Washington, D. q. Nov. is
Utility and beauty com bined will
mark the new letter boxes which
Postmaster General Burleson
just has ordered for use in cities
when the demand arises.
The Postmaster General to-
day ordered 10000 boxes which
are self-emptying and so con-
structed as to economic the
time in the collection of mail.
Mr.. Burleson, in casting about
for some method of speeding up
the collections, discovered the
hand-picklng method of extract
ing letters from the boxes was
costly.
1.-The principal features of the
boxes" he explained, "is the fa-
cility with which they can be
emptied by mail collectors,
which is accomplished through
curved slides and drop-bottOm
attachments into the open mail
bag held underneath. One mod.

especially adapted for collectors
using automobiles"
The new boxes will not be at.
tached to the sides of posts, as
is the case with the present box
es, but will be placed on orna-
mental pedestals.

New Sharon Fair Successful.

Special to Times Republican.
New Sharon. Sept 19.-The New
Sharon fair opened Tuesday morning
with bad weather prospects. but at
noon Wednesday the sky had cleared
enough to bring about $500 attend
ants Yesterday the weather was fine
and over 5000 people passed thru the
gates.
The baseball game between the fast
New Sharon Tigers and the 'Oskaloosa
Giants resulted in a walk-away for the
Tigers, the local boys winning by q
score of 10 to o.
Owing to tho dry season there was
not an average showing in the exhibit
buildings. but everything considered
the showing OF corn from this vicinity
was excellent. The fair Was continued
to include today. Two ha1lcon escen-
sions were made by Mr.. Coffey. OF Des

days.
This fact is learned on high author-
ity and it is regarded here as indicat-
ing that General Huerta INTENDS to
abide by the pact signed at the Amer
lean embassy last February to place no
obstacle in the path of General Diaz
in his candidacy for the presidency.
1t is considered possible that General
Huerta will throw his influence to
Diaz, which practically would insure
his election.
The partisans of Diaz have not
ceased to labor in his behalf and as
sert that they have organized up
wards of 5000 clubs" thruout the re-
public. Up to the present General Dlaz
is the only candidate in the field.
The Catholic party, which is the only
big organization likely to put forwai d
candidate in opposition. held con-
vention several weeks ago and ad-
journed without naming candidate.
The leaders of that party have called
another convention for5next Sunday. II
is no secret that they favor Huerta and
in the previous convention they de-
cided to support the president should
he decide to become a candidate. Gem
eral Huerta, however, has given no in
timatfon of such intention.

DIAz CAN'T BRING PEACE
Washington Sees Future Complications
In Mexico If His Election to Presi-
denoy is Accomplished = Was Con-
sprator in Plot Against Madero.

Washington. Sept. 1s.-News that
Gen Felix Diaz, nephew of Porferio
Diaz, has been recalled tn Mexico to
! become the candidate of the Huerta
faction in the coming presidential elec-
tion aroused much interest here in Of
fetal circles.
The general feeling was that the re-
turn of DiaZ meant a compliance with
President Wilson's principal demand
that General Huerta should not be a
candidate. So far as auguring an era
Of peace. however, the outlook was de-
scribed as discouraging. While the
American government is on r;l,ord
with a promise to extend recognition
of the government set up by legal
and free election, 1t is said TO be prac-
tically certain that the United States
would not hasten to recognize Diaz If
he were elected. but would wait in ac-
cord with the precedent Of President
Hayes administration to determine
whether the resulting government was
strong enough to maintain peace and
guarantee internal obligations.
The policy of strict neutrality with
respect to the importation Of arms
from this country, however, will be
continued until recognition Is actual
ly extended.
That the constitutionalists regard
Diaz as being Jointly responsible with
Huerta for Madero's downfall it is
thought will mean a sharpening OF the
contest between the warning factions.
Just what course the United States
will pursue in the coming election has
not been definitely decided.

Argues For Fair Hearing.

"This case," said Judge Herrick, "in
some respects is the greatest since the
impeachment trial Of President John
son. 1t has aroused the country. There
can be no questions that the senators
on the Frawley committee have formed
and expressed opinions on every article
Of Impeachment"
Judge Herrick then read the articles
Of Impeachment. declaring that the de-
fense's challenge is founded on "the
right to seek trial by an impartial
tribunal-one that Is not prejudiced in
advance" He cited court opinions
bearing on the absolute necessity of
all Judges haing nncnntaminated bv

At the completion Of his argument
he formally challenged the right Of the
four senators to sit.

Then Judge Alton B. Parker arose
and began to speak without notes.

Judge Parker declared that the state
constitution made no provision for
Judge. senator or counsel to challenge
any member Of the high court.
Citing precedents established in the

Andrew Johnson and other executive
and judicial officers he argued that the

PRINCESS ENDS LIFE.

Heidelberg, Germany, Sept. 19.-
Princess Sophia Of Sake W eimar- Els
enach, a beautiful young woman. OF
sunny disposition and much courted by
the officers with whom che often rode
behind the hounds at Baden court
committed suicide Wednesday night
Her body, with a bullet wound In the
temple. was found in her room In the
palace Of her father, Prince William.
The death Of the princess was due to
love affair. She was engaged to
Hans Won Bleichroeder, the eldest son
of the senior member Of one Of the
most powerful banking houses in Ger
many. When teh engagement was
announced prematurely some months
ago, it was learned that the reignins
grand duke. Prince William Ernest
strenuously prohibited the union un-
less the princess renounced all her
titles and dignities. This she refused
to do.
AS head of the family, the grand
duke objected to the union OF the prln-
cess with man who occupied an In
ferior station in life. Her father, II
was said, was inclined to accede to his
daughters wishes, but was unable 10
take an independent stand. owing to
hnanc:a, relations with the grand duke
While the princess had been pre-
vented from marrying Won Bleichroe-
der. they had often been seen together
at Heidelberg since the engagement:
was announced.
It is not known whether the pair
had resigned themselves to the decision
Of the grand duke, but Won Bleich-
roeder, it is reported, started fot
Heidelberg Wednesday. No statement
of any kind relative to the tragedy has
been given out and official confirma-
ton Of the suicide could not be OBJ
tained from Prince Williams palace
But the townspeople have accepted the
suicide version and the pathetic fea-
lures of the affairs have caused deep
sorrow.
According to one Of the palace en-
ployes the princess killed herself about
o'clock in the morning. and maid
entering her apartments soon after
ward. came upon her dead body.
A brother. Prince Hermann, resigned
from the Prussian army several years
ago. He settled in London and mar
ried an Italian actress. Compelled tc
renounce his title he took the name OF

MEETS DEATH ON TRACKS.
Young Farm Hand Killed at North
wood During NIGHT.

Northwood. Sept. 1o.-Olaf Arneson,
q young man aged about 20. was run
over and killed by a Rock Island
freight train in the local yards about
2 o'clock a. m.
From clothing found at the Main
street crossing it is believed that Ar
neson was struck at that point altho
the body was found near the first
switch north OF the crossing. One limb
was found several feet away on the
main track and 1t Is thought the mem :
ber was severed when the train first
struck the young man. The body was
quite badly mutilated.
Arneson was seen in town as late
as 12 o'clock at the dance and was
later seen at the fair ground. He was
uartially under the influence OF liquor
but 1t is said not enough so at that
time to have caused him to go to sleep
on the track. The young man worked
for Carl G.. Olson, east OF town, and
II may be that he had started to walk
home.
