RODE ON AN AVALANCHE

San Bernardino. Cal. Aug. SO.-W.
L. Brown OF this city. a prominent civ
II engineer, rode for 1000 feet down
the side OF Mount Grayback on an
avalanche OF ice and snow, and Is
alive TO tell Of his experience. He

While far up on the slope Of the

Brown was seated on the snow eat.

BAR MCNAMARA STAMPS
Postal Authorities Say Pastors on En-
velopes Cause Confusion

Washington, Aug. 29.-Serious in
convenience In handling the mails
from particular localities Is being ex-
perlenced by the postal authorities on
account of general use of adhesive
stamps other than United States pos
tage stamps. The problem is so
serious that 1t was recently decided
by Postmaster General Hitchcock and
Third Assistant Britt that no stamps
resembling United States postage
stamps may be used on either the OBJ
verse or reverse side of mailed envel-
opes.
This order will eliminate from the
mails absolutely the Red Cross stamps
and the Mcnamara defense fund
stamps which have been sold by thou
sands by labor unions throughout the
country. There has been a protest
but after considering the matter Post
master General Hitchcock has decid-
ed not to modify his previous order
In any respect.
In view of the trouble experienced
from the use of the Red Cross stamps
during the last Christmas holiday per-
iod. Mr. Hitchcock issued a general
order that no adhesive stamps except
United States postage stamps should
be attached to the address side of a
letter or package. No objection was
made to FASTING them on the reverse
side and tens OF thousands of stamps
now are being issued, including Pan
ANA Exposition stamps, various state
exposition stamps and the Mcnamara
stamps. which are authorized by the
American Federation of Labor.
Thousands of letters bearing such
stamps on the address side OF the en-
velopes are being received at the dead
letter office and the order has been
the result.

NO CROP MONEY PREPARATION
Government Believes Easy Money In
Banks VIII Be Sufficient

Washington, Aug. 29.-For the FIRST
time In many seasons the Federal
treasury is making no preparations to
meet the autumnal demands for mon.
ey for moving the crops. Neither do
treasury officials expect the usual
crop-moving season demand for bills
OF small denomination
Prospects for medium sized crops,
easy money and the strong cash pos
ition in almost all the country banks
are the reasons ascribed for this con.
dition. Last year there was such
demand for small currency that the gov
eminent began breaking up the big
silver certificates and issuing smaller
ones. and even made plans to Issue
a 81 greenbaok which has not been
seen In circulation since 1885.
Government finances for this month
will not compare favorably with Aug.
ust, 1910. A deficit OF 22.O0O.0 900 on
ordinary accounts already is shown In
comparison with a deficit OF $4,000.
OO0last year Customs receipts show
a decrease of S4.OOO,OO0 as compared
with year ago. The governments
total expenditures for the same period
are more than 100000 greater.

Mornan as q Mathematician.

mathematician. While at Gottingen
Morgan specialized In mathematics,
and with the professor Of mathemat-

Ridlna a Giraffe.

General Wood Of the English army
was the hero of many adventures, but
the one he called the strangest is the
time he rode giraffe in India. With
party of friends he was being en-
tertained by the rajah of Jowra, who
exhibited his rare collection OF wild
animals TO his guests. General then
Major Wood was a daring horseman
and on a wager offered TO ride the
giraffe with no bride save a rope.
The rajah warned him Of the danger
but be would not listen. So the giraffe
was brought to a balcony, from which
the major vaulted on its back. In
stantly the great creature was Off like
the wind, and. once fairly started, 1t
settled down into a curious gallop that
soon made the rider so sick and dizzy
that he fell off like log, receiving a
blow on the head from the animals
knee and then In the face from its
foot. He was unconscious for an hour
and the first use he made Of his voice
was to resolve that he would never
ride giraffe again.

