Washington, Sept. 3O.-Officials at
the postoffice. department propose to
find out how much time the postmas-
tiers of country offices devote to their
official duties. Frequent. complaint has
reached the department that postmas
tiers spend more of their time with
their private business and in poll
tics than they do in their postoffices.
All postmasters in the first, second
and third classes are supposed to de-
For the purpose of finding out just how
much time they do spend there, First
Assistant Postmaster General Hitch
cock today directed to each this in
quiry:
"What are the average number of
hours devoted to the Postmaster daily
to his official duties?"
This query goes direct to the post
masters themselves. Ordinarily they no
doubt would report big average, but
in this instance they will be rather
cautious because the postoffice de-
partment has received reports from the
inspectors on nearly all offices showing
the number of hours the postmasters
put in. I'd. ~ -.
If the postmasters attempt to stretch
the hours of their service they will be
called down, and if they report about
the same average as given by the
inspectors they will be told to spend
more time in their offices.

HAWAIIAN IS A WONDER.
Imported to Serve on San Francisco
Team He AstOnishes the Natives.

Bakersfield, Cal, April 3.-Barney
JOY, a native-born Hawiian, the first
baseball player ever imported into the
United States, has arrived here and has
joined the members of the San Fran
cisco baseball team now training in
this city.
Members of a theatrical company
recommended Joy to Manager Danny
Long and he received a contract to
play in the Pacific Coast league this
season.
The Kanaka is giant, weighing 225
pounds, and is "a years of age. He is
a southpaw twirler and in the first two
innings of the game Sunday he struck
out the first five men up, fielded his
position in a perfect manner and dis
played an excellent knowledge of the
game. Charles Street, who caught his
delivery, had his hands full, for the
Honolulu boy was full of speed and
pitched marvellous curve that broke
suddenly and fooled the batter.
JOY looks like a great find and will
surely be in the National league if he
keeps up his speed like the sample he
gives in practice. Manager Long and
Captain kid" Mohler are highly
pleased with the lad from the sugar
cane plantation.

There was positively nothing by
which the body could be identified, and
the fact that the destruction of the
body was so complete leads to the
fact that some unknown person took
this means OF committing suicide.
The only other possible clew to the
identity of the dead man is the fact
that the accident occurred in the vi
entity Of the cement works and he
might possibly be an employ ethere.
Today the roll OF employees at the
Burlington plant will be gone over and
an effort will be made to determine
whether the dead man was an employee
of that concern.
