When a certain country storekeeper,
who was also the postmaster OF the
borough, began the transaction OF bust.
ness one morning about a year ago he
found that the safe In which were kept
the postage stamps had been robbed
during the night and promptly reported
the matter TO the proper authorities.
The latter decided, after an investIga
tlon, that restitution should be made
for the stolen stamps, but that the ex-
pense OF repairing the damage to the
safe would have to be borne by the
storekeeper, which was accordingly
done.
Some time later second robbery
was committed and reported, as before.
~ the result Of which there was an.
other Investigation, which disclosed
the fact that the stamps had been alb
stracted on this occasion without any
violence TO the safe.
"But how was 1t doneT asked the
Inspector, somewhat puzzled. THE
safe does not seem to be injured at all"
II made up my mind I would not be
caught again" replied the postmaster
gyIy. II left 1t open"

SITUATION At GOLOF|ElD
Miners Can Go to Work at the Re-
dueed Scale or Remain Out
as They See Fit.
Especial to The Herald. }

Goldfield, New, Feb. bat a late
hour this afternoon George Bop, a
union miner who has been out with
the strikers, was severely injured by
the explosion of dynamite in a stove
in which he was building a fire in
his home at 420 Oak street He is ly-
ing in a precarious condition at the
Minern' Union hospital. The presence
of the explosive in the stove is still
unexplained, and no reason has been
offered for any one attempting Bop's
life.
Rumors have been circulated per-
sistently today to the effect that the
local miners union had decided to call
off the strike, providing the mine own
ers would agree to re-eSta bliSh the
former wage scale. 1t is said that a
fat scale of $3.50 would be agreeable
to many, and might bring about a gen.
eral settlement. Many union men are
urging that a compromise be effected.
C. Z. Mahoney, vice president of the
Western Federation of Miners, re-
turned to Goldfield yesterday from
Denver. In an interview Mr.. Mahoney
said: Il returned to Goldfield for the
purpose of going over the strike sit
uation here again, and arranging to
further finance the local union / am
really to meet a delegation from the
Mine Owners association and treat
with them regarding the situation. If
they are disposed to be fair a settle
ment might be effected"
Walton e. DOwlen. president of the
Mine Operators association, states
that the operators viii not recognize
the federation nor will any change be
made in the wage scale. There is
nothing to hinder the men from re-
turning to work at the amended scale
now in force.

CONTRACT WILL
EXPIRE MARCH |
John Hays Hammond to Retire
From Employ of Gug-
genheimS.

New York, Feb. BIT is stated Of
ticially that John Hays Hammond, the
mining engineer, has severed his con-
nection with the Guggenheim Explora-
ton company, by which he was en-
ployed at d salary said to be $780, 900
a year. Mr.. Hammond, it is said. will
be succeeded by A. Chester Beatty,
who was his first assistant and who
has done most of the work of the posi-
ton since Mr.. Hammond went west for
his health several months ago. He was
operated on for appendicitis yesterday
at San Francisco. 1t is possible that
his retirement from the Guggenheim
enterprises marks the end of active
work for Mr.. Hammond along the lines
in which he has been notably success
full. In addition to his work in this
country, Mr. Hammond was formerly
known as the greatest expert on gold
mining in South Africa.
San Francisco, Feb. 13.-John Hays
Hammond, through his private secre-
tary. denied this morning that he had
severed his connection with the Gug-
genheims. His contract with the min
ing magnates does not expire until
March l, and there will be no decision
as to its renewal or cancellation until
that time. The secretary said the ope-
ration for appendicitis had been very
successful and that Mr.. Hammond
hoped soon to be in the best of health
He plans greater activity in the mining
field than ever after his convalescence

Mcpherson filed he alleged that the

lation of this provision of the federal
statutes is 500.
Hurts Sale of Stamps.
Colonel Holmes. pOstoffice inspector in
charge, said:
The government is very jealous of its
right to carry the mails, and insists on it
always. When public carriers carry let
ters not bearing postage stamps and not
pertaining to the business OF the carrier
they are preventing the government from
deriving postage money from the sale OF
stamps.
About four o. five years ago the gov
eminent Waged war against carriers for
such offenses. Ii is the opinion of the
government officials that common car
riers are becoming too lax in reference
to carrying mail matter not properly
stamped. and that prosecution of . few
cases is necessary to bring to their at
tention the fact that they are violating
the law.

Republican Program.

Washington. Feb. 13.-According TO a
program being arranged by the SEN
ate Republican leaders, a vote will be
had on the Aldrich currency bill IN
about two weeks. The indications are
that there will not be a large number
of Republican senators to speak to the
measure, and that the speeches by the
Democrats will be addressed carefully
to objections raised by individuals to
certain features of the bill Senator
Clay of Georgia expects to talk tomor-
row.
Senator Clark of Arkansas will speak
early next week, and Senators Gull
berson, Teller, Daniel, Tillman and
Bailey within the next ten days. From
present indications Senator Hepburn
is the only Republican senator who
plans to make extended remarks
against the passage of the bill.

DISCUSSION OF

Senators Entertain Different
Opinions Regarding Use of
National Bank Reserves.
VOTE EXPECTED SHORTLY
cULBERsoN GIVES NOTICE OF
AMENDMENTS.
VOTE EXPECTED SHORTLY

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Ray
ner today reverted to a controversy
that occurred during his speech in the
senate yesterday. concerning condi-
tiOns under which national banks may
allow their reserves to fall below the
legal limitation of Is per cent of their
deposits, and the senate entered upon
debate on this simple banking prac-
tice, which called to their feet many of
the leaders on both sides. Finely drawn
interpretations were suggested con-
corning the meaning of a reserve
Mr.. Rayner, referring to statements
made yesterday, said that reserves
could be used to pay the obligations of
bank, but could not be used to make
loans To a banks customers.
Violation of the Law.
Senator Clapp declared that the use
of the reserve for any purpose is in
of the currency" he added, may at
times be blind to such violations OF
law 1 am old-fashioned enough to be-
lieve the law ought to be obeyed, and
the government should not wink at a
violation Of the law"
Being appealed to, Mr.. Aldrich stat
ed that without doubt the reserve could
be used for any liabilities of the bank
in an emergency.
Argument by Bailey.
The use of the word emergency"
was the basis for a long argument by
Senator Bailey, who insisted that the
reserve could be used to pay depositors
at any time, whether or not there was
any special emergency" The state
ment being made by Mr.. Bailey that
banks usually keep close to the legal
reserve. Senator Flint of California
said the practice of banks is to keep
ordinarily at least 25 per cent of their
deposits in reserve, and such is the
rule of clearing houses.

dist minister and the lifelong friend of
the Rev. Mr.. Hamilton, sat with avert
ed face as the letters were read to-
day.
Opinion of AIienist.
Following the reading of the letters
a hypothetical question of $500 words
was read to DR.. Archibald Church of
Chicago, an alienist The question
dealt mainly with the unsigned letters
attributed to Mrs. Hamilton
DR.. Church was asked whether. in
his opinion, if man received such let
tiers and made nOtations found on
them, such as "the best letter she has
ever written and very important. ="
and this is a sweet one he could be
considered sane
The question also recited Colonel
SHELLS alleged dislike for his own son
Richard and his lavish gifts to Mabelle
Smell Mcnamara of Kansas City. his
favorite grandniece.
After hearing the question DR..
Church said he considered Colonel
Smell a paranoiac, subject to "exag-
gerated ego"
