FOR PARCELS POST.
Strong Appeal From Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General.

Washington Dec. 1.-Touching the
heart of the agricultural communities
in every state of the union, the annual
report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General P. V. De Graw announces in
creased usefulness of the rural free de-
livery service and the unprecedentel
bringing of the work of the bureau up
to date and recommends rural delivery
of packages of eleven pounds maximum
at special postage and the uniforming
of rural carriers. The package provision
suggested requires congressional legis-
lation and is designed to be effective
between tic distributing postoffice and
the patrons of any rural route emanar-
ing from such postoff1ce.
Such a service. according to the re-
port, would benefit alike the rural de-
livery patrons and local merchants
without injury or competing with any
other service. 1T can be giVen,' adds
Mr.. De Graw. with the facilities now
employed and would materially in
crease the revenues of the department
A special reduced rate of postage for
merchandise carried only by rural car
riers would unquestionably be of ma
terial value to the retail merchants on
rural routes and at rural delivery dis
tributing centers as we'll as enhance
the influence of the rural service in
making life in the country more at
tractive."
Rural carriers at present are not per-
mitted to carry for hire any matter or
package that is mailable, but congress
increased the salaries of the carriers.
The demand for a package service by
them, fostered in the first years of free
delivery, still exists. 1t should be met,
according to Mr.. De Graw not in the
old way. which permitted the use of the
governments agency for private gain,
but by the establishment of a system
for the carriage of merchandise by
rural carriers at such rates as will be
fair compensation for the service per-
formed, the revenues to be credited to

UNITED STATES WINS.
International Golf Game Played at
Hot Springs, Va.

Hot Springs, Va, Dec. Am in
ternational golf game was played
here between the presfdent-elect of
the United States and Senator Bourne
of Oregon on one side, and r. S.
Borden. conservative leader of the
Canadian parliament and G. H.
Pearley, conservative member of the
same body, on the other. The United
States won by a score of eight up.
Another contest will take place today
with the same alignment.
Judge Taft admitted that he was
receiving numerous suggestions from
many sources as to who should be in
the cabinet But I notice that very
few suggestions are coming regarding
the state department portfolio" he
added.
Judge Taft was greatly affected by
the news of the death of Richard
Lindsay in Washington. Mr.. Lind
say, an old friend of Mr.. Taft as
Washington correspondent had been
with him a greater part of the time
during the campaign. After the
election Mr.. Lindsay came here on
the initiative of the president-elect.
Before he left here i'll, on Thanks
giving day Mr.. Taft spent some time
in his room at the hotel. Dick was
one of the fine men we meet in life,
who give us a higher regard for HUI
man nature" was the sorrowful COM
ment of Mr.. Taft.

wards. The name Euclid was given
as a compliment to the ancient Euclid.
City Engineer Rodgers got the joke joy
last night and sprung new one in
the council chamber when he said:
The new park being right triangle
beautifully illustrates the forty-seventh
problem in Euclid"
The councilmen did not laugh be-
cause they were well acquainted with
the forty-seventh problem in Euclid or
because they had the faintest idea what
Euclid was or who he was but they re-
lied upon the expert wisdom of the city
engineer and gave him the glad hand.
Very little objection was made to
the new park proposition fast night. All
of the members of the ways and means
committee approved and Mayor Green
was heartily in favor of the plan. In
other words Topeka will have a new
park before the hot summer sets in.

ROB CROWDED CAR.
Four Highwayman Make a Big Haul
in New York.

New York, Dec. -Four despera-
does armed with revolvers held up a
crowded street car in lower Third ave-
nue. today, throttled and robbed the
conductor, terrorized the passengers
and escaped with a goodly collection
of purses and other valuables. A large
number of men and women who had
just left a dance hall crowded on the
car at Third street. Every seat was
taken and the aisle was filled.
Just before the car reached Houston
street and while the conductor was in
side collecting fares four men who
had been scattered through the crowd,
started towards the rear door. When
they had completely blocked the exit
the men drew reyolvers and covered
the passengers. Two of them attacked
the conductor, one pressing a revolver
against his head while the other push
ed him through a window and rifled
his pockets. In the meantime the 9TH
er two had been going through the
passengers, gathering up valuables of
all descriptions. Their pockets were
stuffed with women's purses, watches,
and small wads of bills when the
screams of the women so frightened
them that they bolted from the car
and dashed down side street into the
heart of the crowded Sums When
policemen started in pursuit the rob-
bers had a lead which made capture
practically impossible.
