To EXTEND SERVICE
Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Urges Many Reforms
in Rural Free Delivery
GREAT SCOPE or THE SERVICE

Touching the heart of the agricul-
tural communities in every state of the
union, the annual report of Fourth AS
sistant Postmaster General, P. v. De
GraW, made public today, announces
increased usefulness of the rural free
delivery service and the unprecedented
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 uniform
ing of rural carriers. The package
provision suggested requires congress
sional legislation and is designed to
be effective between the distribution
postof6ce and the patrons Of any rural
route emanating from such postofice.
Such a service according to the re-
port would benefit alike the rural de-
livery patrons and local merchants
without injuring or competing with
any other service. 1T can be given, y
adds Mr. DeGraw, with the facili-
ties now employed and would materi-
ally increase the revenues of the de-
partment. A special reduced rate of
postage for merchandise carried only
by rural carriers would unquestionably
be of material value to the retail mer-
! chants on rural routes and at rural de-
livery distribution centers as well as
enhance the influence of the rural ser
vice in making life in the country
more attractive. ="
Rural delivery is now in operation in
1850 miles of road, over which car.
riers are required to travel daily. Of
those roads $4,000 miles are macadam,
the remainder being earth, sand or
/ gravel Since the service was first es-
tabhshed, $70,632, 1852 has been expend-
ed on roads traversed by rural carriers.
Road officials and patrons are notified
whenever repairs are necessary on rural
routes. More work has been done ON
such public highways and more expen-
/ ditures made in their improvement dur
/ ing the past year than in any previ-
GUS year in the history of rural de
livery and the official reports received
| clearly indicate that interest in road
Improvement is being generally mani
tested throughout the country.
! The estimate Of appropriations neces-
sary for this service for the next fiscal
year, as submitted By Assistant Post
master General DeGraw is $56,246, 900
an increase Of $672,000 over the cur
rent appropriation.
The report recommends increasing
the number of positions in the higher
grades of elerkships with correspond
ling decrease "a lower grades

HOT FIGHT
Legislature to be Asked to Make
Two investigations When
Coming Session Opens
TO EXAMINE CAMPAIGN FUNDS

Two legislative Investigations into
the question of how far money has
cut a figure in the selection of public
officers in Wisconsin may be in pro-
gress at the same time in Madison this
winter They will be;
l. An investigation by senate
committee in regard to the use of
money by candidates for the Republi-
can nomination for United States SEN
ator in the Stephenson primary cleo
tion in this state,
2. An investigation by an assembly
committee in regard to campaign
funds used in all campaigns, caucus
and convention, primary and election
since 1900.
The announcement some days ago
that a canvass of the members of the
state senate in the legislature of 1909
showed a majority of the members Of
that body to be pledged to a resolu-
ton for an investigation of the Sep.
TENDER primary election and further
more that the LaFollette plan was now
for an investigation by a senate COM
mittee instead of a joint legislative
committee, has caused considerable
activity on the part of the Stephenson
leaders.
AS a result of their discoveries con-
tirming the statement printed the
Stephenson men are again repeating
their threats of some weeks ago to the
effect that if any investigation is att
tempted of the September primary
there viii also be an investigation of
all monies spent in all the campaigns
in the state since 1900
What is none, the Stephenson men
are meeting the LaFollette move for a
single house investigation with a play
of similar character and they de-
clare that il q senate investigation is
ordered on the LaFollette play they
viii present a resolution in the assem-
bly, for the omnibus investigation,
The Stephenson men declare also that
d canvass of the assembly viii show
they have sufficient votes to pass the
Investigation resolution they propose
to that house. The measure would Of
course, provide for this investigation
to be by a committee composed only
of members of the assembly.

WILL EXTEND LINES
Bristol Phone Co. to Increase
Capital Stock and Extend
Lines in the County


The most important meeting of the
directors of the Bristol Telephone com
pany held since the incorporation Of
the company six years ago will take
place on next Monday when the direc-
tors will meet at Bristol for the pur-
pose of deciding in regard to great ex-
tensions of the line and other matters
of Importance to the company. The
first proposition viii be for an increase
of the capital stock of three thousand
dollars making it a total of $4,000. Tt
is planned to sell this stock at once
and provide for extending the lines in
all directions from Bristol In the
past few months the officials of the
company have received many requests
for extensions of the lines to different
parts Of the town of Bristol and the
surrounding towns and it is probable
that many of these extensions will be
built with the opening of the spring
of the new year. Another proposition
is to build home for the company
at Bristol. The company has been a
success from the start and its perma-
nancy seems to be assured. With this
aim in view many of the stockholders
are in favor Of the erection Of a perma-
nent exchange which will of course be
situated in the village of Bristol.
Notwithstanding the fact that many
efforts have been made to purchase the
company by the Wisconsin Telephone
company it still remains an indepen-
dent line.

Heirs OF the Late James P. and
Nancy Glover Agree on Set
Element of Estates
SON WILL RECEIVE RESIDUE
Charles Glover the Mysterious Claimant
for the Estate VINO Claimed to
be 2 Sen Not Mentioned
in Stipulation

BY a stipulation made on Wednes-
day between the attorneys interested
in the long contest over The settlement
of the estates of James P. Glover and
his sister Nancy Glover, all further
litigation in the settlement of these
estates has been cut off and the estates
will be divided between all Of the heirs
to the deceased pioneer residents of the
city. Under the stipulation Henry
Glover, the son of James Glover, is to
receive the residue of the estate of his
father after putting in trust for his
minor children $4,000 and paying all
of the expenses connected with the set
Element of the estates of James P. and
Nancy Glover. The expense attend
ing the settlement of the estate will
be very large as there have been three
contests over the two wills and all of
them have been bitterly contested in
the County Court. The matter is now
before Judge Heck of Racine, and he
will hand down a decision including the
stipulation of the attorneys represent
ing the various heirs
AS the estate of James P. Glover
amounted to little over $4,000 the
total share of Henry Glover will be
a little over $1,000 la the original will
of the father the son was given $500
while $4,000 was placed in trust for his
minor children.
Under the viii of Nancy Glover the
main heirs to the estate were Frank Fl.
and Edith Smith, now living in South
Dakota, and they were also named as
the residuary claimants of the estate of
James P. Glover They will receive
under the stipulation $4,000, but will
be released from the payment of any
of the expenses connected with the set
Element of the estate.
The contest of the wills has been on
in the County Court for the BETTE part
Of two years and it was attended by
sensational Developments Shortly af-
ter the death Of the brother ard sister
la man claiming to be Charles Glover
and a son of the deceased lumberman,
came to Kenosba from Chicago and put
in a claim to the entire estate of James
.P. Glover on the grounds that he was
his son. Efforts to establish the iden-
tity of the Chicago man failed and it
was found that the relatives of Glover
as we'll as many of the old citizens of
the city had never known that he had
another son. Charles Glover attempted
to fight the contest in Court, but after
ia single hearing he disappeared as
mysteriously as he came and nothing
has ever been heard of him or his con
test since In the final stipulation for
the settlement of the estate the name
Of the Chicago claimant is not even
mentioned and it is expected that the
Judgment will be handed down within
a few days assigning the estate. This
will close the doors to any further con
test from the Chicago man.
The property of the estate was large
ly personal property.

sufficient. f'The District Leader diff
fers from the majority Of so-caIled
musical comedies in that it has plot;
not a fimsy, disconnected story, put in
to hold the piece together, but a strong
dramatic sequence of events that alone
would hold the attention of any audi
ence. Add to this the fact that the
play is plentifully intersprinkled with
music presenting Mr.. Howard at his
