RED HOT FIGHT ON
PARCELS POST PLAN
Energetic Campaign Of the Mer-
chants League.
ORGANIZATIONS IN LINE.
Pledges Sought from Congressional
Candidates of Both Parties
Small Dealers Most
Affected

Commercial organizations and bust
ness men from all sections of the coun-
try are endorsing the movement headed
by the Merchants League of America,
with headquarters at go Broadway,
New York City, against the establish
ment by the government of a deficit
producing parcels post system for the
sole benefit of the catalogue mail order
houses.
That powerful organization known as
the Affiliated Presidents and Score
taries of Commercial Trade Organiza-
tions," which is made up of the work
ing heads of nearly one hundred
commercial bodies, has adopted strong
resolutions against the establishment
OF a parcels post system on the
lines proposed by the catalogue mail
order houses, and the members of
these organizations are vigorously aid
ing the Merchants League of America
IN its big campaign.
The Merchants League for some
weeks has been supplying newspapers
OF the country with facts and figures
showing that parcels post system in
the United States would raise the an
nual deficit of the Post Office Depart
ment from SIS, 100000, which it now is,
to more than $I5o,ooo,ooo. 1t also has
pointed out to the bankers manufac-
turers and small merchants of the coun-
try that this deficit would have to be
made up of taxation on the whole peo-
pie so that the small merchants are
asked by the catalogue mail order
houses to foot the bill for their own
determination.
The great deficit would be caused by
the fact that it would cost the govern
ment approximately seven times as
much to carry parcels under the pro-
posed rates, as would be paid by the
shippers. Thus the latter would get six
sevenths of their carrying charges free,
and thus could regularly underse1l the
small dealers of the country.
+ Pressure is being brought to bear by
the Merchants League on the candi-
dates Of both parties for Congress to
have them declare themselves on the
parcels post proposition before the No
yember election The merchants of the
various localities are aiding in this. and
in October LIST will be issued show
ing the candidates who have promised
to stand by the interests of their own
localities and those who have cast their
lot for the concentration of the coun-
try's retail trade in a few big centers,
thus clirtailing bank deposits, newspa-
per advertising and general trade in
their home sections.
All merchants and business men are
requested by the Merchants League to
join its movement and to enroll as Sup
porters. Blanks are furnished by the
organization 10 all business men who
apply and they are thoroughly informed
on the progress of the movement. Com
ffietcial bodies also have been urged to
aid to their fullest abilities.

With the coming of cooler days the
question of children's school frocks and
their materials are of great interest
Checks and plaids continue to be prime
favorites, and with abundant reason. for
there is nothing so thoroughly childlike
and pretty as the gay Scotch plaids.
Panama cloth in the various weights,
and in all colors of red, blue, green and
brown has taken the place of both serge
and mohair in the children's wardrobe
It's firm texture, its pliability, its lack of
that tendency to ravel at cut edges which
makes both serges and mohairs SO diff
cult for the amateur sewer to handle !;
and, above all, its iron-like wearing ouali-
ties have won for it an abiding place
in the affections of thrifty mothers. 1t

Guatemala and Salvador Are

WASHINGTON. July 5.-The United
States will probably figure again as a
peacemaker. Guatemala and Salvador
are making overtures for the arbitra-
tion of their troubles resulting from the
alleged activity Of Salvador in support
of the revolutionary movement against
President Cabrera of Guatemala, and IL
is likely the United States will be Sc
lected as the country IN which the
board Of arbitration will meet.

reference in Guatemalan affairs the
State Department sent the Marblehead
from Panama to prevent meddling. and
Mexico and the United States made IT
clear that they wouI look withdisfavor
upon any combination of Central Amer
lean powers to overthrow President
Cabrera of Guatemala.
When the position OF the United
States became clear Salvador an
nounced the appointment OF separate
envoy TO prevent any serious interna-
tional complication.
Guatemala has complained bitterly
to the United States of the conduct Of
Salvador, and charges that the latter
Government has taken every means to
forward the cause of the revolutionary
forces to hasten the downfall OF Presi-
dent Cabrera.

EARNINGS OF ROADS
ARE ENORMOUS.
New Record for Gross
Revenues Established
During the Past Year
Reports of Virtually All
Large Systems Show
an Unusual Increase
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

NEW YORK, July 5.-The railways
of the United States and Canada have
completed the biggest year in their
history. The year closed on Saturday
night last and indications are that 1t
will result in gross earnings more than
ten per cent heavier than the earnings
of 1905, which were themselves a rec
ord
For the eleven months period fifty
six railways report to the Wall Street
Journal gross earnings of $902,712,S59.
against $803,S36,653 last year. This is
an Increase of $9S,S77,2O6 or 12.3 per
cent.
In net, the same railways report for
eleven months s2s2224,O00. against
1888, 100000. an increase of $39, 900
or 15.4 per cent. If this percentage of
the Interstate Commerce Commission s
figures for 1905 the following results
are obtainable:
Total gross. 1905, $2.o7s,177,oOo; in
crease, 1906 C2.3 per cent?, $255,0o0,-
0O0
Total gross. 1906. -$2,32S,177,000.

1906 Q5.4 per cent?. s106,197.000.
Net, 1906. $795,790.000.
The meaning of these figures is not
easy to grasp The increase of over
$255,000,o00 in gross revenues means
that there has been added to the rail-
ways of the United States a total gross
earning capacity equal to the gross
earning capacity of the Chicago and

PARIS. July 6.-Upon unquestionable
authority it may be stated that Cap
tain Dreyfus will receive full repara-
tion at the conclusion of the present
inquiry before the court of cessation.
This authority declares that the
Dreyfus judgment of the Rennes court
martial Will be annulled without new
trial for the accused man and that he
will be rehabilitated in the service as
in the same order for promotion as
before his trial. Dreyfus also will be
proposed for the cross of the Legion
of Honor.
Colonel Picquart, the same authority
says. will not receive like exoneTation.
as HIS case must go to the council of
state.
Procurator General Baudouin in the
Supreme Court today concluded his ar
gument in the Dreyfus case, formally
asking the court-to quash the verdict
Of the Rennes court-martial without
retrial.
Maitre Monard, counsel for Dreyfus,
gave a new phase TO the proceedings
by cutting loose from his historical de-
tails and asserting that anti-Semitic
hatred had been the primary cause of
a miscarriage of Justice. Continued
and unjustifable efforts of leading
generals to prevent Dreyfus becoming
a member of the stan, he said, were
unsuccessful Dreyfus passed the
examinations in the staff college brill
liantly and entered the Ministry of
War. There he found fanatical anti
Semitism equally rampant.
Eventually, when the affair Of the
treason occurred, the resemblance of
handwriting was regarded as sufficient
proof of guilt. The witnesses in the
