TO INCREASE REGISTRY FEE ON
 LETTERS AND MAIL PACKAGES
Proposed Change Announced by Post
 master General Hitchcock.

Washington, August 25.-An in crease of two cents is to be made in the near future in the fee for the regis tration of letters and mail packages.
 Announcement of the pro osed change was made today by Postmaster General Hitchcock. The decision of MT. Hitchcock to increase the re9is- try fee followed an extended inouiry into the registry system by a special commission appointed by the postmas- ter general. MT. Hitchcock and the members of the commission had a long conference today. It was decided ito call in a score of registry officials of ripe experience and ability from va- rious parts of the country for a more general meeting wit hthe postmaster general next Monday.
 MT. Hitchcock believes that the ser vice may be placed on a more busi- ness-like basis without working undue hardship or imposing unreasonable burdens on the public.
 By law the postmaster general is authorized to make the registry fee as high as twenty cents. Tn 1874 it was reduced from fifteen to eight cents cut increased to ten cents in 1875. It was reduced from ten to eight cents in 1893. The registry service is the most expensive of any rendered by the, de- partment owing to the precautions taken to insure safety

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 25.-President Taft indicated in talks with callers to- day that in his message to congress next December he will strongly urge the early establishment of a postal savings bank system. The president realizes that there is strong opposi- ton to such legislation at this time, and while he does not propose to rush congress on too many matters at once, he will ask that the platform declara- tion of the republican party in favor of postal banks be fulfilled as speedily as possible.
 Influential members of both the sen ate and house are urging that the mat ter be left over until the monetary commission has made it's report and ensuing financial legislation has been disposed of. It has even been said that the relation between the subjects to be dealt with by the monetary commits sion and the postal banks is so close that the two should be handled to- gether
 How Deposits Could Be Well Employed
 President Taft believes that several hundred millions of dollars would be placed at the disposal of the govern ment through postal savings banks. It is suggested that this money might be well employed in taking up the $600,- 100000 or S700, 900, 900 of government two per cent. bonds which are out standing and which have given much concern to the treasury department of ficials. Already the two per cent. bonds are selling below par and there is fear of further depreciation in view of three per cent. issues which have been authorized and which soon may

As the time approached when it was evi- dent that he couid beat the Wright record, the excitement was intense and the crowds rushed out of the trfbunes each time he passed, cheering and shouting words of encouragement.
 At one moment there was an en- chanting picture as the aeroplane floated in the limpid blue beneath a beautiful rainbow. while the dirigiblo Colonel Remand was silhouetted against the black clouds banked up on the horizon. As Paulhan in turn broke the time and distance records the jubilation of the spectators was beyond description.
 Shortly. Paulhan descended near the bank turn and 1t was announced that the committee had granted him per- sission to replenish his tank on the field to permit his return with his own power.

MISSOURI RATE CASE DECISION;
 APPEAL TO BE "A, IN
By U. s. Commerce Commission to
 U. s. Supreme Court.


 Washington, August 25.-It is regarded as certain that the In- tcrstate Commerce Commission will take an appeal to the United States supreme court from the decision of the United States circuit court at Chi cago in the Missouri rate case.
 No opportunity has been afforded the commission since the decision was handed down to confer about the case and the attorneys who had charge of the preparation of the case have not the court. Until that has been exam ined carefully, no determination as to the course of procedure will be out lined.s
 Judging from the press reports of the opinion, which was written by Judge Grossrup, the court, in the judg- ment of the commissions lawyers, failed to apprehend fully the princi- ples of law on which was based the commission'ss order in the case. It is the unanimous opinion of the attor- neys that the supreme court will re- verse the decision of the circuit court. It is pointed out that it manifesty would be impossible for the commis- sion, in the finding of a reasonable rate between two given points, widely separated, to take into consideration every one of the thousands of rates that might be affected at intermediate points. This phase of such a situa- tion necessarily. it is asserted, would have to be handled by the carriers themselves. SO that the rates could conform to the principles laid down in the commissions order.
 It is a noteworthy fact that in the Missouri rate case the commission it. self was not unanimous in its opinion. While no dissenting opinion was rem dered it is known that Chairman Knapp and Commissioner Prouty did not agree with the opinion on which the commissions order was based.

