Parcel. Post Bill Offered.

Washington, June 24.-Legislation
that will establish Immediately an In
itial parcels post system was proposed
in the senate by Senator Bourne OF
Oregon, chairman Of the committee on
postoffice and postroads. He supported
the measure in q speech in which he
urged action at this session Of con-
gress.
The bill proposes to amend the pro-
visions for fourth class postal matter
SO rs to raise the limit Of the weight
OF packages which can be sent thru
the malls from four pounds to eleven
pounds and to reduce the Is cents
pound rate to IL cents.
The basis of the measure Is the con-
tention that citizens of the United
states should not be charged more for
sending 4 package anywhere in this
country than for sending it abroad.
The bill provides that from and
after the passage Of this act no higher
postage rate shall be charged for the
transmission of mail entirely within the
United States or its possessions. The
postmaster general is hereby author
ized and required to establish and en-
force rules and regulations which will
give the people Of the United States
rights and privileges in the use Of the
United States mails as liberal as the
rights and privileges the United States
accords to the people Of the most IA
vored nation"
Raising the limit Of weight and re-
ducing the rate as proposed would
extend the advantages of the existing
foreign parcels post to embrace do
mestic transportation. The post de-
partment admits that 1t is making a
profit Of cents a pound on fourth
class matter at present.

NEWSPAPERS ARESCORED
Publication Of Reports Of Self Destrue-
ton DepIored by Medical Experts
Effests Of Stories Said to Increase
Number of Suicides.

Los Angeles, June 24.-"Suicide is a
private affair There is no more justi-
f1cation for the publication OF such ac-
counts than there Is for publishing
other private matters" This is the
assertion of committee OF the Anreri-
can Academy Of Medicine which in
vestigated the question Of suicide. and
tn making its report here today re-
quested the press of America to refrain
from further publication Of such affairs
IT, however" the report declares. "the
members OF the press are still ske ptical
as to the fact that they are now access
sories to crime, we suggest that they
assist in the study Of the conditions"
A number of suggestions In this re-
spect are made. and 1t is also proposed
that II the papers insist upon printin
scandals and news Of suicides 1t be
limited, to a separate sheet OF distinct
yellow color 80 'cean minds may avoid
the corruption. II such method is
desirable for athletic news. why not
extend its use?"
"The rapid increase in the death rate
from suicide IN the United States, with
the conviction that a prominent cause
of this deplorable act was to be found
in the suggestive effect OF newspaper
publication of details" is given as the
reason for the investigation. The re-
port further says: "The average value
of a human life has been reckoned at
$1,000. On that basis the loss from
suicide in this country in 1908 was
s24,996. 6.O00 Is it worth trying to save.
even If one is not actuated by any
higher motive Of humanity"
The publication of suicide news on
the plea Of news is declared to be a
makesl,ift. The report says In part:
your committee finds that alienists
are practically unanimous in the opin-
ion that the suggestive effect OF the
reading OF details Of suicides is a pow
erful factor in the causation OF suicides
among susceptible individuals.
Newspaper men, while admitting
that the alienists are Of the opinion
that such publications are cause OF
the crime, and even admitting that
there may be some truth in the opinion,
reply that it Is the province OF the
papers to publish the news. Attempts
to prevent such publications re in
vasions of the liberty Of the press. They
say that the people demand the news.
and it must be given them.
"Attempts at legislation arc practic-
ally useless unless preceded by such
popular education as will assist In the
general demand for the legislation, and
will assist In the enforcement OF laws
when enacted.

ternity Will be tho first to aid when

Rescue, Takes His Own Life.
Seattle, Wash, June 24-Capt. David
H. Jarvis, formerly Of the revenue cut
ter service, who won fame and a gold
medal from congress for a heroic res
cue of artic whalers, and who was for

THE WEEK IN DRY GOODS.
eetter Feeling Among Manufacturer
and Wholesalers.

New York, June 24.-The closer ap-
proach to the opening of general fall
business has brought a better feeling
among manufacturers and wholesale
distributors, says the Dry Goods Econ
omist. Naturally, at the present time
Just before the mid-year stocktaking
with the majority of retailers and job
bers-buying for immediate delivery is
limited. After July 4, however, there will
be a great number of purchasers in the
large markets and, it is believed, they
will then provide for their immediate
and future wants on a considerable
scale.
In the different lines Of merchandise
classed under the head Of dry goods
various conditions prevail. Cotton
goods manufacturers still face the diff
f1culty of high raw material cost, ac-
companied by inability to obtain a cor
respondngly higher price for their pro-
duce. In the knit goods field a better
demand for merchandise Is offset by
similar price and cost considerations
In wool and worsted dress goods the
demand continues below normal. Buy
ers Of silks are operating conservative
ly. This attitude is attributed to the
large proportion Of buyers appropria-
tions which has been devoted to vel
vets. The big demand for these goods
and other pile fabrics has caused lib
eral provision for future wants
In the laces, enbroideries and wom-
ems neckwear branches serious COM
plaint is the exception, tho few con-
Germs appear to be doing more than
fair business. The scarcity in long
silk gloves is causing serious disap-
pointment to retailers who had not ad-
equately provided for their needs.
Garment manufacturers have their
men on the road, but orders SO taken
are largely confined to goods having
some special style feature or of unus-
ual attractiveness. The bulk of the
initial purchasing is expected to be
done after the arrival Of buyers in the
market. The strike in one of the lead
ing garment manufacturing centers
continues, and the outcome Is being
watched with close attention by gar
ment manufacturers generally, more
especially as unrest is apparent among
operatives in another cloak and suit
producing center.

El Paso. Tex, Aug. 25.-It is to be

do Reyes, according to friends of
Madero. They declare he gave Reyes
a chance to return to Mexico and be-
come a useful citizen, and that Reyes
has been a traitor Friends of Reyes
declare that Madero is jealous of the
popularity OF the former war minis
ter Madero has thrown the chal-
lenge to the general and accuses him
OF treachery and planning TO have
him shot in battle to assure the sue
cess of Reyes in the presidential
election.
Returning from his trip OF pacifica-
ton in Morelos, where he went to
urge the zepatist revolters to lay
down their arms, Madero says that,
while he can not produce the evil
dence asked by President De La
Barra of the treachery of Reyes, he
has enough proof to satisfy himself.
In the capital the people are saying
that If Madero is elected president
Reyes will have to leave the country
again, as was the case when he be-
came too popular for Dlaz, or head a
revolution against Madero FOR self
preservation.
