WOULD SEND P0STMEN
ON RURAL ROUTES OUT
ON FAST AER0PLANES
Says Flying Machines Would Insure
Delivery of Mail to Farmers
in Quicker Time Than
at Present

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-The use of
aeroplanes in rural free delivery is ad-
vocated by Wilbur r. Kimball, in in
structor in aeronautics in the West
Side Y. M. G. a. here.
'"The practicability of the aeroplane
has now been fully demonstrated" said
Mr.. Kimball in his opening lecture to
his class of would-be flyers. 'And
within two years 1t will be used COM
mercially to an extent not now dreamed
Of Rural free delivery, for example,
is subject to great delays on account
of storms and bad roads. With the
aeroplane, however, the farmers hard
earned free delivery would be above
these difficulties His mail would be
dropped in little pouch from the aero
plane, which would then speed on to
the next farmhouse to deliver it's
packet. Mail could easily be collected
through an arrangement by which the
aerial chauffeur would lower a hook
and catch up packages of mail.
"One of these rural free delivery
aeroplanes will cover a distance ten
times as large as that served by the
present slow wagon system"

Especial to The Herald

NKEXICO CITY, Feb. 2.-Followlng
MI the suspension of the United
AiA States Banking company, whlch
had been financing the Mexican Ma
tional Packing company, the latter
firm. generally known as the "Popo
Meat concern" failed today.
Liabilities are estimated at $SGOOO,OOo
The collapse Of the "Popo' company
has been expected since it became
known that the failure of the United
States bank was caused by the in
ability of the meat company to pay
several million pesos advanced by the
bank.
John W. Dekay is president of the
packing company. He has been in
England for several weeks, endeaVor-
ing, it is supposed, to raise additional
capital.
The rise of the Mexican National
Packing company has been spectacular
Thousands of dollars were spent
monthly in advertising what purported
to be the only pure meat in the re-
public. Thousands of dollars also We're
spent in prizes and lottery drawings,
the purchases of Popo meats being
given tickets, the lucky owners of the
series emitting the holder to receive
sewing machines and other household
articles as prizes.

RECEIVER APPOINTED BY
COURT IN NEW JERSEY

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-The Mexican
National Packing company was New
Jersey corporation. controlled by Eng
lish investors, and operating slaughter
houses and packing houses i'll Mexico
under concessions from the Mexican
government.
The company will continue to
operate it's plants. Henry de Kay was
appointed receiver by Judge Lanning
in the federal circuit court in New
Jersey this afternoon.
The appointment of Il receiver was
not brought about by any condition in
the livestock market, but by the tying
up of part OF the companys funds in
the United States Banking company
in Mexico City, which suspended re-
Gently.
Samuel Untermyer, as counsel rep
resenting English packers and other
investors, tonight said:
.While we have no definite figures
showing the position between the
packing company and the bank at the
time of the suspension of the bank,
we are advised that the packing COM
pany had more than $50000O gold to
its credit in the United States Banking
company at the time of the banks
suspension.
Inc LyllS up VI Tie ptlChlllB GOll-
panys immediate resources and the un-
certainty as to the possible action that
might be taken led to the appointment
of a receiver to conserve the assets
until a settled course can be pursued.
The company continues operations,
and all it's plants are maintaining their
volume and supplying people of Mex
leo with their meat products. 1t is
not expected that these operations
will be interfered with. Arrangements
were under way in England for fur
nishing the company with a large
amount of additional capital at the
time of the suspension of the bank.
These arrangements will proceed with
out interruption
Among the concessions held by the
company is an exclusive right to
slaughter cattle in Mexico City until
1926. It's share capital is S22, 500 O00,
and it has a bonded debt secured by a
mortgage of about $12,5O0,OOO and a
floating debt of $2,000,0O0, of which,
however, only 100000 is due.
Bonds, stocks and debts are held
mainly in England. The British and
Mexican Trust, limited, of London,
procured the receiver as the holder of
about $6,000.0O0 of the bonds, approx
mately two-thirds of the stock, and as
the owner of $300,O00 OFFICIATING debt.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 2.-Ac-
tion taken by congress and, more es-
pecially, reports from New York, Jer-
sey City and Chicago, show that the
general public is thoroughly deter
mined to get at the primal reasons for
the increased cost of the necessaries
of life in the United States.
Congress has ordered two inVestiga-
tions. Whether they will be the usual
congressional whiteWash for the trusts
or whether legislation of value to the
average citizen will follow is proble-
matical, with the long end of the waer
being on the whiteWash.
The federal grand jury in Chicago is
getting down to business and prepar-
ing to summon witnesses, to get at
facts in connection with the cold stor-
age business.
Members of women's organizations
in New York are prepared to take rad
ical action and the Hudson county,
New Jersey, grand jury is probing into
the cold storage business of the big
meat corporations.
Congress Takes Action
Two Independent Investigations into
the high cost of living will be con-
Quoted by the senate and house. The
first step toward the proposed inquiry
in the senate was taken today when
Senator Lodge presented a resolution
providing for it. The resolution was
introduced at the instance of the fin
ance committee which insures it's
adoption. 1t provides for commit
tee of five.
The inquiry will include an investi-
cation into the cost of the necessaries
of life with an especial view to de-
termining whether there has been an
increase during the last ten years. 1t
is also directed that it shall cover
the question of wages with a view to
ascertaining whether there has been
an increase.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on finance, which will report
it back promptly. The house inquiry
will be conducted by the ways and
means committee.

NEVADA HILLS BLOCKS
OUT ADDITIONAL ORE
Gold and Silver Preserve Is In
creased Rapidly Along
the 470 Level

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 5.-"Each
100 feet of distance driven along the
470-foot level ore body places another
$1,000000 worth of gold and silver ore in
sight" says w. w. Byrne, who has
just returned from visit to the Ne
vada Hills mine at Fairview. Mr..
Byrne is more than satisfied of the tre-
mendous Importance of the recent Ne
vada Hills operations, and he brought
back with him some fine samples of
the ore now being found on the 47O-
level.
The management has followed this
ore for approximately 200 feet, he says,
and the face of it now is the richest the
management has found at any time.
There are from twelve to fourteen feet
of this ore. The company is drifting
for the same ore body on the, 570-foot
level, and Mr.. Byrne is confident that
it will be found where expected by
Manager Webber. And when it is
found, the Nevada Hills will look a
great deal better than it does today,
although it's present condition would be
difficult to excel.
One hundred men are employed by
the company, and work on the new 100
ton milling plant is being rushed.
There also is in course of installa-
ton the new steel gallows frame, which
will be used for reaching to the depths
of the porperty never before attempted.
This new shaft will open the property
in manner to develop with ease the
old Nevada Hills and the Fairview
Eagle, these two properties having been
merged when George Wingfield entered
the company as large stockholder and
as president.
