LESS PosToFFicE RECEIPTS
Decrease For March, 1908, Compared
With March, 1907, Was $26o,e57.

Washington, April 23.-The recent
decrease of s260.957 in the receipts of
fifty of the largest postoffices of the
country for March 1908, as against
March, 1907, will be used by Postmas-
ter General Meyer as an argument for
the enactment of a bill establishing a
parcels post on rural routes.
Mr.. Meyer is calling the attention
of congress to the idea that the estab-
hshment of special parcels post will
wipe out the postal deficit and tend to
make the rural free delivery service
self-sustainiug. besides being boon
to the farmer and the retail country
merchant.

OF |ND|AN' AFFAIRS
 AT YUMA
FRANCIS F. LEUPP SAYS THAT THIRTY THOUSAND RED MEN ARE NOW WARDS OF THE GOV ERNMENT.

YUMA, June 5.-To make the 300,. 900 Indians who are now wards of the government independent of Washington as fast as can be done with consistency, is the plan of the Hon. Francis E. Leupp, commissioner of Indian affairs since 1905, who arrived here yesterday morning to pay visit to the Fort Yuma Indian school, of which Miss Anna C. Egan is superintendent. One of the first questions MT. Leupp asked upon his arrival was about Miss Clara D. Prue, superintendent of the Moran go agency in California, who has had something of strenuous career with her people the past few days. CT am proud of my women," he said. "They are among my best uperintendents One of my most capable inspectors is a woman. I never have known them to fail the service at any crisis. :"
 "Of course," he continued, "I do not expect to see al of the Indians become independent of my administra ton or in the one to follow it, but in the end this must be done if the Indian is to become a useful citizen. Those tribes we have released have done well for themselves. Individuals have failed just as individual whites oftentmes are found in the community's poorhouse. v

JAPS CAUGHT
 BY INSPECTORS
VETERANS OF THE LATE WAR CROSSED THE LINE NEAR NO. GALES AND WE'RE MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE PACIFIC COAST.

TUCSON, June 5.-several days ago the local headquarters of the immigra, tion service received word from the outlying posts to the effect that it was reported some Japanese had succeeded in making their way across the inter national boundary into the United States, and immediately Inspector Mur- phy and Brazie were sent out on the case. As result of their activities six of the subjects of the Mikado were yes tcrday brought to this city and are now being held, awaiting a hearing as to their rights to be in the United States, It is probable they will be de- ported.
 west of Nogales, and, being unacquaint- cd with the country this side of the line, made their way to the Southern Pacific railroad, intending to follow it. They had been we'll posted by other Orientals in Mexico and only travelled during the night to avoid detection, and as daylight came on got away from the railroad as far as possible, usually hid ing in brush.
 Tho inspectors took the train going to a point west of Gila Bend, and then commenced working their way back. They finally ran across the Ori- cntals on the desert and took them into custody without any trouble. Going to the nearest railroad station, they took the train for Tucson.
 When questioned, the prisoners stated that four of them were on their way to California points, hoping to be over looked among tho large colony of Ori. entals, and two were going to Lower California. All of them are veterans of the Russo Japanese war. having served in the army of their country as pri- yates.
 It is believed that the Japs are some of those who have beeen coming north through Mexico during the past couple of months, seemingly for the purpose of watching their chance to get in the United States.
