MORE PAY FOR CARRIERS
r. F. D. Men VIII Receive Increase of
$1OO a Year.

Washington, July 1o-rhe 10000 odd ru-
raj free delivery carriers in the United
States are to receive salary increases as
a result of a decision reached by POstmas-
ter General Hitchcock. The order will
provide for the disbursement during the
current fiscal year of S4,000,OO0, which VIII
mean an increase of 500 over the present
salary of $500 for all carriers on standard
routes.
Congress provided last session for the
expenditure of this extra $4,O0O,OOO, but
left 1t to the discretion of the postmaster
general as to how much of 1t should be
expended. Mr.. Hitchcock has decided
to authorize the expenditure of the fun
amount.
His desire to compensate the carriers
for any additional burden which may be
placed on them if the parcels post sys-
tenn he has recommended for rural
routes, is approved by congress, was the
important consideration, Mr. Hitchcock
declared, which led him to make the au-
thorization.
In the current year the rural service
will cost the government about $40 900. 600,
the estimated loss being about s25 000, 600
The postmaster general expressed the be-
lief that the parcels post system, under
proper management, would insure the
maintenance and extension of the rural
Tree delivery service as self-SuppoTting
branch of the postal servie.
Inc rural delivery system was started
ID years ago with So carriers. who were
paid only $500 a year On July 1 there
were 1852 carriers, their aggregate sal
aries being SS5, 793, coo.

COMPOSER SINGS AND DIES
His Own Songs j. P. Jones' Last
Words.

Chicago, July 1O.-Singing snatches
from his own composition, John P.
Jones, noted Welsh composer and vo-
calist, died yesterday at the age of
SO. The 17-year-old granddaughter Of
the composer, sat at the piano. The
audience was made up of the four
maiden daughters of Mr.. Jones-all
teachers in Chicago public schools-who
have kept house for him many years,
and several other relatives and friends.
As the player began to strum the mel
ody of Congress Street" Mr.. Jones'
favorite among the hymns of his own
composition, the aged singer took up
the words. Almost as clear and round
ed as in earlier years, his voice rose
above the accompaniment
play again child" the aged man
commanded. One after another he ran
through the repertoire of his own com
positions.
Then came another favorite to the
air of Eva" named by the composer
after one of his daughters. after a
few words, the old musicians voice
faltered and he was dead in few min
utes.

AUTO IN SOMERSAULT.
JOY Ride Ends With Smashup on
Lower Kansas Avenue.

Five men automobile joy riders and
pair of young people returning from
their Sunday night buggy ride narrow
ly escaped death in a smashup last
night on Kansas avenue near Thir-
teenth street. The young couple had
just stepped out of the rig when the
automobile struck it. The occupants
OF the machine were hurled into the
air or pinned under the car, which
turned over. but none we're dangerous
" hurt.
John Lewis and Mary Morrissey had
just tied their livery rig at her home
at 1926 Kansas avenue about IL o'clock
last night An instant later the auto
mobile, owned and driven by George
Archer of 1921 North Monroe street,
swung up Kansas avenue around the
slight turn from the south and struck
the rear end of the buggy. The rig
was demolished and the horse pulled
loose from the post. The horse was
captured uninjured farther up the
| street a little later.
Mrs. Morrissey, who was sitting on
the front porch of her home, saw the
accident and says of it: 81 could hear
a party of men singing down the ave-
nue.. Then the machine swept into
view and banged into the buggy. There
were five men in the automobile and
the driver seemed to be very careless.
The front wheels struck the curb after
throwing the buggy out of the way
and the machine pitched up on its
nose. The driver made a CINE arch
over to this tree GO feet away, and
the machine wabbled over and fell
onto the left side. The four other men
pulled themselves out from under the
car. 1t is a wonder someone was not
killed. A crowd of about 500 people
swarmed around the wreck. It looked
like there wa sa lot of broken bottle
glass mixed with the broken wind
shield
The machine was not badly broken
up in spite of its somersault. The
front axle was twisted out of shape
and the wind shield demolished. The
left fender was broken down and the
body scratched but no serious damage
was done to the engine which con-
tinued to run after the machine was
disable
A car from the North side garage Of
Firth & Williams hurried to the scene
and picked up the occupants of the
Archer car. This morning the broken
down car was hoisted onto the park
ing and the front axle taken out to be
replaced.
The livery rig belonged at the Law
less barn. 1t is said Archer will pay
for the buggy without protest

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, May 1.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance of
7 points to a decline of 4 points. Near
positions wer relatively firm on the
call, owing to over-Sunday buying or
ders. but the late months showed lead
ing strength in Liverpool, and with the
outlook for continued unsettled weather
in the South the new crop soon firmed
up and ruled about 4 to 5 points above
the closing figures of Saturday during
the middle of the morning, while near
positions reacted partly under realizing.
but held some 2 to 3 points net higher.
After showing a net advance of about
4 points on the old. and of 12@13 points
on new crop positions during the middle
of the morning, as "a result of nervous
covering and fresh buying. based on
the fear Of frost tonight in the Western
belt, the market became somewhat ir-
regular under renewed realizing and
prices at midday were 3 or 4 points
off from the best. The official Western
belt forecast called for fair weather,
with frosts tonight and higher tenn
peratures tomorrow.

THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO. May Am unexpected
decrease In stocks at Liverpool tended
TO put wheat spectators into a bullis.l
mood today. Besides the monthly de-
liveries here, although large, went to
strong hands. In consequence selling
pressure was not heavy and the mar
ket responded to the influence of the
Oklahoma official report, which was in
terpreted as decidedly against the
bears. Some of the biggest wheat
counties Of the State were shown to
have an abandoned acreage Of 100 per
cent. or nearly so. OF 1ing prices were
ss@% higher to 1s off. July started at
sS to SS1s, unchanged to II up, and rose
to sSA@as.
Wet weather strengthened corn. July
opened 1s@h to H@h desrer, at 52ss to
521a, and advanced to 52%.
Fair buying on the part of commits
sion houses lifted oats. Offerings were
only moderate. July started with h0N
gain. at 80, touched 32@S2h, and reacted
to 31B@32.
Big receipts of hogs discouraged
the bull side in the provision pit. First
sales were 5 to is down, with July de-
livery 1880 for pork. 7.95 to 500 for lard
and 7.95 for ribs.

FALL RIVER, May There was
only moderate curtailment among the
mills in this city last week, although
this will be extended just as soon as
the contracts expire, There seems to
be a defined opinion among the more
conservative element of mill treasur-
ers that mills should shut down so that
the assets will be conserved.
1t is generally admitted hat some
mills are losing honey plentifully and
something drastic will have to be done
in order hat the organization will be
kept together. For more than a year
several mills have stopped their ma
chinery in part and have resorted to
reducing production In other ways.
1t is known that some Of the mills
which have ar ~over-surplus of yarn
have sold some of it, they taking a
chance or the ability of their machin-
cry to produce arm when necessary.
The Stafford mills operated only a
portion of their machinery last week
while the American Linen Company,
Ancona Company. Merchants Manu-
featuring Company, Richard Borden
Manufacturing Company. Chace, Me-
chanics, Tecumseh, Weetamoc, Pocas-
set Manufacturing Company's mills

and the Union Cotton Manufacturing
Company's No. Q closed Thursday until
tomorrow. The Conanicut and New
England Cotton Company mills Nos,
