EXTENSIVE
Weighing sAnd CountingaOi
u Mail This Month

During the present month If you
find your mail is late frequently, don't
get mad There is a reason for it.
The government is this month under
taking a big job, and every person
connected WITH the postoffice, as clerk
or carrier, has his hands full.
The order from the government is
that all outgoing and incoming mail
shall be counted and weighed, and to
make the job more onerous, must
be done by classes. AS there are sew
eral classes of mail, the job is
stupendous. 1t must be done every
day in the month. The work of count
ing and weighing of necessity will be
slow and tedious, and it can only re-
suit in delaying deliveries.
1t is not known at the local post
Office the purpose of making such an
extensive counting and weighing. II
may be that it is to gather information
bearing on the question of penny post,
age, but this is only a suggestion
Heretofore there has been anoccasion
al counting and weighing, but it only
covered few days.

TRAMPLED
With HOb-NailGd Shoes By
Three WOrkmpn
Was A .sGIaSSbIOWer In A
Utica Factory
And So Badly Injured That
He May Die

Newark. Ohio, May lon Saturday
afternoon William Randall, an EN-
ployee at the Licking Glass Factory
at Utica, was so badly beaten and
kicked by three men named Grover
Haynes, Elton Smith and Earl Dew
berry, that he will die.
He suffered five broken ribs and
internal injuries, which the attending
physician, DR.. W. f. Smith, says will
cause his death.
The injuries we're inflicted with
blow pipes in the hands of the assail-
ants, to knock the man down, after
which they continued to beat and
trample on him with heavy hobnailed
shoes.
Satisfied they had killed the man
they ran out of the factory and south
along the Newark road.
President Willard Palmer, accident
ally discovered the man bleeding pro-
fusely on the floor in an insolatetd
part of the factory, teiephoned to Mar.
shal Peet who recently engaged in a
desperate pistol duel with the would
be postoffice robbers, and he gathered
20 armed men and started in pursuit.
They trailed the men to the Smoots
farm, miles south where the trail
was lost in thicket. A squad OF
Newark police made a hurried run
in an auto to the scene to loan their
assistance but all was in vain
Later, the men were captured by
the posse at Highwater, miles west
of Utica and brought TO Newark later
and placed in Jail.

PHONE Men
Are Satisfied L With The
Utilities Measure ail :,
Prest. Beam OF This [City
Issues A Statement
columbus Journal)


Independent telephone interests of
the state are entirely satisfied with
the reamended Winters public utilities
measure, which has been made to in
clude the Yount telephone merger bill,
For the Independent interests repre-
sented in Columbus during the dis
cussion of the measure, frank L.
Beam of Mt. Vernon yesterday issued
statement, in which he confirmed the
foregoing.
He also said: "The basis of rates,
both in the original Winters bill and
in the amended Winters bill, practic-
ally allowed all facts that were peril
nent to be taken into consideration in
fixing such rates"
Beam quoted the language of the
section to show that physical valua-
ton is taken into consideration. A
part of the section reads:
The commission shall, with due re-
gard, among other things, to the value
of all the property of the public utili-
ty actually used and useful for the
convenience OIL the public and to fair
and reasonable average return upon
the actual cash investment, fix and de-
termine the reasonable and just rate.
He said further:
"The regulation of capitalization
was not in the Yount bill, but the tele.
phone companies are not objecting to
the very stringent regulation of capt.
alization found in the measure before
the senate.
"The regulation of merges by the
public service commission did not
seem to the telephone companies to
be essential, inasmuch as neither cap
italization nor rates was controlled
thereby, but they are not objecting tc
such regulation by the commission.
"Some objection has been found tc
the elimination of the sections pro
hibiting the ownership of the stock ol
4 one utility by another. This would
repeal by implication of existing stat
utes long in operation.
"The clause providing for certiti
cate of necessity before utility car
operate in a locality already served
by another utility of the same kind IL
the natural result of the substitution
of regulation for competition and II
found In all public utility laws passed
by the several states"

DEFEATED
The Cenierburg Team By A
Score Of ID To 5

The Mt. Vernon Grays base ball
team defeated the Centerburg team
at Riverside park on Saturday after
noon by the score Of IA to 5, the game
being stopped at the end of the sew
enth inning by rain.
The game was somewhat uninterest-
ing owing to the ragged playing of
both teams, the Centerburg team be-
ing decidedly weak both in hitting and
fielding. The Grays, at times, showed
a great deal of form and, with more
practice, will be able to put up very
good game.
A number of games have been
scheduled by the manager of the local
nine and some interesting contests
are to he expected during the coming
season.

The entertainment given in the
Presbyterian church by Master La
berne Jones, the boy reader, on Fri
day evening of last week, was most
pleasing affair. His talent as a reader
at the early age OF 16 years, is certain
ly remarkable. Also the ease and
grace with which each number was
given. Another marked feature of the
evening was the able assistance by
Miss Hazel Swan. pianist, and Mrs
Pyle, violinist. Miss Swans piano
solo was most heartily encored. being
thoroughly appreciated by the audi
ence.

RAID
Made On A Resort On West
High Street Sunday
And One Man Was Arrested
For BOOtlegging
And Another Locked Up On
Assault Charge
Men We're Drinking Booze
Labeled "FOr Rheumatism"
Which They Claimed They
Bought ForlA..Sick Woman

A raid made by the police on a re-
sort on West High street Sunday
afternoon at about 8 o'clock, result.
ing in the arrest Of two men, one on
a charge of assault and another on a
charge of "bootIegglng."
Shortly before 3 o'clock, complaints
were made to the police by neighbors
residing near the apartments occu-
pied by Lyman Knapp, between Me-
chanic and Sandusky streets, on the
north side of High street. The officers
we're notified that the place was be-
coming nuisance and that 1t was
suspicioned that liquor was being sold
there. Shortly afterward, Chief of Po-
lice Clements and Lieutenant McElroy
made visit to the house and found
that fight had been in progress and
that a general disturbance had been
going OH for some time. Several men
were found to be drinking whiskey
out of a quart bottle which was Ia
beled For Rheumatsh." On being
questioned, the men stated that they
had procured the liquor at drug
store and that they had secured the
prescription of doctor, but they had
told the physician that it was to be
used for medical purposes. They
stated that lady, who had for some
time been patient of the doctor,
sent them for the whisky and, by TAX.
ing this method of deception, the men
found no trouble in securing the pre-
scription.
The police investigated the matter
and asked the sick woman If she had
sent the men after the liquor and she
stated that she had not and that she
had all the whisky that she needed
without buying more.
The men arrested were Il. B. Miner
and Harry Pyle, the first for bootleg
ging and the latter for assault and
battery. The men were taken to the
county Jail, where they were locked
up to await hearing, which was sci
for Monday afternoon at 8 o'clock. II
is probable. that there will be more
developments in the case and thai
other arrests will be made as mum
ber of other men were implicated il
the affair.
The alleged resort has been watched
for some time by the officers and onl!
few weeks ago. Mayor Mitchell or
dered women to vacate the apart
ments, which they had been occupy
ing and which were soon taken NJ
by Lyman Knapp.
