WHOLE NEST OF POEMS.
Written by Whittier and Hitherto I'm
recognized as His.

Amesbury, Mass. Dec 21.-Samuel
+ Pickard, the biographer of John
Greenleaf Whittier, and now living in
the the old whittier home in this town,
Whole nest of poems by Whittier
never before recognized as his" In
commenting on his study of volume
OF the New England Review of 1880
81, Mr.. Pickard says:
find much that has escaped me hither-
to- | have found whole nest of
poems by Whittier never before recog-
nlzed as his The signature was the
odd one. 'Feramorz.' I find that Fer
amorzs poems are Winters and that

after he became editor of the Review. -

TO AMEND OWN RULE.
Insurgents Are Not Satisfied With
What They Have Done.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Further revi-
sion of the rules of the house is con-
templated by the insurgent members.
Conferences have been held to deter
mine the form of the amendments that
are to be offered.
The insurgents are not satisfied with
the manner in which the new rule
giving the house power to discharge a
committee from the consideration OF a
bill was administered when it's first trial
occurred. This rule was procured after
a hard fight last session to provide the
means whereby bill could be brought
before the house when committee re-
fused to report it, or delayed too long
in acting upon it.
Speaker Cannon ruled that the pos
tai reorganization bill should be read
in full when the motion was made to
bring it before the house. Less than
one-fourth of the bill could be read
and at the same rate, it will take at
least three more days to finish the read
ing.
AS this business is recognized only
every first and third Monday Of the
month, all motions of like character
will be delayed almost two months be-
fore the motion finally is put to the
house as to whether the postal bill shall
be considered.
The insurgents declare this is a re-
straint of business which can be easily
remedied by small change in the rule
They propose to offer another amend
ment that will require only the read
ing of the title of the bill when the
motion is made to discharge the COM
mittee, and to bring it before the house
Further than this the insurgents pro-
pose another amendment to limit the
debate that can be had on bills on the
calendar. They think too much time IS
given to unimportant measures and
that business will be greatly expedited
if such an amendment is offered
1t has not been determined what
member shall introduce the new amend
ment, but the insurgent Republicans
practically are united on their plans.
They do not anticipate fight IN hav-
ing these changes made.

RADFORD TRIAL AT END.
State VIII Close Its Case Against For
mer Grain Chief Today.

Kansas City, Dec. 21.=The state
will close its case against John W.
Raoford, former state grain inspector
OF Kansas, today. Mr.. Radford is
charged with misrepresentation of
funds. H H. Daniels, cashier of the
bank in which the funds were kept.
was the principal witness yesterday.
He testified that when deposits were
made the slips We're written by A D.
Crotts, former chief clerk, and not
by Mr.. Radford.
The state has shown that the ac-
counts of the department were short
and the defense is seeking to show
that Mr. Radford had nothing to do
with handling the money.

BUSINESS WAS GOOD.
Postal Revenue for Last Fiscal Year
Increased $2O,966,247.

Washington, Dec. 21-Dr. Charles P.
Grandfield first assistant postmaster
general, in his annual report to Post
master General Hitchcock, shows that
the number of postoffices in operation
on June 80, 1910, was $3.50. The gross
revenue of the postal service during
the fiscal year amounted to 1924, 12S,-
657 81, an increase of $40, $50, 247.55 The
expenditures for the year aggregated
1929 977. 224.5 an increase of IS, 1897, 121.6 81.
The deficit was $5,s4S,5 66.S8, as CON-
pared with SIT Al, 1882 for the preced-
ing year. Although the business Of the
postal service increased during the last
fiscal year more than 10 per cent the
expenditures decreased from an aver
age of sos per cent for each of the ten
years preceding to 4.06 per cent in 1910.
The number of postoffices established
during the year was 1,509 and the num-
Der discontinued 2073. At presidential
offices 2,576 postmasters were appoint
ed and at fourth class offices, 9.428
postmasters were appointed.
The net increase in the expenditure
for postoffice clerks during the year
was 81, 917 900, making the total ex-
penditures $31, $50. 5S7; for letter carriers
the net increase was 81, $50. S25, resulting
in an aggregate cost of 800 392, 579,
which was $16047 less in 1910 than in
the previous fiscal year.
An urgent recommendation is male
that in the event of the death of post
Office clerk IN the line OF MS uuIy pro-
vision be made for the payment Of :,
reasonable sum to his heirs, precisely as
now is done in the event of the death
of a railway postal clerk in the line OF
duty. It is shown that the increasing
use of labor saving machinery in the
modern city postoffice makes greater
the liability to accidents. In the office
at New York alone four employees
have been killed and sixty-four in
capacitated since 1908, as the result of
injuries received in the performance of
their duty, vet it has not been possible
for the department to afford them or
their families any assistance.
DIR. Grandfield says:
There is very strong sentiment
throughout the country in favor of the
discontinuance of the delivery of mail
on Sundays, and this sentiment should
be respected. If the plan of discon-
tinuing entirely Sunday service by let

WAR TALK IS SILLY.
That Is the verdict of the Head of the
United States Army.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Major General
Leonard A Wood, chief Of staff of the
United States army, in an address at
a banquet of the Burnside post, G. A.
r., characterized the so-called war
scare as silly declaring he neither
saw any prospect of war nor had any
fear of such a contingency but simply
had advocated careful reorganization of
the country's t'undeveloped military re-
sources
"All this silly talk said Gen. Wood.
may be answered by one word of three
letters, which 1 shall not offend you to
repeat. The army isn't afraid Of war
nor is it filed with the valor of ignor-
ance. Many persons like TO talk about
the tremendous war resources of the
country but it's just like the man who
has met a reverse in Wall street and
offers an undeveloped mine as an asset.
Our resources will continue to be
invaluable If the other fellow gives US
time, but we don't think he will.
1.-The work of the army at present is
to do the best it can in developing the
country's military resources and to be
of assistance in organizing the militia
and it was in view of extending that
work we have asked for 500 to 700
additional officers.
when the officers who will have
been with the militia four years come
back to US, we will receive the full
benefit of the civilians viewpoint,
something WHICH we, IKE the uleH VI
any other profession, are not always
likely to see"
General Wood said that no additional
troops had been asked for from con-
gress but that the suggestion had been
made for a continuing committee Of
congress with the idea that recomnen-
dations occasionally presented to con-
gress might have the Endorsement of
members of that body.
''All of us are interested in many
ways in developing the latent military
resources which We have in times Of
peace" continued the general
I've expect wars in the future just as
We have had them in the past. We know
that by arbitration many small difficulties
will be settled, but we believe that the
country should be ready to defend her
interests when necessary. For as long as
nations believe that they are right, they
will fight"
General Wood said he did not believe
the army of the country could be made
into the military machine characteristic
of foreign armies, but that excellent re-
suits could be achieved by putting trained
officers in command of the militia SO that
the National Guard might constitute an
emergency force for war use.

Earth Tremors Recorded.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Slight earth

last night, beginning at 11:52 D. m.
and lasting until 1902 a. m. The
tremors were of very irregular type,
not permitting of any determination
of maximum nor estimate of Khe dis

effects of past earthquake. The rec
ord was shown both by the horizontal

Suicide Facts.

According to a compilation recently
published, there were 7,643 suicides IN
Prussia in 1908. The most remarkable
point about the statistics is that thare
we're more suicides in summer than in
winter. 1t appears, according to the
figures, that people have the least IN
clination to quit this life on Saturday
and Sunday.
