it is pointed out, must be paid in the mat
ter of elevations, to the various changes
in conditions which take place from time to
time, as to temperature, weather, time or
day and the effect produced on the rifle
barrel through constant or rapid firing.
For instance, a cold day requires higher
elevations, a hot day lower elevations, a
cloudy day higher elevations. a bright day
lower elevations, hot gun higher eleVa-
lions and a cold gun lower elevations.
The study of the wind and its effect on
the fight of the bullet is regarded as ex-
tremely interesting.
Take. for instance. wind blowing from
the right, as indicated by flags. smoke,
waving OF grass or by wetting the finger
and holding it above the head Maj. Rob
bin; says, how few people, comparatively,
would think that the normal course of the
bullet would be altered thereby. Using the
hour marks figures on the face of a
clock as guide. does it not seem strange
that bullet will be carried to the left of
the bulrs-eye by wind blowing from i
o'clock even further to the left if blow
ing from - o'clock and still further to the
left if blowing from 3 o'clock?' But such
ing conditions must be offset by moving
the wind gauge toward the wind a sufficient
distance to counteract same. The velocity
Of the wind has to be reokoned with also.
Problem Becomes Difficult.
In the absence of an thermometer or
other wind recording instrument a diff
cult problem is presented By constant
practice and with the aid of flags, a rifle
man can learn, approximately, the amount
of change required to be made on the
wind gauge to compensate for the indi-
Gated direction and estimated force of a
troublesome wind, but seldom without the
loss of a trial shot or two.
Further, Maj. Robbins makes plain to
the guardsmen, mirage, or heat waves,

CUTS PAY.
Government Orders Il
Charxc for Hauling h70ils

Orders Reduction In
Chargc for Hauling Mails
A general order has been issued by thu
Postof1ice Department which will result
in reducing the compensation enjoyed
by the railroads for carrying the mails
by at least $1,00O,O00 annually. In con-
nection with the order it is limited that
there may be a scandal if all the facts
which made the issuance Of the order q
necessity become known.
The order in question affects several
hundred mai! routes in the country and
is to the effect that on these routes the
mail can be carried in smaller cars than
the railroads are using. 1t is therefore
ordered that a reduction either be made
in the size of the cars or II the railroads
choose to continue their use they will get
paid for the size of cars actually needed
On the other hand, the railroads insist
that it is the province of the Postofhcs
Department to designate the cars which
shall be used on the mail routes and that
the roads are now using such cars as
were actually ordered by the department.
Department officials admit that this is
true, but insist that more space is being
paid for by the department than is actu-
ally needed in the transportation OF the
mails, but it is not stated whether this
condition is the result of poor judgment
or otherwise. The new order is the re-
suit of the work of 125 private detectives
which the Postoffce Department placed
| on the work about six months ago. Their
! reports show that in hundreds of cases
! the government was paying for more
space than is necessary and the Postmas-
ter General therefore ordered a reduction.
Besides the regular compensation based
upon tonnage which the railroads receive
for transporting the mails they also re-
| ceive car mileage for cars over thirty
| feet in length.
The Postofice Department has decided
to begin weighing the mail on all routes
in the country early in October with a
view of furnishing Congress with data
asked for. In order to do so the govern
ment will have to provide thousands Of
additional scales.

ReDort on City Ownership.

The investigation of public ownership
of public utilities in Europe and this
country by the National Civic Fedora
TONS commission has resulted in two re-
ports, one by Prof. Jehn r.. Commons OF
Wisconsin university favorable to the
proposition and the other by j. w. Sulli-
van of the Clothing Trades Bulletin dis
approving. Prof. Commons says they
found the privately owned utilities In
England dividing surplus for civic bet
terments because of the prevailing ten
dency toward public ownership and its
example in cities where it had been
adopted. Many have shrewdly arranged
c~opartnership plans and have recognized
the labor unions. He is convinced that
the recognition of the union Is the safe
guard against political corruption in pub
lie ownership and that private ownership
| offers no escape from politics. Editor
Sullivan says that in all but the most
| poorly paid forms of labor public owner
ship has not raised or improved condl-
lions of work. He contends that in Eng
land no street car business has ever been
a private enterprise, in the sense that the
| word is used in this country, thus making
comparison with American conditions I'M
fair. Taking Syracuse, Allegheny and
Wheeling as the best samples of Amerl-
| can manipulation offered, they found
conclusive evidence of political rotten
ness in each case. He regards 1t as a
project to restrict men in their activl-
ties by methods foreign to the American

City.
The excitement caused in New York
by the recent atToeiou5 crimes against
women and children was greatly in
creased Thursday by the discovery
of the body OF an S-year-old girl In
the cellar of an east side tenement.
The child had been assaulted and
murdered.
The body of the child was identified
as Katie D~ritschler, daughter of n
German waiter. She had been miss
ing for a week.
An examination of the body showed
she was killed in exactly the same
manner as Sophie Kohrer was muir
dered. Deeply imbedded in the flesh
of her neck was found a hair rib
bon, probably taken from her own
hair. drawn and tightly knotted.
The indications hat the child was
chicken to death, taken in connection
with the murder Of Sophie Kohrer
and of an unidentified woman by
strangulation, lead the police to be-
lieve there is a maniac at large in the
city who posses an insane impulse to
kill women and children by the same
method.

Rockefeller Raps UNIVERSITY.

The faculty and students of the Uni
versity of Chicago have been much STIR
red up by the reported criticism made
by John D. Rockefeller while he was in
Chicago to attend court as a witness. In
reply to a question as to what he thought
of the university's work, the oil king is
reported as saying 1.-THE only regret I
nave concerning the university is that
there are not as many men as successful
as l hoped there would be after their
schooling there. But l am advised by
some of my friends that the future may
show better results than the present. If
the future will show that it was a wise
undertaking, I shall be satisfied In
reply to these remarks, the members Of
the faculty are disposed to question the
Interpretation which Mr.. Rockefeller
makes of the word success. If he means
the ability to make money, they admit
t'r" not so many of the graduates have
L successful as might be desired. But
maintain that making money does
not necessarily mean success. The I'M
preston prevails among the student body
that the founder and bcnefactor of the
great institution has been displeased by
numerous radical doctrines preached by
certain members Of the faculty, it being
recalled that frequently monopolies like
the Standard Oil Company have been as

of New York county for the appointment
of a referee to take testimony on his
