OLD AND YOUTHFUL
CAME WITH MONEY
Some Merely with Pennies, to
Place Their Savings
with Uncle Sam.

Washington. d. c., Jan. 4.--Reports
received of the reception of the new
postal savings bank. which was inau-
gurated in one small post office in
every state in the Union yesterday,
are very encouraging to the depart
ment The first days business gives
evidence of the popularity of the new
bank. especially with children, for.
eigners and women.
The stormy weather which prevail.
ed generally over the country was a
factor that helped to return large de-
post on the opening day. Another
factor is the close of the holiday sea
son, which usually finds the purses
slim and lean. Business is expected
to drag along with fair depositing each
day until Saturday, which is general
pay day. when the first test of the
new institution is expected to develop.
The novelty of making the first de-
| posit was the attraction that caused
many to brave the weather and scram-
bic for first in line when the post Of
fices opened. Children were largely
in evidence, too, with their savings
banks, made up of pennies, .nickels
and dimes which were showed across
the counter for the new savings cards.
| The faces of these little ones bright
ened at the thought of their first les
son in thrift and the fact that they
are able to ''go to the bank
Foreigners Interested.
| In many sections. where there Is a
large foreign population, the biggest
increases are expected. The thrift OF
the foreign laborer is well known to
bankers, and their saving deposits in
banks are large volume. But as
heavy as they are in the present saw
ings banks, it is known that these for.
eigners have boarded and hid millions
of dollars that they secret because OF
their lack of confidence in regular
banks. There one confidence is the
General Government, to whom it is ex
pected they will rush to deposit theii
boarded money just as soon as they
learn of the new postal savings bank
Their method of saving in the past
has been to buy post office money or
) ders and boarding them until such
time as necessity would demand it
when they would cash them or senc
them abroad.
The habit of many other people. es
pecia:ly actors and travelling persons
of saving money by buying postal mo
ney orders will gradually disappear
and all of this business will go to the
new postal savings bank.
The reports reveal the largest in
terest in the new banks in the indus
trial sections. and where there is biz
supply of ordinary labor. In the coun
; try districts, too, the new bank fount
favor.
Postoffice Department officials have
not received word from the banks, AMI
are therefore unable to make an.
statement as to the amount deposited
in the new banks on the first day.

IS TO

Accepts Advice of Crumpack-
er Regarding Party At
fairs in Indiana.
tAmerican News Servicej

Washington. Jan. 4--President Taft
has determined not to accede to the
wishes of the members of the Fair
oanksKealing-Hemenway Republican
machine in Indiana and give them high
commission to reorganize the Repub-
ican party in the state. yielding to
the advice OF Crunpacker, always
close to the president. Taft has de-
cided to keep his hands off and allow
Indiana Republicans to work out their
reorganization and rejuvelaticn in
district conventions. Even ex-goyern-
or Durbin, who conferred alone with
the President today. is understood to
have counseled the president to go
slowly in reorganizing. The president
has said that in matters Of Indiana
patronage he will consult leading In
diana Republicans generally and not
act upon the advice of any particular
faction This was the advice Crum-
packer gave. Crumpacker tcld the
president. it is understood, that he
tCrumpacker) did not want to be rec
ognized individually to dictate patron
age and believed no other man or set
of men should be constituted referees.
The only thing about the presi-
dents attitude that encourages mem
bers of the Indiana machine is the an
nouncement that federal patronage
matters will be allowed to go over un-
| til after March T. Want of time is Civ
en- as the excuse, but it is significant
that Hemenway and Healing advised
this postponement when they saw the
president. They suggested that time
should be giveD for certain party
wounds to heal. But they have been
boasting since their call at the White
House that by coup they executed
they will name the successors to
Henry c. Petit as United States
marshal and Elan Neal as collector
of the Sixth internal revenue district
Healing desires BILLY" Davis for mar
shall, and the Hemenway-Kealing ma

