it. From small beginnings of several
years ago, this arm Of the postal SER

important in the government. Here
tofore its operations have been con-
fined for the most part to the sup
preston Of the small swindler, but
in recent months it has turned its

Last spring it unearthed the big
frauds in the United Wireless Tele-

PATTERSON Men LOSE.
Patterson's Men Defeated by Inde-
pendent Ticket-ortlook Gloomy.

Nashville, Tenn, special.-The In
dependents elected their Judicial
tickets in Tennessee Thursday in one
Of the most exciting and hard fought
political contests ever known in the
State.
The Independents represent in a
large measure the Statewide prohi-
bition element of the Democratic
party which has been vigorously OPP
posing Gov. Patterson since his mem
orable campaign with the late ex-
Senator E. w. Carmack for the guber-
national nomination.
It took on added strength when the
State committee ordered a blanket
primary for nomination Of both judi
cial and State officers. These mem
bers Of the supreme court, Chief JUS
tice Beard and Justices Neal and
Shields, and Judges Wilson and Tav-
lor Of the. court of civil appeals re-
fused to enter the primary and the
independent movement was on.
Judges McAlister and Bell of the
supreme court entered the primary
and were on the regular ticket. Judge
Barton of the court of civil appeals
was also a nominee for supreme
court.
Gov. Patterson entered the lists for
the regular ticket and stunped the
State for it. His enemies lined up
solidly with the Independents.
The Endorsement by the Republic
can committee Of the Independents
was. followed by a break in Repub-
lican ranks and the negro vote, it
was alleged, was sSlidly for the reg
ular ticket. Negroes were registered
more freely than ever before and they
paid their poll taxes. The revolt in
the Republican ranks was led by
Jesse Littleton and many Of the
blacks followed him, but it seems not
in the numbers that have been pre-
dicted..
Enemies of Gov. Patterson claim
that the result Thursday will have
disastrous effect on hi spolitical flu
ture. He is a candidate for reelection
but as yet the opposition has not
shown its hand as to what steps will
be taken in putting out a ticket
against him.
In Democratic congressional pri-
maries in four districts incumbents
were renominated.

Postal Bank Scheme Developing.

Washington, D. C, Special.-A cen
trail clearing house in each State is a
feature of the Postal Savings Bank
system adopted by the committee of
officials that will make recommends
tions to the board of trustees. For
a long time the committee faced the
necessity Of providing some method
for the settlement Of accounts Of de-
positors in the postal banks that
would avoid delay incident to the
transmission of all such matters to
this city. The idea of having State
central clearing houses vas discuss
ed at length and has been adopted
as the best solution of that problem.
