Magazines to be Cut up by Postoffice
in Order to Determine Rate of
Glass Postage
Required.
ONE CENT POSTAGE
If Loss to Department on Magazines
Can be Wiped Out Letter Post
age Will be
Reduced.

WASHINGTON, Nov. President
cock have reached an agreement on
the recommendations the president
will make to congress regarding
change in the second class post
age rates as affecting magazines and
other periodicals. Taft will recon-
send copy of its current issue to
the postoftice department each week
or month as the case may be. There
the publication will be dissected. The
reading matter and advertising sec
tions will be separately weighed
and the amount of postage COM
puted before the magazines are
sent out. Newspapers are not affect
| ed.
The average haul Of newspaper is
about 300 miles, while the average
haul of magazines is 1,100 miles.
Hitchcock told the president the
plan for separating reading and ad
vertising matter in magazines is en-
tirely feasible and he believed 1t the
proper solution. Hauling magazines
j in the mail has proven costly to the
government. and both the president
and the postmaster general believe i
has entered largely into the deficl'
in the postoffice department.
Hitchcock believes the new rat'
for magazines will entirely wipe ou
the deficit.
I President Taft is looking forwar'
to cent rate for letter postage an
I'hopes to recommend 1t before h
leaves the white house. He promise
figures and estimates which show tina
letter postage with this rate will ylei
a profit to the government The es
tablishment of proposed new rates a

do much to bring about penny pos
age plans.

Of Guilt Pointing To-
ward Him.
QUARRELED WITH HER
The Couple Were Together up Until
The Night That the Woman
Disappeared From
Her Home.

DANVILLE, H., Nov. 1.-The police
today believe tney have strengthened
the case against Frank Garner who is
under arrest for the murder of Mrs.
Elsie Cochrane. They learn that the
couple had quarreled in theater
early Thursday evening but later made
up and drove to a road house where
they had several drinks. The police
believe the quarrel was renewed
Mrs. Cochrane once lived in st
Louis where under the name of Mart
in, she conducted boarding house.
She also lived in Kansas City.
The police are trying to find out
what she did with her money, for she
had $4,000 and lands in Oklahoma.
1t may be that she was robbed as
we'll as murdered.
! Gamers arrest brought to close
day of sensational rumors. His
arrest was forced by circumstantial
4 evidence, which had been gathered
1 A horse owned by Garner wore pc
culiar shoe, fitting the tracks on the
1 ground at the scene or the muruer
while a break in one of the rubber
tires of his buggy fitted exactly II
the tracks leading to the place where
4 the body was found.
Garner, when arrested, declared h.
was innocent, and denied knowins
Mrs. Cochrane. However, the thre
children OF the dead woman identifies
4 him as the man who had frequentl
called on their mother.
i The three young children of tn
murdered woman were brought to th
county Jail and Garner, along wit
X about dozen other prisoners wa
brought into the corridor. The chi
dren were asked to pick out the ma
whom they had seen at their mother
house. Without hesitating an instan
they picked out Garner, and one c
the children so positively identifie
him by scar on his neck. Garne
refused to say anything.
At o'clock he was arraigned an
asked and was given continuane
until November 2, and was seLt bac
to Jail without bond.

Natives Are Voting Today, the SEQ
ond Time Since the Island Be-
came Part of United
States.
ARE MANY FACTIONS
Five Parties In the Field in Havana,
Each One Having Candidates
and Being Very
Energetic.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 1.-Of- |
fetal Washington is considerably in
terested in the results of today's cleo |
ton in Cuba, the first to be held un-
der the administration of President
Gomez and the second to be held by
Cuban government without the in
fluence of American conro In ad-
dition to half the members OF the
lower house of the national legisla-
ture municipal officers in all cities
and towns are to be elected.
The victory of one or another OF
the numerous political parties which
have tickets In the field is not looked
upon here as of much Importance as
the effect that the election may have
upon the future tranquility of the
country. When the campaign open
ed last summer, there existed gen.
eral feeling of dependency In regard
to the prospect of peaceful election,
and this feeling was intensified as
the campaign progressed by the con-
tinuation of the schism between the
Miguelists and Zayista factions of
the Liberal party, and the frequency
with which political meetings broke
up amid fierce fighting. Recently.
however, reports from the island in
dicated a subsistence of excitement
and apparently disposition of the
warning factions to get together.
The first Cuban election, that o.
Z 1904, at which President. Estrads
!, Palma was elected for second term
!, was confessedly carried by fraud
which fact led directly to the revolu
tion of August, 1906, the overthrow o
