Ruling Route Notice

The postmaster at Napton
desires TO call attention to The
practice of some patrons OF
rural delivery Of placing
loose coins in their boxes
each time they desire 10 dis
patch letters instead Of sup
plying themselves with post
age in advance of their needs.
This practice imposes un'
due hardship OH rural carriers
in removing loose coins from
boxes and delays them on The
service of their routes.
The postmaster, therefore.
urgently requests that patron,
|of rural delivery provide
themselves and keep on hant
a supply of stamps consisten
with and in advance OF their
needs. 1t is also very desir
able that rural patrons place
in their mail boxes small de
tachable cups Of wood or tir
in which tn place coins, whel
necessary, in purchasing sup
plies of stamps.

Electric Lighting Plants Short Lived.

GioCtfiS 6tHUtiU8 E'eVS SHS's @VS
During the past year the technical
press has recorded the breaking down
af a large number Of municipal cleo
trio light plants because the equipment
was worn out. IL Is interesting TO nots
that In a large majority OF cases tho
necessity for abandoning or renewing
the plant came ut q period OF from ten
to fifteen years after 1t had been In
stalled, showing that the detertora-
ton by wear alone amounted to frou
Z to 10 per cent q year.
According to the municipal ownsr'
ship advocates who claim That an al
lowance OF 8 per cent for depreciation
Is adequate. these plants should oil
have lived for thirty years, yet wear
ing out Is only q OF the forms Of
depreciation. and Llost OF these planel
had been hopelessly out Of date beforv
their breakdown occurred.
Other cities may well taks warning
from the experience Of thsss and maxi
An allowance for maintenance and d
probation far In excess Of the esu
mates Of interested parties u the,
would avoid the thankless task OF pay
ing for broken down plants cut Of u

OVER THE WORLDS
KAISER TALK
Believe German Emperor Was
Correctly Quoted in Hale
Interview.

TOXIC, Nov. o4.--The recently pub
lished interview with Emperor William
IN the most absorbing topic OF the day
here. officials. as well as the news
papers. believe that the Emperor has
been correctly quoted. but the news
papers ridicule his statements.
one paper publishes picture of the
German Emperor having his tongue
amputated, and editorially dscredits
the statement attributed to him that he
and President Roosevelt have agreed
to oppose Japan. All the newspapers
inspired by the opposition insist that
the relations between America and
Japan, especially regarding China and
also the open door, are exceptionally
friendly and that harmony is assured.
They attribute the publication OF the
interview with Emperor William TO a
desire to embroil the United States In
trouble with Europe by creating
strained relations.
1t Is intimated by official organs that
developments during the next few days
will prove that the United States and
Japan are fully agreed in regard to
China.

INQUIRY INTO
CITY CRIMINAL
COURTS BEGINS
Special Commission Meeting at
City Hall Calls Justice Ohm
Sted as First Witness.

The special commission appointed ey
Gov. Hughes and the Legislature TO in
vestigate the courts OF inferior criminal
jurisdiction in this city held It's first
meeting IN the city Hail to-day. The
Commission liz composed of Bronson
winthrop, of this city; John Alan Ham
ilton, of Buffalo, appointed by Gov.
Hughes; Senator Alfred r. Page. Sen
ator Thomas L. Grady aud Assembly
men Murphy, Francis and Smith OF this
city. julius Mayer, former Attorney
General, is counsel to the commission.
willard II. Olmsted Justice OF Spe-
cial Sessions. was the first witness. lie
testified that the Chidren's Court is
abreast of its work. but tina; the Court
or Special Sessions is in arrears $500
cases. The oldest case was begun in
the spring OF 1906, but that 10 not typt-
cal. The first time we began to real
lie that we were not keeping abreast of
the business in the Court of Special Ses-
sions was in 1907, when there was a
sudden increase and we fell behind In
adjudicating the cases.
Among the delayed cases there are
approximately l.672 relating to the liquor
tax, ILL relating to violations of the
automobile speed laws. l.4S9 miscellan-
eous and - disorderly house cases"
Justice Olmsted said the accumulation
OF cases was largely due to the special
izing in the administration of the law.
There are auto laws. liquor tax laws
and such specialized laws none of which
now brought could be tried for year.
1t Is difficult. he added, to secure con-
victions in auto cases. In third offenscs.
where conviction is obtained. tmprison-
ment is obligatory. and the trial of such
cases must necessarily be at length and
attended with great judicial care. but
none OF those at present. on the calender
stand chance of being tried in the near
future and all the defendants are out
on bail.
Within the past week seven per-
sons have been killed in New York
by auto mobiles, hut the prospcct
of trial of the defe n dants within "a
year are vague.
Concerning liquor cases. Justice Ohm
sted said that persons arrested to-day
could not be tried within a year. and al
the life of an excise license is but one
year action might become imperative
at the expiration of twelve months.
Cases relating TO cruelty to animals
were also mentioned. Justice Olmst ted
said that two rival societies existed
the Berg and the Humane. Their agents
were very active. Senator Grady brought
out the point that the societies receive
from the city all the fines imposed in
court in such cases. but the city gets no
return.