In His Message Congress Next December Establish ment of the System will Be Strongly Urged-.resl- dent Believes the Postal Bank would Appeal to linn i'd Persons who are Afraid to rust Ordinary Bank

be placed on the market. The money which postal banks would. draw, the president believes, is that which IS sent abroad each year by foreigners, who insist that the governments guarantee shall be back of any bank in which they place their hard earnings and that which is secreted in stockings and mat tresses and not sent to any bank at all. The president believes that the postal banks would appeal only to those timid persons who are afraid to trust the ordinary banks and who would rather get the two per cent. or less interest which the government would give them than to place the money in the regular savings banks, where it would draw from three to four per cent. interest each year. Unalterably Opposed to Guarantee of
 Bank Deposits.
 President Taft expressed himself again today, as he did so often during the campaign of a year ago, as unalter- ably opposed to a guarantee of bank deposits.
 No Paternalism.
 As to the charge of paternalism re- flected in the postal bank idea, Presi- dent Taft in stating his position today declared that he thought it rather far fetched. He cited the instance of the postoffice department itself.

EARTHQUAKE IN TUSCANY.
siena Escapes With Shaking, But
 Much Damage Done in Villages.

Siena, Italy, Aug. 25.-A severe earthquake was felt throughout the province of Siena. Tuscany, at 1.29 a. m. today. Practically all the houses in San Lorenzo were destroyed or badly damaged Many persons were injured.
 The quake was felt most severely within radius of twenty miles from Siena- Considerable damage was done at Buonconvento. Several houses col lapsed and one person was killed. Many we're injured at Monteroni. A number of houses also were damaged there. and masonry fell into the streets.
 The shock was recorded at Piom- bino. on the coast about fifty miles southwest of Siena at 1.25 a .m.. and there was a repetition five minutes later. The people fled from their homes in terror, but no damage has been reported.
 Soena itself escaped with a severe shaking up. The people were badly frightened, however, and rushed ont of their houses into the streets, where they wandered about in state of semi-panic until they were assured that the quakes were over.

Hartman Sees
 No Visitors
IS TAKING THE "AFTER CURE"
 AT ARDEN COUNTRY HOME.
HE IS PRACTICALLY ISOLATED
All Reports Concerning the Railroad Kings Health Must Now Come from His New York Offices.

New York, August 25.-Two thou sand feet above the sea level at his country estate near Arden, N. Y., Ed ward H. Hartman is resting in secIu- sion tonight. Shielded from business cares, barred from visitors, practically isolated in his mountain home, he disappeared from the public eye in a manner no less dramatic than his dis play of grit upon his arrival from Europe yesterday.
 All reports conceyning MT. Harri- mans health, his associates made known today, are to come from his offices in this city.
 7Uneasiness Reflected in Stock Market.
 Although he is within what may be termed easy communicating distance of the financial district, this uneasi- ness was strongly reflected today in the movements of the stock market. With weak opening, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. together with New York Central, now ciassed as a Harrima>- stock, underwent declines at the outset under rather heavy selling orders. Firmness followed the first losses but it was only temporary and was followed by even greater declines as trading continued, and by noon nearly all active stocks were off from two and a half to five points. There was an upward squirt at the close.
 Patient Resting Easily.
 It came to the street unofficially that MT. Hartman was resting easily throughout the morning and early aft ernoon but this did not serve to offset the general uncertainty. And in addi- ton bear operators made capital of his interview of yesterday indicating that Improvements rather than dividends would be his aim.
 The Man to Ell His Shoes.
 With MT. Harriman's permanent. re- tirement from the active management of his railroads considered at least a possibility, those of prophetic turn of mind pick Judge Robert $. Lovett general counsel for the Hartman lines as the man to fill his shoes. This, however, is mere gossip at this stage Judge Lovett is a native of San Jacin- to- Texas, where he was born 49 years ago After entering the legal field of railroading in 1884, he became general counsel for the Southern Pacific in Texas. When MT. Hartman took over this road he picked Judge Lovett as man of ability and has since ad- vanced him rapidly. Judge Lovett visited his chief at Arden today.
