Deputy Game Warden McH. Har-

signment of furs, elk scalps and ant
lers which he has reason to believe are
being sent from the country to cover
up the fact that the animals, especial
ly the elk, were killed out Of season.
This is the second seizure made this
week, the first being at Sites on Mon
day.
1.-THE open, season for the killing of
elk closed December 81" said Mr..
Harbaugh this morning. "but the elk
scalps that l have seized indicate that
the animals were killed since that
time. There is at Peck three elk
scalps worth from $25 to $50 each
and a magnificent pair of six point
antlers, valued at $3.50 The value OF
all that have seized would aggregate
5000.
Now Awaiting Developments.
"The law provides that where con-
signments OF furs or scalps are ship
ped from the country, they must b.
accompanied by a certificate sayini
that the animals were killed in seasoI
and who they were killed by. givini
the date and number of the hunter

In the most exciting race the Ameri-

Detroit and Cleveland, are battling on
the opposing grounds.
Apparently it's all over but the

The North American began Sunday,
September 1. to publish series of six
articles, which will tell this whole
story. They will be written by George
M. Graham, sporting editor of The
North American, who, having been
with the team on the southern train
ing trip, is familiar with every step
by which the club was whipped into
shape by Manager Mack and formed
into the present invincible combina-
tion.
Every stage of this development will
be covered, and there will be new
stories about members of the team,
which, with Rube Waddell, Chief
Bender, Topsy Hartsel, Socks Seybold
and such celebrities, includes, per-
haps, more famous baseball characters
than any team in the country.
Walt McDougall. The North Ameri-
cans famous cartoonist, will con-
tribute series of drawings, which
will illustrate the humorous side of
the recital.
The articles will also be illustrated
by photographs.
Order at once. and make sure that
during the next six weeks you get ev-
cry one of this series on the team that
looks likely to bring Philadelphia its
third pennant in seven years. and
which. if victorious, will play the
Chicago Nationals for the world S
championship.

Parcels Post

The immense dividends paid by the
big American express companies is the
best evidence of the profits made from
the prices charged Fpatrons, and the
advantages and saving that would
come to the people through a parcels
post by government direction. The
question will come up before the next
congress, and the express companies
will unquestionably make every ef-
fort to defeat such bill. At present
our postal service carries our merch-
andise, provided it does not weigh
more than four. pounds, for one cent
per ounce
The parcels post system of Germany
leads the world. 1t carries packages
weighing as much as ITO pounds. Peo-
pie send chickens by mail. or eggs,
or wine, or fish. Sometimes school
boys even mail their linen home to be
washed and returned. The German
postoffices use the zone system. Around
each distributing centre are imaginary
circles, at 10 miles, 20 miles, 90, 100
and 100. An 11-pound package will be
carried anywhere in the first zone for
6 cents, and anywhere through the
whole empire for IL cents. Parcels
weighing as much as 1 pounds, when
mailed within city, are delivered
anywhere in that city for 2l5 cents
though a rural delivery may cost as
much as cents.

come to Calabro's house his head

In describing the scene in the house,
he testified that the inmates of the
house, or members of the society,"

the breast. The men would then sit
down and play cards and drink. De-
mands were made for money ON the

give them $500.
The basement was the meeting place
of the society and they would do every

ON tine 9Th of March this year. At one
time he saw four women, one of them
an English woman. There were about
30 men there.
When asked by the District Attorney
why he gave his money to Calabro, he
testified that he was afraid, as Calabro
had threatened several times to cut off
his head At one time witness was
he had drawn his pay, and was forced
to pay his money over to Calabro, he
said, who refused to give him any
money back to pay his board or to buy

about it just before the State police
pulled the house, but never told any

money.
Soon after court convened in the af-

The outline Of the defense was made
by Fred T. Ikeler. Fortunate and
Antonio Calabro were both called to
the witness stand and testified in their
own behalf. denying to great extent

may be registered, or sent special de-
livery, or Q. o. D. In the last case the
government collects the money, charges
small fee and returns the collection
to the original sender. A small extra
payment insures that the parcel will
be sent by fast limited train and de-
livered by special messenger. Ger
many's business men consider the sys-
tenn indispensable. They say they
could not get along without it. In
1904 the German postoffice handled 6, =
S94, S99, 900 pieces of mail matter. AT
the end of the year the postoffice was

Probably it would be long time be-
fore our rates could be as low as Ger
many's. because their railroads are OBJ
liged to carry parcels weighing II
pounds and less without cost to the
government.
In England, where the parcels post
is not nearly SO thoroughly developed,
the railroads take SO per cent of the
parcels post charges. But even Eng
land has far outstripped America, for
she carries one pound for cents. two
pounds for 8 cents and ii pounds for
"a cents, limiting her postal parcels
to II pounds. In 1885 she began ex-
tending the parcels post system to her
colonies.
Even little Japan has parcels post,
with a maXium of about ~ pounds,
carrying l = pounds for 5 cents and
the maximum for % cents.

The testimony of John Zongrone,
who was the first witness called by

indicative of the string of horrible de-
tails that we're told by each witness
in turn during most of the morning

He testified as living in West Ber-
