AGREEMENT ON
PARCELS POST
Senate Committee Will Repor
Modified Form of Bourne's
Plan-Eight Zones Created

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July 90
After a dispute of more than two
months the senate committee on post
offices and post roads received ar
agreement today on the postoffice ap.
preparation bill and the measure wifi
be reported Monday.
The parcels post provision, the .prin-
cipal subject in dispute, finally was
threshed out by Senator Bourne, the
author of the provision and Senator
Brstow of Kansas.
Senators Bristow and Bourne sit
ting as a subcommittee on the par
cells post agreed on a modified form
of Senator's Bourne's plan. It re-
tains Bourne's scheme for a division
Of the country into zones within which
rates for the transmission of parcels
shall be the same Senator Bristow
believed the Bourne plan would place
rates so low that the project would be
found impractlcable. To meet his
objections eight zones were outlined
instead of six as originally planned
and the rates proposed by Senator
Bourne were increased. The maxi
mum rate remains at II cents. the
rate OF the postal union.
Zones and Rates
Senator'S Bourne and Bristow
agreed upon the parcels post zones as
follows:
First zone, length so miles, rate
cents for the first pound. cents for
each additional pound; second zone,
length lao miles, rate 6 and 4 cents;
third zone. length 800 miles. rate Z
and cents; fourth zone, length 600
miles. rate s and cents; fifth zeue.
length | 900 miles, rate and cents;
sixth zone. length. 400 miles. rate 20
and cents; seventh zone, length 1900
zone. length over 1900 miles. rate -
cents per pound straight. Maximum
packages, IL pounds.
Senator Bourne originally proposed
six zones to range in length from SO
to 1900 miles The idea of shorten
ing the zones Is that 1t would benefit
the smaller merchants and that it
would increase the income of the sys-
tenn and make it self-sustafning.
A provision IL made for local de-
livery fixing a. charge of, s cents for
the first pound and one cent for each
additional pound or Is cents for an Ii
pound package. The proposal by Sem
ator Bourne to combine the third and
fourth class malls into one class is
eliminated as completed by the sem
ate committee. The bill carries about
S262, 600, 900, or an increase of about
1900. 600 over the house bill

PAPER MONEY GOES SOUTH
Gold and Silver Coin No Longer the
FavOrite i'm That Section

WASHINGTON, July 20. - Paper
money rapidly is becoming the med
ium of circulation in the south, dis
placing silver coin which for years
was preferred in that section. Treas
ury officials say there is an enormous
increase in shipments of notes and a
remarkable decrease in the movement
of gold and silver coins to the south
ern states.
This change has taken place in the
past few months. 1t began, officials
assert, when the government ceased
paying for the transportation of coin
to banks. Banks now apply for cur
rency, which is less expensive to trans
port.
BY compelling banks to pay the ex-
pressage on money the treasury ex-
poets to save about 100000 annually.

