Latest Report.


Kansas City, Jan. ga terrific
bomb explosion in the basement of the
First National bank created intense
excitement here Saturday morning. 1t
wrecked part of the building and in
jured a plumber, porter and two or
three bank employees.
At first it was thought an attempt
had been made to rob the bank, and
as yet no explanation has been offered,
A strange man was seen in the lava
tory 20 minutes prior to the explosion.
The First National bank building
was one of the most beautiful struct-
ures in the city. 1t was only finished
last year and cost close to $1,000,000.
The main floor was occupied by the
bank, which is the largest financial in
stitution in Kansas City. The two
upper stories are occupied by real
estate and insurance firms principally.
Investigation developed the fact that
the bomb had been placed in a toilet
room in the northwest corner of the
basement and 20 feet from the main
vault.

tPOSTOFfICE REPORT
SECRETARY HITCHCOCK TELLS
OF YEARS WORK.
Aggregate of 100000 in Revenue
Collected From Postofflces During
Year 19o7-He Recommends Thirty
Day Vacation Instead of Fifteen and
More Towns for Free Delivery.

The annual report of First Assistant
Postmaster General Frank H. Hitch
cock has been made public. The reve-
nues collected through the postoffices
during the fiscal year 1906 amounted
to ABOUT 100000, gain of more
than $15,000,000, and the report states
that this growth was continued in
1907, when the aggregate was $685.
900 900. In order to meet this contin-
uous growth of his bureau Mr.. Hitch
cock makes an appeal for larger ap-
preparations.
THE present policy of reappointing
presidential postmasters who have
conducted their offices to the satisfac-
ton of the public and of the depart
ment has resulted in a decided benefit
to the service" says Mr.. Hitchcock.
He adds that about 65 per cent of the
presidential postmasters have been re-
appointed.
Increases for various classes of en-
ployes of the department are recon-
mended. In order to relieve the third
class postmasters of the necessity of
paying for assistants out of their sal
aries a recommendation is made for
an increase to 100000 for that pur-
pose.
Thirty instead of Is days annual
leave is recommended for postal en-
ployes. An extension of the city de
livery service to smaller towns than
are included under the present law is
urged Under the amendment to the
law he suggests, free delivery would
be given to over 400 towns that dc
not now enjoy that advantage.
The total number of postmasters O
all classes appointed during the yeal
was 1876, as against 1885 for 1906

BROWNSON GRILLED
ROOSEVELT SAYS ADMIRAL
ACTED CHILDISH.
Has No Right to Defy Naval Laws
Sole Concern Should Be Good of the
service-Must Have Obedience
President uphoIds Command of Hos
pitaI Ships by Medical Officers.

President Roosevelt's attitude on the
question of the command of hospital
ships in the navy, which resulted in
the resignation of Rear Admiral Will
lard H. Brownson, and incidentally
some caustic observations on that in
cident, and the controversies among
the naval officers and their adherents
as to details of naval construction and
methods of training were made known
when Secretary Metcalf gave to the
press the two letters from the presi-
dent addressed to him on the subject.
In the first of these letters President
Roosevelt condemns in unmeasurei
terms the act of Admiral Brownson,
declaring 1t to be unseemly and i'm
proper. The question upon which Ad-
miral Brownson took issue with the
navy department, the president de.
clares, is one on which there can be
entirely legitimate difference of opin-
ion, but, he adds, There is no room
for difference of opinion as to the
gross improperly of thesadmirars con-
duct in resigning sooner than carry
out the orders of his superior officers
in such a matter. The officers of the
navy must remember it is not merely
childish but in the highest degree rep
rehensible to permit enough personal
pique, wounded vanity, or factional
feeling on behalf of some particular
bureau or organization to render them
disloyal to the interests of the navy
and therefore of the country as a
whole"
\, Regarding the controversies in the
navy the president admits there al
y ways were and always will be defects,
both in the construction of the ships
and organization of the department
and in the actual drill of the fleet 1t
is well, he says, that these defects be
pointed out, but it is also we'll that
they should be pointed out without ex-
aggerations or malicious untruthful-
ness. He scathingly rebukes those
guilty of exploiting them in grossly ex.
aggerated form in the fancied interest
of an Individual or clique of individu.
ais, or for the sake of supplying SEN
sational material to newspapers. Be
cause of such misrepresentation and
exaggeration the president has asked
Secretary Metcalf for statement Of
the exact facts connected with it, de-
string particularly the opinion of Ad
miral Converse, formerly chief of the
navigation bureau, who, because of his
high professional attachments anC
standard Of conduct and duty, the
president considers peculiarly fitted t;
give judgment.

In reckoning the milk Yield Of COW
a common mistake is to figure on the
basis Of her yield during the first two

that the yield at first Is very deceptive.
One cow noted as a great mixer start

two months, but was finally next to the

small 2-year-old heller behind her In

COW is really doing is to weigh the
milk at frequent intervals throughout
the season.
