GOODBYE TO OOBB|N DEAR
ELECTRIC RUNABoUTS FOR COL
LECTING MAIL OF CITY.
Service Begins Today and IT'S
Thought Will Be Speedier and
More Efficient.

Five electric runabouts, for which, with
chauffeurs to run them. the Post ONCE
Department has contracted for use In the
collection Of city mails to supplant the
present horse and wagon system. were re-
ceived at the city post Office yesterday,
and will at once be put into commission.
These will be supplemented August Is by
two motor cars provided and run by let
ter carriers, an allow ance for the same
having been made. When all are in oper-
alton eight men and twelve horses will
be saved in the city mail collection serv-
ice.
The new runabouts are black with large
green panels bearing the inscription u.
s. Mail" Their running gear is red.
W. H. Haycock. superintendent of city
delivery, said yesterday that IT Is the
present purpose to use three OF the runa-
bouts In the morning and three In the
evening for collection purposes.
The car attached 10 the main office will
collect the mails in the district around Du-
pont Circle; the one attached TO station
O. will cover the territory north or III
street and between North Capitol and
9th streets northwest, while the one at
tached to Station B. on Capitol Hill. will
cover an outlying belt of wide territory.
Al present the collections made by the
wagon attached to Station G are brought
into the station, and thence sent TO the
city main office. When the electric runa-
about begins service. the collections. as
fast as made. will be at once turned In at
the main Office, thus saving delay.
The runabout attached to the Capitol
Hill station will do away with the service
of seven horses and one man.
The collectors on the wagons will not
be removed from the mail service. but will
reinforce the delivery contingent and en-
able substa ntial improvements In that
branch to be made.

GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ALONG THE RIVER FRONT

While no decision has been. reached by
the local steamboat companies that
month ago closed the bars on their
steamers. while In the waters of the Dis
trict of Columbia. In consequence of
threatened prosecution by the District
authorities for selling liquor without
license, it Is thought that the bars will
shortly be reopened in view of the fact
that the legal officials of the District have
decided that the excise board has no au-
thority to issue license to keep a bar
on the river.
The legal advisers of the steamboat
companies take the view that as the
excise board has no authority to issue a
license on the river. the District cannot
prosecute for keeping a bar without q
license, as the District is not a local op-
ton community. and that the United
States revenue license is all that Is nee
essary in order to comply with the law
