and scratched, were treated at the hos
pital and afterward sent to their homes.
Mrs. Tibbetts was cared for at the home
of w. L. Stackpole, in front of which the
accident occurred. She had an injured
shoulder and bruises.
The accident occurred while the auto.
mobile was on its way from Dover,
N. H., to Boston. The men had been on
a shooting trip and started on their re-
turn jaunt at 5 80 this morning. With
a straight road Scott had let out his ma
chine. For 80 feet the machine skidded
sideways and then crashed over on its
side, ripping up the roadbed for yards
and then righted itself.
The occupants were thrown out and
scattered along the road, and when
residents of the neighboring houses at.
tracted by the crash, rushed to their
aid, all were unconscious. Boston

HITCHCOCK SHOWS SURPLUS
First Since 1888. Declares the
Postm ster- General in
Annual Report.

Washington, Dec. II. Postmaster
General Hitchcock has just issued his
annual report. He begins by referring
to the fact that he is able to show a
surplus for the year, while he declares
that the employees have not suffered.
He says:
'For the first time since 1888 the an
nual financial statement of the post
office department shows a surplus in
stead of a deficit. The revenues for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1911, amount
ed to 1927, 879, 1913. 60 and the expendi-
lures to 1927, $50, 7O5 As, leaving a sur
plus of $219, 118. II. At the beginning
of the present administration in 1909
the postal service was in arrears to the
extent of SIT, 479, 77O.47, which was de-
cidedly the largest deficit on record.
In the brief space of two years this
deficit has been changed into a sub
stantial surplus.
1.-THE wiping out of the deficit has
been accomplished without curtailment
VI pOobdl ldCllllltS. VII iut contrary,
important extensions have been made
in every branch of the service. Since
the opening of the present administra-
tration there have been established 3744
new postoffices, delivery by carrier has
been provided in 1856 additional cities,
and 25l6 new rural routes, aggregating
60,679 miles, have been authorized
Meanwhile the force of postal employees
has been increased by more than 5000.
In compensating such employees the de-
partment follows a liberal policy. Last
year the total amount expended for
salaries was approximately $4,000, 900
greater than two years ago. The aver
age annual salary has been increased
! from 1869 to 1867 for rural carriers,
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1911-12-15

from 1919 to $10s2 for postoffice clerks,
from $l021 to $1OS4 for city letter car
riers, and from $116S to $11S3 for rail
way postal clerks"
The establishment of postal savings
banks is referred to, the report saying,
among other things:
Under the method devised for the
conduct of the postal saving system
certificates are issued as evidence of
deposits and all accounts with deposit
tors are kept by the postoffices instead
of by the department. Compared with
the universal practice in other countries
of entering deposits in pass books and
keeping at the central office ledger
account with each depositor, the use of
the certificate of deposit in the manner
adopted has proved to be source of
great economy"
A fresh plea is made for a parcel
post. The report says:
"Now that the successful operation of
the postal savings system is assured, it
is hoped that Congress will promptly
authorize the establishment of parcel
post. The benefits of this service are
widely enjoyed by the people of foreign
countries and should be provided in the
United States. The department not
only renews its recommendation of last
year for legislative authority to start a
parcel post on rural routes. but asks a
similar authorization for the introduc-
ton of such service in cities and towns
having delivery by carrier. After the
organization of parcel post on rural
routes and in the city delivery service
is completed, its extension to include
railway and other transportation lines
can be more readily accomplished with
out impeding the handling of the ordi-
nary mail. -Boston Herald.

CURB FOR RECKLESS AUTO
MOBILE DRIVERS.
List of Victims of Careless Chauf-
feurs is Growing Larger Daily.

