PARCELS POST IN EFFECT AFTER
JANUARY 1, 1913.

BY the act of congress, August "a,
1912, parcel post is to be establish
ed throughout the United States and
its possessions on the first day of
January, 1918.
The new law provides that after
January /, 1913 fourth class mail
matters shall embrace all other mat
ter including farm and factory pro-
ducts. not now embraced by law in
either the first, second or third class,
not exceeding IL pounds in weight,
nor greater in size than ~ inches in
length and girth combined nor form
or kind likely to injure the person OF
any postal employee or other mail
matter and not of a character per-
ishable within period reasonably
required for transportation and de-
livery"
First class matter will continue to
consist of letters, ETC., at cents per
ounce or fraction thereof. Second
class matter consists of periodicals
mailed to subscribers at 1 ent per
pound. Third class matter is books,
other printed matter, seeds plants and
bulbs at / cent for 2 ounces for all
distances.
Fourth class matter, therefore, in
cludes almost everything that people
have to buy or sell other than letters,
newspapers and printed matter.
"On all matter mailed at the post
office from which rural route starts,
for delivery on such route, or mailed
at any point on such route for deliv-
cry at any other point thereon, or at
the office from which the route starts
or on any rural route starting there
from, and on all matter mailed at a
city carrier office or at any point with
in it's delivery limits, for delivery by
carriers from that office, or at any
office for local delivery, cents for
the first pound or fraction of pound
and 1 cent for each additional pound
or fraction of pound"
The zone system for the first time
introduces into the American postal
service for the purposes of the new
general parcel post the principle Of
rates based on distance, instead of
one universal rate for all distances,
which has been the rule heretofore.
The new law provides that the pos
tage on parcels up to but not exceed
ing four ounces in weight, shall con-
tinue to be fiat rate of l cent per
ounce for all distances.
The new rate will apply to all par
cells weighing more than four ounces
that is, whether package weighs five
ounces or from that up to 16 ounces
it will pay the pound rate. Then If
it weighs anywhere between II and
80 ounces it will pay the two pound
rate and so on.
The limit of weight of any one par
eel is raised to II pounds, same as
prevails in the parcel post between
the United States and foreign coun-
tries. The present weight limit in
the domestic mails is four pounds.
Zones, and the rates of Parcel post
age to each will be as follows:

LACK PRISONERS
TO FINISH ROAD
Improvement of Thoroughfare
to Country Held Up-No
Workers Available.

Work on the road improving pro-
ject south of Sears, is being delayed
from a most unusual cause-lack OF
county prisoners available for work on
the rock crusher and in spreading the
rock after it is hauled to the road.
1t seems that there are only one or
two prisoners now in the county bas-
tile who are working out fines and as
these are the only ones who can be
put to work, the road improving must
stop unless there were some means
OF hiring men. AS there are no funds
available, this is out Of the question.
There is plenty of crushed rock
available and many farmers are will
ing to loan their teams, but, the work
must wait for more prisoners. 1t may
be that the prospects Of work on the
road is what is keeping down the num-
Der of county boarders.

BANKERS OBJECT
TONEW ELECTION
Issue Protest to Governor
Against Making Special Pro-
vision for County Judge.

The banks of Rock Island county to-
day made a concerted protest against
the holding of a special election for
county Judge. and in line of their &C
ton sent a communication TO that eff
feet to the governor of Illinois, as well
as to the board of supervisors. They
take the stand that the special election
will put the county to an expense of
from $4,000 to $1,000, as was repeated
" set forth by The Argus during the
course of the campaign, and it is con-
tended tina. the present condition OF
county finances will not permit of such
an expenditure.
1t is the belief of the bankers, who
are in a position to know the exact
status of the Rock Island county treas
ury. and who realize the extent of the
outstanding obligations. that the coun-
~ can get along until the regular time
for the county judicial election, two
years hence.

NEGRO MURDERS
WOMAN; HEAD is
NEARLY SEVERED

One of the most horrible murders
in the annals of the Rock Island police
force was committed this afternoon
shortly after $3.50 at 2122 Fourth ave-
nue., when Samuel Green, colored,
leaped upon Mrs. Emma Davis, also
cclored, and with a razor N his hand
almost severed her head from her
body. The woman died almost in
stantly. Green was captured by the
police and is now in custody at the
station. He said in explanation of
the brutal killing: she laid around
drunk all the time l was jealous of
her"
The couple had lived together as
man and wife for several years, but
had separated a short time ago, the
man removing to Davenport with two
children. This afternoon he asked
Officer Kell to accompany him to the
house on Fourth avenue, as he wanted
to get the insurance policy which the
woman had in her possession.
The officer and negro entered the
door together, and the instant the
nan put his eyes on her, he pulled a
razor and leaping upon her, ran it
over half way through her neck, the
head hanging to the body by few
riches of flesh. When the attack was
made, Officer Kell leaped upon the
murderer and with swing of his club
II the mans head, felled him to the
floor unconscious.

ACTION ENDED BY
CROSS WARRANT
Harry Roberts, City's Star Wit
ness Against His Wife, Mys-
teriously Disappears.

The trial Of Mrs. Harry Roberts,
charged with being an inmate OF dis
orderly house. was brought to an abb
rupt end this af ernoon, when the city
charging attempted extortion had been
sworn out by Mrs. Robert against her
husband. who was TO have been the
star witness for the prosecution. When
Magistrate Smith signed the warrant,
the city attorney announced that the
city had decided to drop the case. and
moved a dismissal. The judge there
upon dismissed Mrs. Roberts. but upon
going to the chiefs office to present
the warrant 20 an officer for service,
learned that the star witness had mys-
teriously disappeared, in a space of
five minutes.
The question of admissibility of
hearsay evidence caused a clash be-
tween City Attorney J.sF. Witter and
John K. Scott. the latter appearing for
the defendant Witter claimed that
reputable men of the city had visited
the HolzappIe place and learned its
nature and told the police, whereupon
Scott vainly demanded that these men
be brought before the jury. Direct tes-
timony introduced by the city was
rather meager
Roberts is the man who caused the
raid in which his wife was arrested
and 1t is alleged that he went to the
police following his wife's refusal to
give him $50. Hence the warrant.

DELIVERS FINE ADDRESS.
Rev. ]. NJ. Davidson, of Macomb,
general missionary, delivered an ad-
dress last evening at the church on
Missionary Problems of the Diocese"
DR.. Davidson was the first candidate
for honors in the diocese after it's for
nation in the year 1877, and whose
first 10 years Of ministerial work were
given to the very field of which he
now has charge after a 20-years' abb
sence.
The speaker referred pleasantly to
his visit to Rock Island 16 years ago
when for two months he substituted
of the latter's work for missions then
so far in advance of his day, and
which have been so wonderfully de-
veloped and carried on under the able
administration of the present rector,
Rev. G. H. Sherwood.
Dr. Davidson presented his subject
from the standpoint of evident famil-
-, ,rvith
and it was a forceful and practical ad-
dress in every respect. His talk
should result in a largely increased
interest in diocesan missionary work.
Holy communion was celebrated
this morning at 1880 o'clock in the
chapel with morning prayer at $50.
Following the prayer service a bust