JACK POT RAISED
FOR REVOLUTIONS
Plot of American Million

Chicago. Jan. 4.-Carefully laid
plans of Chicago and New York capi-
talists. owners of silver and copper
mines in Northern Mexico and Hon
duras, to finance the revolutions now
tries, coupled with the attempted dis
patching of two flibustering expedi-
tions into the war zone. have been un-
earthed in Chicago by the department
of justice.
More than ten agents of the depart
ment are in the city secretly investiga-
ting the war plot and the arrest of
several we'll known finaneiers may re-
suit on a charge of violation of the
United States neutrality claws. The
Jackpot" fund for financing the revol-
utions is said to aggregate several mil
lion dollars
The appearance in Chicago of Gus
tavo Madero. brother of Francisco l.
Madero. leader of the revolutionists,
aspirant to the presidency in tho last
Mexican revolution, and upon whose
head a price of $4,000 is set, is said
to have brought to a head the govern
ment effort to nip" the syndicate's
war plans.
The fact that the headquarters of
the filibusters existed in Chicago and
the PLOT to finance the revolutions be-
came known to the government Off
GERS at the time the Hornet. the for
mer government scout ship, attempt
ed to leave the port at New Orleans
bound for a Mexican port. The ves-
sci was kept under strict surveillance
and the munitions which had been Sc
cretly shipped into the southern city
from Philadelphia, Kansas City, Den
yer and ST. Louis could not be loaded
on the ship.
the agents discovered that another
ship, the Santa Barbara a coast steam
er, controlled by the Chicago syndi
cate had left the port of San Francis
co under cover of night She is be
lieved to have taken the stores intend
ed for the Hornet, they having beer
reshipped to the Pacific port.
The situation became so acdte q
week ago that the postoffice depart
ment issued an order to all postmas
ters in the south and west, instruct
ing them that "all shipments of arm.
and munitions through the mails con
signed to points in Mexico, would bt
refused, and that all munitions which
found their way across the borde
would be returned to the consignors o

MAYOR HAS ISSUED
BOOZE BLACKLIST
Saloonists Forbidden to Sell
to Any Alleged Drunk
ards Ruled Against.

Heavy prosecution was threatened
by Mayor Zimmerman. in police court
tbs morning to all saloon keepers con-
victed Of selling liquor of any kind to
habitual drunkards. The mayor has
prepared list of the inebriates which
will be mailed to the different saloon
keepers of Richmond, probably with
an order that IL he posted in a con-
spicuous place.
The list Is as follows: James Jordan,
Earl Huntington, Jack Drifmeyer,
Frank Murray tnegroD. Tom Juergens.
Tim Kelley. Edward Welsh. Ernest
Kelley. Tom Ennis. George Westlake,
Joseph Jones. Herbert Burden. James
Mayer. Steve Wilson and John League
The mayor says there is a state
statue making the sale of liquor to an
inebriate a serious offense punishable
by heavy Jail sentence or fine. Mayor
Zimmerman claims he will infiict both
Jail sentence and fine IL necessary in
his crusade.
In the list above appear the names
of all the well known police charact-
ers Of Richmond. who have been get
ting drunk for many years. Some OF
them. according to the police. have
spent more time in Jail than out of it
and have lived at the expense of the
county for months at a time. The ac-
ton OF the court, which was heartily
approved by the police department
and city officials. is not so much to
save the men, who are generally con-
sidered hopeless. as to save the coun-
ty expense. Saloon keepers say they
do not sell to men on the blacklist.
Friends OF these men buy booze for
them. they say.
Mayor Z.mmerman's action this
morning was the direct result of JIM
my Jordan's arrest. Jordan went
down several months ago to serve a
165 day sentence for drunk. Jimmy's
time was out this morning and he
came up town after Sheriff Steen had
served breakfast and by $3.50 O'Clock
he was intoxicated. Patrolman Wes-
tenberg brought Jordan in and he was
tried Immediately, getting 81 and
costs.
Jordan made n speech. waving his
arms eloquently. in which he said he
wanted TO 60 10 Indianapolis. He was
sent TO Jail for IL days. in which time
the mayor believes that he will have
had sufficient time to SOBER up enough
