CHRISTMAS CARDS
 SWAMP POST OFFICE
Thousands Upon Thousands Are Be ing Handled Daily, Incoming
 and Outgoing.

Among the records smashed this week by the Phoenix pOstoffice is the Christmas postcard record. The of flee is almost swamped under d perfect storm of little cards bearing holiday greetings.
 All day yesterday there were at least two or three people waiting for turn at the letter drops, and at least two thirds of them didn't go away without dropping in a few cards. The clerks .on the inside watched the cards pour through the slot and threw up their hands in despair. Long rows of cards accumulated on table devoted to this class of mail and it was only with the greatest difficulty that they were all stamped and sent.
 There are very few picture cards be- ing mailed Nearly every one has some little very. a bunch of flowers and, perhaps, a bird, on the back. They're just common. ordinary Christmas greeting cards. being sent out to every part of the world. It's s) much cheap CT to send a card than to buy a pres ent.
 Every store where cards are kept reports an enormous ant unprecedent- ed demand for Christmas cards. Most of those that are sold cost only cent apiece
 Naturally the enormous number of Christmas cards going out has its ef- feet on the sales of l-cent stamps. Monday 1O.945 1-cent stamps were sold, while II, $40 were sold Tuesday. At a late hour yesterday afternoon it was estimated that the days sales of this stamp would reach 9.200. It is safe 10 sav that nine-tenths of the 1-centers sold Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday have already been used to convey holi- day greetings to friends in other climes.
 Four or five years ago the ration of 2-cent stamp sales was four to one Now the two stamps run about even as to numbers
 Mondays total of stamp sales. all denominations was 6G1l4; Tuesday dropped to s641.SO. and Wednesday 10 approximately $56O

Moods Of Uncertainty As
To Future Outlook.
Railroad Executives Are Con-
fused Over Situation.
Money Market Shows RssupsratIon
In Credit Position.

| New York, June 19.-The arrest Of
speculative activity in the securities
market reflects completion of opera
lions based on past happenings and a
mood of uncertainty over future de-
velopments. The pause in the liquida-
ton is evidence of the accomplishment
of much of speculative defiation that
was called for by the excuses Of last
| year and, more Immediately. by the
alarm felt over the injunction obtain
ed by the government against propos-
ed freight increases.
The assumption of satisfaction with
the agreement between the govern
ment and the railroads over the rate
settlement which was expressed in the
violent rebound in prices was met by
renewed complaints from prominent
railroad officials with the situation
thus offered mixed with cheerful
professions from other railroad off,
Gals of equal prominence, coupled
with criticism of the complaining at
titude of their fellows. The confusion
thus displayed in the opinions of rail-
road executives themselves has caused
like conditions in speculative senti-
ment. 1t is felt that the manner of
working of the new railroad law must
be awaited to resolve the perplexities.
In order to enforce their pleas for in
creased freight rates, the railroad
rates are expected to emphasize the
burden of expense under which they
labor and the necessity of retrench-
ment and economy.
The aggressive steps of organized
shipping interests in opposition to the
freight advances will intensity the
struggle. 1t is feared that the practi-
cal measures involved in this contest
may interfere with efforts to stimulate
demand for stocks and an advance
in prices.
Counter considerations keep the bear
party in restraint and leave the stock
market almost stagnant. The extent
to which the liquidation and the de-
cline in prices have gone in themselves
make the bear party cautious. Read
justment in commodity markets has
kept pace with that in stocks and the
statement of the country's foreign
trade for May shows the effect in the
expansion in exports and the falling
off in imports resulting from the COR
rection of the abnormal price levels
which has been maintained.
The money market gives evidence of
the recuperation already effected In
the credit situation. The easy tone
of call and short time loans owes
something to the disposition of lead
ers to keep funds available for the
fall developments.
The call of the controller of the
currency for statement of condition.
now imminent. will be awaited with
the expectation that some correction
of the extended credit position of the
banks will be shown.

