had been approved by the department
and can be installed on any railroad
without further authorization. The
department also provides that all rail,
roads will be expected to equip with
some automatic device for the ex-
change Of mails within one year from
May s, 1910.
This action by the postoffice

the United States, but also In Canada
as the controller of the Railway Mail
Service at ottawa has now recon-
mended the Burr device for test on
Canadian railroads, with a view to its
adoption
The final adoption of such a device
is of the utmost Importance. not only
to the postofflce department, but to
the public, the railroads and the pos
tai clerks, as in addition to the several
thousand pouches and sacks destroy
ed every year and loss of contents.
there have also been derailments of
Vi diAS Win 'OSo VI lilSy Que " pOuCnco
or sacks striking switch stands, etc.
and frequently bystand~rs are serious
ly injured on account of being struck
by mail kicked or thrown from moving
trains by the clerks. A record kept
by the department for period OF
five months indicated that mail was
damaged in $4,000 cases.
The Burr device is operated auto
by air pressure taken from
the train line. When approach
Ing the station the clerk raises
a delivery frame into the car door and
sets the trigger on car. The mail to
be delivered is then placed on the de-
livery frame. and when the trigger
comes in contact with the trip post
at the station the mail is dispatched
into a receiving box. The present mail
catcher is used for catching the mail,
with the addition of patent locking
device. which has been in service on
he Rock Island for several years, and
after the pouch is taken from the
crane by this catcher 1t is impossible
for it to drop, as is frequently the
case with the present system.
This device is in daily operation on
Rock Island trains 1, 10, 26 and IA be-
,ween Chicago and Omaha.

S. E.. BALDWIN REFUSES
TO MEET ROOSEVELT
win Not Sit at Banquet With For
mer President-His Refusal is
Kept Quiet.

New Haven. Conn.-Governor-elect
Simeon f. Baldwin was not pres
ent at the annual banquet of the
Ney Haven chamber OF commerce for
the reason that he had refused to sit
at the same table with Theodore
Roosevelt.
Till the last. however, the governor
refused to tell whether or not he
would attend the banquet and there
were a few Of the diners who felt
confident that Judge Baldwin would
put in an eleventh hour appearance at
the banquet hall.
Officials of the chamber here. how
ever, had been notified. Neither they
nor Judge Baldwin wished it known
that he had refused tC attend the
banquet because any definite an
nouncement Of such action by him
would have resulted ia a stampede by
the Democratic members of the chan
be" and so many of them would have
followed the governor in refusing to
attend that the banquet woulc have
been a fizZle.
There were 700 present when
Colonel Roosevelt entered the Yale
d.n ng hall. where the feasting was
held. At the speakers table were
Colonel Roosevelt, Col Isaac Ullman,
president of the chamber of COM
MERGE; President A. T. Hadley of
Yale, Secretary Arson Phelps Stokes.
Jr.; Chief Justice Frederick B. Hall
of Bridgeport, former Gov. r. S.
Woodruff former Gov, P. c. Louns-
bury and Mayor Frank ], Rice
Colonel Roosevelt was greeted with
cheers, which lasted fully a minute,
when he lose to speak. 1T seems to
me that nothing could be a better
augury Of the future of this country"
he said, than that a Republican pres
ident should appoint an ex-Confed-
crate of opposite political faith chief
justice of the United States and re.
ceive unanimous applause of his coun-
trymen
with the permission of your presi
dent / shall propose two toasts: First,
to President Taft. and second, to that
learned jurist, Chief Justice White"
After the toasts had been drunk
Colonel Roosevelt said he was glad
to say in New Haven precisely what
he had said to many former gather
ings in the west" Colonel Roosevelt
said that during the last half of the
last century people had concerned
themselves with the accumulation OF
material well being. thinking its dis.
tribution would take care Of itself. But
the people had come to see. he added,
that they must concern themselves
with an equitable distribution of
wealth.

IMPROvERS OF CITIES
MEET IN WASHINGTON
National, State and Municipal Parks
and City Planning Are Leading
Topics on the Program.

Washington.-DeIegate to the num-
Der of 400 from every section of this
nation were present at the New VIII
lard hotel Wednesday when Pres
ident J. Horace Mcfarland called the
sixth annual convention OF the Amer
lean Civic association TO order. The
chief subjects of discussion among the
delegates will be laying out of cities
and plans for parks, national. state
and city.
City planning will be discussed by
number of prominent landscape ar
chitects, among them Frederick Law
Olmstead. The subject will be pre-
sented to the convention in many
phases, and reports viii be made by
modern plans have been adopted and
put into effect.
Regarding the subject of national,
state and municipal parks, attention
will be called TO the scarcity of state
parks. Resolutions win be offered
providing for the advocacy of large
public park in every state in the union
In this connection much stress will
be laid upon the fact that less than
half dozen states have established
public parks of any particular note.
1t is the intention of the convention
to call the various state governments
attention to the Importance and neces-
sity for creating these parks.
Certain public nuisances will be dis
cussed, most prominent of which will
be the public billboards an5 sign-boards
and number of papers will be read
dealing with the legal side of this sub
ject.

Crisis in Badger studen, Affairs.

Students of the Uni Iersity of Wis
consin are anxiously awaiting the OPP
portunity to voice their sentiments
upon student self-government. and
the recently developed differences
between themselves and the univer-
sity faculty, at the meeting called by
Prof A. l.. P. Dennis. chairman of
the student interests committee.
The Rugby football proposition. the
abolishing of the state high school
basketball tournament at Madison.
and a letter written several days
since by Professor Dennis in which
self government was labeled as silly,
are responsible for the movement in
opposition to faculty control.
Two radical movements. introduced
at a meeting Of the student confer.
ence committee, but flushed up before
being made matters of record, have
caused many students to take an en-
tireIy different view of the situation.
Some who were radically opposed to
faculty domination. now feel that if
students are guilty of such action as
was suggested before the student con
ference, they should be held in check
by superior authority. The actions
referred to are those suggesting the
removal of Professor Dennis from the
student conference. and the intima-
ton that all possible should be done
