New York Attorneys Engage
Services Of HOke Smith.
Rabeas Corpus Proceedings Ex-
pected to Be Begun at Atlanta.

Atlanta. Jan. 9.-Hoke Smith, eX-
governor Of Georgia and senior men,
Der of Smith, Hastings q Ransom.
visited Charles W. Morse, the convict
ed ice king by appointment at the fed
eral prison Saturday and was in con-
ference with M. Morse several hours.
The visit was made at the instance
ii Martin Littleton of New York, who
is expected to arrive in Atlanta in q
Gay or two when habeas corpus pro-
ceedings will probably be instituted in
the United States court before Judge
William r. Newman.
Mr.. Smith refused to discuss his visit
further than to admit that he had
visited Morse at the request of his
New York counsel. 1t is understood
Morse in the proceedings to be brought
here. Mr. Smith is one of the ableSt at
torneys of the South and is a man of
a fighting turn. He has had great eX-
perience in the federal court and it is
evident from Morse's conference with
hin thal he intends to start a rafting
tient for his freedom in the United
states court.
Though Mr.. Smith would not say
that he had been retained by the Morse
interests, it is known that he is not
the man to make such visit unless
very definite arrangements had been
made.

masters for the current fiscal year does
not provide an adequate number Of posi-
tons in certain grades. There should be
a maximum and minimum salary for as
sistant postmasters fixed by law and suf-
tcient latitude allowed in the appropria-
ton act to prevent this anomalous con-
dtion.
In some sections of the country, espe-
cially in the mining regions of the West,
it has been difficult to make appointments
TO the clerical and carrier forces at the
initial salary prescribed by law. Wages in
AL lines of employment are nigh in these
communities, and the entrance salary of
5000, fixed by the act of March >, 1907, Is
not sufficient to induce competent men to
enter the postal service, even with the as
surance of annual promotion. To meet
such emergencies it has been necessary
in some instances to grant postmasters
an allowance for the employment of
clerks and carriers at the rate of 30 cents
an hour, and in others to make allow
ance; from the appropriation for unusual
conditions. 1t is realized that it was not
intended that these appropriations should
Be used in that manner, but the depart
ment has been compelled to grant such
allowances in order to keep the postoffice
manned with competent employees.
DR.. Grandfield makes strong argument
in favor of 80 days annual leave for
clerks and carriers in first-class and sec
ond class offices.
AT the close of the fiscal year there
were 1900 postoffices of the presidential
class. OF this number 3217, or 44.6 per
cent, were housed in leased quarters, for
which the annual rate of rental was ST.
726, sos. On June So 1909. there We're 434
offices located in federal buildings, an in
crease of Is during the year. 1t is eX-
pected, however, that this number will be
largely augmented during the current fis-
cal year. On the date last mentioned
there We're 1912 numbered stations, III de
livery stations, and 24l branch postof-
fees"
Some minor recommendations hereto
fore made by the first assistant are re-
nawed and an elaborate statistical state
ment of the bureau is presented.

obtained by the German government in
its effort to foster German commerce
Many articles of German production, like
our own production of copper, are large
ly exported and the German government
has taken very lively interest in so reg
ulating the production and sale of such
articles as to bring about the full return
to the empire warranted it by the eco
nomic situation. The government has
even encouraged and fostered combina-
tons for the regulation of production and
the fixing of prices by mutual agreement.
The price of copper metal should not
be matter of speculation, but our aim
seems to be to sell our products to Euro
pean consumers at panic prices The peo-
pie of the United States are throwing
away millions of dollars every year and
wasting the mineral resources of this
country by bad economic policy.
Some means must be devised whereby
this unsatisfactory condition may be done

ing depleted with no measurable profit for

PLEADS FOR ARMY CANTEEN.
Editorial Tells of Insane Soldiers Vic
Tins of Bad Drink.

Washington, jan 9.-The subject of the
army canteen was brought up in the
House Saturday, and an editorial from a
Chicago newspaper was read into the
Record by the clerk. 1t denounced Con-
gress as a "bigoted and hypocritical
body" for not restoring the army can
teen.
Bartholdt of Missouri. who had the ed-
torial read, said he would offer an amend
ment to the army bill restoring the army
canteen, but that he knew that point of
order would be made at once against his
amendment.
The editorial recited the instance of a
carload of insane United States soldiers
being brought from the Philippines, and
said that their insanity had been caused
by the failure to supply well-controlled
canteen, thus causing them to fall VIC
tins to the habit of drinking poisonous
and highly alcoholic native Philippine
drinks.

Several Important Changes in the

Washington, Jan. 9.-As a business in

to the United States treasury is the
greatest in the government: According
TO figures submitted by Chafles p. Gran
field, first assistant postmaster general
for the fiscal year ended June so, 1909,
made public today in his annual report.
the gross revenue of the postal service
reached the enormous total of 500, 49,, 1888,

this number 1893 were first class, an in
crease of IA; 1907 were second class an
increase of H. and 5097 were third class
an Increase of $50. The total increase IN
the number of presidential offices was 356
There were 144i postoffices established
during the year and 2004 were discontin-

in operation on June 80 1909 During the
year 1926 postmasters were appointed at

Concerning the routine of his bureau,
DR.. Grandfield says:

salaries of presidential postmasters on
July /, 1909, was as follows: First class.

We're 1887 assistant postmasters at first

second class offices increased from 2S.220
to 1880, and the carrier force at city de-
livery offices from 26,325 to 1880 being

1T is recommended that the law be so
amended as to provide for the advance

the presidential class whenever the COM
pensation of the postmaster amounts to
$1,000 and the gross annual receipts to
$1,000 for four consecutive quarters. The

the Coliseuny and the crowds are increas-

to make the show bigger and better and
advertise nothing that they cannot pro-

eyes suffer. The theatre is warm, well
lighted and ventilated. which is a great
factor in any show place. OF course the