opening the meeting said in part:
Members of the Maine Sportsmen's
Fish and Game Association Ladies'
and Gentlemen:
We have assembled here in one of
the grandest and most glorious parts
Of Gods country, which country is the
State of Maine. for our annual mid
summer meeting and outing.
Our association stands for the pre-
servation of game. the propagation of
fish, a care for our myriads OF song
birds, and the protection of and con-
servation of our forests
One of it's most important missions
is also to promulgate public sentiment
in favor of wholesome forest lake and
stream sports, and the advancement
of proper and judicious legislation in
the interests of such.
And it is well proven fact that
activities along these lines aid to an
inestmable extent one of Maines
greatest industries. namely that Of

cinating little book. called "England
and the English" in his chapter on

The first settlers in America. in
deed all the inhabitants thereof until
very recently. needed no sports for
their training or their diversion"

Civilization in those rough years was
hard training enough. and every citizen
was obliged to play the game. whether
he liked 1t or not.
But increased prosperity and, above all.
steam and electricity, not only in Ameri

the necessity for constant physical exer-

The best of mankind. however. know
intuitively that luxury is the most nsid-

Adjournment Expected by
Last Of This Week.
Possibly on Thursday, but un-
doubtedIy by Saturday.
Vast Amount Of Legislation Sc
cured by Pres. Taft.

Washington, June 19.-CongresS lead
ers confidently expect to wind UP the
business of the present session this
week and adjourn not later than Sat
urday. If the session is carried beyond
that time. it will be because of amend
ment to the general deficiency bill or
complications which may arise in con-
nection With the omnibus public build
lngs bill Some members look for adj
journment as early as Thursday
1t is pointed out by Republican lead
ers that there never has been a Con-
gress where a President has obtained
the amount of legislation that has re-
suited from the demands of President
Taft. Starting in with a demand for
revision Of the tariff he procured this
, at an extraordinary session. Then at
| the beginning of the present session he
demanded legislation amendatory Of
the Interstate Commerce laws, enabl-
| ing the President to pursue a forward
| conservation policy, admitting Arizona
| and New Mexico to statehood. creating
postal savings banks and on the sub
: ieCt of the use of injunctions. Bills on
| all these subjects except anti-injunc
ton have passed both branches of
Congress. The anti-inj junction measure
! will have to wait until next session
but it is said the prospects are good for
! it's passage at that time. All of the
regular supply bills have passed both
houses except the general deficiency
| BID That was passed by the House
| Saturday and viii be reported to the
| Senate not later than Tuesday. I'm
less there is trouble over a scheme for
the retirement of superannuated en-
ployes of the government it is thought
| its passage will not take more than one
day.
The postal savings bank bill is still
| before the Senate. 1t came from the
House in the form Of an amended bill
and Senator Carter moved that the
Senate concur in the House amend
ment. Opposition developed and the
motion has been debated intermittently
| since the bill returned from the House
President Taft approves of the House
bill and it seems reasonably certain
| that the Senate will accept it.

Portland. Me. June 19-Following
close upon yesterday mornings trag-
edy in Gorham. a West End home was
last evening the scene of a murder and
suicide. when William Libby, a laborer,
shot his young wife dead and then sent
a bullet through his own brain from
the effects of which he died few hours
later at the Maine General hospital.
Last nights tragedy was, however.
very simple affair. there being no
qeuStion about the material facts in
the case. the only thing thing lacking
being the knowledge of what could
have prompted the man to perform his
dreadful act.
The shooting took place at the home
of Clarence Larrabee where Mr.. and
for a month, had met as it was sup
posed to effect a reconciliation. Mrs
Libby was shot twice through the right
temple and in the opinion of Or. 7. r.
BODICE, who was called, must have
died almost instantly.
After killing his wife, Libby fired
two shots at himself, one of which
penetrated the skull at the right tenn
pie. the other cutting his right hand
The man was As years old and the
woman %.
What the cause Of the double trag-
DIV was could not be learned last
evening. but it is believed to have been
jealousy.
