BOTH BADLY WOUNDED
Santa Fe Special Officer Engages in
Shooting Match With a
Negro.

Prescott, Ariz.. Dec. 27.-Special Of
ffcer Whitley of the Santa Fe railroad
and Peter BaWs, a negro, were both
seriously if not fatally wounded as the
result Of a shooting ARRAY this after
noon in front of the depot at Ashfork
in which eighteen shots were ex-
changed. The negro was shot seven
times and will probably die. Whitley
was hit in the groin and leg, and is
now on a train en- route to the Los
Angeles hospital. The colored man was
on WestbOund train from Louisiana
and had some dispute as to paying his
fare from Williams to Ashfork. Upon
arriving at the latter place Conductor
Mckinley asked Whitley, the company
detective there, to remove him.
Trouble started when Whitley was
bringing the negro off the car. The
negro stepped off on the opposite side
of the train and ran, whereupOn the
officer opened fire, which the negro re-
turned, and a fusillade followed. Whit
ley emptied his gun first, and as he
turned to run behind the depot to re-
load his weapon he was hit the third
time, the last shot taking effect in the
fleshy part of the thigh. He reloaded
and returned and began shooting from
under the train. The negro was rid
died with bullets and fell, having re-
ceived five bullets in the chest, one
through the jaw and another in the
knee

CHANCE FOR ALL TO HELP
Suggestion by President Heber NJ.
Wells to Help "See America
First" Project.

President Heber NJ Wells has made a
public request that all business and pro-
fessiOnal men of Utah and other states
who are DESTROYS of aiding the See
America First" project have the motto
See Europe If you will, but see America
First placed on their stationery.
President Wells letter making the above
request follows:
The attention of the business and pro-
fessiOnal men OF this and other states,
who may see this notice, is respectfully
called 10 the widespread interest excited
by the inauguration of the See America
First movement. The enterprise thus
described will unquestionably result in
great good to the entire west, and is de-
serving of the support Of all our people.
with this thought in mind the Com
mercial club, Salt Lake City, feels en-
boldened to request that all those who
wish to aid the undertaking in question,
have the motto See Europe If you will,
but see America first placed eonspicu-
OuSly on their letter heads and envelopes.
This can be done at but small cost, and
will aid greatly in giving publicity to the
work of teaching Americans to learn first
the greatness Of their own country"

LOW SALARIES,
POOR SERVICE
Efficient Clerks Cannot Be Secured
for Postoffice.
INDECENT POSTAL CARDS
ANNUAL REPORT OF SECRETARY
HITCHCOCK.

Washington, Dec. 27-In his annual
report. made public today, First As
sistant Postmaster General Hitchcock
says that the low salaries paid clerks
in first and second class postoffices is
decreasing the standard OF efficiency.
1t is impossible, he says. to induce eff
ficient men to enter this branch OF the
service when the salary TO begin with
is but $500 per year, with no certainty
of -romotion for perhaps several years.
Mr.. Hitchcock strongly recommends a
discontinuance OF the practice Of in
stalling postoffices IN public buildings
devoted in part to other branches of
the government service. The best type
OF quarters for postofice purposes, he
says. is a single large room in a one
story building.
Much embarrassment has been oc-
casioned the postal authorities to pro-
vide emergency mall facilities in min
ing towns, and Mr.. Hitchcock recon-
mends an emergency appropriation Of
$40, 900 to meet such requirements.
There has been an increase of more
than $4,000. 900 IN the amount of do
nestle and of more than Sc, OO0, 900 in
the amount of foreign money orders
issued during the year over the one
preceding.
