IN MANY CITIES

Washington, March 2,-Postmaster
General Meyer is of the opinion that
it is prejudicial to the welfare of
young America" to employ him as
a special delivery messenger in the
postal service and has issued an or
der to the effect that whenever a va
cancy occurs in the force of special
delivery messengers the position shall
not be filled and that substitute let
ter carriers and clerks shall be en-
ployed to effect special delivery,
Mr.. Meyer says that these messen-
ger boys are called upon frequently
to visit low resorts and are often
compelled to travel long distances
late at night in lonely outlying sec
tions of the great cities, falling to
make deliveries at time through fear
or weariness. The object of the Or
der is to bring about the gradual dis
continuance of the service OF these
| juvenile messengers.
! Special delivery messengers have
| been employed since 1885, and at
present there are 2,205 engaged at

/ Eighty-seven, 13 years; 167, IA years
! 3lS, IS years; 654, 16 years; 499, II

At Baltimore has reduced the force

view he enlisted under the banner OF
the Gold Democracy in the interest of
which he organized clubs and devel-
oped a sentiment throughout the ter
ritory. AS a result of his labors in
this line in later years he was made
a delegate to the national convention
at Indianapolis, to which he took a
full territorial delegation and which
resulted in the nomination of Palmer
and Buckner.
On the 18th of June, 1896, Mr..
Childers received the appointment TO
the office of United States attorney
for New Mexico from Grover Cleve-
land, in which place he was confirmed
by the Senate in December of the
same year. When William Mckinley
was nominated Mr.. Childers after due
deliberauon determined TO support
him, with the result that he ever
afterWard remained a member of the
Republican party, from which he was
reappointed to the United states at
torneyship and i'm which he continued
until 1905.
Mr.. Childers served as mayor OF
Albuquerque in 1887 and was also
member of the city council after the
municipal charter was granted. He
was also for eight years one OF the
regents of the University of New
Mexico.

UNIONS WILL FIGHT
CUT IN WAGES
Roads Will Have Hard Time Ad-
juSting Conditions Under New
Rule, Especially for Train OPP
erativeS--Skilled Men Hard
to Procure Just Now.

Washington, March 3.-The ma
tonal nine-hour law, governing rail-
road employees, becomes effective to-
morrow. The Baltimore & Ohio and
a few other roads have already
adopted the system.
The law limits the hours of SER
vice of all classes of train operatives,
particularly locomotive engineers and
iremen, train dispatchers, railway
photographers. tower men and signal
operators.
Many objections to the new law
have been filed with the Interstate
Commerce commission, and threats
have been made by railway officials
that the operation of the law will
necessitate a reduction in wages.
1t was pointed out that nine hours
constituted an unusual and awkward
period. as duties of that kind have TO
be performed "a hours every day. If
two shifts of train despatchers, tele-
graph operators and signal men each
worked nine, there would be a per-
iod of six hours in every "a which
could not be covered satisfactorily,
either to the men themselves or to
the railroads.
Difficult to Adjust.
1t was indicated that tricks Of
eight hours might be better for all
concerned, but for such period OF
work the men could not be paid
wages which they would regard al
adequate for their needs. And, In ad-
dition, it might be difficult to obtain
the services OF enough skilled mer
TO make up three shifts every "a
hours on all of the railroads in AM
erica.
Any attempt to cut the wages OF
the railroad men will be bitterly
fought by the American Federation
of Laobr and allied organizations. In
regard - the threatened reduction
President Gompers said: THE wages
of the railroad men cannot stand q
reduction. The cost of living ha:
been increasing faster than the wages
which lin fact, have not been in
creased at all.
"Under the Erdman law the pres!
dent has empowered the Interstate
Commerce commission to make al
immediate investigation and to repor
as soon as possible.

toned about Averbuch, Maron denied
he knew him, but later admitted that
he did know him. Considerable an

