BOOSTS MAIL CARRIERS PAY.
Forty Thousand Men on Rural
Routes Granted Increases.

AS the result of an order just issued by
Postmaster General Hitchcock, the sal
aries of approximately 10000 rural free
delivery carriers will be increased during
the present fiscal year from $500 to 81 600
and proportionately on the shorter
routee.
Congress at Its last session provided
an appropriation of $4,O0O.OO for this
purpose. but left its expenditure to the
discretion OF the Postmaster General. To
hasten legislation authorizing q parcels
post system on the rural routes and to
compensate the carriers for the addi-
tional burden therefrom the Postmaster
Of the full 100000 for increased SAL
aries to the carriers.
Now that the men are to receive this
generous increase in pay" he said Il
feel that Congress should lose no time In
authorizing the carrying of parcels on
rural routes. parcels post system on
rural routes can be conducted without
other than the 100000 salary increase.
which, in my Judgment. would be more
than Offset by the parcels post revenue.
IL is estimated that during the current
fiscal year the cost of the rural service
will be about S4O,OOO,OOO and the loss
about s23.OO0.u0o. The rural delivery
system was started fifteen years ago with
eighty three carriers. who were paid only
500 each a year. On July / there were
81 lo2 carriers, whose aggregate salaries
amount 10 S35. 1913. 600. The Postmaster
General Is said to believe that the parcels
would insure the maintenance and proper
extension OF the rural free delivery serv-
ice as a self-supporting branch OF tho
postal service.

years yesterday at 12:45 o'clock at the
Georgetown University Hospital. after an
illness Of two months with tubercular
meningitis.
Mr.. Enstein's condition became serious
about a week ago. although few OF his
friends in the city were aware Of his
illness. He began sinking rapidly early
yesterday morning, his death following
quickly. He IL survived by his wife, Mrs.
Jennie Enstein: daughter, Mrs. Lille
Boswell; a brother, F. J. Mnstein. and
two sisters, Mrs Jennie Haas and Mrs

settled in Alexandria, where he engaged
in business q few years before removing
to this city, in 1873. since which time he
has continuously been connected with the
District health department In the ca
pacity Of poundmaster.
DR.. William c. Woodward, District
health officer. was in communication with
Mr.. Eanstein throughout his illness. and
DR.. Sawtel1e. assistant health officer, was

Battle Of Lincoln Park.

Probably the most serious of all the
combats IN which the poundmaster ffgur-
ed was during q trip to the section in the
vicinity Of Lincoln Park. Cows and geese
were astray In the park, giving 1t no
more consideration than they would have
given the commons between there and
the present site Of the Jail. Suddenly
the pound wagon appeared. coming as a
cloud from a clear sky. and just as sud-
denly came owners Of the animals and
poultry. Their sympathizers followed,

What became Of the geese that were
in tho wagon asked one Of the assist
ants after the dust had cleared away.
Can you find the wagon" asked the
poundmaster, recovering from his sur
prise and rough treatment.
There near the park was the demolished
wagon. while the liberated geese and
frightened horses were seen scampering
in the direction Of the homes Of their
owners. Einstein, q little disfigured, had
remained in the thickest Of the fight. po-
ncemen from what was then the eighth
precinct having come to his rescue.
Twenty weight arrests, the greatest num-
Der made at any one conflict with the
poundmaster, followed. and each person
arrested paid SO.
One Sunday morning IN 1882 the pound
master was assaulted while taking pos
session Of a horse found astray near It'll
and r streets southwest. He was shot
in the shoulder. The man accused Of hav-
ing fired the shot was indicted, but he
fed the Jurisdiction and never returned.

animals is not the only work the pound
master performed for the health depart

pressed him into the smallpox service.

his first venture being the moving OF a
patient from one Of the big hoteYs dur

He also established and saw to the fur

ding taken from houses In which small
pox and other similar diseases had been
created were destroyed under his super
vision.
During the big blizzard a number OF
years ago the poundmaster had to en-
gage in a severe struggle In the south
east section in an effort to furnish food
to several poor families. His work in
the contagious disease and disinfecting
service called him for duty at all hours.

ODD FIGURES IN
 TRAIN FATALITIES
One May Ride 220 Years Without Fatal Accident, Providing He is
 More Unfortunate than Average.

Houston, Dec. 27.@Since the recent Issuance of the bulletin by the bureau of railroad economics on lailroad ac- cidents in the United States, show ing that only ninety-four pass ngers were killed out of over 10000 casual ties, number of railroad men have beeng figuring up the risk that pas senger takes on travelling. This has been done in number of manners. An official of the Southern Pacific has had the matter figured out in new way and has obtained some interesting results. His calculations are in part as follows:
 The statement shows that the rail ways of the United States annually carry about 100000, ,OO0 passengers an average of thirty-three miles This is equivalent to hauling every inhabitant in the country about $50 miles. The popular impression IS that most persons killed in railroad accidents are passengers, but as matter of fact passengers make very small number of the total. Talk ingthe figures of last year this of- ficial shows that on the average passenger on the railways of the Un- ited States could travel 4,000 times around the world without being kill ed. Stating the matter in another way he could travel sixty miles an hour for 22o years without a fatal accident.
 About 30 per cent of the fatalities are suffered by employees. A compu- , tation made by the same official bas- sed on the ratio between the number of employees in service and the num- Der killed shows that on the average an employe can work 637 years be- fore being killed.
 The statement shows that the larg- est number of persons killed Nst year were trespassers.
