Hon. Newton Edmunds, ex-governor

following a series of paralytic strokes
with which he was attacked last sun

For forty-seven years he had been
closely associated with the territory
and state. In that time he saw all
the degrees of change from savagery
to civilization, from a land thai was
barren as the desert to the land that
blossoms as the rose.
Ex-Gov. Edmunds was born in Nj
agara county, N. Y, May 80, 1918. In
1892 he removed to Washtenaw
ty, Mich, where he lived until he was
appointed chief clerk in the surveyor

Violation OF the postal laws by car

charged against tho American Express
company in q suit filed In the United
States district court at Cincinnati. o.,
Thursday by District Attorney Nc
Pherson.
This suit was the first gun fired In
a campaign which the government
proposes to wage against common
carriers for carrying first class mail
matter contrary to lew. In the in
formation which Attorney Mcpherson
filed he alleges that the American
express company on IAN. 6 carried a
letter from Bolton. Tex, to Cincinnati.
The letter was from Mrs. Will Brown,
OF Bolton. and in II she ordered from
a glove company twelve pairs OF gloves
and enclosed an express money order
for $2.47 in payment.
Attorney Mcpherson claims that the
letter did not relate to the business
Of the express company and that the
envelope did not bear a postage stamp.
as required by law. The penalty for
violation of this provision of the fed
eral statutes is 800.
Col. Holmes, postofice inspector in
charge, said:
The government is very jealous of
Its rights to carry the mails, and in
sists on 1t always. When public car
riers carry letters not bearing postage
stamps and not pertaining to the busi-
ness of the carrier they are prevents
ing h government from deriving rev.
enue for the sale OF stamps.
About four or five years ago the
government waged war against car
riers for sue an ~offense. 1t is the
opinion Of the government officials
that common carriers are becoming
too lax In reference to carrying mail

prosecution OF a few cases is necessary
to bring to their attention the fact tina
they are violating the law"
