GIVES UNCLE SAM MONOPOLY
Some Opinions of Law Covering the
Parcels Post.

Washington, March 27.-An interpre-
tation of law, which, IL sustained.
would take away from the express
companies of the country all of their
business ia packages weighing less
than eleven pounds, is puzzling Post
master General Burleson and legal
sharps of the department.
Some interpreters Of the parcel post
law. constituting that statute In nnec
ton with the postal clause OF the Con-
stitution, maintain that IL has an eff
feet Of giving the government an alb
solute monopoly of the handling of
parcels within the limits and size set
by the law.
Under the Constitution and the ac-
cumulated statutes and decisions of
the courts, il is unlawful for any pri-
vate individual or concern to compete
with the government in handling mail
matter. This law, those who have
raised the question claim, automatical-
ly covers all activities of the postof-
fee department, and therefore would

RAILROADS HEAVY LOSERS
Flood Will Cause Financial Damage Of
Many Millions.

New York, March 27.-Conservative
estimates OF the damage to railroad
property in the flooded Middle West,
plus tine ioss entaiied by the saspss
sion of traffic, range from $40, 200, 900
to $4,000, 900, and it is conceded that
these figures may be exceeded by sew
eral millions. This was the opinion
OF railroad men as expressed here.
Never In the history OF the United
States has there been such a complete
tieup of railroad traffic as now exists
in Ohio and Indiana. The Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern, trayersing the
northern district. and the Erie rail-
road were unable to u through
trains and Erie officials predicted it
would be at least fifty hours before
service could be re-established. The
Erie tracks between Chicago and Sala-
manica are out of business and fifteen
passenger trains are stalled between
those two points.

WILSON APPEALS TO

Asks for Contributions for Flood

Washington. March 27.-President
Wilson has issued the following APP.
peal to the nation to help the suffer
ers In the Ohio and Indiana floods:
The terrible foods in Ohio and In
diana have assumed the proportions
Of a national calamity. The loss OF
life and the infinite suffering involved
prompt me to issue an earnest appeal
to all who are able, In however small
q way. to assist the labors of the
American Red Cross to send contribu-
tons at nee to the Red Cross at
Washington or to the local treasurers
Of the society. We should make this
a common cause. The needs of those
upon whom this sudden and over
whelming disaster has come should
quicken every one capable of SYM
patty and compassion to give imme-
date aid to those who are laboring to
rescue and relieve"

NEVADA TO USE RIFLES
FOR KILLING MURDERERS.
Victims In Steel Cage Face Guns With
Maxim Silencers.

The authorities of the Nevada state
prison practically have completed ar
rangements for the first legal shooting
or murderers under the new law pro-
vidlng for the choice between that and
hanging by the condemned men. Two
such recently chose that mode. a third.
Nimrod Uric, selected hanging. Three
Maxim silencers, three rifles and a
steel cage have settled the question
Of how to execute the two murderers
who chose shooting.
The equipment which, unless the
board of pardons of the supreme court
int~erferes, will end the life OF j. Frank
Trammer and Andrew Mircovic on
March Z has been received at the
prison. The condemned men will sit
inside a steel framework on which will
be trained three rifles to which have
been attached the Maxim silencers.
The rifles will be aimed directly at the
hearts Of the victims. Nothing will
be visible but the muzzles Of the guns,
and the legal witnesses who will watch
the execution will not know when the
death dealing volley Is to be fred.
