MAIL STATISTICS
POSTAL BUDGET AS PREPARED IN
THE HOUSE.
LARGE SUM IS CALLED FOR

Would Increase Pay Of Clerks and Car.
riers-Postmaster General Reports
Amount Of Second Glass Matter
Handled at One Cent a Pound.
Washington.-The postoffice appro
priation bill, which the House commit
tee on postoffices and post roads
have prepared will carry $209,1S0,,
561. This is the largest amount
ever carried for the annual ex-
penditures Of the postal service. The
total recommended in the bill Is more
than 100000 in excess Of the amount
estimated for by the department, and
Is an increase of $17,509,562 over the
current appropriation.
The salaries of postal clerks and OF
both city and rural carriers are In
creased to a total of $7,000,000. A
provision is inserted in the bill for the
classification Of postal clerks and the
positions of clerks and carriers are
made interchangeable.
There are various provisions in the
bill intended to reduce the pay to rail-
roads for carrying the mails. 1t is es-
timated that this reduction will
amount to something like $12,000,000
year. The rate for hauling daily
from 5000 to $4,000 pounds is reduced
five per cent. from $4,000 to $4,000
pounds ten per cent. and the present
rate of $21.37 per ton for amounts
above $4,000 pounds is reduced to $19
These reductions, it Is estimated, Will
amount to 100000 year. A saving
of 100000 more is estimated as
result of reductions in railroad post
Cffice pay. The bill cuts of all pay to
loads for hauling empty mail sacks
which is estimated will save between
SO 100000 and $4,000.000 year. The
requirement that the mails shall be
weighed seven days a, week and the
bmount divided by seven instead OF sis
hs heretofore, provision placed IN
he bill to-day at the suggestion OF Rep
resentative Murdock of Kansas, Will, II
Is estimated, save $5,000,000.

STOLE $500
Jack Smoth Accused of Stealing That
Amount I'm Ogden.

Jack Smoth, for some time employed
in the Vienna restaurant at Ogden, was
placed under arrest In this city last
evening by officer Mike Malone of the
Junction city police force. The charge
against Smoth is that of embezzling $500
from the restaurant, and the probabih-
ties are that he will also have TO an
swer to the charge of criminal con-
duct with 16-year-old girl named Rose
Raleigh, also of Ogden
The girl was employed as cashier at
the restaurant, and was recently ar
rested on the charge of appropriating
$500 from her employers,
When questioned by the police she
finally admitted that she took the
money but declared that Smoth was
the instigator OF the crime and that
she gave him $500 of the money. Smoth
then came TO Salt Lake, and between
and o'clock last evening officer Ma
lone arrived and began to search for the
man. Malone was about 10 give up
the search last evening, when suddenly
he found Smoth in a Second South
street saloon, and at once placed him
under arrest. The fellow protested his
innocence, but the officer claims there
is clear case against him, onicer
Malone took his prisoner 10 Ogden last
night.

GUESS ON THE WEATHER.

As was intimated In last evenings
News" the high barometrlc pressure
from tho northwest, dropped down into
this latitude. and forced back the Low
area approaching from the west, so that
the latter is stationary over the south
west. There are three high area CEN
tors extending from the Both to the 50th
parallel OF latitude. and covering most
of the United States today, and as long
as this condition obtains, there Is a
possibility of the western low area be-
ing switched around through the south
to the Gulf of Mexico. In the mean
time rain is reported falling along tho
Colorado river watershed making
things interesting for the engineers who
are trying to turn the current of the
river away from the Salton Sea. Low
temperatures are obtaining up north,
the mercury falling as low as "a degrees
below zero

One case has already been ordered
dismissed. The old charge of disturb
ing the peace and quiet of the prisoners
in the county jail, which was recently
dug up, has been so ordered. Hear
ing of this case was set for tomorrow.

made a motion in which he asked that
the matter be dismissed, and the order
was promptly made by Judge Diehl
The cases OF grand larceny, threatening
