S2OO FOR NORWICH PARCELS POST
Amount Allowed by Government For Expenses Reports to be Made of Amount Handled in First Fifteen Days What the New Stamps Look Like.

postage stamps will not be valid for payment of postage on fourth class mail matter, neither will parcels post stamps be valid for payment of post age on 1st, 2nd or 3rd class matter.
 Matter of the 1st, End and 3rd class, bearing parcels post stamps and be- ginning Jan. 1, 1913. matter of the fourth class bearing ordinary postage stamps will be treated as held for pos tage
 The following are new points re- garding the service:
 All parcels must bear return card from the sender.
 Provision is made for the indemni- fication of shippers, for shipments lost or injured, by insurance or other wise.
 The new laws will not in any way affect the rates on seeds, bulbs, cut tings, roots. scions, plants as is un- derstood by such shippers through previous laws.
 The limit of shipping as 1t now stands is expected to be increased as the government has placed orders fol scales of the capacity of 20 pounds.
 The law is interpreted to read tha the farmer may mail any sort of pro duce not too heavy or dangerous, a! may the manufacturer or retailer, bu it is within the province of the post master general to prescribe how thu goods shall be packed.
 With Postmaster Caruthers as witt all others, the operation of the par cels post is largely a matter of con lecture, yet as to just how much will amount to, and what provision for extra men will have to be mad to take care of it. One factor tha will equip the Norwich office to handl it better than many others is tn large number of rural free deliver, carriers from here. There are min and they will help out a lot, Post master Caruthers expects. Some time ago the postmaster a requested by the department. sent let ters of inquiry to Norwich merchant who might be expected to use tn parcels post, asking them to give es inmates of how much mail the would have to send that way. Eight responses were received, furnishin data for summarizing and sending t | Washington.

 Norwich. Conn, Dec. [. 1912. George Haven. Chief of Police, New
 London, Conn:
 Dear General:
 I have noticed some criticisms in the New London papers of the New London police department in connec- tion with the case of the death of Alonzo D. Hussey. These criticisms are not warranted by the facts in this case as far as they have been ascer- talned. There was no external eVi- dence that this man had received a fatal injury or any injury other than , what might have been caused by h s fall on the bridge, having been seen walking alone previously like a man in normal condition. His talk alone indicated something abnormal, but nothing that the officers who took him to the station had any reason to believe required the attendance of a physician, as the man talked with those who were present on the bridge ; and at the station and said nothing of having been assaulted or having met with any accident. Nothing ol a criminal nature was sus pected dn- til the autopsy was perfo mea, 6. q when the autopsy revealed a fial ture of the skull which might hav- i been caused by an acciGent TT n: q i criminal assault, the latter ca.Se u.Gs given in the comments OI th taf.e~s as most probable, and the ,,uli .y- partment of New LCnGon Gur S.6 ~. apathy in the case. Al h. bt-.-..ui,t- of the coroners lnvcst.0at.uI' i. - peared as thCuzh a.r. IjrSa,., r"s-. on the bridge rom Gr.juI &nl ]. V so understood from huss=y h!ns =, that was the reason O4ac4rs TubEs a. Vincent were requestel by tEe cor nc. to make careful inquiry in Groton, when later 1t was leai ned that Illus sey was first seen coming from il New London side the police depart ment of New London was infoi med O. that fact, and prompt assuran.e wa! given the coroner that the force would do all they could to learn whethel Hussey had been in New London ana whether he had been the vlc,im of an, criminal assault in the city. Reports from the New London police have beer made to the coroner from time t time and investigation of the matte IS still going on. When all the in formation possible to be obtained con cerning the movements of MT. Husse, from the time he left Providence fo New York and when he arrived il New London from New York up t the time he was found on the bridg has been obtained a verdict in tn case will be given.
 Yours respectfully,
 FRANKLIN Fl. BROWN,
 Coroner for New London County.
