Washington. ID. O., March al
Drastic action vas taken tonight bv
PoStmaster-Ceneral Hitchcock in ef-
fecting a reorganization OF the rail-
way mail service. 4 round dozen Of
changes OF the most important Of
GERS In the service we're made by Mr..
Hitchcock as q result OF a long and
careful investigation and thorough
consideration The most important
change is that of Theodore ingalls,. OF
Kentucky. superintendent OF the d.
vision Of rural mails, who was an
pointed general superintendent of the
railway mali service in succession TO
Alexander Grant. who was denoted to
St Paul, MIMI, as q division superin-
tendent. Other changes were dfvis-
ionai.
The affairs OF the railway mali SER
vice were overhauled thoroughly BY
Mr.. Hitchcock personally and the out
come is the most sweeping change
ever made In the history OF the rail-
way mail service.
While signing the necessary orders
tonight for the changes, Mr.. Hitch
cock said:
THE railway mail service has suf-
fered greatly from poor MANAGEMENT
and lack of supervision. In certain
OF the divisions 1t was found that the
chief clerks had not been inspecting
their lines as was their duty. Some
OF the routes had received no inspec-
tion for several years. instruction
from the department indicating i'm
provements as for example the prop
er consolidation OF mail matter and
the conservation of equipment re-
ceived only perfunctory attention.
There has been a lack of cooperation
also in carrying into effect certain re-
forms which 1 had indicated, and 1t
was made evident by the inquiry that
no proper spirit of coordination with
the department existed in the railway
mail service"
The necessary transfers will be
made as quickly as possible.

J. w. NAPIER AGAIN ON TRIAL.
This Time on the Charge of Substi-
tuting Paste Diamonds for Real
Ones, and for Using the United
States Mails to Defraud Jewelry
Firms

OneS, anu Tor Using the United
States Mails to Defraud JeweIry
Firms.
Charlotte, N. c., April Al. w
Napier is on trial here today in the
Federal Court. It is charged that
Napier did unlawfully and willfully
devise or intend to devise a scheme
or artifice to defraud the Southern
Express Company at Westville, s.
c., by opening correspondence with
another person and did on or about
March s. cause to be mailed a let
ter in a postoffice of the United
States at Charlotte, addressed to
Daniel Lowe & Co., Washington
Street, Salem, Mass.
The preliminary hearing of the
case was conducted in Charlotte be-
fore a United States Commissioner,
J. w. Cobb, on October 25, 1910.
1t is seldom that a more interest
ing case than the one at hand is re-
corded. Napier, it is alleged, used
the name of James Paris in deal
ing with Daniel Lowe & Co., of Low
ell, Mass, and another large jewelry
firm. From them he secured cata-
logues, prices, etc., of handsome dia-
monds at the same time securing
from imitation diamond houses of
Terre Haute, Ind, and other places,
catalogues of stones, weights, cuts
specifications and settings. Real
stones and imitation stones in SINH
lar settings were then ordered. The
real stones were handled by the
Southern Express Company, c. o. D.,
after inspection and the imitation
paid for in advance.
Along with Napier. w. P. Duke
was included in the warrant, but
Duke turned States evidence. The
two men used the name James Par
ris. After some comment Paris
passed the treasure to Napier, who
would make examinations under
jewelers. magnifying glass. Napier
would substitute the imitation of ex-
actly the same size and kind, with
identically fac simile of a tag at
tached. Some f1imsy reason was Civ
en- the expressman for not accept
Ing the rings and the imitation was
placed in the box and returned.
At the same time the charge of
fraudulently using the United tSates
mails was preferred against Napier,
he was also served with a warrant
charging that he and Charles Quas-
ter had violated the Federal law re-
1ating to the white slave traffic.
The two men were tried at Green's
boro in January and released, Judge
Boyd holding that there was no vio-
lation. Quaster left Immediately for
the North, but arrived in Charlotte
Monday to testify in this case.

TOMMY DUNNS DIVORCE CASE
FIRST TRIAL IN OLD \. N. c. A.

Where once enthusiastic Y. NJ. c. A.
leaders and ministers of the gospel
preached peace on earth and told Of
the sanctity of the marriage tie,
courts of justice are now engaged in
sundering the marital bonds of un-
happy couples.
Curiously enough, the very frst-case
tried in the old Y. NJ. c. A. building,
where the circuit court is now en-
sconcing itself, was a divorce case.
Thomas Dunn was this morning
granted by Judge Robinson a divorce
from his wife Clara Kiedlin Dunn.
The divorce was not contested. It
had been previously agreed that the
custody of the minor child, a little
girl, should be vested in the mother
and that Dunn should pay $25 a
month toward her support aud educa-
ton. In her answer, in which she took
the ground that the libellant be left

tion, Mrs Dunn claimed that on ac-
count of the restiye temperament and
unsettled condition of the father, the

The children at the quarantine sta
tion, to the number of eight hundred,

Christmas morning. The consuls for
Spain and Portugal will, in company

will then be given to the nurses, who
in turn will deliver them to the little
strangers.
Dr. Clark would be very pleased to
receive gifts of clothing from kind
hearted people. The men, women and
children on quarantine island are, in
many instances, destitute, and any
worn clothing would be gratefully ac-
cepted.
The idea of the Territory owing its
own immigrant steamer is well thought
of in most quarters, and something
may be done in the matter before
long.

Mr.. Spalding concluded with the as

purely in the public interest.
County Treasurer Shingle said there

he congratulated the ways and means
committee for having invited represen-

enCe. Mentioning that the estimated
revenue was S765,7OO, including only
onc-half of the merchandise license
money so as to leave $4,000 to next
board, he went on to argue with fig
ures that the Hotel street widening
was a safe proposition and an econo
