year-old boy alone in the wagon The
team, which in spite of the heavy
wagon was going at terrific pace,
turned off onto Second avenue and
with the little chap holding bravely
to the lines raced the entire length of
the avenue. The team was finally
stopped by T. ]. Woods and occupants
of an automobile which raced in

citing run. Besides the shock to his
nerves and few minor bruises the
brave little chap was uninjured, all
though few of the many men who
witnessed the runaway expected to see

POSTAL DEFICIT CUT SENSATIONAL ADVANCE
HITCHCOCK SAYS SERVICE Has
BEEN EXTENDED.
While Rural Routes Are Operated at !
Loss, Postmaster Recommends
Their Extension.

Washington.-In the space of twelve
months a reduction has been made In

ment of 11,500,000, according to the
annual report of Postmaster General
Frank H. Hitchcock, made public Sun
day.
While year ago the fiscal records
Of the postal service disclosed deficit
of $17,500,000, the largest in the his
tory of the country, the excess of ex-
penditures over receipts for the year
ended July 80, last, amounted to only
$5,S4S,566.
The departments policy is to extend
the service as rapidly as is warranted
by increasing population. In further
ance of this policy, 1900 new post
offices were established during the
last year and 515 new rural delivery
routes traversing altogether 1926
miles, were instituted. Nearly $500

placed upon the rolls of the depart
ment, whose aggregate salaries, were
more than 100000 annually. In ad-
dition to this sum, $1,75O,000 was add

|WICKERSHAM'S REPORT
YEAR HAS BEEN STRENUOUS ONE
FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Recommends Immunity Statute to Pro
tect Witnesses From Consequences
Of Their Testimony.

Washington. THE annual report OF
Attorney General Wickersham present
ed to congress is one long story OF
frauds against the government.
Trusts, so-called and real, their al
legged conspiracies to defeat the law;
land frauds, customs frauds, frauds in
the internal revenue, rebates, bucket
shops and fraudulent uses of the mails
have made 1910 the most strenuous
year in the history of the department
of justice. Mr. Wickersham states
that only the earnest and enthusiastic
work of the men Of his force has made
the work successful.
Prosecution for violation of the anti
trust law were foremost in the work OF
the year. Actions, says the attorney
general, are now under way, or pend
ing, against the following so-cal'ed
trusts:
Tobacco trust.
Standard Oil Company.
Sugar trust.
Hartman lines.
Hard Coal trust.
Powder trust.
Terminal Railway Association of St
Louis.
Towing trust, on the Great Lakes.
James A. Patten ard others fol an
alleged corner in cotton.
Beef trust.
Wholesale groce,s' trust.
Butter and egg trust.
Brick trust.
Bath tub trust.
The following convictions were se-
cured and fines imposed during the
year:
Paper trust fined $4,000.
Night riders fined $500.
Window glass trust hned $4,000.
The attorney general recommends
that general immunity statute should
be charged to apply to criminal prose
cution, generally, but says such stat.
ute should only protect witness from
the consequences of the testimony he
is about to give.

BARRIER MAKES RECORD
FLIES 10 MILES IN 10 MINUTES

Thousands Witness Bird Men DO Re-

Memphis, Tenn.-Driving his fifty

Barriers elapsed time was 10 min
utes 10 seconds, which made his av-
erage sped for the 16-mile course 1898
miles an hour This is new worlds
speed record for a closed circuit. The
former record was made last August
by Leon Morane in 50-horsepower
Breliot around an 1S-mile course near
Rheims, when Morane averaged SO
miles an hour.
John B. Moisant of Chicago, driving
another 50-horsepower Bleriot, landed
in second place in his try for the prize.
Moisant's time for the 16 miles was
is minutes 26 2-5 seconds, or almost
three-fourths again as long as Barrier
took to make the journey.
The explanation of the great differ
ence in time lies in the varying alti-
tudes at which the two air men flew.
Moisant, who was first to complete the
journey, travelled at an elevation OF
1000 feet for the entire distance. Bar
rier, on the contrary, contented HIM
self with rising to and flying at a
height of $500 feet.
The time which Moisant took to
climb to his lofty airlane cost him the
race. The contest was witnessed by
tens of thousand of people from the
tops OF Memphian houses and sky.
