THINKS POSTAL LAWS
ARE BUNGLESOME
Madden Thinks Number of Changes
Could Be Made Which Would
Improve Service.


Detroit, Mich, August 23.-Third AS
sistant Postmaster General Edwin c.
Madden, who arrived in Detroit this after
noon, in his address before the delegates
to the National Association Of Second
and Third Glass Postmaster and members
of the Michigan Postmasters' association,
this evening made some pointed state-
ments concerning defects in the system OF
the department
Mr.. Madden deplored the fact that the
present postal laws and regulations pro-
viding for so much red tape tend to
the cultivation of machine men, giving too
little room for enterprise and Initiative.
The postal laws enacted one at time
have produced a patchwork result. de-
clared Mr. Madden.
Mr.. Madden would like to see remedied
the mail classification laws, which need
revision to modernize them. He declares
the present rate on printed matter too
high and advocated joining the third and
fourth class at the rate of the third class.
Mr.. Madden said a new law was needed
In the interests of the publishers relative
TO second class matter, and added that
there should be no special privileges in
the postal service. The present law as
to second class matter requires too much
Interpretation and supervision, hs averred.

TEN DAYs-THIS LAST ONE At
TEMPTED TO CLIMB IN WINDOW

Columbia, S. c., August 2s-Willie Spain,
a North Carolina negro, q years of age,
was shot by mob near st. George Dor
chester county, this afternoon.
This is the third lynching in South Car
olina within ten days.
S. L. Connor, manager of the Dorces-
ter Lumber company's stores at Bad

another negro attempting to enter win
dow of his home. and then run away into
a nearby cane patch. Connor Immediately
started for his home, going through the
canefield. Suddenly he came upon Spain
and grappled with the negro, striking him
severe blow, breaking several bones IN
his hand. The negro finally freed himself
and ran into nearby woods. Connor no
titled his neighbors and about two hours
later Spain was captured and locked up In
Jail. Shortly afterwards a posse of forty
or fifty men went to the sheriff and Sc
curing the keys to the jail took the ne
gro to the house of Connor, where his
11-year-old daughter positively identified
the negro as the one who tried to climb

HEARST CUTS Nc
FIGURE" "---JE:S,MF
DISTRICT ATTORNEY Ys HE is
A MAN OF NO IN TANCE AND
NO IDEAS-RE BY GROUP
AROUND HIM.

New York, August 2s.--District Attorney
William Traverse Jerome today again
talked of the political situation In this
state. He said he believed the time was
now right for the many leaders OF Tam
many Hall to state their positions. He
also declared that Mr.. Hearst as man
did not figure in the coming campaign.
IF Mr.. Hearst was nominated by tho
democratic convention would you support
himf' Mr.. Jerome was asked.
You will never face this situation" he
replied. Lets discuss something prac-
teal. The democratic party has had to
swallow some bitter draughts in the past,
but 1t will never stand for that medicine" !"
you saw what Mr.. Hearst said about
you?"
Yes, I saw that" answered the dis.
trict attorney.
There is no question of Hearst in this
matter in the person. The question is the
group about Hearst Hearst the man is
man of no importance and no ideas. He
is like Murphy. The question about Hearst
resolves itself into the persons who are
about him. whose ideas working on the
added brain of Czolgosz, armed his hand
to slay president, and working along
this line is reflected in the conduct of the
great leader of the Independence League,
brought President Bird s. Cooler who
went along the line of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit melting riot. The great Chief
Flaherity acted in a like manner, instead
OF leaving to be settled by the courts the
matter which belong to them to decide"

TELEPHONE GIRLS
TIE TIE UP BUSINESS
REFUSE TO ENTER BUILDING BY
REAR DOOR, BUT COMPANY is
oBDURATE AND WALkoUT is
THE RESULT.

Chicago, August 23+-Two hundred tel
ephone girls employed In the central ex-
change of the Chicago Telephone company
struck today, badly Gripping the service.
The cause of the strike was an order is
sued by the company directing the girls
at Central to enter the building through
a read door, which, In order to reach, they
were compelled to go through a passage
way 100 feet long. The girls declared that
the passageway is muddy even In the day
time and dark, Shiny and slippery at
night. There are three saloon entrances on
the alley and the girls declared that they
are annoyed by the hangers-on of these
places.
A demand that the order relating to the
rear be changed was refused by the COM
pany, and the girls struck after a stormy
meeting held early today.
One hundred and fifty other girls struck
within an hour of the first strike, making
a total of $50 who went out. Seven thou
san telephones in the business district
we're put out of commission.

