NEW POSTAL LAW.

A new postal law effecting the
hours of labor Of clerks and carrie@:
in first and second postoffices, in the
United States, will go into effect
March 18th, 1913, the day of President
elect Wilson's, inauguration.
This law says carrier or clerk IS
required to do 8 hours work within
10 hours. This will require Eome
good planning by the postmaster to
arrange the hours of labor of the
employees at the Alexandria Office, for
the reason thai residents of this city
like to receive their mail early in the
morning, and as there is consider
able quantity of mail received for dis
tribution about 4 o'clock p. M, which
requires the carriers to labor until
$50 p. m., to deliver this laat mail,
so as not 20 hold any over for the ne%t
day, it is easily seen that some OF
the clerks and carriers are now COM
PEELED to work hours in ~.

Favors Industrial Commission.

Senator PoindeXter Of Washington
today declared himself in favor of the
creation of a Federal Industrial Com
mission, which should be empowered
by Congress to deal with industrial
conditions such as those revealed in
the Lawrence Textile strike in which
he took an active interest last win
ter.
His plan is that such a commission
should establish rules governing both
hours and wages and the conditions of
labor in plants operated by corpora
tions engaged in interstate industry,
and that it should enforce these rules,
which should be adapted to the Cir
cumstances Of the place and the pre-
vailing industrial conditions of the
year. The same industrial commits
sion would be empowered to enforce
the federal law against these corpora
tions in matters of special privileges
in shipping, and other conditions
which tend to monopoly.

A SAD CASE.
Little Boy, Subject of Epilepsy, Be
comes irresponsible.

A five -year-old boy named Hammill
of this city, has recently been giving
hi. parents and others trouble by his
overt acts, so much so that the author
tiles have been called upon to take
action. A conference was held this
morning in the office of Samuel p
Fisher, Corporation Attorney, to ar
rive at some agreement which might
re.ult in permanent good to the little
one. Mr.. Maston, secretary of the
States Board of Charities, and DE-
Warfeld, of this city, were present.
DR.. Warfeld, who made an exami-
nation, stated that it was evident the
boy was suffering from pressure upor
the brain, superinduced possibly by
falling from an engine two years
ago. The child sings, dances ant
smokes cigarettes and is cheerful.
MIR. Marston said he would commun'
icate with DR.. De Jarnette, of the
Western Asylum, and see if the
youngster can be sent to the epileptl'
colony. Medical men will also OBJ
serve the patient and decide whetheI
an operation will be necessary in or

The Jesuit Question.

The Jesuit question was raised in
The German Reichstag yesterday by
the clerical leader, DR.. Peter SPAIN,
who declared that the Bundesrath's
recent Interpretation of the anti jesuit
law of 1872 had made more severe the
privisionS of the law, thereby al
fronting 100000 Catholics in the
realm. He read a formal declaration
of the Clerical Center party to the
effect that German Catholics, so far
az they are represented by the Cier-
ical party in the Reichstag, "have no
confidence that the needs Of the Cath
olics in the German Empire will re-
ceive just consideration from the I'M
perial Chancellor and the Bundesrath,
and will order their conduct accardinG
ly."
The Imeprial Chancellor, DR.. Won
Bethmann-H Hollweg, in reply, defend
ed the Bundesrath's decision as only
an Interpretation Of law 40 years
old. This decision in effect holds that
Bavaria's recent course in modifying
the severity Of the enforcement ii
the imperial legislation against the
Jesuit order in Germany was illegal.
The Chancellor declared that the
Prot:et2nts always. have bitterly op-
posed the Jesuits, who also in the
past have not been tolerated even in
certain Catholic countries on account
of their militant activity in politics,
the church and the schools, ther IN
ternational character and their oppo-
sition to the growth of the modern
conception of the state"
While 24,OOO,000 Catholics wanted
the anti-Jesuit law repealed, continued
the Chancellor, 100000 Protestants
wanted it retained, and he warned
the Centrists against renewal OF
the religious conflict of the seventies.
A Socialist speaker, assured the
Clericals that his party would sup
port any attempt which was made to
repeal the law. The two parties to:
gether have d big majority in the

Woman Who Killed Another
on Her Wedding Day
To Be Arraigned.
HER FATHER BLAMED.
Wants Husband to Forget Her and
Marry Another Woman Who Will
Not Bring Him Trouble.

