|SAY POSTAL JAW VIOLATED
SUIT FILED AGAINST AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY IN
 CINCINNATI.
FIRST MOVE IN CAMPAIGN
District Attorney Charges the United States Is Losing Through Com mon Carriers-Penalty for
 Violation stoo.

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 14.-Violation of the postal laws by carrying tlrst- class mail matter was charged against the American Express Co. in suit fild in the United States district court here yesterday by District Attorney McPherson.
 This suit was the first move in campaign which the government pro- poses to wage against common car riers on the charge of carrying first class mail matter contrary to law.
 In the petition which the attorney filed he alleged that the company Jan. 16 carried a letter from Texas to Gin cinnati. The letter was from Mrs. Will Brown of Belton, Tex, and in 1t she ordered from glove company twelve pairs of gloves, and inclosed an express money order for s2.47 in pay ment Attorney McPherson claims the letter did not relate to the business Of the express company and that the en- velope did not bear postage stamp, as required by law. The penalty for violation of this provision of the fed ra! statutes is $100
 Col Holmes, postoffiee inspector in charge, said:
 The government is very jealous Of its right to carry the mails and in- sists on it always" When public car riers carry letters not bearing post age stamps and not pertaining to the business of the carrier they are pre- venting the government from deriving postage money from the sale oi stamps.
 About five years ago the govern ment waged war against carriers for such an offense. It is the opinion of the government officials that common carriers are becoming too lax in refer ence to carrying mail matter not prop erly stamped, and that prosecution of a few cases is necessary to bring to their attention the fact that they are violating the law

INT CARRIES DINO SIAIE
NATIONAL DELEGATES CHOSEN
 WILL FAVOR SECRETARY.
HAS BUT VERY LITTLE OPPOSITION
vo-ys Predicts Cabinet Member Will Get Vote of Delegation
 of Forty-Six.

Columbus. O., Feb 12.-The net re- suit of the Republican primaries held throughout Ohio yesterday was in favor of William Taft. Four dele gates-at-large, twenty-two district dele gates to the National Convention in Chicago and a list of delegates 10 the State Convention, to be held March ;, which will be unanimously in his favor, were selected. Hardin County held no primaries.
 No opposition worth mentioning de veloped during the day The Supreme Court destroyed all chances of success by the Foraker element in Cuyahoga County by declaring that the Taft County Committee was the only valid organization of it's kind In that county and the selection of dele gates went by default, no ticket being placed in the field against the Taft candidate.
 Foraker in Background.
 Tn Knox County the opposition to Taft had brought an independent ticket into the field, the 'independ- ents,' however, being all Foraker men. The Taft candidates won easily the vote being about 1 to l in their favor. Actual voting for delegates to to the State Convention was carried on in but thirty.five out of the total of eighty-eight counties, the Taft dele gates in fifty-two counties having no opposition.
 It was the original intention 10 SC lect delegates to the National Conven- ton in the same manner, but later 1t was decided in order to avoid all chance of future complications to name the delegates at regular dis trict convention.
 Vory's Statement
 A statement was issued by Arthur l.. Vorys, manager of the Taft presidential campaign. The statement follows:
 "Ohio Is for Taft. The resultt of the primaries yesterday completes the demonstration. Every county, except one with seven delegates, now has selected its delegates to the State Convention. Every county has select ed Taft delegates. The State COnven- tion will be unanimously for Taft, for every one of the S15 delegates is for, and is instructed for, Taft. This un- animanity also demonstrates that ey- cry one of the forty-six delegtes to the National Convention will be for Taft. |"
