Messa|onskee Claims Life
OF Young Antonio Hart.
Too Much Confidence, Walked
Beyond Depth, Tues. Evening.
His chum Attempts to Save Him..
Mother Is Frustrated.

The Messalonskee claimed it's third
victim of the season, early Tuesday
evening, when Antonio Hart, the 10
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Hart of 19S Water street, got beyond
his depth while swimming with com
panion below the Silver street bridge
and drowned before aid could reach
him.
With his ehum, Ralph Neterner, the
Hart boy left his home, shortly be1ore
O'clock, telling his mother he was
going swimming, as he had been in
the habit of doing for the past few
days. Although he could not swim,
he had been learning and gaining too
much confidence ventured too deep.
When cries for help reached his ears,
Netefuer. who was swimming with
Hart, went to his assistance. but in
his struggle for life. the Hart lad got
his friend in deatll-like grasp and he
barely escaped similar fate
After = struggle with the drowning
boy. the Veterner lad climbed ashore
ehausted. The cries for help of Vteer-
ner brought many to the scene and at
tempts were naade to recover the body,
which had sunk for the third time.
Several Young men were diving for
the body. but the bottom was muddy
and full of stumps and all efforts prov
ed futile.
In the mea ntime, the police had been
notified and Deputy Marshal Simpson
and Coroner :. l.. Berry hurried to the
scene. A systematic search WAS then
begun for the body. Rakes. graphing
irons and everything else available
was pressed into use. hut UP until 10
O'clock. all attempts to recover the
body was failures. Young Hart was
employed as roller cleaner in the
lockwood mills. His mother was pros
tfated with grief when she learned of
the accident and neighbors remained
at the home the greater part of the
night trying to quiet her.

To Make a Deficit?

Washington, July 22.-Concerted op-
position has developed in Congress to
Postmaster General Burlesons order
reducing parcel post rates and in
creasing the maximum size of pack
ages to be handled in the service. The
order was issued, Sunday, to become
effective. Aug. 10, and, today. the SEN
ate post office committee requested Mr..
Burleson to appear before the COM
mittee, next Thursday, with an expla-
nation of the authority for his action.
This was the first step in what prom
Uses to he bitter contest.
If the postmaster general has beeen
heard the committee is expected to
undertake to have withdrawn before,
Aug. Is, any authority he may claim
Congress has given him to change
rates and sizes. 1t was contended in
the committee that the proposed
changes would entail an enormous
loss to the government and some of
the members complained strenuously
that the postoffice department mad
failed to furnish Congress with data
concerning the operation of the par
GELS post. Apparently there was no
difference of opinion in the committee
as to whether the postmaster general
should change. the rates, Democrats
and Republicans agreeing that only
Congress ought to have this power.
The controversy has aroused extra
ordinary interest at the capital and in
official circles since the parcels post
touches more or less directly nearly
everybody in the country
Those who are supporting the post
master general in his stand insist that
the only loss imminent under the pro-
posed changes would be to the eS-
press companies which now carry the
profit-making large size packages
while the government transports the
Improbable small ones.
The changes ordered by the post
master general would affect only the
first and second zones, or territory
within a radius of $50 miles of the
point of mailing. The maximum
weight of parcels would be changed
from II to 20 pounds.

Delightful Lawn Party Held on the
Methodist Church Lawn,

Postmaster G. Dexter Libby who
has for the past 13 years given the
residents of Gardiner most efficient
service, is to retire, within the next
few days. in favor of the Democratic
appointee w. r. Frost. Probably no
other man who has filled this position
has seen more changes in the service
than has Mr.. Libby. $50 .z-..s
. The first change came in the same
month in which he assumed the du-
ties. June, 1900, when the first rural
carrier was put on. This service has
increased so that there are now seven
rural carriers. who cover total of
40 miles each week day. Four months
later, three city carriers were assign
ed to Gardiner and now there are FIVE.
The postal savings banks in Gardi-
ner was started, July. 1911, and at the
commencement of the current year
parcel post service was commenced.
The first of August will bring a
change, reducing the rates and in
creasing the weight of mailable pack
ages. and probably an increase in bus
mess.
The agitation for new postofIice
building in Gardiner was begun, near
by. with the assistance of Senator
Burleigh, has been most active. The
property bounded by Mechanic,
Brunswick and Water streets, inelud-
ing the Perry building, mas been pur-
chased for this purpose and it is ex-
pected that work will be begun. next
year. 1t is to be regretted that Mr..
Libby could not be, the first postmas
ter to occupy the new building.
All the postal business has increased
greatly and new employees added. On
Mr.. Libby's retirement but one of the
employees who was in the service at
the time of his coming. but one re-
mains. Arthur II. Landers. assistant

Mr.. Libby has served the public
well and faithfully, and his successor
Mr.. Frost says: Il hope when l leave
the office, everybody will speak as
well of me as they do of Mr.. Libby"
and no better wish can be extended to
the incoming postmaster than to join
Mr.. Frost in that wish.
