Several Theories Are Advanced But
the Truth Is Not Yet
Known.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. S.--Develop-
ments in the past "a hours have
served only to complicate the mystery
surrounding the murder of Rice. The
finding of a gunny sack containing a
number of dead chickens, leads to the
belief that he was killed by chicken
thieves.
Detective Doran believes he was
killed by footpads who were surpris-
ed by an approaching automobile be-
fore they had time to rob him.
Rice's brofner-in-law believes Rice
was killed by enemies. If this is so,
he says it was by some man of i'm
portance as Rice was not interested
in anything but large affairs for
many years.
Pasquale Guiliano, aged IL, a cad
die, who was discharged from the
Euclid club by Attorney Rice, is be.
ing held by the police. pending inves
tigation into Rice's murder.
The total reward for the appre
hension of those who killed Rice has

news OF interesting developments I'M
the revolution in Honduras on his ar
rival from Ceiba last evening. He
was on the Island of Ufilla, twenty
miles north of Ceiba, when the Bon

Christmas, took possession and was
received with open arms by the few

Christmas issued orders prohibiting
anyone from leaving the island until

and this he did Tuesday, taking his
machine guns. large force of na-
tives and twenty-five Americans to al

he established base of operations.
There are 500 men at Tela ready to

Christmas has arms for the whole

REDUCED
s11,eoo,ooo
Remarkable Showing for the Past
Year Which Shows What Can
be Done by Careful
Attention.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock has issued a
statement analyzing the reduction of
$11,600,0o0 in last years postal de.
fcit. OF the amount saved approx,
mately s2,soo,0oo represented econ
onies in post Office management.
Nearly S1,000,000 Of which sum result
ed from more business-like handling
of the city delivery business. While
this service was actually extended and
the number of carriers Increased dur
Ing the year, the reforms introduced
In Its management were most success
full In cutting down expenses.
Still larger savings, aggregating
close to S2,000,000, were made in the
international management of the post
office, including the conduct of the
money order and registry systems and
the handling of the various working
forces other than carriers. While
the numbers of employees was consid-
erably increased to meet the growing
business, the excess of expenditures
over receipts was materially lessened.
lAOOA tooiiLotiOn Ill lllS Iuldi uSllNSig y
service was responsible for about ST.
100000 of the savings made in the de-
| ficit, and this was accomplished with
ont any curtailment of service. A re-
| duction of S900,0D0 can be credited to
! the star route service, including mis-
cellaneous transportation of mail
! other than railways. The combined
| savings made in the cost of handling
the mails in post offices and in all
branches of the service other than
] railway transportation, including an
item Of S450,000 for supplies and mis-
cellaneous expenses. made an aggre.
4 gate reduction in the deficit of s6,-
1 10000.
AS for the cost of railway mail
( transportation, the preliminary rec
ords for the year indicate reduction
Of about s4,7oo,o0o in the excess ex
Denditrres over receipts. There
! shonld be added to this a reduction
4 OF sTs00G9 in the relative cost of con
ducrine the railway mail service, max
Ing a total of S5,450000 in the amount
Of the deficiency traceable to the rail
way branch of the postal business
In fact, the economies in tha
branch fell little short of those ac
4 complished in the branches of the ser
vice other than railway mail transpor
tation.
The total cut of s11 100000 in the
deficit is remarkable as being far il
excess OF any annual reduction pre-
viously accomplished Through thu
decade ended June 80 1909. thu
growth in the expenditures for the
service more than kept pace with thu
growth in revenue, the average an
nual increase in expenditures amount
ing to sos per cent while the aver
age annual increase in revenue wa
cnly 7.91 per cent, but in the las
fiscal year an increase OF about Il
PER cent in revenues was accompanies
by an increase of less than 4 per cen
in expenditures.
