PLANS FOR NEW POST OFFICE.
Committee Named by Mr.. Hitchcock
Holds Conference.

There was a session at the city post
office today of the committee appointed
by Postmaster General Hitchcock to con-
fer with d. n. Burnham & Co.. archi-
tects of Chicago. and furnish informa ton
regarding detailed plans for the interior Of
the new city post Office. Architect Burn
ham was exepcted to be present toward
the close Of the session. The committe is
considering the needs of each division of
the post office in detail and their relation
to the whole interior design.
Much important data were gathered as
to the Office arrangement during the re-
cent trip OF the committee to New York.
Chicago and Indianapolis. One of the
matters requiring close attention is the
character Of the roof of the building
which is dependent largely upon whether
or not pillars are used to any extent in
the interior. 1t is understood to be the
wish of the Postmaster General that what
Is known as the saw-tooth roof be used,
instead oe an arched roof. With II, 1t is
claimed. better general light can be
obtained. But whether or not the pillars
required 10 support II will seriously affect
the interior arrangement of the office is
one of the problems not yet settled.

STRANGE CATCH TAKEN
BY YOUNG FISHERMEN
Note in Tin Box Tells of SIS, 900
in Gold Buried in an
Atlanta Cellar.

Or. Hammond. Sherman street, At
lanta. Ca was signed to a note which
furnished the Anacostia police "a river
mystery last night.
IF you will go to my house. in the Gel
lar to the right you will find a post" the
note reads. Take up the post. dig down
four feet and you will find a box con-
tanning 5000 in gold, to go to the finder
of this note
Howard Dunn and companion named
Hungerford, residents of Congress
Heights, found the note yesterday after
noon while fishing near Giesboro point,
and they would like to be possessors of
the wealth mentioned.
The note was written in ink and was
in a small tin box that had been made
watertight with solder. the psrson who
cast it into the river having taken pains
to make certain that the box would not
sink. When the boys found the box they
noticed scratched on each end mote in
side" and they lost no time in learning
what it contained. Later w. b. Dunn, a
member. of the Capitol police force and
father of Howard, turned the box over
to Capt. Anderson.
1t is not an unusual thing for the police
to find suicide notes in bottles in the river
or along the shore, but the finding of one
in a tin box attracted more attention
than the bottle messages. The police re-
gard the careful sealing of the box as
being significant.
Inspector Boardman has telegraphed to
Atlanta, Ga, for news of "Dr. Ham
mond."
1t was suggested to the police that the
box may have been thrown overheard
from river steamer. Records Of some
of the steamers running between this
city and places in Maryland and Virginia
show that several persons named Ham,
mond were passengers on the boats re-
Gently, but there is no entry to indicate
that an Atlanta physician of that name
was one of them.
Inspector Boardman this afternoon re-
ceived message from K. L. Jette, chief
of police of Atlanta, stating that there is
no DIR. Hammond registered in that city
and that there Is no Sherman street
there.

Differ From Lansburgh Case.

Counsel for the Sperry & Hutchinson
Company argued that the facts in the
present case differ from those in the
Lansburgh case in some respects, the
most material of which Is that in that
case the holder of stamps was required
to accumulate $50 of them before he
could demand redemption, while In this
case. every stamp is redeemable in cash
stamps customer holding less than
once cents worth can have them re-
deemed in pens.
The Sperry Hutchinson Company
sells to merchants certain coupons which
the merchants in turn delivers to his GUS
toners, who pay cash, i'll amounts pro-
portionate to the amount of their respec-
tive purchases. These coupons the Sperry
& Hutchinson Company redeems on yre-
sentation at their place of business at
Washington, either in cash or in articles
on sale there at fixed prices, selected by
the customer.
The Sperry & Hutchinson Company

The District obtained writ OF error
from the Court ef Appeals and the cases
were argued before that court. In an

Shepard the court reversed the decision
Of Judge Mul.owny.
1t has been the contention Of the trad
ing-stamp companies that their method
of business differed from the trading
stamp business which was prohibited in
the decision of the Lansburg case. Coun-
sci for the companies argued the cases
on constitutional grounds. The action
of the Supreme Court settles once and
for all the constitutionality Of the law
under which the companies are being
prosecuted and allows the proceedings to

BURNED LUMBER TOTALS
6,0O0,0O0,0OO FEET
Flames Spread Over 1885,
600 Acres of National
Forests.

Six billion board feet Of lumber, valued
at about s15,OOO.OOO. were destroyed in the
recent forest fires which swept the ma
tional forests in Montana and northern
Idaho. The total area burned over in
this one district was put at 1,2JO,OOO
acres.
The first rough estimate of the fire loss
in the great district was completed today
by officials of the government forest
service. 1t shows that the heaviest losses
were in two Idaho forests, the Coeur
d'Alene, where 3,OOO.OOO,OOO board feet
Of timber were reported killed or de-
stroyed and more than $4,000 acres
burned over. and the Clearwater, where
100000 OOO feet were killed and 800. 900
acres burned over. Other heavy losses
were: Helena national forest. Montana
JOO.OOO,OOO feet: Cabinet forest. 100000
600, and Lolo forest. 3OO,OOOOOO feet.
Some May Be salvaged.
How much of the six billion feet which
was either killed or burned up in Mon-
tanS and Northern Idaho can eventually
be salvaged it is, of course, impossible
to predict. If 1t were all total loss. and
if its stumpage value were put at the
average price at which national forest
timber was sold last year it would be the
equivalent of money loss Of about 315,-

II is believed that last summer S

cutting from the national forests. 5000,

ply. but 1t is less than one-sixth OF a
