THE OBSERVATION OF SUNDAY
AT THE PoSToFFIcE

AS soon as it can be arranged. the
Ocala postoffice will have no Sunday
delivery of mail, except through the
boxes and at the general delivery win
dow, but for the benefit of business
men and of all others who find it i'm
portant to have their mail seven days
in the week, boxes for the receipt of
the Sunday mail will be provided, at
the regular box rental.
In this manner four carriers will be
freed from reporting on Sunday and
the other members of the postoffice
force may arrange alternating days
for service. and each have a day of
rest.
Detroit, Michigan, was the first
large city to try the Sunday closing
plan, and it has been found most sat
isfactory. Three hundred men are
given a day of complete rest, there,
every Sunday and the twenty-one who
have to report for duty are given time
off during the week to make up for
er cities through the country the plan
has been adopted with excellent re-
suits.
In letter to the Ocala postoffice
authorities from the department at
Washington, it is stated that the
wanting of Sunday mail is largely a
habit with the people, and that there
are few communities where the peo
pei are not willing to dispense with it
to a large extent.
After the first of July, by recent
act Of legislation, all carriers who
work on Sunday, collecting mail from
the boxes on the streets must be given
time off during the week to compen-
safe for the Sunday hours.
The new arrangement will in no
wise interfere with the dispatching of
mails-all mail will go out the same as
at present, but neither the stamp win
dow nor the registry window will be
opened from Saturday night until
Monday morning:
That the new plan will be accepted
in Ocala with approval seems certain
and in few weeks there will be a
general forgetting of the urge" that
compelled people to stand in weary
line every Sunday morning to receive
a lonely postcard.

CASE AGAINST JACOB ISRAEL RI
NALLY ENDED

After ten years of freedom from
prosecution under an indictment
charging that he unlawfully and fell
oniously converted to his own use,
thereby embezzling the sum Of $719.58
from the United States postoffice at
Ocala Fla, of which he was acting
assistant postmaster, Jacob Israel was
arraigned in the federal court yester-
day morning before Judge w. B. -Shep-
pard, and was sentenced to pay a fine
of 5000.
Through his attorney, Herbert l..
Anderson of this city, Israel entered a
plea of nolo contendere, and immedi-
ately upon the announcement of the
fine, made the necessary payment to
the court, and was released.
Attorney Anderson made an elo-
quent plea for his client, in which he
stated that there never was any in
tention on his part to defraud and
government, and that the postoffice
department had never sustained the
loss of one cent through his alleged
misconduct. He called attention to
the fact that at the time of the alleged
misappropriation of money order
funds, the defendant was but boy,
being just Fl years of age, and that he
did not realize that he was committing
an offense prohibited by the federal
statutes.
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1911-04-28
Lax Methods

He blamed the lax methods of hand
ling the government funds at the
Ocala office, and stated that Israel
merely used amounts needed by him
and that every penny of the money
was replaced. He asked the court to
be lenient with Israel, as everything
tended to show that there was no in
tention of wrong doing on his part.
The charge on which Israel was ar
rested was preferred on August II by
Postoffice Inspector Robert c. Ban
herman, who made affidavit before
United States Commissioner David S.
Williams lat Ocala, that he had cheek
ed up the Ocala office on April Is,
finding a shortage of money order
funds of $7195S. A warrant was ac-
ccrdingly sworn out and Israel was
arrested and carried before Commits
sioner Williams, where he was given a
preliminary hearing, resulting in his
