TONS OF MAIL RESULT
FROM POSTAL STRIKE
Business ParaIyzed in Paris and
10000 kilograms Undelivered.

Paris. March 1S.-There was not the
slightest indication late tonight of a
break in the deadlock between the
government and it's striking telegra-
piers and postal employees, nor was
there any prospect of an improve
ment in the situation. The strike
will be considered in the chamber of
deputies this evening and solution
may be furnished. The cabinet pass
ed a decree authorizing tonight the
dismissal of the strikers from state
service and reaffirmed it's determine
ton not to yield.
The last two American mails have
not been delivered. The Havas agen-
cy which receives thousands of let
tiers daily, did not find any at the
postoffice today With the failure of
carriers to deliver letters today, the
chaos is complete. The entire public
service is paralyzed and business. both
public and private. is in confusion.
The situation in Paris and in the
provinces grows worse every hour.
Undelivered letters number into the
millions and not less than 800. 900
kilograms were~ stacked up this af-
ternoOn awaiting distribution. A few
days more Of these conditions and
Paris will be reduced almost to a
state Of siege, as far as food is con-
cerned.
y large body of strikers gathered
at the central telegraph station today
and threatened a breach of the peace.
but when they found company of
in the rooms adjoining the
main offices-they left without Great
ing any disturbance. The real ele-
ment of danger lies in the threat of
the general confederation of labor.

 HOLzNAGLE CASE

Fritz Holznazle. the Scranton hotel Keeper who was swindled out of sl5.0oo as the result of fixed" prize fights. has succeeded in causing the arrest of two men whom he claims were the princi- pal actors in the game through which he lost his money.

They had been arrested there lOr ootainang from Herbert Futile. a, CMcago real estate man. s 600 throu sh a game similar to that by which Ho z- naxie was victimized. Keenan, and nrown returned the money to Tuttie ana the proceedings were dronped. The men were discharged and were abouf to leave the city. Holznagle had heard or the transaction and recognized the S'mliarity of the men to those he was barre and caused their arrest. The men were arraigned yesterday and furnished bail bond of $16.O00. They were lafer held on a civil suit for s16.- 000 brought by Holznagle.
 Last June Hol2naGle was induced to visit this city to engage in deal with men representing themselves as the pork packers of Omaha. Neb.
 A fixed fight was arranged. under the grand stand at Hippodrome Park. Ho!znaRle bet $6.000 on the result and lost. Holxnagle believed that he was betttinE on a sure thing. and he was, but the sure thing was not in his fav- or.6
 His man lost and he put up $10000 to get back his original bet at later hxht which took place in Boston. His sure thing nxhter against lost and this added to HolEnagle's losses till they exceeded $15,OO0.
 Since that time HolxnaGle has been busy tracing up the men who victim fzed him. Should the criminal case against Keenan and Brown fail he hopes to recover his money through g. civil suit The bond put up by the men has been attached.

 Coincident with the arrival of the Rochester detective today, came Peter J. Doan, a stationary engineer Of Rochester, who learned of the arrest here of Powe. He told the police that his wife was missing and that she dis Powe left Rochester. He had reasons for believing that they were together here. On information furnished by Powe the woman was found and taken to police headquarters where her hus- band awaited her.
 When she faced her husband she threw herself into his arms and wept bitterly. She chided herself for her wrong and begged his forgiveness. Doan at first was not inclined to par don her offence. but so piteoussy did she plead that ne finally relented and he kissed her and assured her that he would forgive and forget. She seem ed oyerjoyed though she did not hesi- tate to repeatedly express her regret at what she termed her mistake. She said she had known Powe for a short time only but had become infatuated with him and she did not have the courage to resist his pleadings.
 Mr. Doan was very grateful to the police and offered to pay Supt. Bir- mingham for the trouble to which the was put. which offer was declined with thanks. Before he left Doan said that for the sake of his wife he would make no charge when he reached home against Powe though he let it be inferred that when Powe is liberated he will see to it that he has occasion to remember the affair of the past two weeks.

