and state
pride goes a long way, particularly
in the case of man who has done so
much to develop It's industrial possibil-
tiles. West Virginia Is doubtful, TOO,
because of some mistakes by republic
cans In state affairs. But Senator
Scott, Of that state, who is to be In
charge of eastern republican headquar-
ters, according to reliable reports,
maintains that the state is not doubt
full, calculating upon the loss of no
more than 5000 votes by the return of
gold democrats to the party and of less
than 1000 because Of Mr.. Davis per-
sonal popularity.
Indiana is not doubtful, according to
