EX-BANKER GUILTY
BOUGHT $3.50 WORTH OF POST
AGE STAMPS AND SOLD
THEM FOR $44o.
Had Done Similar Business Several
Times--Several Kansas Post
Offices Had Been Robbed
Others Convicted.

Wichita, Kansas, March ID. c.
Mapzger, formerly president Of the
Fourth National Bank of Wichita, was
found guilty by jury in the federal
court here today OF selling stolen pos
tage stamps The offense is punish
able by maximum sentence Of five
years in prison and fine of 5000.
MaDzger purchased the stamps
from Frank S. Burk, formerly chief
of police. The stamps had been
stolen from Kansas post offices anu
were sold by Burk, and John Gala
han of Wichita VINO is under sentence
for robbing the Milan, Kansas, post.
office, and was also convicted of buy.
ing and selling stolen postage stamps
The former bankers defense was
that he did not know the stamps
were stolen and admitted buying
them at discount. Burk recently
pleaded guilty to buying and selling
stolen stamps and waived trial. Cal
lahan is said to have obtained the
stamps from Roy Templeton and Ed.
ward Earl. who are under sentence
for robbing the post offices at Hope
and Burgess, Kansas.
Four counts were lodged against
Mapzger. The count upon which he
was convicted was that of purchasing
$3.50 worth OF stamps from Burk and
selling them to physician for $440
Other counts charged Mapzger with
buying stamps with the intention OF
converting them to his own use.
The jury retired shortly after A
o'clock Saturday afternoon and reach
ed the verdict early this morning
The verdict was sealed and was
opened by Judge Pollock at 9:4d
O'clock.
Sentence probably will be passed
on Mapzger, Burk and Callahan this
week. 1t is understood there will be
no appeal in the Mapzger case If only
fine is imposed.

LONG AND SHORT HAUL
Interstate Commission lnterprets Law
on Important Subject in Rail-
road Transportation.

A Washington dispatch Saturday
gave the following on a matter Of
concern to shippers and railroads gen
orally:
Announcement of certain rulings
the Interstate Commerce Commisslo
Concerning the long and short hau
provision of the interstate commertc
act, was made late today. The CON
mission says the provision applies tt
all rates and fares, but in determin
ing whether it Is contravened, rates
and fares of the same kind should be
compared with one another; trans
shipment rates with transshipmen
rates, prcf OPTIONAL rates with proper
tionai mates, etc.
The commission holds that 1t will
be a violation of the long and shoIt
haul provision if the proportional ra,t
to or from given point were lower
Lldu the iGSupdl ldlt W vi llVll OH
intermediate point 1t is also helc
that the law is violated "wheneyca
Ey the absorption of a switching
charge it results that the total traas
rortaton charge from more distar'
point to the point where the property
is delivered is less than the to;a
transportation charge to or from an
Intermediate point"
Owing, however, to the practice o.
absorbing cwitching charges froI
competitive and not from noncompelH
tive stations, and in view of the fact
shat much benefit and little com

general order permit a continuance

seriously to work trap nesting, and who

But the failure of the Maine expert

The easy ways of picking the best

the trap nest is the one unfailing and

was breeding them, and to get the kind
of birds l wanted was obliged to go
to work upon the job of breeding them
up to my own requirements. Though
no private breeder was doing any
serious work along these lines at that

at the Maine Experiment Station an
experiment in trap nesting on large
scale. This experiment, conducted for
nine years, in the end was virtually

The necessity for some accurate
method of selecting the best producers
of a flock for breeding purposes will be
readily admitted when it is understood
that the average production of the
American hen is but 60 eggs per year
and that the hens of the Petaluma dis

producing district in the country-lay,
on an average, but seven dozen eggs per
hen annually. 1t is an acknowledged

the poor and Indifferent layers.