SPOlLSMEN RUN
 BOSTON AFFAIRS Commission Scathingly Ar raigns Nearly Every
 Department.
Unqiue City Charter Pro posed Concentration of Power in Mayor

Boston, Jan. BOA scorcling ar- raignment of nearly every department of the municipal government of Bos- ton and-a recommendation for new and unique city charter are contained | in the report which the finance com
 mission presented to the Massachusetts
 Legislature yesterday.
 The commission declares that the city council is dominated by spoils- men, that municipal appropriations are strained to the limit in order to favor contractors or give employment bers use their official positions for
 pecuniary gain, and that both the AL dermen and Councilmen as legislative
 bodies, are Intellectually and morally
 incapable of action in the interest of the citizens at large"
 The commission also says that the number of municipal employees Is ex- cessively large and that they prac- tically control 10000 ''city hall'' votes, thereby constituting menace to good government.
 The commission suggests legislative changes which provide CD a simplified ballot, with as few names thereon as possible; CD the abolition of party nominations; (3) a city council consist ing of a. single small hody elected at large; (4) the concentration of execu- tive power and responsibility in the mayor; (5) the administration of the departments by trained experts, or per- sons with special qualifications for the office; (6) full publicity secured through a permanent finance commis- sion. ,e
 The most unique feature of the pro- posed new charter is the election and term of office of the mayor. He is to be elected for fourA years. However, at the end of his Aecond year, there may be inserted on the ballot the question Shall there be an election for mayor at the next municipal election" If the referendum is carried in the af- firmative there will be an election for mayor at the next following municipal election. but the name of the mayor in office shall be placed upon the ballot without nomination. By filing a writ ten notice with the secretary of the commonwealth by the mayor the refer endum will be omitted from the State ballot in the second year but the may or's term of office will thereby termin- ate with the close of his second year and the election held as if the referen- dunn had been accepted in the affirma- tive, with the exception that the may or's name will not be placed on the ballot except by regular nopination.

 eff John D. Rockefeller had bent his energies to the priesthood I have not the slightest doubt that he would be occupying the Vatican to-day. If liar rirnan had lived at the time of Caesar and had sought to overthrow the mon- arch it would have been nip and tuck between them. If Roosevelt had takon up religious work Martin Luther and his little Reformation wouldn't have been in it for a minute."
 Continuing. the Rev. MT. Marquis Said:-
 'sMy particular line is fire insurance. I'm in the business. just as you are in your work. to insure people against the damage which may occur in the future."

THEFT CHARGE
 NOLLED AGAINST
 MISS ALICE MORAN
Full Investigation Shows That She Was Innocent of Any Intent to Steal and Prosecution Was a Mis- take.

The charge of theft which has been hanging over the head of Alice Moran for a month, was nolied in the City court this morning. Miss Moran has been ir the custody of Probation or ficer Miss King during the time and she has nothing but good to say of the girl. The circumstances surrounding the case indicate that the prosecution was a mistake at the start, and proves that people should be very careful how they accuse their domestics.
 The girl came over from Ireland sev- eral months ago. She was engaged by Mrs. Poole of Colorado avenue as a domestic. In cleaning a closet one day the girl came across two small pins and, lace collar on the .floor. Sup posing that they had been discarded the girl took them to her room and put them in her trunk, which was never locked. Later Mrs. Poole missed the articles. The girl was accused and the articles were found in her trunk. She made no attempt to conceal them and told a straight story throughout The articles were immediately return cd to the owner and Mrs. Poole refused to prosecute.
 The girl was discharged from sur veillance this morning. She feels the disgrace of her position keenly. It is believed by all concerned that she was entirely innocent of any evil intent. Had she been inclined to steal there were many articles in the closet of much greater value than the few little trinkets found on the floor.
