ORIGIN OF THE
RAILWAY MAIL.
System Was Devised in Missouri
and First Car Was Operated
There.
(Kansas City Star.)

Kansas City Star.)
Progress in the carrying and distri-
button of United States mails has
been remarkable in this country in
the last fifty years.
A half century ago the first rail-
road west Of the Mississippi river,
from, Hannibal to st. Joseph, Mo-,
was constructed and it was on his
road the railway mail service of the
country had its origin and inception.
Then only the mails for the whole
western country came in bulk on
distributed In ton lots and carried to
many destinations by courier, by
blackboard, horseback and stage lines,
the only methods in those days.
1t remained for William A. Davis,
postmaster at st. Joseph from 1855 to
1861, to invent and inaugurate the
great system now in vogue. Before
bulk. were carried to some central
distributing point. Independence,
Mo-. was m of these and st. Joseph
later was another. When the rail-
road was built the task all came to
the st. Joseph office in distributing
the entire overland mail.
The idea occurred to Mr.. Davis that
these mails could be distributed while
In transit. 1t seemed to him in ev-
cry way possible n desirable. So
he wrote to the people in Washing
ton for authority to fit up some cars
on the Hannibal and st. Joseph rail-
road to try out the experiment. The
authority came and Mr.. Davis went
to the railway headquarters at Han
nibal and superintendent the arrange
ment of several cars with pigeon
holes. doors, windows and other con-
%veniences, and the initial run with a
carload of mail was made from Han
nibal to St. Joseph in record time,
the mails properly distributed and
ready for the overland stages, cour-
iers. etc.
The first trial was SO satisfactory
that other cars were brought into
requisition, and 500 a most remark
able change for the better was made
in the receipt and distribution of
mails. The great railway mail serv-
ice had beer i~naugurated! So many
people nowadays seem to think it was
always" the same as now.
Mails for the mountain districts
were frequently carried from st. JOS
eph by express companies. In Den
ver in 1900 the expressage on letters
cost IS cents each and on newspapers
10 cents each.
The problem of forwarding over
land mails without delay was solved,
and MIR. Davis was oon made a spe-
cial agent of the department and CIV
en- full charge Of the branch Of the
service which he had originated. In
his efforts along these lines he was
encouraged and assisted by John L.
Bittinger, who was appointed t o sue
coed him as postmaster in 1861.

"AAOlC PSOplcs
George B. Armstrong. assistant
postmaster at Chicago. some time aft
er the inauguration of Mr.. Davis sys-
tenn of distribution on the cars, wrote
a number of letters to the postmaster
at st. Joseph, inquiring about the
success of the scheme ipaugurated by
MIR. Davis Being assured that it was
IN successful operation by authority
he 1naugurated similar service on a
railroad between Chicago and Ciin-
ton, Iowa. His cars, perhaps a little
more elaborate, were arranged exact
~ as those designed by Mr.. Davis. He
had all the mail distributed il transit,
while MI. Davis distributed only the
overland mails. While Mr.. Davis was
the inventor Of the idea and put it in
to actual reality and practice. Mr..
improved and developed the system.
He never claimed more. but injudi-
ctous friends hav attempted to give
him the whole credit.
William A. Davis. inventor of the
railway mai service, was born in
Barren county, Kentucky. in Septem-
Der, 1909. In early youth he wen to
Virginia where he entered the postal
service. at Richmond and other plac-
es. and with his career in St. Joseph

about fifty years.

The first car for the distribution Of
the mails was an old-time "way' car.
fitted up with pigeon holes. Extra
windows were arranged and the dis
tributors" used candles to assist in
lighting the cars. Mr.. Davis made 2.
trip on the first car as far as Palmv-

SUGAR PROBERS
COMPEL REPLY To
WATER" QUERY
Chairman Insists on Nationals
Head Telling About S1O,-
100000 Deal.

WASHINGTON, June 1e.--That the
government has erred In its facts in the
formal petition seeking the dissolution
of the American Sugar Refining Com
pany was the declaration of James II.
Post, president Of the National Sugar
Refining Company of New Jersey,
when he appeared today before the
House sugar trust investigating COM
mittee.
Mr.. Post fatty denied the allegation
contained in the governments petition
that he was the agency through which
In 1894 an attempt was made by two
great refining companies to control the
sugar market.
Ten million dollars of common stock
that has earned two and one-half NIL
lion dollars of dividends was the per-
sonal reward given II. 0. Havemeyer
for combining three very good re-
fineries'' and thus creating the National
Sugar Refining Company, according to
Mr.. Post. Post acted as Havemeyer's
agent in the organization of the COM
pany. When Mr.. Post was called upon
to testify about the issuance of ths
$40. 000, 900 of common stock his attor-
ney, A. H.. Larkin. objected.
IT recognize your power, but appeal
to your sense of Justice he said. He
explained that the validity of the &c.,
900, 900 was o a subject of litigation
and the testimony Of Mr.. Post might
prejudice the case.
II believe that the American people
are entitled to know whether this stock
has been watered," he added. at seems
to me hat Congress ought to have
this information on which possibly to
base curative legislation"
Representative Fordney was opposed
to requiring the witness to testify, but
at an executive session the committee
decided to require an answer.
