Post Office Notes

The great influx of Easter cards and other holi lay mail flooded the Putnam post office and it was not until Mon- day afternoon that the regular routine of the office had been reestablished and She rush work cleaned up. Saturday morning some of the carriers could not finish their trips and did not get in until o'clock.
 Postmaster Letters said Monday that the parcel post business is growing by leaps and bounds and that the increase during this month will probably be 30 per cent over what the business was in January.

WRONG MAN KILLED,
Police Open Fire in Darkness Through
Mistaken Identity.

Newark. July 4-William Butler. OF
Kenvil. was shot and killed today at
Dover by police officers who mistook him
for William Corduan. husband of the
woman who was murdered Tuesday night
at her home in Newark.
Corduan was arrested shortly after, near
the scene of the shooting. The police
theory is that he killed his wife by forcing
a sharp rat-tail file through the roof of
her mouth into her brain. he woman's
husband disappeared after the murder
and the police learned that he had gone to
the house of friend near the Dover rail-
road track The story is that as they
waited outside this house this morning
they saw a man who in the darkness
loked like Corduan. They called to him
to surrender. but instead of doing SO. he
whipped out pistol and began firing
Chief Ebert fired three shots at the man,
vino fell dead.

THE CITY BUDGETS.
They Will Be Ready in a Few
Days.

Within the next few days the
budgets of the commissioners of
parks and sanitation, waterworks and
street lighting, and commissioner of
finance and rev enue, as well as that
of Mayor Cofran, are expected to be
filed. And then the whiting will
begin.
Commissioner Tandy's budget is
the only one in so far. He has asked
for $4,000 less than was allowed last
year. Other commissioners are max
ing desperate effort to decrease their
budgets. Commissioner Bone declares
his budget will be much the same as
last year. Commissioners Porter and
Newland, having special improvements
in view, may ask for a little more
than last year.
The purchase of new fire apparatus
is expected to sN ell the budget of the
mayor, in whose department are the
police and fire departments. But the
budget has not been finished. The
police budget will call for no addi-
tional money.
All of the budgets will be in by the
last of this week if possible, and the
commission may spend considerable
time next week in fighting out the
trimming.

GUARDS DlSARMED
POpe'S Swiss Soldiers Had Con-
cealed Cartridges.
Denial of Demands Read With
Revolvers Ready.

Rome. July IA further detach-
ment of the mutinous Swiss guards
left the vatican today. Some of them
threatened to make unpleasant reve-
lations- The commander of the
guardsmen promised the pope that
the entire corps would be re-estab-
Iished within few weeks with new
and more suitable men.
Throughout the day the vatican was
in a Nerita bic stata=of siege. This was
the outcome of the mutiny of the
Swiss guards, whose demands in
the from of a memorial relating
the conditions on which they would
remain in the service were fatty re-
jected.
Three leaders in the movement were
expelled from the vatican. Four
others left and twelve have requested
leave to depart for their homes in
October.
Those who left were accompanied
to the gates of the vatican by their
comrades. At the moment of sep
aration they cried:
Viva Garibaldi.'
Had Concealed Cartridges.
Some of them Joined in singing the
scene presented in front of the
vatican.
Yesterday the guards We're relieved
of their cartridges and today even
their rifles were taken from them as
it was discovered that they had sue
ceeded in concealing cartridges.
Count Coccopieri, commander of
the gendarmes, has been ordered to
hold his men in readiness for emery
encies. They were in control of all
exits and were instructed to prevent
any of the guards from leaving the
building without express permission,
or from communicating with those
outside. The entire neighborhood is
patroled by strong forces of police
Serious trouble was expected when
the guards were notified that all their
claims had been rejected and it had
been arranged that any of the guards
attempting a demonstration should be
arrested by the papaI gendarmes and
turned over to the Italian police for
transportation to the Swiss frontier
When the reply to their memorial was
read the commander and other off
GERS armed with revolvers stood
ready to suppress any show of force.
A letter also was read from Cardi-
nal Merry del Val, the papal secre-
tary of state, strongly condemning the
attitude of the guards. This was the
last straw, as the guards had hoped
that the cardinal would favor their
side. They decided to maintain a rel
atively calm attitude, wishing as they
themselves expressed it, Ito obtain
their rights through persuasion.

washington, July Z4.-Protect and
encourage the meadow lark. for its
principal diet consists of cotton boil
and alfalfa weevils, grasshoppers and
predaceous ground beetles, advises the
department OF agriculture. While the
bird it is acknowledged, does some
damage to sprouting grain, its value as
a destroyer of injurious insects is
shown to be far greater.
Furthermore, the department calls
attention to the fact that the birds go
most vigorously for the insects which
are most abundant, thereby increasing
their efficiency at the time Of an in
sect outbreak.
