TO Be OPEN SUNDAYS
Gary Postal Service to Be
Benefited by Some
Changes.

The poor mail service which the peo-
pie of Gary have bee enduring for the
past year will be improved somewhat
in the future by the opening of the
postoffice from a. m. to 1890 a. m.
on Sundays. Other minor changes have
been made in the service in regard to
the time of sending mail to Chicago.
etc, which were announced last night
by Postmaster Call. AS yet nothing
has been done to alleviate the delay
In delivering letters, however, which
constantly occurs in the local postoff1ce
in spite of the fact that the free de-
livery system has been installed. The
work has not yet been thoroughly sys-
tematized, and as soon as this is done
the patrons of Uncle Sam will have less
difficulty.

Albany, n. Y, Oct. 25.-Rufus w
Peckham, justice of the United States
supreme court, died at his summer
home at Altamont at Sis last night.
Death was due to a complication of
disease-heart trouble, Brights dis
ease and hardening ofarteries contri-
buting.
Justice Peckham had been in i'll
health for some time, bu, mis- condi-
ton was not considered serious until
recently. Following adjournment of
the May term of the United States
supreme court, he came on from
Washington with Mrs. Peckham to
spend the summer at Altamont. ex-
pecting to return for the beginning of
the October term.
A few days ago his condition be-
came such that his physicians said he
was likely to die at any time, or might
linger for several months. Up to a
few days ago Justice Peckham exhib-
ited considerable strength and was
able to be about the house. The cir
culatory disturbance, which contrib>
uted to his death, was first noticed
about six years ago.
The funeral will be held at the st.
Peters Episcopal church in this city

JAMES B. HARVEY
DIED YESTERDAY

James B. Harvey, aged SO years,
died yesterday morning at the home
of his son on West Jackson street.
Death was due to complication of
troubles incident to old age and was
probably fastened by the long illness
and recent death of his son and by
the serious illness of his daughter-in-
law, the deceased sons wife, who is
yet in the hospital.
Mr.. Harvey was born in Pennsyl-
vania, April Is, 1926. He went from
that state to Indiana, where he was
married in 1853 to Susan Howard.
Later they went to Illinois. and from
there TO Kansas, from which state
they crossed to Oregon, 81 years ago.
Since that time the deceased has made
his home in this county Up until
five years ago they resided on a ranch
north of town, but at that time they
moved to the city and have since re-
sided here. His wife died two years
ago last January, one son, Frank
Harvey, died IA years ago. while E.
E. Harvey, another son, died Thurs
day, october IA, of this year.
The deceased was not a member of
any lodge or church organization. He
is survived by one daughter and five
sons, as follows: John, a. F. and II.
H. Harvey of Pendleton; T. A. Har-
vey of Ritzville. Wash: Mrs. n. NJ.

Robert E. Strahorn, Railroad
Builder, Would Bring Road
Here if Practical.
WISHED TO MAKE AUTO
TRIP INTO MOUNTAINS
Mysterious Promoter of North Coast
Road Here Overnlght--Made Ef-
fort 10 Drive Into Country TO De-
termine practicability of branch Limo
In This County-Admits He Has
Party of Engineers in Field Near
Milton and WalIa WalIa.

Il have a warm spot in my heart
for Pendleton and will bring our rail-
road here if practical" declared Rob-
ert h. Strahorn, the railroad builder
and famous man of mystery while in
the city this morning for a few hours.
He is the man who is building the
mysterious North Coast road and was
here while on his way from the east
to Spokane.
He was accompanied by +. S. Pit
man, chief engineer for the mysteri-
GUS road, and the two made an un-
successful effort to secure an auto
mobile and a driver who knew the
road to take them across the country
to the site of their proposed bridge
across the Columbia river, near the
mouth of the Snake river. Mr.. Stra-
horn appeared very anxious to make
the trip so as TO gain an idea of the
possible resources of the country and
decide upon the practicability of eX-
tending a branch line down into this
county.
Strahorn has steadfastly refused to
divulge the source of his backing or
tell much concerning the purpose If
his railroad operations. When asked
If the crew of engineers which were
establishing a camp on the Umatilla
river near the mouth of Birch creek
were connected with him or his sys-
TEN, he declared that he did not
know and would not say iw he did
know. He said however that it was
the purpose of the men behind the
North Coast road to extend a line
down into central and southern ore
gon at some time in the future, but
he did not think it would be done
soon. He said that they had
difficulties enough on their hands
with the main lines, for the present.
He said they did have a party of en-
gineers in the field east of Milton and |
Walla Walla and that these men were |
seeking for an easy route across the |
to the Snake river near !!
where the Salmon river empties into |
that stream.
Both Mr.. Strahorn and his engineer A..
greatly disappointed at not
being able to secure an auto and driv-
er to take them across the country,
but as they had to be in Spokane early
tomorrow morning they could not
tarry here longer in an effort to find
the transportation desired, so left for
the north on the 1880 train. An au-
was finally engaged, but no
one could be found who was familiar
with the road
Strahorn came in last night on
rain No. from the east but he re-
used to say where he had been or
what his business was. 1t was as
,ertained, however that he boarded

rom that city to Pendleton in the

New York, Oct. 25-With the ex-
pressed opinion that the present policy
of the United States in the far east was
being shaped for the sole interest of
a group of Wall street financiers, and
that no possible benefit to the ma
tion at large can result, Henry George,
Jr., son of the great single tax ex-
ponent and publicist in an exclusive
interview to the United Press today
declared that the trouble was certain
to end in the American army and navy
being called to fight the private battles
of American monied interests under
the guise of "upholding the American
honor"
When asked what in his opinion was
the real cause of the resignation Of
Minister Crane, George replied: THE
war of big American syndicates.
don't pretend to know more of the
immediate grounds for the states Sec
retary's action than has been pub
lished. Crane may or may not have
been indiscreet. The thing to note is
the implication in Knox's statement
that the government is studying the
recent agreement between China AMI
Japan with regard to their relation
to Manchura with a view to determine
ing whether there is anything in the
agreement adversely affecting Ameri-
can interests. To me this admission
is of the gravest portent, a seeming
admission of the very thing being
charged against us in the far east, that
the American government is doing
work for American syndicates in get
ting concessions and loan privileges
from China and trying to force a way
'or them into Manchuria."
