LETTER-CARRIERS LOSE
THEIR APPEAL TO |. c. C.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-By a deci-
sion of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission handed down today the Ma
tional Association of Letter Carriers
lost a notable case which 1t had insti-
tuted against a large number of rail-
road lines. The defendant roads filed
tariffs with the commission providing
for special reduced %round-trip fares on
the certificate plan in connection with
the national convention of the associa-
ton held at st. Paul, Mimi, In 1909,
such reduced fares being conditioned
upon the presentation Of one thousand
or more certificates. Less than one
thousand certificates were available to
be vised, and therefore the reduced
fare for the return trip was denied.
The railroads expressed their willing
ness to give the reduced rates provided
they could do so without violating the
provisions of their tariffs. The COM
mission holds that the tariff provisions
are binding and must control.

cision of his public career. I pointed
out to him the deep discredit that

to seek the senatorship.
Finding him utterly contemptuous
of the primary n towards Mr.. Mar

the State would be disgraced should
Mr.. MARITIME, rather than he, represent
1t in the Senate, 1 tried to point out to
him, in all kindness, the only
course that lay open to him in the
circumstances if he would win the re-
spect of thoughtful men.

the only honorable course open to him
was to come out n say that he was
not himself a candidate and would
cooperate in the choice of any man
whom general opinion might agree
upon as representing not special inter-
ests, but the opinion and the charac-
ter Of the State.
II was suggesting a course for him,
not choosing n for myself. My own
duty was plain from the first. He told
me that he did not know of any such
man in the State who had any claim
on the party comparable to his own.

FLOOD OF SMALL COINS
BACK IN u. S. VAULTS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The food
of small coins which the mints ground
out for the Christmas trade has begun
to find its way back to the vaults of
the United States treasury, where it
will lie until another holiday shopping
season. Some twenty millions in all, In
dimes, quarters and halves, are coming
into Washington by express. Stores
hustle the coin to the banks and the
banks quickly e ii back to the treas
ury. 1t is being redeemed mostly IN
silver certificates.
Christmas this year made a new rec
ord in the demand for pennies. For
three weeks preceding Christmas the
Philadelphia mint stamped out coppers
at the rate of 1,2o0,o 900 a day without
stemming the demand. Where the
pennies all went no one knows. None
of them ever return to the treasury.
They seem to be lost in circulation.

DAVIS SORRY WILSON TURNS
BACK UPON HIS ELECTORS.

JERSEY CITY, Dec. 2s. - Robert
Davis, Democratic leader of Hudson
county. expressed himself yesterday as
pleased with the answer of former
United States Senator James Smith,
jr., to Woodrow Wilson on the Sena-
torial situation.
Mr.. Smith," said Collector Davis,
Speaks like a man who knows what
he is talking about. It's a great state
ment. 1t seems to answer DR.. Wilson
very fully. Smith is more certain to-
day than he yer was Of winning the
Senatorship. He is sure to beat Mar
tine"
when I give my word 1 stand by
it, as every man knows" Mr.. Davis
declared, and 1 don't intend at this
late day to ruin my reputation for
keeping my word under any and all
circumstances. I make mistakes-what
man doesn't?-but I believe still that
my Judgment in this fight for the
United States Senatorship is sound, be-
cause the opponents Of Smith are
mainly Republican and Democratic
mischief-makers. They are trying to
destroy the Democratic organization
which made possible the nomination
and election of Woodrow Wilson as
Governor and a Democratic Legislature
on joint ballot.
II am sorry to see Go~vernor-elect
Wilson turn his back on the Demo
cratic organization that worked faith
fully and well to elect him and to Sc
cure a Legislature that would back
him up in his reform policies. I regret
that Governor-elect Wilson ~disagrees
with many leaders of his party on the
United States ~Senatorship, but this is
his privilege.
"But what is not right is the use
of the office of Governor to drive
Legislators to vote for or against any
man for United States Senator. 1t is
the privilege of each Democratic mem
Der of the Legislature to vote for whom
he pleases for United States Senator.
He has hat right under the Constitu-
ton.
81 have no vote in the Legislature,
neither las DR.. Wilson. If any one
asks his advice, he has a right to give
it, the same as / do. But / am not
sending for any Assemblymen to die
tate to them what they shall do. If
they choose to call on me, I discuss
the matter with them. I surely have
that right"

ton Is Brewing.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 2s.-Snn.
day morning. January l, is the date sci
for the uprising against the Davils
government in Honduras by the fol-
lowers of General Manuel Bonilla, ac-
cording to rumors current last night
based upon the word of men very close
In the councils of the Central American
circles in New Orleans.
1t Is believed that both General
Bonilla and General Lee Christmas,
who disappeared from New Orleans
very mysteriously the day after the
Hornet sailed. are now on their way
to Central American waters. 1t Is
thought they will not attempt to join
the Hornet, but will land somewhere
along the border of Honduras and i'm
mediately a general uprising will fob
low, the Hornet to act In concert with
the land movement.
It Is claimed hat fully 1900 refugees
from Honduras now in Nicaragua, to-
gether with a large number of exilea
in other countries. are ready to make
their way to the front and rally about
the Bonilla standard.
1t is whispered in Central American
circles that the army of Honduras will
be depleted by large numbers of men
through desertion to the Bonilla stand
ard the moment trouble breaks out.
That nothing has happened in the
country as yet is indicated by wireless
messages received in New Orleans yes
terday by private persons from both
Puerto CorteZ and Ceiba, none OF
which speaks of any revolt.

