made the following statement:
Congress in its wisdom has given

reign which forbids any saloonkeeper

CALLS FOR MILITIA.
Sheriff Unable to Handle County
Seat Fight in Oklahoma.

Fort Smith, Ark, Dec. 11.-As a
climax to the county seat fight in
Delaware county, Oklahoma, between
the towns of Old and New Jay, mob
of 100 men is reported to have
marched into the town of New Jay,
where the county officials have es-
tablished offices, taken the county
peace officers into custody and as
sumed control of the town.
Governor Cruce has been appealed
to, to send a detachment of militia to
the scene.
Because of an interruption in wire
communication, only meager details of
the occurrence are available. The tele-
phone office at Grove, the former
county seat, reports wires to Jay to

Sheriff H. P. Thompson at Jay te1e-

drunk men heavily armed had taken
possession of Jay and that conditions
there were intolerable. The sheriff
stated that he summoned all available
men to aid him, but that they were
unable to control the situation.

FOR PARCEL POST
Uncle Sam Is Making Immense
Preparations for 1913.
Rules Governing Sending of
Large Packages.
GREATEST EXPRESS SYSTEM
q. S. Has Biggest Single Bust
ness Enterprise.
Hints on Measuring and Weigh
ing of New Mail.

| Washington, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE post
al system of the United States. with
its $4,000 postoffices, 2S5,O0O employees,
| 100000 miles of rail, boat and star
routes and one million miles of rural
mail routes, is the largest single busi-
ness enterprise in the world. When the
new parcel post system is in full oper-
alton Uncle Sam will be found conduct
ing probably the greatest express busi-
ness in existence.
Rural free delivery of mail has re-
suited in bringing the farmer in closer
touch with the world daily, has ele-
waited his degree of intelligence and has
worked in hundreds of ways to his fl
nancial gain. The establishment of a
parcel post will mean an additional en-
hancement to his welfare as well as
convenience. Rural telephones have
practically spread all over the country
and they will be used in conjunction
with the parcel post, to the advantage
of both farmer and country merchant
The good wife will telephone or write
orders for her groceries and provisions,
as well as merchandise. If the farmer
breaks a harrow or a part of some farm
equipment, it will not be necessary for
him to hitch up and drive to town; he
will merely step to his phone and order
the new part by "P. P.'' The time
for his outlay of stamps. 1t is expected
the country merchant will soon be
found advertising free delivery in his
local papers, just as his city brothers
do. They will use parcel post as their
delivery wagons.
Shape of New Packages.
It probably will be some time before
the people will become thoroughly ia
miliar with the exact size and shaped
package prescribed by law to be ac-
cepted for parcel post delivery. The
parcel must be oblong in shape, and
have a girth of both length and width
not to exceed six feet. For instance,
if a package measured 8 feet in length
and approximately foot wide, it would
come within the requirements of the
regulations. The measurement will be
made by taking the tape and encom-
passing the package from end to end
and then its circumference for width.
In other words, it's matter of meas
uring the two circumference of the
bundle, and not just it's length and
width.
The government will charge a small
fee, when desired, foS insurance against
loss or injury of all parcels mailed un-
der this system.
The equipment necessary for this
service will include a zone map spe-
cially drawn for each postoffice, a !
guide book giving rates of postage for
the various zones, special postage
stamps. insurance tags, rubber stamp
for insurance. scales and a tape meas
ure Every postmaster, rural carrier
and star route carrier will be provided
with these articles.
For this service the department has
purchased 125,000 scales. Two hundred
of the largest postoffices will be pro-
vided with automatic computing scales. |
The next class of offices, numbering |
10000 will be given high-grade beam |
scales, while the fourth-class offices, |

INCREASE IN TAXES.
Unpopular With San Francisco Voters
Results of Election.

San Francisco, Dec. 11.-Of the
thirty-seven charter amendments
voted upon at yesterdays city cleo
ton, all those which through in
creased salaries to city officials or en-
ployees would have increased taxation,
were decisively defeated.
The proposed increase In the salary
of the chief of police received fewest
votes. The plan to divide the fremen
into two shifts, increasing the mum ber
of firemen by nearly half, on incom-
plete returns, was defeated by a mar
row margin.
Amendments aimed to facilitate
preparations for the 1915 exposition
were accorded hearty support, as were
proposals to pension families of fire
men and policemen killed while on
duty; to establish a "city planning
bureau" for beautifying the city; and
to establish assessment districts for
tunnels for street car and vehicle
traffic.
An amendment taking from the po-
lice commission the power to regulate
the issuance of saloon licenses in
favor of local option districts was de-
feated decisively. Women were per-
mitted to run for Office by the adop-
ton of the amendment removing the
sex qualification.
