POSTMASTER GENERAL
ON PARCELS POST
Voices His Ideas on Parcels Post
Question and Also on Postal
Savings Banks.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2S-Post-
master General George Won L. Meyer,
at dinner at the Union league club
tonight, made an address in which he
called attention to recommendations
which he proposes making in his an
nual report for the consideration of
the next congress. On the question
of parcels post, he said:
II shall recommend the same rate,
2 cents a pound, and the same limit,
of weight for parcels, whether intend
ed for points in this country or
abroad, which means a reduction of
cents a pound and an increase in
the maximum weight to eleven
pounds"
Taking up the rural parcels post
question, he said:
Il shall recommend a parcels post
system on the rural delivery routes,
a special rate to be charged on pack
ages for delivery from the distribut-
ing Offices of the rural route, or If
mailed by patron of any rural route
for delivery to a patron on the same
route or at the distributing Office of
said route. The rate would be 5
| CcntS lOG tnc llISi pOunu ana Z CelltS
for each additional pound up to elev-
en- pounds. This will be great boon
to the farmers.
Regarding postal savings banks,
the postmaster general said:
'An an evidence that it is not the
desire of the government to compete
with the private savings banks in OBJ
tanning deposits of the people, | shall
advocate rate of interest of per
cent per annum, or | per cent semi
annually, and a limit of $500, not
more than $3.50 to be deposited in
any one year. My own belief is that,
far from its being detriment to the
established banks, it would be in the
end an advantage. Now, in order to
get this money back into the channels
of trade, | purpose to ask congress
for authority to place the savings in
the national banks

Will Give No Aid in Any Manner
To the Foreign Element
in This Camp.
WILL HELP ALL EMPLOYERS
Would SuppIant Misery Aliens With
Men Who Upbuild Com
munity.

ELY an American Camp was the
slogan adopted by the Ely Boosters
club at their regular meeting last
night. The club pledged itself at
this meeting to give no assistance in
any manner to any but American la
borers, miners and working men
seeking positions here.
The club will use every effort to
discourage the employment of foreign
labor in any capacity.
The committee on information and
labor has been instructed to ask all
employers of labor in the district
tributary to Ely, to give employment
to American labor in preference to
foreign labor, and will agree to Sc
cure only American workmen for po-
sitions here.
The committee now has orders for
800 workmen, with the distinct un-
derstanding that they will attempt to
furnish none but Americans for the
places.
During the discussion of the mat
ter, prior to the adoption of the reso-
luton, there were number of in
teresting talks on the comparative
values Of American and foreign la
borers TO the employers and to the
camp.
1t was shown that the average for
eign laborer is a miser that he does
not spend tenth of his earnings In
the place where he is employed, that
he does not contribute to the welfare
or prosperity of any camp and that he
is menace to the health of COM
munity.
The discussion was of a most in
teresting character, and was Joined in
by employers and employed.
A committee was also appointed to
extend to the Salt Lake Telegram,
the Ogden Standard and the Salt
Lake Mining Review, the thanks of
the club for the help they have given
this camp, and for the publicity they
have given to the american labor
idea.

BURGLARS FRIGHTENED
BY CH|LDRENS' CRIES
MISTAKE BEDROOM DOOR FOR
ENTRANCE TO JEWELRY
STORE AND ARE FOILED.

An Intellectual attempt was made
by two burglars to break into the
Ely jewelry store on Aultman street
adjoining the Oldfield hotel a short
time past midnight Monday morn
ing.
That the attempt was futile, is due
to two circumstances. The first was
that the burglars attacked door of
the hotel instead of the jewelry
store, and the second was that they
were heard by two children sleeping
in the hotel who shouted for help
and thus frightened the men away.
The children were awakened by
some one attempting to force the
door of their room. One of the men
was heard to urge the other to burst
the door down without making any
more noise than possible. The other
insisted that the first one do the
trick, as he was more fami lar with
the place.
The efforts to open the door were
renewed, when the children screamed
for help. and the wouldbe burglars
fled. One of the pair had a heavy
ulster and the other wore no over
coat Owing to the darkness it was
! impossible to get good description
of the men.
There have been number of
| burglaries within the last few nights
and householders are warned to take
special precautions against thieves.

TEX RICHARD IS SUED
BY PETER WEISS ON DEAL
Mining Promoters Fall Out Over
Stock Dickers-Silent Part
nership Alleged.

Tex Rickard was made the defend
ant in civil suit which was filed In
the district court yesterday by Peter
Weiss, better known as Dutch Pete"
Weiss. The suit is to recover money
alleged to be due on stock specula-
tions in which they are alleged to
have been engaged as partners.
In the first action, Weiss alleges
that in September, 1906, he and
Rickard entered a partnership to ac-
quire stock in the Salt Lake Ely
Copper company, and to contribute
equally to the cost of the stock.
They acquired $4,000 shares of the
stock according to the plaintiff. Ac-
cording to the complaint, the alleged
partnership was to have been silent
one on Richards part, Rickard to
sell the stock.
After the stock was issued, ac-
cording to the complaint, Weiss en-
dorsed it and turned it over to Rick
ard to SELL In January of this year.
Weiss alleges, Rickard sold 10000
shares to A. D. Myers for sum that
is not known to the plaintiff, but
which he alleges was not less than
$4,000.
WclSS dllCScS tittt HC btiiVNt9
Rickard has sold the remaining 90
900 shares but he claims that he does
not know to whom it was sold, nor
what was realized on the sale.
He says that he has frequently de-
manded settlement but the defend
ant has refused to settle. He asks
for an accounting and for Judgment
in just amount. He also demands
that the alleged partnership be dis
solved.
In the other alleged cause of ac-
tion, Weiss alleges that on Novem-
ber 8, 1906, he, at the request of
Rickard, sold to him, 1900 shares of
the capital stock of the Ely Western
Copper company, at so cents per
share. The defendant. Weiss alleges,
has paid only $400 of this amount,
and he demands judgment in the sum
of $3.50 with interest at the rate of
Z per cent per annum since Novem-
ber 3, 1906, with costs of the action
and attorneys fees.

"COXEYS ARMY LEADER
PROSPEROUS NEVADA MINER
Located at Fairview and May Finance
Lecturing Tour From
Property.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2S-J. S.
CoXey, the man who led an army of
unemployed men to Washington thir-
teen years ago, is in San Francisco
on visit. He arrived last night and
registered at the st. Francis.
He owns stone quarry at Massilon,
o. To-day he owns the COXey Gold
and Silver Mining Company at Fair
view, New, eighty miles from Reno,
and it is his hope to produce enough
from that promising property to
finance comprehensive personal
lecturing tour which he says will cost
100000, in his effort to reach the
people with a clear exposition OF his
theories.
Coxey is not man Of the tramp
class He is deep earnest thinker,
possessed of ideas which, off-hand
sound plausible as he explains tfem.
1t is his life's ambition and he is will
ing to spend all his own money to
give his ideas to the people.
81 have not come here on any poll
tical mission, nor to lead another
army" he said last night. 81 have
simply come here after visiting my
mine. l shall lead no more armies.

people shall advocate the principles

having enacted into law.
"The present financial trouble is
simply the natural result of doing
business on credit basis. For every
actual dollar of money there are $9
of credit. Credit became impaired
and money is tight because the banks
| fear a rum
Coxey's idea includes public own
ership of all utilities, with the Gov
ernment back of the necessary state
and municipal bond issues and paper
money advanced on bonds instead oi
delegated to the national banks.
