WOULD SEND BABY BY MAIL
Woman, Who Wants Child to Rear,
Having None of Own, Seeks to Use
Parcel Post for Novel Purpose.

Washington, D. C.-The mailing
Of babies by parcel post is real in
FAINT industry which Postmaster Gen.
eral Hitchcock is asked to foster.
To add to his embarrassment the
letter contains note of genuine pa
thos which appeals strongly to the
postmaster general.
The name signed to the letter is
withheld at the request of Mr., Hitch
cock.
AS babies, in the opinion Of the
postmaster general, do not fall within
the category of bees and bugs-the
only live things that may be trans
ported by mail-he is apprehensiye
that he may not be of assistance to
his correspondent.

Got Third Of Sale Price.

Washington-William w. WINFIELD
Of Chicago, formerly employed by the
Standard Oil company as a messen-
ger, told the senate campaign fund in
vestigating committee how he and an
other employe named Stump took two
letters from the desk of John d. Arch
bold of the Standard Oil company and
disposed Of them for $1,000 each. He
also told of selling copy of tele-
gram for $1,000 and lending two copy
books of letters for which $500 was
paid OF the amounts received Wink
field said he received one-third.
WINFIELD could not recall the con
tents of the two letters or the tele-
gram, to whom they were addressed
or the signatures attached. He said
that the letters were taken in the fall
Of 1904 and published by the New
York American. He did not know
what letters had been taken from the
copy books.
WINFIELD testified that in 1904 he
was employed by the Standard Oil
company in New York, as a messen-
ger, and Stump, he said was EN-.
ployed as a file clerk WINFIELD said
that in the autumn of 1904, after read
ing in the New York American re-
garding certain kilograms sent to
some one in Washington, he spoke to
Stump and another office boy named
Frank Morrill,, employed in Archbold's
office.
Morrill, said he knew Of telegram
and he said he would let us see it,"
said WINFIELD. "a couple of days
later he showed it to us. l made a
copy of it and put it in the hands Of
Stump and he disposed Of it, 1t came
out in the paper on holiday"
WINFIELD said he did not remember
what the telegram said and did not
remember to whom it was addressed
or whose signature was attached to it,
He then testified as follows:
81 had nothing more to do with this
until four months later. l went back
to the office for my keys and found
Stump there-at Mr.. Archbold's desk.
He told me that the paper told him to
get everything he could get his hands
on. Stump was at Mr. Archbold's
desk and had possession Of some Of
Mr.. Archbold's letters. told him that
he was going further than l knew
anything about. He said: You keep
quiet and Wen fix you up He was
doing business with his brother-in-law
then. He got the letters and saw
the two he got and read them"

These two letters were the only
things taken that day, according to
WINFIELD.

ELECT P0INCAIRE
ON SECOND VOTE
FORMER PREMIER is CHOSEN
RULER or THE REPUBLIC
OF FRANCE.
RUMORED He IS TO FIGHT
M. clemenceau Said to Have Sent
Him challenge-Report Is IN
confirmed-TumuIt Marks
Proceedings.

Paris, France.-M. Raymond Poin-
care, Premier, was elected ninth presi-
dent Of the third Republic of France,
to succeed President Armand Fal
Heres.
Poincare was chosen on the second
ballot, amid scenes of the widest con-
fusion, after he had challenged to a
duel M. Georges Clemenceau, a former
Premier, and after a second duel chal-
lenge had been sent by Deputy Maj.
zie, Poincare supporter, to former
Minister Boncour, an adherent of NJ.
Jules Pans. secretary Of agriculture.
Poineare, 483; PANS, 296; valiant
(socialist), So. There were several
scattering votes and some not voting.
The total vote of the assembly was
S7S. Necessary for choice. 437.
There was an unconfrmed rumor in
the Versailles Hobbies that Georges
Clemenceau, formerly premier, and
one of the hackers of Alexandra Ribot
for president, had sent challenging
letter to Premier Poincare, and that
the latter had named his seconds.
There was tremendous excitement at
the prospect of a duel, but none of
those interested would discuss the
question.
Excelsior said editorially that M.
BRAND, minister of justice, and M.
Klotz, minister of finance, had de-
manded of Clemenceau an explana-
ton Of his letter to Poincare, and the
prospects Of duel depend on Gle
menceau's reply.
1t was evident from the start that
the presidential election, no matter
what the result, seemed likely to en-
tail difficulties. Before the Poincare-
Clemenceau rumor was circulated
Deputy Monsie sent his seconds to
former Minister Paul Boncour with
challenge to fight. The incident fol
lowed a violent discussion between
Monsie and Boncour on the floor of
the assembly hall
The president of France is selected
for term of seven years. He is eligi-
BILE for one reelection, but it virtually
is unwritten law that president shall
not succeed himself.
About all he is called upon to do is
to live in fine palace, to entertain
and be entertained. He appoints the
premier, who really is the executive
head of the government. The premier
selects his own cabinet
1t was apparent from the temper of
the crowd at Versailles and on the
boulevard that the demand for Poin-
cares election was growing, and the
firm refusal of the premier to with
draw from the race in the face of the
enemy added fuel to the fame of his
public favor.
Crowds on the boulevards in the
early morning hours were singing;
"Poincare Poincare! Poincare!" In
rhyme and some of the shouters were
using the language Of the football
game, words to the effect that the
premier should buck the center" at
the critical stage Of the game.

fair dealing and conservative business.
1t was half an hour before the stock
exchange opened, but the dingy little
Office was packed with an excited
crowd Of customers.
The doctor followed old Dugro, the
head of the firm, into his private Office
and asked his advice. He got it-sharp.

But I've some information 1 think

luck"
The doctor drew his check for $4,000
and smilingly took his place among the
crowd before the board.
The ticker would tell the story in the
first hour. If stocks should sell of
three points before noon, he would
know. He determined to put this to
the test first. He would not sell the
market short. He would be content
with the big jump the market would
make upward when it started.
AS the noon hour drew near the doc

hammer. Bivens' program had been
carried out to the letter. Stocks had de-
cfined for the first hour a point, and in
the second hour suddenly smashed
