Mailbag's Long Pursuit of the u. S.
Cruiser Milwaukee.

Mailbag's Long Pursuit of the u. S.
Cruiser Milwaukee.
A sack of mail which left here four
months ago has just landed in Brem-
erton, Wash, says the New York
Times. Since it left New York it has
travelled over 16 900 miles in an effort
TO overtake the United States ar.
mored cruiser Milwaukee, for the Of
flcers and men of which it was in
tended. Before it finally caught up
with the big cruiser this sack of mail
had been to San Francisco; next TO
Panama, then to Honduras, back &c
San Francisco again, and finally to
Bremerton.
When ship is at sea and the
length of its stay on ony one port is
uncertain the navy department di
reefs the relatives and friends of the
officers and men of that ship to ad
dress all letters for the ship in care OF
the postmaster at New York. In the
general run of things the Milwaukee,
mail In the New York postofice ac.
cumulated until there was a well-filled
sack of letters and parcels waiting
for shipment
One day in last July this sack OF
mail was placed aboard fast mai
train and hurried to Chicago, where
il was trans-shipped to one of the
transcontinental presses for Sar
Francisco where the Milwaukee was
in port. But before the mail arrived

On the day before the Milwaukee
was due in Honolulu the sack of mail
was started on the same journey in a
fast mail steamer. but the Milwaukee
was 1000 miles out. bound for Pan
anna, 5000 miles away. when the mail
steaer was sighted off Honolulu. Two
days later the sack was on its way
back to San Francisco, where it ar
rived in due time. and as the Milwau.
kee was still between 1900 and 1000
miles cut of Panama then, the San
Francisco postmaster hustled the bag
On Panama-bound steamer. The
cruiser. however, reached Panama
first only to be ordered to Amapala,
Honduras, thousand miles to the
north, and was well on her Journey
when the mail steamer arrived.
The Panama postmaster fot that
vessel was leaving for Amapala within
forty-eight hours, and he transshipped
the sack of mail to that steamer. but
the Milwaukee was steaming full
speed back to San Francisco when the
sack reached Amapala The post
master then forwarded it t. San
Fracisco. Again the sack missed con
nection. as the Milwaukee had sailed
for Bremerton. Wash. Arriving there
the cruiser was put in reserve and
the bag of mail again forwarded from
San Francisco-this time by rail-
finally reached the boat and was de-
lyered to the men.

Madison. Dec. n

Madison, Dec. 80
r. u. Bashford, member OF the
state supreme court during the first
six months of 1908, yesterday brought
mandamus proceedings against Sec
reta:} of State Frear TO compel the
payment by the state of $500 addi-
tional salary claimed by MIR. Bashford
10 be due him according to law The
question involved is whether the in
crease Of salary Of $4,000 to $4,000,
made for members of the supreme
court. shall apply TO a member filing
out an unexpired term of former
member, when the former incumbent,
had he continued TO serve his term,
could not have enjoyed the increase.
A year ago. almost 10 the day, Chief
Justice J. B. Cassoday died. Soon R
VI. Bashford was appointed by Gov
ernor Davidson TO fill out so much of
the unexpired term until a successor
could be elected for the remainder of
the term. Justice Cassoday was serv-
ing this same term when the legisIa-
court members from $4,000 to $4,000
yt ar. When Mr.. Bashford became
a member the question of the appli-
cation OF the increase came up and
was referred by Secretary of State
Frear to Attorney General Gilbert,
who held that the increase of salary
could not apply constitutionally to any
one filling out Judge Cassoday's term.
Mr. Bashford takes the view that the
constitutional restriction was intend
ed merely to prevent the raising of
salaries of people during their terms
Of Office, that he is entitled to the
additional $500 for his six months
service. and to test this point he
brings his mandamus proceeding. If
Mr.. Bashford prevails. Justice Barnes,
who was elected last spring, will be a
beneficiary also, for he is being paid
$1,000 a year less under the same
opinion as that governing Mr.. Bash.

Attorny neral Sturdevant rem
dered an opinion upon the same ques.
ton, which was raised when Justice
X. G. Siebecker succeeded Justice C.
Y. Bardeen. holding that Justice Sic
becker was not entitled to increased
lay, the salary having been increased
during Justice Bardeen's incumbency.
this is the only legal view of the
state but Mr.. Bashford in his petition
cites instances where 1t has not been
observed He points TO the case of
Luther S. Dixon, who resigned on
March %. 1867 and was Immediate
ly reappointed and was thereafter
paid the increased salary for the re-
mainder of the unexpired term; that
he was there after reelected for a full
term but resigned in June. 1874 and
was succeeded in the Office by the
Honorable f, G. Ryan, who filled out

In fact telephone and a typewrit

freely throughout the day in the col

But this state of affairs will seem
iugly be out of date in the not far
distant future when wireless telepho-
ny is in general use says the Fourth
Estate. Then the city editor may
sit in a miniature engine room and
communicate with the reporters in all
parts of the city, give his instruc-
tions and receive their replies.
The reporters in turn may then be
able TO send in their stories by wire

who will then edit the matter, put
