EMBASSY BUILDINGS ABROAD
Mr.. Knox Says They Cannot Be Built
For S15O,O0O, the Limit Fixed.

Secretary oe State Knox reported to
congress that it would be impossible
for the United States to purchase or
build embassies and legations in the
principal capitals of the old world
within the limit of $150,000 for each
structure, which is fixed by the bill
passed at the last session of the Sixty
first congress. This measure author
izes the expenditure Of $500,OOO year,
but declares that no building shall cost
more than $150O00.
Secretary Knox recommends the pur-
chase or construction of buildings for
the embassies at Mexico City and To-
kyo to cost $150,000 each, the construc-
ton of a legation building at Berne,
Switzerland, at cost of $4,000 and
the expenditure of $780, 900 for build
ing for the consul general at Hankow,
China. The United States already
owns piece of ground at Tokyo upon
which 1t Is proposed to construct the
embassy headquarters.
Secretary Knox says his conclusion
that the United States will not be able
to acquire suitable buildings within the
$150,OOO limit at foreign capitals is
based on general inquiry made under
his direction.

Bill Providing II For 5000 Towns and
Villages That Do Not Now Have IT,

Ten million residents In more than
1900 towns or Incorporated villages In
this country which do not now have
letter carrier service can be provided
with free mail delivery for about $3,-
100000 a year, according to estimates
made by supporters of bill which
Representative Griest of Pennsylvania
has introduced.
The measure proposes new and eco
nomical system of mail carrier service
for non-mai delivery towns or incorpo-
rated communities having 1000 or
more Inhabitants Mr. Griest contends
there are 1858 such second and third
class postoffice towns that are between
the free delivery and the city delivery
stage and that would come within the
scope of his bill.
New York state has 261 towns with
postal receipts and population within
the limitations Of the Griest bill. Penn
sylvania is second, with POS eligible
towns.
There are $4,000 rural mail routes
serving 20,00O0O0 people. The city de-
livery service takes care OF 100000
people In 1.541 cities. This, Mr.. Griest
says, leaves many thousands OF people,
the majority Of whom reside In towns
and villages, without any form Of free
mail delivery.

HELD PRISONER BY FISH.
Man Rescued as He Was About to
Drown In Risinq Tide,

Held prisoner in a cramped position
fifty yards from shore by large black
abalone, Roy Hathaway stood in the
ocean off Rodondo Beach, Cal, two
hours and called for help In vain,
while the tide rose until the waves
swept over his head He was seen by
chance and rescued. He would have
been drowned in a few minutes.
Hathaway and several others went
to the beach for a walk F'athaway
clambered on the rocks TO look for
shellfish, and others of the party trav-
eled on a quarter of mile to fish.
In feeling into crevice Hathaway's
right hand came into contact with the
nbalone. which closed down on two of
his fingers, holding him like wise.
Suffering intense pain and watching
the water creep up inch by inch, the
young man had given up all hope when
companions came back and saw his
head and shoulders between the waves.
They pried the abalone off with an
iron bar.

DISTINCT CRIMINAL CLASS.
Chief Inspector Of the Postoffice De-
partment Reports on Arrests and
Convictions - Effective Stop When
Promoters Have Been Found Guilty.

Robert S. Sharp, chief inspector Of
the postoffice department, In his annual
report says that the fraudulent pro-
moters who have been put out of busi-
ness by the postotfice department In
the last lear have obtained the enor-
nous total of SIT 100000 from the gull
lible public. In the crusades which the
department has made In the last year
against these men 500 individuals were
indicted. 497 arrested. 1S4 convicted,
II acquitted. and lit are awaiting trial.
There are also seventy-two awaiting
action by the United States grand jury
and forty eight fugitives from Justice
Inspector Sharp says:
The determination to bring these pro-
moters into court and obtain prison sem
tences against them have proved exceed
ingly successful, as evidenced by the re-
suits set forth in this report. In no in
stance. as far as known to this office. has
a person convicted of criminal charge of
this character attempted to reorganize his
scheme under a new name, as was often
the case where fraud orders alone Were
resorted to-
In a number of cases in which arrests
have been made owing to the volume or
letters received daily by the culprits 1t
has been found advisable to ask for the
issuance of fraud orders, and the office or
the assistant attorney general Tor the
postoffice department after a most care
ful consideration of all the facts in each
case concurred In the Recommendation or
the inspector. This action on the part OF
the attorney generals Office has been the
means of saving many thousands of dol
lars to the public.
The result of the years work has devel-
lators are a distinct class OF criminals.
some of them moving in the highest social
and business circles but nearly all having
more or less affiliations and connections

they are not known as promoters.
The cost in time. money and talent to
the government of the investigation and
prosecution Of these cases and the corre-
sponding loss to other exceedingly impor-

manding attention are apparent. and re-

Investigation Of this class Of caseg.
