The forty thousand odd rural free
delivery carriers in the United States
are to receive salary increases as a
result of decision made Saturday
by Postmaster General Hitchcock
The order will provide for the dis.
bursement through the current fiscal
year Of $4,O0O,O00, which will mean an
increase of S100 over the present sal
airy of $500 for all carriers on standard
routes, with proportionate increases
on the smaller routes.
Denying the right of the Wells
Fargo Express company to charge par
eel rates on bulk packages, the inter
state commerce commission Saturday
reaffirmed a principle previously laid
down, and ordered that after Septem-
ber / next carriers shall not make the
ownership of property offered for
TRANSPORTATION a condition to the ap-
plication of particular rates. The de-
cision affects every express company
operating in the United States.
Without affecting a single home
on the north side of the bayou, where

New Orleans Rice Market.

New Orleans.-There was practical
ly no change in the market for rough
rice Saturday. The tone continued
quiet and no trading was recorded
during the early session, due to the
absence of receipts from the country.
Nothing was offered from store. Clean
rice was quiet but steady. A fair de-
mand was in evidence, but offerings
were small and as a result trading was
very light. Quotations: Rough
Honduras quiet at $1.50@3.00 per bar
rel; sales reported, 2,271 sacks at $1.90
@2.7O; Japan quiet and nominal.

IN0 MONEY FOR
 THE FUGITIVES
SHERIFF WEBB NOT AT FAULT IN FAILURE TO BRING
 TAYLOR BACK
Governor Vetoed the State Fund for Return of Fuoitives and sheritts
 Are Left Without Funds.

Criticism in the afternoon press pointed at Sheriff Webb because IT, net Taylor, a fugitive who had Acen arrested at Oklahoma City, had not been promptly gone after as soon q captured, is answered in the circum- stances that surround the situation.
 Taylor was charged with defratd- ing the Moody hotel out of a sum oi $100 several months ago, and was arrested in Oklahoma. When Sheriff Webb was notified of the arrest, the question of bringing Taylor back was taken up. John Weille of the Moody offered $30 toward the expense, Mayor Waters offered s25, and N. M. Moody offered $25. Sheriff Webb of fered SIS in cash and the services of himself or deputy, without cost
 There is no money available for the return of fugitives in this state. While this fund was being arranged, Taylor secured freedom under haDeas corpus.
 In former years the legislature has always made an appropriation for the return of fugitiyes from the state, and this last legislature also made an appropriaion, but Governor Don- aghey put his veto on the bill, and lit never became law.
 Every sheriff in Arkansas is ur against the same proposition that Sheriff Webb faces--in brief if crim- inals are to be returned to answer charges the sheriff must pay the full sum out of his pocket.
 Sheriff Webb but recently paid s65 for the return of Denton from Texas, and when he made application to the county for a return of the sum, the bill was turned down. The county has no provision for this expense, and instead the state has always paid the fugitive expenses.
