he knew the Mullins girl but Snalley
denied later that he knew her.
Snialley denies that he is Il native of
New Fountlland or Nova Scotia, as
was at first reported He says he was
never in New Foundland, but has been
in the maratime provinces. He met his
wife, who was Miss Addie Clark of
Prince Edward Island, at Halifax.
Smalley says he was born in Water
bury, VT, % years ago. He came to
Boston five years ago to find work.
Later he was a strike breaker during
the Transfers strike. Two years ago
he became manager of the Cascade no.

returned from Maine this spring he
heard that his wife was employed near
Bedford and he claims that it was
for she for whom he was searching

He insists that he asked for either
Addie Snalley or Addie Clark, he did
not remember which. The chief of po-
lice IN Bedford and the drug clerk who
claims that a stranger asked for Annie

G. w. Young. the drug clerk of
Bedford. whose description of Smalley
led to his arrest, identified Smalley as
one of the two men who called at the
store and asked about a woman.
Young said on examination, however.
that he was not certain as to the name
of the woman inquired for and that
Smalley may have asked him about
Ada Smalley instead of Annie Mullins.
Young admitted that since hearing
about the murder he had said that the
imam with the cast in his eye" who
was in the store had asked for Annie
Mullins Mr.. Young explained this by
saying that, while he did not remem-
Der clearly the name of the woman
for whom Smalley inquired, he had
thought after hearing a great deal
about the murder mystery that it
might have been Annie Mullins.
Although Chief Urquhart was prac-
tically convinced tonight that Smalley
could throw no light on the murder he
decided to keep him in custody until
tomorrow morning. when the Bedford
chief of police will go to Arlington.

With only one vote recorded against it,
that of Mr.. Littlefield of Maine, the
House of Representatives today, under
suspension Of the rules, passed the Ster-
ling employers liability bill, after 40 min
utes' debate. In brief the bill establish
es the doctrine that the railroad compa-
MES engaged in interstate commerce are
liable for personal injuries received by
employees in the service of such carriers.
1t abolishes the strict common law rule
of liability which bars q recovery for the
personal injury or death of an employee
occasicned by the negligence of q fellow
servant. 1t also reaxes the common law
rule which makes contributory negligence
a defence to claims for such injuries. "A
provision, however, diminishes the
amount of the recovery in the same de-
gree that the negligence of the injured
one contributed to the injury. The bill
further makes each party responsible for
his own negligence and requires each to
bear the burden thereof.
The bill as passed by the. House was
transmitted to the Senate later in the day
and on motion of Senator Dolliver was
laid on the table, subject to being called
up at any time. Mr.. Dolliver explained
that the bill is quite similar to the meas
ure reported to the Senate from the com
mittee on education and labor.
Mr.. Dolliver probably will move to SUBJ
stitnte the Senate measure for the House
bill and after the Senate acts VIII then
leave to conferees the task Of agreeing
upon compromise measure.
The House bill is much more sweeping
than the Senate bill. as 1t applies to all
applies only to common carriers by rail-
road" #

WOULD WIPE OUT DEFICIT
Postmaster General Urging Upon
Congress Necessity of Rural
Parcels Post.

Washington, April l9.-The postmas-
ter general is calling the attention of
congress to the fact that the establish
ment of a special local parcels post on
rural routes would wipe out the postal
deficit, says a statement given out at
the postoffice department today, land
would tend TO make the rural free de-
livery self-sustaining, besides being a
boon to the farmers and the retail
county merchant. There are now in
operation 39,03S rural routes, serving a
population of 100000 people. and
should an average of five eleven pound
packages be carried on each trip
through the year it is estimated that
SIS, 100000 would be realized, and the
net return to the government would be
more than sufficient to equal the de-
felt
a statement issued by the postmas-
ter general giving the postal receipts
for March. 1907, shows a decrease of
$260.957. or 311 per cent, at the fifty
largest postoffices.
Postal receipts at fifty of the princi-
pal pOstoffices during the five months
preceding March last. as compared with
the corresponding months a year ago,
are: October $50 per cent increase;
November II per cent decrease; De-

LOGAN DEMOCRATIC CLUB
ORGANIZATION Perfected and Officers
Chosen-Branch Organizations
in Every Precinct.

Logan, April 1.-THE Young Mems
Democratic club of Cache county was
organized here tonight. at a meeting OF
Democrats assembled from all parts of
the county. Frank n. Nebeker, national
committeeman, presided over the meet
ing, and G. l.. Olsen was secretary.
In taking the chair Mr.. Nebeker made
a ringing speech, in which he took is
sue with b. H. Roberts and other Demo-
Gratis who have mentioned the church in
reference issue already. He said he
hoped that we might be able to con-
duct the fight this year without once
mentioning the name of the Mormon
church. The fight over church dictation
is now in the Republican ranks; let ii
stay thrre. and let Republicans waste
their energy in settling il. Good politi-
cal management demands that Democrats
let that issue alone.
A constitution and bylaws were adop-
ted which fix an initiation fee of 81 and
an annual fee or dues of 81. The follow
ing officers were chosen: President,
George w. Skidmore of Logan; secretary,
Frank w Thatcher IF Logan; treasurer,
d II. Thomas of Logan. These three
officers, with J. w Frank of Richmond
and f. r. Owen of Wellsville, form the
executive committee. There VIII be
branch organizations in every precinct,
and the presidents of these branch or
PLANTATIONS will form the central or con-
trolling committee of the organization.
