Mail for Santa Claus
Likely to Be Tied Up

Mr.. Santa Claus was put on the black
list yesterday afternoon at the regular
meeting OF the board of directors OF the
Associated Charities when a resolution
was adopted asking the postmaster gem
eral to destroy all letters addressed 10
him. This resolution was telegraphed to
Washington last night. and as the action
was suggested by the main office in New
York in u letter received yesterday morn
Ing it is probable that similar move
will be made by organized charities all
over the country, with the result that the
little folks who hopefully dropped their
laboriously written pleas into the mail
box will be doomed to disappointment.
The arguments advanced by the di-
rectors OF the local association against
the letters were that they couldn't be an
swered IN any practical manner, and that
II would only encourage begging.
One member of the board said that
many children who believe In Santa
Claus are the offspring of wealthy faml-
lies and asked for gifts not because they
will not get them but because they want
TO write to santa.
Postmaster Thomas already has on
hand a large number Of Santa Claus let
ters sent here from all over the new
Fourteenth division OF the railway mail
service and he is at IA loss to know what

officers have refused to have anything
to do with the old gentleman, Mr. Thomas
will in all probability send them 10 the

Girl Charged with
Writing Defamatory
Letters is Acquitted

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-THE jury
in the case OF Miss Harriet Dewitt,
charged with being the writer Of anony-
church circles in Easton, rendered a YER
dict of not guilty today.
The judge ruled that test of Miss
Dewitt's handwriting should not be ad-
mitted as evidence, and the prosecution
thereupon abandoned the case.
The letters were of a defamatory char
acter and were penned during a period of
about ten years. Their particular object
was the Rev. Elmer E. Snyder, pastor of
Christ Evangelical Lutheran church,
Easton. The letters were received by
married men and their wives brides and
girls. They threatened great scandal
Postal inspectors last August decided
to arrest Miss Dewitt. She was given.a
hearings at which the Rev. Mr.. Snyder
was one of the principal witnesses.
Miss Dewitt today was accompanied
by her father. and mother Miss Dewitt,
Of slight build, is little more than 80
years old.
The Rev. Mr.. Snyder was n the first
witness. He said he was 20 and single
when ne took charge of the church in
1901 and lived at the parsonage. Miss
Dewitt lived opposite and he first met
her at a church social After that he
had merely e speaking acquaintance
with her.
He said he received 200 or 800 anonymous
letters, all Of an improper nature.
Mr.. Snyder said he was married last
June.
What were Miss Dewltts actions
towards you the last year or so?" he
was asked.
"If l passed her on the street, she
would throw her head up and sometimes
make faces
Miss Dewitt hlssed at him as he passed
down the street and also acted insultingly
towards his wife, Mr.. Snyder testified.
