IN SANITARIUM
Man Whose Opposition Caused
Fred Wallis to Quit
Race.

New York. Jan. 11.-Congres.-
man-elect Timothy d. Sullivan. long
a prominent figure in New York poll
tics. is by a court order to be form
ally committed to 8 private santa
rum.
For some time he has been q vol
untary patient. but it is said the
trouble from which he is suffering
has led his relatives TO seek per-
1epeht arrangement for his physi-
cal RESTRAINT in the sanitarium.
The action will probably involve a
special election for a Congressman to
succeed Sullivan in the Thirteenth
district.
When Chief Justice Hughes was
Governor of New York, he sent the
name of Fred'k A. Wallis to the
State Senate for confirmation as
State Commissioner of Insurance.
Mr.. Sullivan was one of the men who
we're fighting Gov. Hughes and he
opposed the confirmation of Mr..
Wallis. Realizing that he was up to
a political fight, Mr.. Wallis prevail
ed on Gov. Hughes to withdraw bis
nomination. After Mr.. Wallis was
out of the race, Senator Sullivan ex.
pressed his regret at opposing him
and said if it was to be done over
again he would be for him.

PARCELS POST.
Say Express Men, is Not Cut
ting Business
Much.

To the question as to how the par.
cells post is getting along at the Hop
kinsville postoffice Tuesday morning.
came the direct answer, Getting
along all right " The answer is sus-
ceptible of two interpretations: One
Is that the business IS to volume is
satisfactory and incrs asing; tn e
other. not much business. and we
clerks are not worked to death. OF
course the first. is the correct one.
The clerical force at the postoffice
is always busy lot # people al d
keep their work well up. though the
recent beginning of the new system
Of the department entails more work
on the clerks.
The officials Of the express COM
panies in Louisville met Monday. and
after feeling their ground carefully,
told the Louisville Board of Trade
that the parcels post system had re-
duced the handling of smaller pack
ages le's than 6 per cent while at
the same time the earnings Of the
companies in Louisville had increased
10 per cent.
There is one advantage the ex-
press companies have over the par
GELS post system; Packages that
are barred from the mails on account
of being too heavy have TO be sent
by express. and then the express
comp MES have the chance. if they
so choose, to pile on charges ad libi
tum.
