TWO ERRORS
CORRECTED
Explanations Made in the
Evening News Contest.

Two errors were made in giving the
result of the contest yesterday. One
of these appeared in the first edition
only, but the other was in both edi-
tions. In the first edition the first
number of the total vote received by
Belle Broander, of Keansburg, in Dis
trict No. 3, was left off SO that it APP
peared as if she had only 529 votes. 1t
should have been 2,529.
The other mistake was getting a 8
in the place of a 2 in the total Of the
Jr. o. u. Am. of South Amboy. The
total result in the paper yesterday gave
the Mechanics of South Amboy, 1907
votes, when it shoHid have been 4,26T.
This explanation is made in justice to
all contestants that everything may
be fair and that no misunderstanding
may Occur.
The standing of the contest today is!

SEEKING STRUGGLED EYES.
Customs Officers on the Trail of 100,
600 Recently Imported.

Customs officers Of the Treasury De-
partment are beginning raids through the
country to recover 100000 glass eyes
that are said to have been struggled into
the United States. An investigation is
proceeding at New York. Special agents
of the service yesterday raided two opti-
cal supply companies i'm Baltimore. get
ting 1.4OO eyes from one company and
1000 from another. Treasury agents be-
lfeye they are only few days behind
the shipment of the eyes and that most
of the 100000 will be recovered. In view
of the small demand for glass eyes the
government is surprised that such a large
consignment should have been made to
this country from Europe. The confis-
Gated eyes will be shipped to New YORK
for evidence in prosecutions for snug
Cling. No arrests have so fa- been made.

TO ENCOURAGE SAVINGS.
Branches Proposed for the Lettered
Postal Stations.

Convinced that the public generally is
not well posted as to the advantage of
the new postal savings system, Post
master Merritt is considering plans TO
bring the facilities of the system closer
to the residential sections of the city
He will probably ask the Postmaster
General for authority to establish branch
postal depositories at the lettered postal
stations of the city. There are eight such
stations at present. Station A. at George
Town: B. at 4th and East Capitol streets
c, on G street near 18th street north
west: F, in Mount Pleasant: G on G.
street near 9TH street northwest: H, in
Anacostia, and Takoma Park and Brook
land.
Whether the Postmaster General will be
asked to create branch repositories at all
OF them has not yet been determined. but
Postmaster Merritt thinks the time is ripe
to place them at some of these stations
at least. Although the business done at
the depository at the main post Office is
considered exceptionally gratifying. Mr..
Merritt thinks the savings Of the city at
large will be greatly increased by max
ing ii more convenient for the people, and
especially the younger folks. to reach a
place where they can deposit their money
with the assurance that the United States
government is pledged to return 1t on
demand. He says he thinks this is the
Postmaster Generals idea, too, and that
his acQuiescence VIII be readily forth
coming as soon as he Is advised that the
Washington Office is able to meet the de-
mands
In other cities. ii was explained at the
department. many of the merchants have
taken a deep interest in the new system
as much for its advertising advantages
to them as for any other reasons. Some
go SO far as to buy the savings cards
and stamps and give them as premiums
with purchases. while others simply buy
and keep them on sale to draw customers.
Cases have been reported to the depart
ment by merchants where their sales of
merchandise have been materially in
creased in this way. Thus far the local
merchants. 1t was explained. have not
done this to any extent.
