COUPON ADS MUST GO

The postofIice department through an
order of Third Assistant Postmaster
General Madden has served notice on
all the publishers of magazines and
other periodicals that the coupon form
of advertising so much employed by
advertisers who desire to obtain evil
dence that their advertisements are
read will not be admitted to the mails
after March A. 1907, at the second-class
rates under which newspapers and
magazines are entered.
The department holds that the law
permitting the publication OF adver-
tisements in publications which have
the second-cass mail privilege does
not authorize the use of coupons which
are designed to furnish means of flu
ture correspondence between the read
er and the advertiser. Such coupons
are held to be either writing paper
furnished the reader for his conven-
ienee. and therefore subject to the
merchandise rates, or advertisements
To be detached from the publication
In which they appear. and therefore
subject to the third-class rate. The
law provides that the inclusion of any
such matter in'a periodical entitled to
the second-class rate subjects the perl
odical 10 the higher rate.
Mr.. Madden's order says there will be
no interference with the present prac-
tice of advertisers and publishers with
regard to coupon advertisements until
March 4 next, by which time congress
win have had an opportunity TO deal
with the question. But II clearly I'M
Inmates that unless congress makes
some changes i'm the law by that time
which win enable the continuance OF
the practice it will be stopped by the
action of the department.

to Alaska. 1t also has a chain of land
stations running from New York to
San Francisco, via Chicago and Den
yer, from Chicago to New Orleans,
via st. Louis Other stations will
doubtless new be erected.
Mr.. White has been interested in
wireless for years, almost ever since
he first came into notice as the original
postage stamp bidder. That was ten
years ago, when he bid in S1.500, 900 of
bonds on a postage stamp and turned
them over to Russell Sage at 100000
profit without advancing another cent.
Since then he has been behind the De
Forest company, of which he is presi-
dent.
II knew him when he executed con-
tract with the government to equip sta
tions to send wireless messages thou
sand miles over land and water from
Guantanamo to Panama saw the check
which the government gave him when
that contract was satisfactorily COM
pleted.
Plan Station at North Pole
"I was also present at dinner at the
Waldorf last spring to Walter Well
man. the arctic explorer when Mr..
White agreed to equip Mr. Wellman's
expedition with wireless furnish an
operator for the airship and construct
station at Hammerfest or there
abouts. to receive the first message
from the north pole.

chased from his profits in the recent

1T is said Mr.. Mccall spent a million

EXTENSION AIDS CAPTURE.
Woman Whispers Message to the In
dianaDOIiS Police.


A f~ull-f1edged negro burglar vas
captured at the home of Henry D..
Pierce, lie North Meridian street,
about 3 O'Clock this morning, says
the Indianapolis News. The capture
vas largely due to the bravery of
Mary Harold, the housekeeper, who
heard the man prowling about in the
house. The police surprised the
burglar and caught him hiding be-
hind a door. There is conclusive evil
dence that he is the burglar who
visited a number of North Side
homes.
Mrs. Pierce had an extension tele-
phone in her room and when she was
awakened by Miss Harold she called
police headquarters. In a whisper
just loud enough for the desk SER
geant to hear through the phone,
Mrs. Pierce told him that burglars
were in her house, and to send the
police. Bicyclemen Hall and Mullen
were admitted by Miss Harold. With
their revolvers drawn the police went
from room to room as fast as the
lights were switched on.
The house was pretty thoroughly
searched without the burglar being
found, and the bicyclemen supposed
that the affair was a burglar scare"
Miss Harold, however, was positive
in declaring that she heard a man in
the house and she pointed to articles
of value that had been piled about on
the lower floor as evidence that there
had been an intruder. She finally
walked into Mr.. Pierce's den and
turned on the lights. She did not
see anything in the room to excite
her suspicion that any n was pres
ent, and she walked out. A moment
later one of the bicyclemen looked
behind a door in the den and there
stood a burly negro. The burglar
surrendered and he stepped out a
