CLERK HAD HEART FAILURE.
Mail Man Slightly Surprised to Find
Tramp in His Car.

Wichita, Kan, June 25.-The mail
clerk on Missouri Pacific train No. 403
which arrives in the city at 1880 a. m.
from Yates Center almost died of heart
failure while making the run from
that city. He was working away in
his car, lifting the heavy mail pouches
off the pegs and getting them ready
for their respective stations. Just as
the train was leaving Yates Center, the
clerk reached up and lifted heavy
sack from his peg and as he did so
there was disclosed to his astonished
view a big, bad blinking bum who
had been crouching behind the mail
was the more frightened, the clerk or
the bum. Investigation on the part
of the mail clerk developed the fact
that the vagrant desired to beat his
way to Hot Springs, Ark.

POSTMASTER DENIES CHARGE.
w. p. BoswOrth. of PaOla. Did Not
Solicit Sale of Stamps.

Paola, Kan. June 25.-Postmaster
W. P. BoswOrth says in regard to the
report charging him with soliciting the
sale of stamps to increase his salary
that the charge is absolutely false and
made by enemies for political and re-
vengeful purposes. Three inspectors
have been here since January 1. One
reported o. K. The other was unfa-
vorable and Congressman Charles F.
Scott was last. He said: ''Postoffice
at Paola is in as good condition as any
in state w. P. Bosworth has been
postmaster here for the last four years
and is supported by the people of
Miami county. Since he has been in
office the sale of stamps has increased
so that Paola is in city delivery class,
but any charge of solicitation to bring
this about on Mr.. Bosworth's part is
not believed here.

Charleston, Pittsburg, Portland; Orc.
Galveston. St Paul. Seattle, Rich

In connection with the conference,
"a pamphlet is being circulated among
the commercial organizations which
throws considerable light on the de:
velopment Of foreign commerce. The
pamphlet was prepared under the. H.
rection Of Secretary Straus by N. !.
Stone, the tariff expert OF the depart
nent Of commerce and labor. In this
work Mr.. Stone discusses the func-
tions Of the department ana makes
comparisons with the functions per.
formed by similar departments Of Eu.
ropean governments. In Germany, for
Instance, the department has five
councillors whose duty it Is to study
foreign commerce. Under these couu-
cilors are bureaus and divisions charg-
ed with the collection and publication
of information and statistics relating
TO various topics OF interest to the
country's commerce.
These councillors are not like our
special agents and clerks, who are
charged with u vast mass Of routine
work. They are relieved OF all such
labor and have the fullest opportunity
for the work Of gathering information
and IDEAS. In short, they are men OF
brains and not automatons They are
consulted when a tariff bill, for in.
stance, comes up In the relchstak or
when 4 commercial treaty with some
foreign country comes up for consid,
Grafton before the foreign department.

Both in England and In Germany
the chief work OF tho department Of
commerce and labor Is furnishing in
formation and ADVICE TO the business
world. Through the businss OF man.
uiactnrcs our department has been try.
Ing to do something like this. and It
was to this end that the daily publ.
cation of consular and trade reports
was commenced. It has been suggest.
ed at to'day's meeting that since much
OF the information published in the
daily consular and trade reports comes
from the department OF state, 1t would
be well to have a joint committee ap.
pointed by the secretary Of commerce
and labor and the secretary Of State
to work out n practicable scheme for
better cooperation between the two
departments. 1t Is likely that this will
soon be accomplished and that the de.
rartment of commerce and labor, rs
the result of the present conference
and those to come, will soon become
an important factor in the develop.