Army officers at Wits End.

Army officers are at their wits end to
furnish a solution of the question as to
what is to be done with the negro troops
of the United States. The Brownsville,
Tex, episode has brought the matter to
crisis, and although the troops which
offended the citizens of Texas are to be
transferred to Indian Territory the au-
thorities of the department by no means
feel sure that this will end the difficulty
1t is carefully explained with the depart
ment that the sending of negro troops to
Texas was not without a thorough CONSUL
taton on the part of the officers In charge
of the matter. 1t WAS recognized that
they would not be welcome there. but 1t
was also recognized according to the
statement made today, that they would
not be welcomed at any other fort in
the United States.
When 1t was suggested today that they
might be transferred to the northwest
to such isolated posts as Fort Assinni-
bone, 1t was said that not only was this
post one for cavalry purposes, but there
was no question that the people Of Mon
tana, learning that this particular body
of men had been Objectionable to Texas
would put up just as strong protest
against their presence In Montana. 1t
seems probable that Congress at its next
session will be asked to repeal that sec
tion of the law which calls for the en-
llstment of negro troops.

WILL DISTRIBUTE MONEY.
About ss,oooo 900 VIII Be Placed In Ma
tIonaI DepositorIes.

Washington, August 2s.-Secretary Shaw
has taken steps to increase the deposits
of public moneys In national depositaries
in various parts of the country to $4,000,
the amount authorized by law. 1t affects
about $50 banks and will aggregate about
50, 900, 900 additional deposits.
Secretary Shaw said today in explana-
ton of his action that he had not desig-
mated any national bank repositories since
Immediately following the Panama bond
sale. There was quite a large surplus in
the treasury and he had decided to In
crease the deposits In large number of
banks to $4,000 each. Something over a
year ago the secretary made calls on all
repositories for percentage of the amount
held by express companies, and this had
reduced the holdings of money from the
very small amounts, ranging from $1,000
to less than $4,000. He said he had already
notified the banks that the increase would
aggregate something like s3,000,000.

GREAT NEGRO LEADER
AMONG THE KILLED
Quentin Bandera and Two Companions
Are Killed While Resisting
Guards Near Havana.

Havana, August 23.--The body of Gen.
eral Quentin Bandera, the most daring in
surgent in Havana province, lies in the
morgue at Havana today, fanked by those
of two mulatto comrades, all rightly
gashed by the long, heavy machettes of
the rural guards who ended their career.
Across the street in Neptune park great
crowd, mostly negro friends of 3andera,
are watching the morgue with silent IN
terest.
The arrival of Bandera's Body here was
the first news of the fight In which he
met his death. The conflict occurred at
the Silviera farm, near Punta Brava, fff-
teen miles from Havana. A detachment
of thirty-eight mounted rural guards, un-
der Captain Ignacio Delgado and Lieuten-
ant Martinez was searching Throughout
the night for Bandera's party. At 2
o'clock this morning the guards We're
breaking through wire fence at tne
edge of the Silviera farm when they were
suddenly fired upon by Bandera's follow
ers. twenty in number. The guards rushed
upon the insurgents, but with the excep-
ton of their chief and his two leading
comrades they all succeeded in getting
away.
Chief Is Singled Out.
The guards made the chief and his two
companions special object of attack.
and all three received several bullet
wounds and all were horribly mutilated
by machette cuts. Not one of the guards
was wounded. The bodies of Bandera
and his companions were placed in a
wagon and taken to Havana. An exam
nation of Bandera's body showed that his
principal wound was a severe machette
blow on the head, which cut off his left
ear and made an ugly inciston in his face.
He also had bullet wounds In his arms
and breast. The condition of Bandera s
two dead companions was even more
shocking Their faces and heads were
terribly gashed and they also had ma
chette wounds in their breasts and on
their arms. The clothes of all three men
showed every evidence of the hard life
which they had been leading while elud-
ing their pursuers
# has been an open secret among the
rural guards that Bandera would never
live to be tried for treason, his death
being the main object of the government

whites In this country and, as a result.
