AT POSTOFFLCE
RED CROSS SOCIETY GIVEN PER.
MISSION TO SELL STAMPS IN
ALL FEDERAL BUILDINGS.

The treasury department has issued
instructions to the custodians of all
United States public buildings under
the control of the secretary of the
treasury to permit the use of the pub
lie corridors by the American Red
Cross society during the holidays OF
this year and of all succeeding years
until the order is countermanded, for
the sale of Red Cross Christmas
stamps, the proceeds Of which are
used in the prosecution of the cam
paign being waged for the prevention
of tuberculosis.
I While Postmaster Smith, the Gus
todian of the Brunswick federal build
Ing, has not yet received request
from those locally interested in tae
Red Cross work for permission to sell
Red Cross stamps in the lobby of the
building, he states that he has nc
doubt that local people will shortly
take up the matter with him, and
that he will be glad to allow a small
booth to be erected in the lobby and
maintained during the holidays with
some local member, or friend, of the

RATE IS GIVEN
FOR WHITE WAY
MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION PROB
ABLY WILL TAKE UP QUES-
TIoN AT NEXT MEETING.

After many delays, occasioned by
the failure of the Mutual Light & Wa.
ter company to give them a rate, it is
probable that the Retail Merchants
and Business Mems association, at
their next meeting, will again take up
the question of a white way for
brunswick and will arrive at some
definite decision.
The question was opened in this
city two or three months ago. and,
alter going carefully into the matter,
the merchants decided that it was a
good plan and the light and water
company was asked for rates on lights
to be used in the white way. but
though two or three meetings have
been held by the association for the
specific purpose of taking up this
matter, they have been unable to act
owing to the fact that they had not
been furnished with the rates.
The company yesterday, however,
notified them that they had decided
upon rate, which was 212c per front
foot for the lights. AS this is the
merchants busiest season, it is hardly
probable that they will act on the
matter until after the holidays.

BAcKSTAMPING OF LETTERS
SUSPENDED FOR HOLIDAYS
Order to This Effect Issued by the
Postoffice Department.

The postoffice department has -
sued an order suspending the regula-
ton requiring the backstamping of
first-class mail from December 20 to
January 3, in order to expedite the
handling and distribution Of mail and
to hasten the delivery of same during
the holiday rush.
This permission has been given to
all postmasters, but is not to include
special delivery matter and registered
matter, which must be backstamped
TO show the date of receipts as here
tofore.
AS great deal Of time is required
for backstamping incoming mail, it is
certain that this suspension will expe-
dite the separation and distribution of
the heavy mails during the holidays.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 9.-The Nc
Namara brothers probably never will
testify before the federal grand Jury.
1t was announced today that the
grand jury which is inquiring into dy-
Mantle conspiracies would not cuL-
Vene again until next Tuesday, and it
was said to be certain that by that
time James b. Mcnamara and John
). Mcnamara will have begun at the
San Quentin state prison their SEN
tences of life Imprisonment and fif-
teen years respectively for the crimes
to which they confessed a week ago
Their emphatic declaration that
they would not divulge what they
knew of the alleged conspiracy is said
to have resulted in plan to take the
McNamaras to the state penitentiary
tomorrow.
Witnesses in Town.
Scores of witnesses appear in town
today, in response to summons, Of
which there were 22S issued within
the last few days. 1t is known that
most of the San Francisco labor lead
ers will be asked to appear belore

The names of those summoned have
not been given out, but it is under
stood that among them are Olaf

Though Ortie -. McManigal for two
days has been before the grand jury
the probabilities are that he has not
finished his testimony.
With the trial of A. b. Maple, Bert
Corners and p Ira Bender, charged
with attempting to blow up the Hall
of Records in August, 1910, postponed
until the 4th of January, the only
thing remaining here pertaining to the
Mcnamara case besides the grand jury
investigation, is the case of Bert II.

a prospective juror in the Mcnamara
trial
Both District Attorney Fredericks
and Assistant District Attorney Ford
today declared that Franklin probably
would plead guilty. The preliminary
examination Of Franklin will be con-
tinued on Monday.
| The grand jury investigating the al
legged McNamaras dynamiting conspi-
racy today is believed to have heard
the testimony Of J. w. Kaiser Of Mum
Gle, Ind, the man who IS sapnosad to
have sold explosives to the McNama-
ras and Mechanical.
The identity of Witnesses before the
grand jury is being kept as secret as
far as possible.

LOCAL EXHIBIT
TO Be DISPLAYED
GlYNN COUNTY TO GET GOOD
ADVERTISEMENT IN ATLANTA
DURING THIS WEEK.

Many Brunswickians have no doubt
noticed, on different visits to Atlanta,
retty displays from various counties
along the line of the A, b. & A. rail
road displayed in the large window of
The city ticket Office of that road on
Peachtree street. These exhibits have
resulted in much good for the various
counties sending them.
This week Brunswick and Glynn
county will furnish an exhibit whicn
will be on exhibition for ten days. It
is being prepared by Albert Fendig &
Co., and will be forwarded to Atlanta
tomorrow. The exhibit will include
specimens of many vegetables, fruits,
etc, raised in Glynn county and peo-
pie in the capital city as well as visi-
tors will be given an opportunity 20
see exactly what can be raised on
Glynn county land.
In this connection it may be of IN
terest to state that almost every lay

ton with the excellent display made
by Glynn county at the Chicago Land
Show, which closed several days ago
The exhibit was classed as one ut
the best at the exposition and many
letters, seeking information about
local lands, have been received by the
various real estate agents. There is
nothing than can do more in the way
of locating farmers in a secti N than

Red Cross society in charge of the
sale.
The heavy work at Christmas times
makes it impossible for any postoffice
clerk to sell the Red Cross stamps
at stamp window, as the time con-
sumed would interfere with prompt
service to the public in the sale Of
postage stamps and the handling of
mail.

