FULLERTON MOTHER
STAYS HER CHILD
Mrs. Greiff Ends Life of Her
Little Daughter on Satur-
day Afternoon.
First Tried to Poison, but Be.
ing Too Slow Cut the Lit
tie Ones Throat.

Mrs. R. A. Greif committed an un-
natural crime at Fullerton Saturday af-
ternoon, when she murdered her two
year-old daughter. The father was
away at work and the mother was in
care of the four children. While the
youngest was on the bed the mother
administered two grains of strychnine.
The poison not acting quickly enough,
the mother took razor and cut the
child's throat from ear to ear.
After doing the terrible deed the
woman went to the home of her neigh
bor, Mrs. Lawrence, telling what she
had done, and saying she wanted to go
up town and give herself up. Mrs.
Lawrence accompanied the demented
woman to the home, but she said:
mo use going in there, she's dead, l
want to give myself up" She did give
herself up to Marshal Ain, who with
others went to the home and found the
baby dead and lying in its own blood
on the bed. The other three children
had been locked in a bedroom by the
mother and were released.
Coroner Boardman was called by tel
ephone and he left from here shortly
after three o'clock. On reaching there
he found that the mother had been
taken to Glendale and lodged in the
county Jail. The coroner did not think
it necessary to call a jury as the
woman admitted the deed, and there
was all kinds of evidence to sustain her
story. Mr.. Boardman said he found a
grain of strychnine on the child's lip.
The jugular vein was severed, and it
looked as if the child had been dead
when the razor was resorted to.
1t is stated that the woman intended
to put an end to all the children, and
made the threat afterwards that she
would haye succeeded had she been
able to find the revolver. The eldest
is seven years of age. The revolver
was afterwards found in the house.
The funeral of the little one was held
Monday afternoon, Rev. B. G. Jackson
being called to officiate at the funeral.
In his sermon he placed the response
bility on the community that allowed
such condition to exist with full knowl-
edge of it.

PARCELS POST.
Some Features OF New Law to Be in
Effect Jan lst.

Postmasters are being notified through
general orders of the railway mail SER
vice for the tenth division with head
quarters at St. Paul, that shortly be-
fore January lst, 1913. full information
concerning the new parcel post law,
including maps and guides indicating
the parcel post zones. will be supplied
from that office. The new law goes
into effect January lst, and plans for
the service are now being perfected by
the postal authorities.
The circular emphasizes the two fol-
lowing features
l. That distinctive parcel post
stamps must be used on all fourth class
matter beginning January 1st, 1913,
and that such matter bearing ordinary
postage stamps will be treated as
Held for Postage"
2. That all parcels must bear the
return card of sender; otherwise they
will not be accepted for mailing
AHS i0" Ia" p1OVIOeS lIIdL ucIed1 CcI
fourth class mail matter shall embrace
all other matter, including farm and
factory products not embraced in either
the first, second or third class, not ex-
ceeding II pounds in weight norgreater
in size than 72 inches in length and girt
combined and not of character per-
ishable within period reasonably re-
quired for transportation and delivery.
The United States and it's territories,
including Alaska, but excepting the
Philippines, are to be be divided into
eight zones, to be announced later,
varying according to radius from the
point where the package originates for
shipment. The rate on all such parcel
post matter, to more than four ounces
in weight, is to be one cent for each
ounce or fraction thereof, and on mat
ter in excess of four ounces in weight
the rate is to be by the pound, the
postage in all cases to be prepaid by
special stamps.
The benefits of the parcels post are
summed up by a recent newspaper
writer as follows:
Reduces the cost of shipping small
merchandise.
Increases size of parcels which may
be carried.
| Protects the country merchant against
mail order houses.
May force lower express rates.
Permits c. o. D. shipments.
Charges may be prepaid or collected.
Minimum charges for II pounds 15c
Maximum charges for II pounds 81. 32
Minimum charges apply only to ship
ments within city or with rural de-
livery limits.
The zone system protects the country
merchant, inasmuch as the rates are
according to the distance of shipment,
so that the nearby dealer has the ad-
vantage over the far-away city mer-
chants by removing one of the princi-
pal objections heretofore urged to the
parcel post.
Ordinary postage stamps will not be
accepted as payment on parcels, and it
is expected the public, which for gener-
ations has been accustomed to regard
postage stamps as good on any kind of
postal matter, except registered mail,
will frequently use the common post
age stamps.
