Miss Gladys Hobart, a pretty school
teacher, is the complainant against
young Fullerton, and the affidavits in
the case, geographically as we'll as le-
gally, cover an amazing amount Of
ground-from the Pacific to the At

- Pittsburg, Pa, May II: 1t was an
nounced today that the United States
Steel corporation expected that by
July 10 or August there would be in
the Pittsburg district the greatest
boom in iron and steel making ever
known. Orders reached Pittsburg to-
day which were transmitted to the
superintendents and other officials in
the Carnegie Steel company. They
were briefly that those who intended
taking vacations should do so at once;
that after August l there would be no
time for vacations. Another solid

ing overtime to keep up with railway
construction of the far west. Grading

- Washington, May II: Informa-
ton having reached the postoftice de-
partment of certain methods by which
the postal laws in regard to mailable
and unavailable merchandise on rural
routes have been evaded, Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General De-
graw has taken steps to prevent fu-
ture evasions. Rural carriers are
permitted to deliver as express mat
ter for patrons Of their routes, un-
mailable merchandise, and packages
of mailable merchandise weighing in
excess of four pounds. An example
of a merchant who sent out by rural
carrier as mail matter, u pair of shoes,
TO which he added bag OF salt to
make the package overweight and to
avoid paying postage, SO that the car
rier might carry the package for
him. In view of such abuses Mr.. De-
graw has issued the following state
ment: All packages of merchan-
disc to be sent out by rural carriers
by merchants of the town should be
presented at postoftices for inspection
and in case it is found that extra
matter not ordered by the patrons
has been added to any mailable mat
ter or package for the purpose of
making such package of matter un-
