Gettysburg Cant
Care For $4,000

PHILADELPHIA, June 15-Get-
tysburg is facing a problem in caring
for the $4,000 Confederate war vet
ans who have asked accommoda-
tions for the anniversary celebration
next month. The 5000 inhabitants of
the village can care for about $4,000.
Food will be available for more, but
the pressure of passenger train serv-
ice will limit the amount Of food
that can be carried into the town.
To provide against a famine the
anniversary commission has arranged
that all supplies be taken in before
the veterans arrive.
DIR. Samuel Dixon, Of the State De-
partment of Health, in charge of sani-
tary arrangements, says there must
be of necessity many cases of illness.
a large number, it is feared. will
suffer from the heat and the excite
ment and strain of travel.
Arrangements have been made with
hospitals in neighborhing cities to
receive cases from the emergency
Hospital to the installed on the field.

TWO YEARS
FOR ROBBING
PARCEL POST
Conviction of William Stokes Is
First Under New Law in the
Atlanta District.

Judge Newman in the United States
District Court sentenced viii Stokes
to serve two years in the Federal
prison for robbing the parcel post.
1t is the first conviction on that
charge in this district since the par
eel post was started, although for
some time many packages have been
stolen from the Terminal Station
Stokes was convicted on one count
of stealing a gray Russian velour hat,
worth $3.50.
On March 16 J. H. Zachery. who
has offices in the Empire Building
took his hat to Daniel Bros. to be
renovated. Daniel Bros. sent the hat
on the day following through the par
eel post to the Trimble Hat COmpa
ny. Orange Valley. n. J.
The hat never was received by the
Trimble Hat Company and United
States postOtflCe inspectors at once
set to work to run down the thief
In this they were accidentally aided
by the Atlanta detectives, who sew
eral months later, after a store had
been robbed in East Atlanta, arrested
VIII Stokes on suspicion.
A search Of Stokes dOmicile re-
vealed stolen property worth about
$500 All the stuff had been stolen
from the parcel post.
Stokes was wearing the missing
hat when arrested. He denied he had
stolen it, saying he purchased it from
a man who came out Of The Constitu-
ton office bareheaded on March ,.
Here Stokes was caught, for the hat
was not shipped until March II.
The jury that heard the evidence
in the case thought it a fair suppo-
sition that if the other articles re
covered were stolen from the parcel
post, it was reasonable to suppose
the hat came into the possession CT
the prisoner in the same manner.
For several months Stokes worked
at the Terminal Station. In the las.
six months twelve sacks of mail have
been stolen. together with innumer-
able articles sent by parcel post from
this station.