The accident toll of the recklessly
driven automobile continues with I'M
abated regularity, and the "causes"
and reasons" for these accidents are
becoming more unreasonable with each
added days report.
Hundreds of cases are now pending
in the courts of Massachusetts, and,
judging by the increasing frequency of
automobile accidents, the time is not
far distant when a special civil and
criminal court will have to be created to
handle these cases. Especially does
this seem probable inasmuch as neither
the law makers, the court or the juries
deem this growing menace seriously
enough to handle in the drastic way
that public opinion will soon demand
The latest brace of accidents here
about emphasizes the need for pushing
and organization and activity of the
association for the safe regulation of
automobile traffic.
By far the most fragrant of the two
street, where two pedestrians were
ground under an automobile driven by
man who did not have a license to
handle a machine. The other case in
volved the collision Of an automobile
and team, and the driver of the team
received slight injuries as the result of
being thrown from his seat.
Riding in an automobile which he had
just purchased in Melrose and which
according to the police, he was operat-
ing without license, Ascanion Di Rago,
of 344 North street, ran down and
seriously injured William Disco, of Is
Battery street, and John Cirelio, of IS
Chardon street.
Di Rago was placed under arrest by
Patrolman Miner and was early yester.
day morning bailed in 10000 bonds.
The two victims of the accident are
at the Relief Hospital in a serious
condition.

next Thursday, December q, under the
auspices of the Middlebury Historical

to the occasion. That address will he
delivered at five o'clock, and an earnest
invitation is extended to the men and
women of the village and the town tn
gather at that hour and make the OBJ
servance of the anniversary a worthy
one; good while must elapse before a
town can attain to the dignity Of such
celebration, and it never can happen
again. AT six O'Clock supper will be
served in the rooms below by the ladies'
OF the Labaree society, and this will be
followed by an interesting programme
of speeches and music. The tickets for
the supper are fifty cents, but admis-
sion is free to the exercises in the
church and all will be very welcome.

FIVE MINERS SAVED.
Great Obstacles Encountered in
Penetrating Cross-Sections.

Briceville, Tenn, Dec. 11.-Five men
had been brought alive from the Cross
mountain mine at eleven o'clock tonight
and rescuers at that time were making
almost frantic efforts to reach at least
three more whom they believe still
alive. These men were burned Satur-
day when an explosion entombed more
than 100 men, hope for whom had been
abandoned, when tonight three men
alive and we'll were found behind a
brattice they had erected to protect
themselves from noxious gases. Those
saved are VIM. Henderson. aged So;
Milton Henderson, aged %, his son;
Irwin Smith, aged 35 Arthur Scott, 80;
Dore Irish, &c. They are all married
and their wives had almost given up
hope of ever seeing any of them alive.
Immediately after the explosion they
rushed to cross entry No. 10, where they
quickly threw up brattice that kept
out the black damp, which killed many
of their fellow workmen. They took
their lunch pals with them and the
three subsisted for three days and two
nights on what they expected to make
their Saturday noon meal.
Until tonight % bodies had been re-
moved and but 20 cross entries had been
explored. The rescuers are encounter
ing great obstacles in penetrating the
cross-section and it is feared that even
should more be alive in the far recesses
of the workings, it will be impossible to
reach them before they starve.
Another rescue car arrived from Pitts
burg today so there are plenty of helmet
men on the scene. Finding of the five
men tonight revived an abandoned hope
in the breasts of those workmen and
now they are pushing ahead with all
possible speed.
A new cemetery is being provided for
the victims on hill near the mine. To-
day volunteers started to dig graves in
a circle in the center of which it is
expected monument will be raised.
Many theories are advanced as to the
NduoG VI TIC dCClQtHI. ITeSluenI
Stephenson of the Knoxville Iron COM
pany which owns the mines said today
it probably had been caused by a
'windy shot" This might have ignited
gases accumulated in one of the many
rooms" in the mine or might have set
off the coal dust on the floor.
Governor Hooper of Tennessee and
Mayor Watts of Coal Creek today sent
out appeals for funds for relatives of
victims.
The coal company is supplying the
INN ediate needs of the stricken fam
lilies, but later money will be needed
to care for the widows and orphans.
Indications are that there will be more
than 80 of the former and about 100
of the latter. A Knoxville baker dis
tributed 900 loaves of bread among the
families today, and there was no short
age of food.

We have always thought that the
present methods of mining for coal
ought not to be permitted. That in
stead this should be accomplished with
reasonable safety to all laborers en-
gagged in it. And if this cannot be
done, or, where it cannot be done, the
mining should not be attempted.
But we have no sympathy ever with
the idea that anything desirable to dc
can not be done and safely done. The
trouble in such cases generally, if not
always, is want of effort and this in
such a case is criminal. The effort
should be demanded by the people and
if necessary undertaken by the govern
ment.