Logansport. Indo., Dec. 5.-Mrs
Elizabeth Clark Lang, who on her wed
ding day shot and killed Mrs. Mary
Copple because the latter gossipeo
about her, pleaded guilty to man
slaughter in court today. This ples
was made by an agreement with the
prosecutor, who advised the woman
to take her chances on the lesser
charge rather than face an indict-
ment of first degree murder. Sen
tence was deferred temporarily.
Joseph Lang, the prisoners hus-
band, announced that he would not
object to his wife's plea of guilty
but would follow her suggestions nc
further.
"I'm going to get her out of prison
and take her away, and start all over,
he said.
You're too good for me, Joe"
said Mrs. Lang. 'rYou get a di-
yorce as soon as I am sentenced and
maybe you will find some other girl
who will not cause you trouble. Let
them bury me away in prison. Don't
spend any money hiring lawyers for
me-"
'If people knew what harm gos-
sip caused, they would hold their ton
gues," she said" No matter what a
woman's past has been would like to
tell every ne that none get so bad
that they don't long to be good"
The public sympathizes with Mrs
Lang but strongly condemn her faith
er, James Clark, who, it develops,
threatened his daughter with exposure
of her past if she persisted in marry
ing Lang.
Ibid threaten Lizzie with expo
sure" said Clark, VINO is held at wit
ness, "and am sorry. But did not
want her to leave me. ! believed that
if Lang kept hearing things about
her he would leave her."
In further appeal against gossip,
Mrs. Lang said:
"I entreat people to keep their ton
cues of ia woman when she is trying
to do right, no matter what her past
has been. Sometimes a woman does
wrong and reaches turn in the road
when she sees that she is doing wrong
and wants to tur naround and go back.
The road is thorny enough without
others making it worse"

WATCHING WAR GAME.
Ruse of Greece to Enable Navy, With
Understanding of Allies, to Keep
Eyes on Turkey.

vienna, lee. o.-lWO Greeh gun
boats today were reported to be vigo-
rous:y bombarding Valona, city of
Albania. The gunners aimed their
shells especially at public buildings
displaying the Albanian flag, despite
the protests of Ismail Kemail Bey,
provisional president of Albania.
This action on the part Of Greece
made military experts believe that
the plenipotentiaries Of King George
were sincere in their refusal to sign
the protocol for an armistice at Bagh-
tche and that Greece meant to carry
on active warfare single handed.
London, Dec. 5.-The reported ac-
tivity Of Greek gunboats off the AL
banian coast today upset the calcula-
tion< Of military experts watching the
war game.
1t was apparent that the Greeks were
in earenss in declaring that they,
alone, would c;-rry on the war with
Turkey. 1t had been reported that
the ENJOYS of King George would sign
the protocol for an armistice within
twenty four hours and that their re-
fusal to sign with the other ENJOYS
was just rush to enable the Greek
navy, with the full undertaking of the
Balkan nations, to keep weather eye
on the Porte.
Greece, all along, has coveted a
large slice of Albania, which is that
poysion of Turkey in Europe lying to
the north of the Greek frontier. The
firing upon Valona today was taken
to mean that the Greeks refuse to rec
ognize the autonomy of Albania, and
aim by continued fighting to bring
about partition of that country.
The work of charting new map Of
what has hitherto been European
Turkey will begin in London Friday,
December 18th. If the Balkan allies
are able to agree among themselves
as to the portions of the spoils that
each will receive, there seems to
probability, that hostilities will be re-
sumed.
Constantinople, Dec. 5.-The first
food trains today were on their way
from Constantinople to Adrianoplc,
carrying rations to the Hungry Bull
garian army before the besieged city.
The trains set out last night as soon
as the Interpretation of the terms of
the protocol was made clear to the
officials.
The truce agreement provided that
the beleaguered cities of Scutari and
Adlianople should not be reprovis-
ioned by the Turks, but their civil in
habitants and defenders will be fed by
the Bulgars. Turkey will supply daily
rations to the Bulgarian soldiers By
way of the Oriental Railway to Adria
nople, and by the Black Sea and Ae-
gean routes, and the Bulagrians in
Turn will pass food into the cities.
The Ikdam, leading CONSTANT
nople newspaper, today stated that
Greece would formally participate in
the armistice within few days.
