 How to Prevent Robberies-
 From an old bank robber now do ing g fife sentence in the Kansas I penitentfary a theory was procured that perhaps has prevented many robheries. The theory is that no attempt will be made to rob bank when 1t is believed some one is on guard. The looters do no want Co commit murder. that would be too , dangerous. So in many country places plans are put into execution to give visitors an impression that some one sleeps in tlse bank at nights. A cot is kept In plain view during the day, and after barking hours it is pulled out and a dummy placed on it-as if the watchman were asleep. 1 Burglars study conditions before ven turing on their work and always pass up unfavOrable situations , When bank robbing becomes dull the pOstofiices come in for attention but that pastime has been halted for the present. The country post office has little worth stealing eX- cept stamps. For two years the hob bers did a thriving business and went uncaught Then the federal oiil cers got a cew.
 Studying the stamp sales Of we1.- ern cities and comparing them with the mail sent out. they found that Whichita. kas.. was sending out more postage than it's purchase of stamrs warranted. The business firms were then iuvesh gated through the nostofice and those that evil dently secured stamps from outside sources were located. From these it was found that they purchased stamns, from a banker.
 Saioonkeeper the Fence"
 The banker got them from the chief or police and he is turn got them from a saloonkeeper who was acting as -fence" for @ gang or bank and r1stofice robbers. oper- atinE in Kansas, Oklahoma and Na- braska Two of tbe robbers were captured and. with the saloonkeeDer. the banker. and the chief Of police. sentenced to the penitentiary. The chiefs sentence vas commutet S7 cause Of his giving evidence. The cf- feet was 10 stop the post office rob heries for a time, but it took two years to do it.

Alexander.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Socialism as
enunciated by Job Hartman and
Alexander Irvine went down to
defeat in Los Angeles by an over
whelming majority. Mayor George
Alexander, leading the good gov
eminent" forces, was reelected by
a majority thai will reach 10000 over
Hartman. General indications were
that the whole good government"
ticket would be carried to victory In
the landslide. Hartman made a sur
prisingly o O race. In many precincts
where he had a majority in the prim-
airy he fell far short in yesterdays
balloting. In his own precinct he lost
by a vote Of 1887 to 1872.
1T was the vote of the women that

COURT REFUSES STAY
SUPREME TRIBUNAL FAILS TO
GRANT PACKERS DELAY.
No Opinion Is Handed Down, Chief
Justice Contentins Himself With
Mere Announcement.
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS.

Washington.-The United States Su-
preme court refused to grant a stay
of proceedings to the packers under
indictment in Chicago on charges of
violating the criminal sections of the
Sherman antitrust act. This means
that the ten packers must go to trial.
The courts decision was the final
step In the long legal contest to avoid
trial at this time. Shortly before they
were first cited for trial or November
20 mir Of the indicted packers sought
to have the United States circuit
court at Chicago release them from
custody on the ground that the Sher-
man antitrust law, under which they
were indicted, was unconstitutional
as a criminal measure, particularly In
view of the recent Interpretation of
the law in the Standard Oil decision.
The circuit court refused to release
them and an appeal was taken to the
Supreme court. Chief Justice White
individually refused to grant a stay OF
trial until the Supreme court could
review the proceedings before h cir
cult court. Attorneys for the beef
packers asked the full court to grant
the stay and to release the defend
ants on bail.
Chief Justice White announced the
decision Of the court. No opinion was
handed down, the chief justice con-
tenting himself with the mere state
ment that the packers motion was re-
fused.

ITALIANS WIN BIG BATTLE
Drive Turks Into Desert After Cap
turing Oasls-Coast Nearly Is
CIeared-Losses Heavy.

Tripoli.-After a eve battle. in
which both sides are reported to have
lost heavily, the Italian forces. 10000
strong, occupied the Turkish military
camp on the oasis Of Ain-Zara near
Tripoli. The victory is regarded as
decisive.
Regular Turkish troops. aided by
Arabs, defended the oasis for several
hours, but were forced to fee into the
desert, abandoning eight cannon. many
tents and provisions.
From the fact that the battle has
forced the Turks away from the coast
and their base of supplies and from
the GASES around the city. where they
drew ~sustenance, it is believed a en-
eral battle cannot much longer be de-
layed.

Music as Against Police.

