STORY OF CHRISTMAS STAMPS
Who're the American Red Cross
Found Its Popular Holiday Idea.

The Red Cross Christmas STAMP
doubtless the most prominent little
factor In the holiday activities of the
United States today, traces its an
cestry back TO Boston, where stamps
or "stickers,' were first sold In this
country to raise money for philanthro.
pic purposes in 1862 The L. 8. Sanl-
tary Commission conducted a great
fair or bazaar and used the money
for sick and wounded soldiers in the
Civil war Some resourceful person
conceived the Idea OF selling special
stamps as one means of swelling the
proceeds OF the bazaar. From Bos-
ton the idea spread 10 many other
cities in the east. 1t was not long
until the stamps were used for so
many purposes that the public lost
interest In them, and the idea was
soon forgotten.
The Red Cross stamp had its ori-
gin In the fall of 1907, when 1t was
issued to raise money for auti-tuber-
culosis work. The stamp was first
tried in an experimental way by the
Delaware State branch of the Ameri,
can Red Cross, suggested by Miss
Emily p. Bissell. the sale being con-
fined TO Delaware and Philadelphia

BAXTER TELLS WHY HE WENT
Says President Let Him Out Because
of Light Sentence to Richards
and COmstOck,

Former United States Attorney Baxter
has prepared for publication the following
statement in explanation OF the reference
to his removal from office In the presidents
secret service message:
In his recent message to congress rela-
tive to the secret service, the president is
mistaken in intimating that the removal
OF Irving f. Baxter as United States at
torney and 7. l.. Mathews as United States
marshal was connected with the so-called
land fraud prosecutions. As a matter Of
fact, their removal grew out of the prosecu-
ton of Richards and Comstock for the
illegal fencing of government lands, which
Is a m~isdemeanor under the federal
guilty, and were sentenced by the courr
each to pay a fine of $500 and costs and to
be confined in the custody of the United
States marshal for six hours. The uresi-
dent was displeased with ehis sentence,
deemed 1t inadequate, and the removal of
the United States attorney and the United
States marshal followed. In defense OF his
position Judge Munger stated to the press
under date of November II, 1906:
81 alone am responsible for the sentence
passed upon Richards and Comstock. 1
neys and did not ask any. In common
with other cases, l fixed the sentence at
what l believed just punishment for the
offense committed and am answerable only
to my W conscience. The object for
which the suit was brought was to get
the Illegal fences down. With this taking
uOWn OF lne FENCES, the end sought by the
government had been achieved. Enclosing
public lands is nothing more than statu-
tory offense. 1 believe the sentence passed
upon the two defendants was sufficient to
meet the situation
1t must be borne in mind that at this
time there hau been no indictments what.
ever returned against anybody for con-
spiracy and perjury in ~defrauding the gov
eminent of title to it's lands. Later at that
same term the indictments against G.. G.
Ware and others on that ground were re-
turned, which were the first indictments
in the so-oalled land fraud cases.
The indictments charging Richards and
Comstock with conspiracy to defraud the
government of title to lands were not re-
turned until June Is, 1906. It will thus APP
pear that the removal of Baxter and
Mathews could have no connection what
ever with the land fraud cases. No charge
was ever made against either of them for
failure to prosecute any OF the govern
ment cases.

Beneht 1875 Men I'm This District,

own statement afterward when at the
Omaha General hospital. Police Surgeons
Newell and Barbour attended him there and
removed some of the shot that had lodged
In his ankles and the fleshy part of the leg

into the breech. /. Friedman entered the
front door and Immediately started to DEM

that 1t was loaded. He pointed it toward