1t was learned from Averbuch's
sister, who was arrested yesterday

ney Sims at meeting of city officials
at Chief Shlppy's home today. The

TO take any legal steps warranted by

added that the reconvening OF the

20 years old, Russian Jew, known
as Curly Haired Boy" and a com
panion of Lazarus Averbuch, the
anarchist who was shot and killed
yesterday when he attempted to as
sassinate Chief of Police Shippy, was
arrested today near Averbuch's for
mer residence. Two other men were
arrested at midnight, but it is thought
their connection with the case is re-
mote.
A thorough search of Averbuch's s
library was made today and it reveal
ed the fact that the plot to assassi-
nate Chief Shippy was worked out
alone by Averbuch, who was little
more than dreaming boy. The Ii
! brary contained nothing but books
on revolutionary subjects, lectures by
| socialists and anarchists. BY reading
| these books and lectures the boy
dreamed of great deeds and his mind
was filled with a great hatred of the
government of his own country and

| cial conditions as they nave been
taught by liberal thought" leaders

GUILTY AS CHARGED.

So said the jury in the case brought
some weeks ago against A. q. Erickson
for conspiring with others to unduly
raise the price of milk furnished to
Seattle consumers. Seven other deal
ers are to have separate trials on the
same charge. Their testimony sought
to show that they met in social way
and tapped keg of beer. Evidently
the foam rose in very alluring and
enticing way, for two days thereafter
the price of milk had two-cent froth
on top of previous rates. And, Won
derful to state, two days after their
arrest this froth disappeared and
prices returned to normal conditions.
The evidence showed that Mr.. Erick-
son was one of the organizers of the
Seattle Milk Exchange and was siren
uous to maintain the advance in rates.
His dairy was one of those that did
not meet the approval of the recent
inspection. The penalty is fine that
may be up to $780, or Imprisonment
up to one year, or both, but Is not yet
announced.
The record book of the secretary OF
the Seattle Milk Exchange had several
leaves torn out, and contained several
erasures and attempted erasures. One
of the latter showed that Milk Inspec

Health Commissioner Crichton made
a short talk before Mr.. Lanes ad-
dress, emphasizing the value and i'm
portance of clean milk supply and
the vital interest the members OF his
department should show in 1t. DR.. f.

That the campaign for pure milk
carried on by the certified milk COM
missions in various cities is having a
definite effect on the character of the
supply, is the opinion of Clarence B.
Lane, assistant chief of the dairy di-
vision, United States Department of
Agriculture, who addressed a gather

interested citizens in the council

allowed to continue saw some of
| them the other day-and the good dali
rymen will agree with me that it is
| to their advantage to have such con-
ditions bettered. 1t is not fair to the
good dairyman to have to compete
with the man who produces and sells
milk carelessly and, therefore, cheap
| ly. The dairyman who looks at this
rightly must meet and face changing
conditions, and the sooner he does so
the better. The time is close in Sc
attic, as elsewhere, when dairymen
who keep diseased COWS, or use rotten
foods, will either have to go out of
business or meet modern require
ments."
| Mr.. Lane showed several pictures IL
| Illustrating modern methods of stabling
and milking COWS and of keeping the
milk from contamination. He also
suggested that milk contests" held
among dairymen competing for high
score in quality, purity and sanitary
handling of milk, could be established
in county or state fairs or in the cit
les.
Mr.. Lane is now touring the coast,
inspecting the milk supplies of various
cities. He dropped in on the local
health authorities and arrangements
were made for the inspection of Seat
tie dairies. The party went out in
an automobile, carrying Mr.. Lane, DR..
j. E. Crichton, commissioner of
health; DR.. F. S. Bourns, special
health officer; DR.. Philip Won Phul, of
the certified milk commission, and l..

Two milk bottling plants, close in

where unsanitary conditions were dis
covered. Cows were found with tu-
bercular sores and the milk from these
COWS has been sold in Seattle every
day. The brewing establishments in
Georgetown have been selling brew
cry mash and distillery Stops to the
dairymen, and the stuff is fed, often
in fermenting condition, to the cows.