81 PRISONERS HAVE
4. RUNAWAY FROM WEST
Record Of Flight From State Peni-
Tertiary Exceeds That Of
Former Years

SALEM, Or, July 2O.--Escape or
prisoners from the penitentiary since
Governor West assumed the governor
ship in 1910 little over a year and
q half ago-and inaugurated at the
institution his honor system have
reached the total of 81, and should
they continue ait the same rate as in
the past 1872 convicts will have effected
their escape during his four years adj
ADMINISTRATION. "a
OF the total number escaping "a
were '.fonor men, prisoners who had
pledged their word of honor to the
governor that they would not violate
the confidence reposed in them. The
remaining ~ either escaped direct
from the institution or while serving
in the capacity of TRUSTEES, most of
them of the latter class. OF the 81
escaping "a are still at large.
During the first four years of the
Chamberlain administration but four
prisoners effected their escape. In the
last two years of his administration Is
escaped each year, making a total of
80. During the first year of Benson's
dministrAdon--fhe banner for the
escape Of convicts under the old sys-
tenn of guarding them-37 escaped.
The next year only II ran away.
The population of the penitentiary
ds now 396, and 242 of them are
either employed in the construction Of
roads, improvements of buildings or
other things. leaving 154 prisoners in
side the penit entiary walls Under
the administration Of Chamberlain
and Benson not over 40 or so convicts
were working on the outside at time.
it is said, and the advocates of the
governors honor system declare,
when the number of men working
outside under his administration is
compared with those who worked out
side under the two former admins
trationS that a smaller percentage Of
prisoners had escaped under the
''honor system than under the guard
system.
Those opposed to the "honor sys-
temp however, submit that t11e pris-
oners have Just begun to run away
and prophecy that the escapes from
now on will -Ibe even more frequent
than In the past The only thing that
can, make the escapes less frequent,
they assert, is the wholesale granting
OF paroles and pardons.
ssP In support of these assertions they
declare that when Governor West In
augurated his honor system every CON
vtct put on his honor believed that II
his conduct was good for a short time
me would be given parole or a par
don. At the beginning the escapes
were infrequent, they declare, but as
time wore on and paroles and par
dons failed to come as fast as they
believed they should, one after the
other fed until the total number has
now passed the half-hundred mark
Because of failure Of the convicts to
live up to the standard. paroles have
not been given out as thick and fast
as in the past, and there is much dis
content now existing among them
This discomfort has evidenced itself
by the fight Of a number in the last
few months. vi F

PROTEST AGAINST
HOME APPLE PACK
New York Dealers Evidently
Think This Valley Does Not
Measure up to Standard

Protest from New York regarding
the character of the North Yakima
apple pack has already appeared this
season from the people at the other
end who are expected to take hold of
and market the orchard products of
this valley. Two more expressions of
opinion on the same subject have
been received in this CITY, One is
from Steinhardt a. Kelly, who are
we'll known as very exclusive dealers
in northwestern fruit, and it will be
noted that they ignore Yakima absp-
lutely. The other Is from the Messrs.
KimbaIl, who are very outspoken in
their criticism. The letters are as fol-
lows.
Steinhardt n Kelly of New York
'fIn answer to your letter of July I
we take pleasure In referring to the
Hood River Apple Growers union at
Hood River, or to the Wenatchee
Fruit Growers association. who Will
gladly give you what information you
desire. The pack as put up by these
assocla tons meets with our thorough
approval from the standpoint of both
the export merchants and of the pur-
veyors of fine fruit to the exclusive
trade of the east. They will tell you
exactly the proper method of grading
and packing, which information you
seem to desire. We have really no
suggestions to make which could pos
slbly improve their packs. We are
practically the heaviest purchasers of
apples In the northwest. OF course IL
you want any further information
that we can give you, we will be only
too glad to have you communicate
with u.s..
What Messrs. kimbali Say
c. II. and c. w kimbull of New
York. who have already been quoted
by North Yakima firm on the need
for more care in the packing and
grading Of Yakima fruit, have the
following to offer:
I'VE would say. that inasmuch as
the trade are already familiar with
the present method of packing apples
In the state of Washington, we believe
that 1t would be unwise to attempt to
change from the method of the sizing
of the present time.
However, we do recommend and
highly recommend, that greater pains
be taken in sizing and grading. Many
times we have seen apples that should
be in the $50 class packed in with
ass or bigger, the packer depending
much on paper to fill up the differ
ence. but that doesn't work and the
apples are slack in the boxes.
North yakima packs the poorest
Of any apple growing section of the
northwest. The quality Is by far the
most unreliable and their packers are
very faulty from the reason Of not
being full and tight and solid "

CHICAGO, July 19.--Governor
charles s. Deneens authority to name
a successor to William Lorimer as
United States senator is in doubt, and
ne is seeking advice ON the point. 1t
had been anticipated that Deneen
would resign as governor and be sue
ceeded by the lieutenant governor.
VINO would promptly name Deneen as
senator. Now, however, this program
is interrupted by the question raised
as TO the governors authority. The
contention is that the senate's action
declaring Lorimer's election invalid"
means that the Illinois legislature had
failed to elect a senator. Therefore
the seat was never legally filled. In
that event the vacancy cannot be
filled by executive appointment.

TO prepare for a general resumption
Of work tomorrow. In southern
Wales prospects of resumption are
not bright, as enginemen and other

for the suicide. Hartnett, who had

shortly before 8 o'clock. His daugh-