TO SHOW YOKE
Of NATRIMOAY
BY THUMB RING
.Cupid's Wing Club Suggests
Measure to Prevent Benedicts
Posing as Bachelors.

TRENTON, Dec. 2S.-Few topics are
more generally discussed here today
than the bill proposed by the Cupid's
Wing Club, of this city, and submitted
to Governor-elect Wilson, to compel
married men to wear a ring on their
thumb. under penalty of fine n i'm
prisonment. The club Is composed OF
prominent matrons.
They have organized to protect their
daughters and other kinswomen
against the wiles of married men Who
masquerade as bachelors. 1t Is their
purpose to have the bill introduced as
soon as the Legislature meets. The
penalty provided in 1t for failure to
wear the so-called thumb ring" when
away from their homes is two years
Imprisonment and a fine of $500. Nor
is 1t the purpose of the members OF
the club to ignore married women who
masquerade as single.
IF we succeed in getting this bill
passed there necessarily must be a sis
ter bill passed compelling married
women to wear rings Mrs. Charles
Howell, president of the Cupid's Wing
Club, said today. MANY homes ave
been made unhappy, we have found, by
husbands posing as single men and
making love to others than their wives
and by married women posing as sin
gle women and receiving the addresses
of men other than their husbands.
Several instances in which young girls
have suffered by falling in love with
married men whom they thought single
have been reported to u.s."

NAMES Of PASTOR
AND WIFE ARE OFF
THE CHURCH ROLL

duct be known, for if we have not
sinned there is no. reason for fear or
shame"
AT the conclusion Of the prayer
meeting last night Mr.. Lumbar was
asked by a reporter to make a state
ment. Il really do not know what !
can say" declared the pastor. 1.-The
meeting tonight ought to show plainly
the attitude of the church towards me.
While 1t is true that some of the men,
bers have criticised me, it is also true
that no man in public life ever escapes
criticism. l think that l will have a
statement to make in the next day or
two, but l am not certain" When
asked who besides Mr.. and Mrs. Ward
were going with him to Canada, Mr..
Lumbar replied hat all but two of the
original six families are expected to go.
ut is ridiculous to say" he continued,
that the families have decided to
abandon the trip. They are as anxious
to go now as they ever were"
In asking that his name be dropped
from the church books, Mr.. Lumbar
stated that he had contemplated leav-
ing the church for the last two years
for personal reasons and that the de-
cision is by no means unprecedented.
He asked the congregation to settle
their differences and work for the cause
OF the church and religion. He affirmed
that he leaves the church with love for
the members in his heart, and that he
will always remember the Mt. Pleasant
Church and the Woodworking members
that made the church what it is.
In reading the lesson for the evening
from the first epistle of Peter, Mr..
Lumbar tool occasion to say that some
people have said that the second epistle
was not written by Peter. but that
some people always knew things that
did not happen or were not true.
Shake Hands with Pastor.
AS the members were leaving the
church they stopped to shake hands
with the pastor and expressed their re-
grets at his leaving.
One or two of the trustees took occa-
sion to criticise the pastor after leav-
ing the church and said hat the
charges should have been Investigated.
When asked why they were not, they
readily stated that it vas because the
trustees had lot the courage of their
convictions.
1T is true" said one, that we have
letters in our possession to prove that
the pastor Is guilty, but we did not use
them because there was not a man in
the church that had the courage to
make a public statement. We admit
that we We're wrong, but now 1t is TOO
late to alter the case"
Church Clerk Beardsley tried to read
a resolution last night, but since 1t was
not a business meeting he couldn't do
so. The resolution referred to the talk
ing up of all church questions by the
church itself, without the interference
of an outside body.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Friends of
Charles w. Morse, the New York bank
er, who is serving a sentence in the
Atlanta p~enitentiary, have about de-
cided to concentrate their efforts for

has also been urging Mr.. Wickersham
to hurry his confederation of Morse's
pardon; If necessary, out OF it's urn.

enforce their demands for increased

crecy, as the employees consider that
their chance of success depends largely
upon surprising the authorities. The
government is doing It's utmost to

that a serious situation would result IL
the more than 800 men who have
voted in favor of a strike should go
out.
More than four-fifths of the railway

to tie up the whole system and cripple
industries dependent on the ines of

ers in direct conflict with the State.

books as an engagement token.
I'm times of long ago" said DR.. Kor-
shet, the man either captured his fe-
male partner or purchased her from her
parents with presents. When she was
already his he placed a crude ring upon
her finger. 1t was regarded as a SYM
boil Of inferiority and made the wearer
appear in the light of personal prop

lon and helpmate. Therefore l gave
Miss Riskin something for her mind,

WEST UNION, o., Dec. 2S.-The
bought and sold" voters of Adams
county are in a panic. The crush has
become so great that Judge Blair can
not find time to near long confessions.
Today more than a hundred men who
had not been indicted and whose names
had not been mentioned in connection
with the buying and selling of votes
flocked into the courtroom and con-
fessed to having sold their franchises.
The deputy sheriffs are reaping a
harvest. 1t costs from 81 to s15 to ar
rest men, according to the expenses OF
the deputies who have been instructed
to get their men regardless of outlay.
The expenses of the crusade win be
about SO per cent. OF the money col
lected.
The county commissioners have power
to transfer the funds, and a movement
has been started to use the money
toward building a new Court House.
The Adams county grand jury early
today reported 145 additional true bills
against citizens accused of selling their
votes at the November election. This
makes a total of $50 Indictments al
ready returned.
Procession of Penitents.
The professions of penitents who are
coming to court daily to plead guilty
still keeps up. 1t has become some
