Seattle, Wash Dec. 13.-News is anxiously awaited concerning the fate of the 106 persons on the steamship Olympia, which went on the rocks at the southeastern end of Bligh island, Prince William Sound, Alaska, during a furious storm. Steamers and launches were hurried to the aid of the vessel from Seward, Valdez and Katalla, and, if the gals has permitted the passengers should have reached Valdez by this time.
 Latest dispatches from Cordova and Valdez say no word has been received from the wireless operator on the Olympia to indicate that any of the res"uing craft hal arrived. The only means of communication between Seattle, Cordova and Valdez is by mili- tary cable, operated by the United States army signal corps.
 Steamer Pounding on Rocks.
 The last word received by the opera tor at the naval wireless station at Cordova was that the passengers and crew were still aboard the Olympia, which was being pounded and tossed about on the sharp rocks by the heavy sea- On account of the fury of the storm, the passengers will not attempt to take to the small boats unless they see that the steamer can hold together no longer.
 Gable dispatches received by the As. sociated Press from Cordoya indicate that Wireless Operator Hayes is the hero of the wreck.
 In spite of the fact that the Olympia was being tossed violently and the wireless was worked with difficulty. Hayes stuck to his post and managed to reach the operator on duty at the naval wireless station at Cordova with his calls for assistance. The opera tors kept in touch with each other as much as possible, but there were dis. tressingly long intervals when the gov. ernment's shore station was unable to detect a vibration from the Olympia's wireless.
 Hayes continued at his post and iiAl1'iit ohNtCNdNu III SCINillS HIS illSLTu- ments to work long enough to flash the good news to the shore station. 40 miles away, that all were still on board the Olympia, hopeful tha5 she would hold together until the rescuers arrived.
 Seven in Previous Wreck.
 For seven of the 52 passengers on the Olympia. this is the second ship wreck experience within few days. They first sailed from Seattle Decem- Der l on the steamer Northwestern. The vessel was only few hours out of port when she went on the rocks in False bay, San Juan island. Her passengers were brought hack to Seattle and sailed again on tte Olym- pia.

POSTMASTER GENERAL ASKS FOR HIGHER RATES ON
 MAGAZINE MAIL.
CHEAPER POSTAL NOTES
Wants Civil Service Rules Applied to Fourth Glass Postmasters-Thi Money Lost on Rural Routes
 We'll Invested.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The chief rec concentrations made in the annual re- port of Postmaster General Frank II. Hitchcock are for a higher postage rate for magazines: parcels post, with maximum of Il pounds; cheaper pos tai notes for amounts not exceeding $10; curtailment of abuses of frank ing system by issue of special envel- opes and stamps; removal of entire postal service from politics; extension of rural delivery system; application of civil service rules to- fourth class postmasters; 30-day leaves of absence for postolfice and railway clerks and for city carriers.
 Deficit Cut $t1,5000o0.
 The report says that during the past 12 months the deAcit has been cut $11,5O0,O00.
 A year ago the fiscal records of the postal service disclosed a deficit of $11500,000, the largest in the history of the country. The excess of eXpend- itures over receipts for the year ended June 90 last amounted to only $5,S4S,- 566.
 The postmaster general says:
 The departments policy is to ex- tend the service as rapidly as is war ranted by increasing population In furtherance of this policy, 1900 new postolfices were established last year and 516 new rural delivery routes. tra- varsiDu all +pUatbar 10 DOE .,;1or were instituted. Nearly 3,600 new em- ployes, whose aggregate salaries were more. than $2,OO0,00O annually, were placed on the rolls. In addition $1,75O.- 900 was added to the salaries of letter carriers and S250,000 to the salaries of railway mail clerks. All increases in salary were based upon efficiency ratings.
 Higher Magazine Rate.
 On the subject of second class mat ter Hitchcock says:
 Tn levying the higher rate it is be- lieved distinction should be made be- tween advertising matter and what is termed legitimate reading matter
 Under present conditions an in- crease in the postage on reading mat ter is not recommended. Such an in- crease would place a special burden on large number of second class pup- lications, including educational and re- ligious periodicals that derive little or no profit from advertising. For these publications and also for any other legitim ate reading matter in pc riodical form, the department favors continuation of the present low rate of 1 cent pound, and recommends

Hart Will Captain
Princeton This Fall
Physicians Report His Physical Con-
ditiOn is All Right for
Playing.

PRINCETON, N. j., April 9.-The student
Dody Is elated over the report that Eddie
Kart, IL, is to be permitted to captain next
seasons Princeton varsity foot ball team.
According to the report Of the three ply
sicians who examined him at the request
OK the faculty athletic advisory board. Hart
may play foot ball without taking more
risks than fall to the lot of the average
athlete in the course OF a gridiron contest.
AT the close Of last season, Eddie Hart,
fullback, was elected captain OF the 1910
Princeton varsity. Directly after his cleo
ton stories arose from various sources
that the Tiger leader played foot ball with
a broken neck and used a special harness
In order to keep his head in position on
his shoulders. The foundation for the re-
port came from the tale Of an accident
which Hart sustained in prep. school. He
dived head first into the goal posts during
an Andover game and crumpled up his
neck. The injury vas a serious one.
When the story in its final version
reached the athletic officers Of Princeton
university they refused to permit Hart tot
continue foot ball and represent the Orange
ana Black while hiding split vertebrae in
a specially constructed foot ball helmet.
Hart declared that reports Of his broken
neck were greatly exaggerated and the
FACULTY requested him to submit TO a pbys.
lcal examination. A second set Of stories
Immediately appeared. stating that Hart
had been and was in a precarious
condition as far as his neck was Concerned.
The most recent examination was made on
March IL and Prof. McLenahan, chairman
OF the faculty committee on outdoor spo-t.

night.

made a number of X-ray examinations ana
to the unanimous conclusion that
Hart had never fractured any Of the ver-
tebrae and that there was no reason vbv
should have a head mask or protection
OF any kind unless It be a high collar NJ
leather or some soft material to prevent
strain. Their report was read as follows,