In nine months Boston has given a
thousand individuals music lessons to
the children of the poor. It's teaching
staff has grown from three to twenty
five, and there is every prospect that
in another year the demand for lessons
will exceed the supply.
All this is the work of the music
school settlement, whose hackers be-
lieves pianos are better than police
men.
Il amt a-going to play the piano
with dirty hands any more" said one
~12-year-old of the slums. The study
of music will work greater wonders
than this in the moral and physical
lives of the poor.
There is to be established a child
ren's and wage earner's orchestra
with free lectures on music and a
chance for all to study.
The result in a generation will sur
prise the police authorities. The love
of music will keep in the straight path
many an otherwise uncertain foot.

CONGRESS BEGINS
LEADERS PREDICT THAT SESSION
WILL BE BUSY AND INTER-
ESTlNG.
LAWS AND POLITICS MIXED
Proceedings May Make and Unmake
Presidential Candidates - Trusts
and Tariff Legislation Occupy Chief
Place.

Washington. - The senate and
the house of representatives. compos
ing the regular session of the Sixty
second congress, began what promises
to be the liveliest session in recent
years.
The two words busy and Inter
esting' as a forecast Of the proceed
ings are used on high authority. In
the rush OF the opening the comment
Of the leaders was brief.
It will be an interesting session.
Senator La Toilette.
1t will be a busy session.-Speaker
Clark.
The lower house OF congress. for
the first time in many years at a
regular session, Is in control OF the
Democrats. It may not be necessary
to remind the country that the last
session was a special one convened
by the call of the president. n that
its time was given up largely to the
discussion Of two subjects. the tarin
and reciprocity. subjects SO nearly
akin as to be almost M flesh.
President Taft will watch the
proceedings Of house and senate
with a keen and at times anx-
ious eye. II tariff legislation based
on the reports Of the tariff board be
passed the president will hold that
his vetoes of last summer have been
indicated and will feel perhaps that
the prospect of reelection has been
cleared of overhanging clouds.
AS for the Democratic leaders, they
seem to be determined that If the tar
if boards report on wool Is in &C.
cordance with the information gained
by members of the ways and means
committee, which, of course. is DOM
mated by the Democrats, legislation
based on the boards report must be
passed. The party leaders. however.
seem to be determined that If the
tariff boards report has in it a suspi-
cion of leaning toward the side OF du-
ties which are too high. a bill cutting
those duties shall be passed and sent
over to the Republican senate for
commentator or condemnation.

NO POSTAL DEFICIT
sURPULs OF S21e,11s.12 AT CLOSE
OF THE LAST FISCAL
YEAR.
SYSTEM is SELF SUSTAINING
A. Beginning Of Taft Administration
In 1909 Postal Service was in Ar.
rears to the Extent Of $~17,427,720,
Largest on Record.

Washington. ID. C.-For the first
time since 1883 tho annual financial
statement Of the %postof1ce department
submitted by Postmaster General
Hitchcock shows q surplus instead of
= deficit. The for the fiscal
year ended in June. 1911, amounted
to 237. 1878, 823. 80 and the expenditures
to 237, $50, 1864 8 leaving a surplus OF
3219,118.12. At the beginning OF the
present administration in 1909 the pos
tai service was In arrears to the extent
Of $17,479, 77O.47, which was decidedly
the largest deficit on record. In the
brief space OF W. years this deficit
has been changed into a substantial
surplus.
The wiping out of the deficit has
been accomplished without curtailment
of postal facilities. On the contrary,
important extensions have been made
in every branch of the service. Since
the opening Of the present admins
tration there nave been established
3,744 postoffices, delivery by carrier
has been provided in 1876 additional
cities, and, 2,516 new rural routes, ag-
gregating 6O,679 miles, have been auth
orized. Meanwhile the force of postal
employees has been increased by more
than 5000. In compensating such en-
ployes the department follows a liberal
al policy. Last year the total amount
expended for salaries ives approx
mately $4,000, 900 greater than two
years ago. The average annual sal
airy has been increased from $3.50 to
1867 for rural carrier, from 1919 to
$1,0S2 for postofhce clerks, from $1.O2l
to $1,Os4 for city letter carriers. and
from $1,16S to $1,1s3 for railway mail
clerks. Thus a marked extension of
the postal service and higher compen-
sation for It's employees have gone in
hand with o vanishing deficit.