Hitchcock Expects to start Rural
Routes, Then In cltles
Washington, Aug. 2S.-In his annu-
al report, which will be laid before
Congress In December. Postmaster
General Hitchcock will recommend
the establishment OF parcels post
service on rural mail routes. the crys-
utilization into law Of proposed in
creases in second class mail rates, and
the enactment OF proposed law provid-
ing for a radical change in the sys-
tenn of compromising the railways for
transporting the mails
Hitchcock explained today that 1t
is his idea first to establish parcels
post on the rural routes so that the
administrative details of the system
may be worked out without disad-
vantage TO the postal service gener-
ally Gradually he will extend the
parcels service to urban communities
SO that packages and parcels can be
delivered locally by city carriers. Sub
sequently the service will be extend
ed to include railway transportation.
1.-THE continuous flow Of the mails,
particularly the commercial and bust
ness mails, cannot be interfered with"
said Hitchcock THE institution OF
parcels post service, attempted In
rural territory, in cities and in the
railway mails simultaneously, would
embarrass seriously the whole coun
try, for 1t scarcely could be put into
operation In that fashion without clut
tering up every post office in the
country. BY working out system by
degrees, however we shall be able tC
extend the service with no inconveni
ence or embarrassment to anybody
1t will require an immense increase Of
both carrier and clerical forces, but
once established, 1t will be Of enor
nous value to the people"
He indicated that the Administra
ton expects to adopt the recommen
dations of the Hughes Second Class
Postage rate Commission. which hal
been in session for several weeks II

will be submitted to Congress in De

ISLANDS FOR PANAMA FORT
United States Acquires Four In Pac.
lfic for Canal PURPOSES

Colon, Republic OF Panama, Aug. 80
The United States has increased its
possessions by the purchase OF four
Islands In the Pacifc-Flamenco Gu
Zebra, Naos, and Perico. The negotia.
lions, conducted through the Isthmian
Canal Commission, have extended
over a period of three years. They lie
in Panama Bay, and were the Joint
property OF the Pacific Mail Steam
ship company and the Panama rail-
road. The United States already own
ed all the stock in the latter company
The islands will be used in connec-
ton with the construction OF the great
embankment designed to protect the
Pacific coast terminus OF the Panama
Canal. They were bought from Col
ombia ffty.seven years ago. The
purchase price was to be $4,000 but
the railroad company, not building its
proposed oversee line to them, was
compelled to pay 100000 for its half
interest.
II is said one OF the islands may be
a site for a fort.

Grant Says officers Can't Give Ex'

Washington, Aug. 29.--The revela-

post exchanges in the Department OF
the East during the fiscal year just
closed has caused Major General Fred
erIck D. Grant to recommend to the
War Department that post exchanges
be placed in the hands of civilians.
Bad management and dishonesty
have been disastrous to two post ex-
changes, he says, causing the loss OF
funds, and the trial of one officer and
several enlisted men He attributes
the trouble primarily to the fact that
army officers occupied with military
duties are unable to give the exchan'

ton, counsel for the company, before the
house committee on expenditures in the
interior department today.
The White Pass & Yukon railroad
controlled by the Guggenheim interests
he said, annulled an agreement with his
company at the behest of the syndicate
steamship companies and assessed ex
sessive wharfage charges and excessive
railway rates from Skagway to points
in the interior against it.
"Is there any way of limiting the
charges demanded by the Yukon com
pany, or is that company a law unto
itself2'' asked Chairman Graham.
"No,' said Mr., Drayton. "The sec
retary of the interior has for some
time been doubtful Of his authority tc
modify rates in Alaska.'
$50 doubtful that he would not at
tempt it9"
"No attempt has been made recent
ly."
The witness declared that the Alaska
syndicate had coerced witnesses for the
Humboldt company in court proceed
ings and that witnesses had frankly TOLD
them they were afraid to speak on be
half Of the Humboldt company because
they would get no business from the
syndicate if they did.
"If the Humboldt company was put
out of business asked the chairman
"would the syndicate lines have any
opposition9"
