RURAL CARRIERS
HOLD CONVENTION
President MCCULLOUGH Recon-
mends That They Ask
$3.50 for Horse Hire.
MAKES A GOOD ARGUMENT
HOLDS THAT 1T. WOULD BE BET
TER FOR CARRIERS TO TRY FOR
ADDITIONAL HORSE HIRE
THAN LARGER SALARY.
Publishers Press1

Anderson, Ind, Sept. 3.-The Indi-
ana Association of Rural Letter Car
riers held its fifth annual convention
here today. John l.. Forkner. who
retired at mayor at noon today, de-
livered the address of welcome
Emory Mccullough, president of the
association, responded to the greeting
of the retiring mayor Edgar E. Hen
dee, State Senator, of this city, spoke
on Good Roads"
In his annual address and official
report this afternoon. President Nc
Cullough, advocated that the Indiana
Association of Rural Letter Carriers
can better ask for an allowance of
$3.50 a year for horse hire than to de-
mand a further increase in salary
The cost of taking care of a horse in
the rural service, he said, will average
not less than $40 a month, or from
$500 to s235 for feed alone, to which
the cost of harness and repairs
should be added
President Mccullough also advised
that the Indiana association withdrew
its patronage from the official organ,
the R. F. ID. News. published at Chi
caso. and that it be placed with tin
Ruralite. printed at New York, the
change being recommended, he said.
because he thought the News did not
fairly support the national organiza-
ton of rural letter carriers during
the controversy over the Cunningham
administration.

asked. Two weeks in a Moorish pris-
on would make a man willing to go
anywhere else.
When Henry w. Herring, formerly
cashier of the Milwaukee Avenue
State bank, learned of the arrest of
Stensland, he expressed his pleasure.
He said he was surprised that Stems
land would be taken alive, expressing
his belief that the man would have
committed suicide before permitting
himself to be captured. He also de-
clared that when the trial of Ste1s-
land came off it would show that he,
Herring, had been a dupe of Stensland
and had suffered through his financial
manipulations.
News of the arrest of Stensland
was received in this city with great
excitement A long line of depositors
was in front of the bank waiting for
their money when the announcement
was made, and it was greeted with
cheers, groans and threats.
Later advices were received at of
fees of the states attorney which
threw considerable doubt on the state
ment that Stensland would return
peaceably officials of the Office after
the receipt OF a cablegram, the con-
tents of which they declined to di-
vulge, became busy in the preparation
of extradition papers, and it is now