The Rescue Parties at Work.

Briceville, Tenn, Dec. 9.-As soon
as 1t became known throughout the
Coal Creek region that the Cross
Mountain mine of the Knoxville Iron
company had been the scene of an ex-
plosion this morning, other mines
suspended operations and dispatched
their forces of men to Briceville. Sew
eral rescue parties were organized and
bodies of men were sent to each of
the three entrances to the mine. On
account of the indefinite distance of
the scene of the explosion from the
mouth of either entrance it was diff
cult to ascertain the exact point at
which the disaster occurred. Conse-
quently approaches were undertaken
from each entry At 10 O'Clock moth
ing had been heard from the rescuers.
VINO were industriously working to
reach the entombed men.
The scene at the mouth of the mine
Deggars description. Men, women and
children who are relatives and friends
of the men known to have entered
the mine this morning, were congre-
gated, eagerly and appealingly and
earnestly awaiting some word thai
would tell of their loved ones. Re-
ports vary as to the number of men
and boys who went to work, though
it is certain that they were in excess
of 100
At 1870 O'Clock flames began to is
sue from the openings of the ill-fated
mine. This effectually checked the
work of rescue, the parties that had
previously entered the mine being
driven back. Such fire-fighting ap-
paratus as was available was put into
play at the openings.
The special train conveying the OF
ficials of the Knoxville Iron company
and federal rescuers arrived here al
1 o'clock.
Rescuers Block by Cavern.
Shortly before noon rescuing par
ties, who had entered the Cross Noun
tain mine earlier in the day, emerged
from two entrances and reported thai
they had gone in a distance of about
one mile. They were unable to pro-
ceed further on account of having en-
countered a cave-in in each OF the
entries. The cave-in was of such a
character, according to the returning
rescuers, as to indicate that the ex-
plosion was caused by dust ignition
1t is stated that the mine has always
been free from gas and was also dry
and this leads to the belief that the
accident must have originated from a
dust explosion.
Three men who we're in one or the
lateral shafts at the time of the ex-
plosion escaped safely and without in
jury. These men were John Lang, Sam
Farmer and Bert Hatmaker. They
came out almost simultaneously with
the concussion that was felt from the
explosion. They report that no unto
ward conditions we're discovered by
them in the interior before they Jeff

SINGLE TAX WILL HIT
CARNEGIE, SAYS GEORGE
Representative From New
York Addresses, University
Club.

Henry George. jr, member Of Congress
from New York. in All address deliver
ed Saturday night before the University
Club. explained the effect OF the eXemp-
ton of bonds owned by Andrew Car
negie and other captains of industry
under a single tax based on land values.
He charged the steel magnate and
others of his class with being hostile to
the single tax idea for the reason that
they realize that their bonds are secured
by land and that increased taxation of
ground values would lessen the value Of
the bonds.
This discussion followed an address on
Taxation in the District in which he
urged the single tax as the only cure for
the taxation evil.
Referring to the needs of the Dis
trict, Representative George said that the
single tax eventually must be put in oper-
alton here, if Washington is to become a
great city of homes. When the tax is
taken off buildings and placed on the
land alone, real estate speculation Will
cease and an era of BODYBUILDING will
be ushered in, he declared.
When this condition is brought about.
he continued. it will matter but little
whether it is a half-and-half principle
under which appropriations are made for
the District. Such a steady growth will
be assured. he asserted, through the re-
moval of the taxes on industry and build
ing that it will be possible for the resi-
dents Of the District to make Washing
ton the greatest capital Of the world,
without the aid of the federal govern
ment
The speaker asserted that it was his
opinion the people of the District, at
some future time, would be endowed
with suffrage rights. and that he. per-
sonally. would favor their being given
the electoral franchise without further
delay.
If there We're single tax on land
values instead Of the present multifari-
Gus taxation system. a police and fire
mems pension fund and other similar
reforms could better be PROVIDED
for, declared Mr.. George. While
he is a member of the House
District committee. he said, he INTENDS
to keep up the fight for single tax
law here. and declared that II he
could have his way he would favor
taking rs per cent off buildings and
personal property the first year the
proposed law should go into effect.

GOES TO FREIGHT ROUTE.
Repairs to Power Launch Adelaide
Have Been COMPLETED.

The power launch Adelaide. Capt. Wiley
kintz. which has been laid up at the 18th
street wharf for several weeks receiving
an Overhaning, has been placed in COM
mission and will. it is stated. shortly lie
placed on a freight route between this
city and river points. The Adelaide for
several years was employed as a tow
boat for John Miller & Co., but for sew
eral months past has been laid up.
During the summer Capt. Kintz secured
her and had her overhauled and painted.
1t was expected that she would start
service early in the fall, but her gaso-
line engine became cranky and for a
month or six weeks refused to work A
day or two ago 1t concluded it would
start, and since that time Capt. kintz
states that it has been working beauti-
fully. and driving the vessel through the
water at good speed. The Adelaide
when she first came on the river about
SIX or seven years ago. was employed on
a freight route.
