CHRISTMAS SEALS
ARE NOT STAMPS,
SAYS UNCLE sam
Rules Regarding Holiday Season
Mail Matter Are Made
Public.
~


A letter from the postmaster-general
was received at the postofacere here
today, notifying the postal authorities
of Newark Of the regulations made by
foreign countries In connection with
mails bearing Christmas seals or char
ity stamps. The following countries,
Guatemala, Uruguay and Portugal, re-
fuse to admit to their mails articles
bearing non-postage stamps, whether
the regulation government stamps are
affixed or not.
A great deal of confusion n disap-
pointment has resulted in the last few
wears from a misunderstanding of the
postal value of Christmas charity
stamps. Thousands Of letters and
packages were held UP in the Newark
postofice last year because persons had
mailed them without affixing the reg
ular government stamps. The victims
of their own charitable inclinations be-
lieved that the charity stamps were
SUFFICIENT to carry the mail to its des-
tinatior. As a matter of fact they
have no value in transmitting mail.
A number of countries insist upon
the charity stamps being placed on the
back Of the articles and not on the ad-
dress side. Following is the letter re-
ceived at the Newark postoffice today

Mccoy.

Camp Bruce E. Mccoy, Sparta
An accident, fortunately not serious,
but nevertheless exceedingly painful,
befell Brig. Gen. Walter Howe when
he fell from his horse while watch
ing the big maneuver problem.
Gen. Howe had just mounted his
horse preparatory to starting for
camp when his horse SHE'D at some
thing in the bushes, unseating him
and throwing him to the ground.
His aids rushed to his assistance as
quickly as possible and found him
unable to rise Medical aid was sum-
moned and the general was taken
back to camp.
Gen. Howe is quite a heavy man,
and at first it was thought that he
had suffered broken ribs. Examina-
ton showed no serious injuries other
than a severe shaking up. 1t is
thought that he will recover in a
short time.
Gov. Carroll witnessed parade
and review of the entire Iowa bri-
gade during the afternoon before re-
turning to his duties at Des Moines.
The Ffty-fifth regiment, entrained
for their home states, left camp at
the conclusion of the weeks work.
The rest of the troops will follow.

department of the Plankinton Pack
ing company, foot of Thirteenth
street, was practically destroyed by
fire.
The fire damage, in addition TO
that done by water, which is great,
owing to the fact that the base
ments of adjoining warehouses were
flooded, probably will bring the loss
TO $4,000. This is partially cover
ed by insurance.
According to officials of the COM

In the basement of warehouses b

damaged by the water.
The fremen were not able to
reach the fire until the roof had

The fire was discovered by the

The building was of three-story
brick construction and had been used
as smOkehouse, storehouse, and snip

There was some danger at the
start on account of ammonia fumes,
but the engineer succeeded in turn

Omro.-The fight between the
Rev. Daniel Woodward, pastor of
Omro Methodist church, and church
men who objected to his taking the
stump for Francis E. McGovern and
against county option, has come to
climax when Mr.. Woodward prac-
tically ousted from his own church,

Mr.. Woodward called attention to

When it was learned that Mr..

ROOSEVELT BEATEN
COLONEL ENROLLS HIMSELF
WITH EMPIRE STATE "PRO-
GRESSIvES".
WILL FIGHT OLD GUARD
Election of Roosevelt Delegates to
Convention Expected to Be Issue
at Primaries. Government Off
Gals Stand on Reorga

New York-James S. sherman
yice-president of the United States,
was selected as the chairman OF the
republican state convention which
| will meet in Saratoga, Sept. q, by
! the republican state committee. A
motion by Lloyd Griscom, chairman
of the New York county committee,
that Col Roosevelt be substituted
for sherman was defeated, 20 TO 10.
The choice of Sherman was made
unanimous after a statement from
Committeeman William Barnes, Jr,
that he was sure GrisCom had pro-
posed RoOsevelt's name without the
knowledge or consent of the latter.
The fight was one of the most spir-
tied seen in the republican state COM
mittee for years.
This is Col ROosevelts second de-
feat at the hands of the 'old guard, ="
the first having been the legisla-
lures refusal TO pass the Cobb di-
rect primary bill, although Mr..
Roosevelt especially endorsed it,,
With his setback plans for harmony
within the party in the state re-
ceived a severe jolt, and as soon as
Col Roosevelt heard the news he
issued statement.
1t was the most pointed political
statement since his return and those
who saw him were convinced that he
had determined to begin an open
fight on the old guard" The state
ment follows:
ITO the various persons who asked
me whether | would accept the posi-
ton Of temporary chairman of the
state convention | said that | would
do so only if they were sure, after
knowing my attitude, that they de-
sired me, because my speech would
be OF such a character that il might
help if the convention nominated the
right kind of a man on clearcut,
progressive platform but that ii
would hurt if neither the right kind
Of man were nominated nor the
right kind Of platform adopted.
Although repudiated, it does not
necessarily mean that Col. Roosevelt
will not be temporary chairman. The
convention delegates themselves will
decide who is TO open the meeting
and deliver the keynote speech.
III lHt interval DtlNftH no" anu
Sept. u it is expected that the strug-
gle between the organization and
the Rooseyelt-lIughes forces will be
carried into every corner Of the state,
and that the chief issue at the pri-
maries will be for the election Of
Roosevelt or anti-ROOSevelt delegates
to the convention.
Whether Mr.. Sherman lent his sup
port toward the colonel's defeat has
not yet been determined
Lloyd G. Griscom, who presented
the COlOnels name, said:
Il do not know whether the action
by the committee will have any eff
feet on Mr.. Roosevelts attitude dur
ing the state campaign. Mr.. Roose-
welt Is TO be a delegate TO the state
convention. 1t seems to me that, as
the only living former president of
the United States, the party in this
state owes him at least the tempo
rary embarrassing"
