WIRELESS PRICES
MUCH INCREASED
TELEGRAMS WILL COST HALF AS
MUCH AGAIN AS THEY DID BE-
FORE THE SUBSIDY EXPIRED.

The government subsidy of $1,000 a
month to the Inter-Island Telegraph
Company expired on September 30 and
from this time on the company has to
paddle its own canoe. with that fact
in mind the company has already
jumped its prices fifty per cent and adj
vertisements to this effect have been
published
The old rate was ten cents a word
and minimum Of dollar hhd the
new rate is fifteen cents tpr<word
with a minimum of $1.5O fRu
THE Inter-Island Wireless Telegraph
Company is not self-sustaining at the
old rates without the government sub
sidy," said secretary ]. M. Riggs this
morning, "the last legislature refused
to grant the subsidy and we have no
resource other than to put up the rates
in order to pay expenses. We will
see now if we can make it go at the
new rates though it was thought we
might have to double the prices. AS a
matter of fact the old rate would not
pay running expenses. We pay our
operators from $40 to SIS a month and
there are other large drains on our
revenue which forced us to put up
prices"

An extensive scheme to rob postal
sacks in railway mail trains has been
exposed by PostofIice Inspectors Germcr

been arrested and a confession has been
obtained by Inspector James L. Stuart
from third man. The latter has not
been arrested. Those In custody are

They were caught at the Chicago. Mil

men refused to make statements. II Is
said that as result of the scheme thou-
sands Of dollars worth Of mail matter
had disappeared In the last few months,
after being placed on a Chicago, Miiwau'
kee and st. Paul mail train. Inspectors
Germer and Mullen rode on the various
mail trains of the company and made
every effort to discover the robbers, but
without result. Several days ago the In
spectors came upon a clew which result

men were employed as mail sorters on

sacks were rhed and packages contain
ing valuables were taken. The wrappers
on the packages removed were thrown
from the train and at this point oil trace
OF the contents would be lost.

Former Mayor Supposed to Have
Been Seen In Canada.
A sensation has been caused through.
out Virginia by the publication of a story
indicating doubt that Samuel McCue.
former Mayor of Charlottesville. was
hanged for the murder Of his wife. The
story appears In d weekly paper. and de-
clares that after the execution Il travel
ing salesman met in Toronto man much
resembling McCue. The paper gives the
following alleged facts In addition: Nc.
Cues back was to the spectatOrs--an
unusual thing. The drop was three feet.
The deputy who adjusted the rope was
observed to unduly busy himself by plac.
ing his hand around McCue and arrang.
Ing something under his coat. When cut
down the features of the victim were
placid and peaceful. The neck was not
broken, and there was no struggle. Then
IL related rumor that one Of the in
surance companies refused to pay pol.
icy on the murderer and that the refusal
was accepted BY the bencfciaries In pref.
erence to an elimination. The paper
thinks that a small steel hook was used
at the execution which suspended the
body until cut down. Many persons de.
clare they believe McCue still Is alive.
