STATE GUARDsMEN IN CAMP
Kansas Army Gathered at Fort Riley
Now.

Junction City, July 23.-AfteI
sundry delays in the way of late
trains, slow transport wagons and
! hunting for locating designated for
the various company streets, the
First and Second regiments Of the
Kansas national guard got them
selves nicely adjusted in their ten
days quarters on the Fort Riley mil
itary reservation yesterday. The
last of the troops arrived about mid
night, and the soldiers either pitch
ed their tents in the moonlight or
slept on the ground. In required
but a short time to bring order out
of chaos in the morning and by
noon all of the 1900 men of the
guard were in camp. with tents up
and everything in readiness for the
encampment.
The camp is laid out on the same
plan as heretofore..a land occupies the
same site, between the old state
house and Fort Riley proper. The
various companies of the two regi-
ments are Quartered in their brown
canvas tents, which are stretched
in long, orderly rows on either side
of the camp streets.
1t is conceded that the encamp-
ment this year will be on smaller
scale, and that the maneuvers will
be minor problems. no special pro-
gram has been prepared. Orders will
be issued from day to day depend
Ing largely on the conditions. Moth
Ing aside from light drilling is ex-
pected during the first few days Of !
the camp. Later on there may be /

Or something like that, although
here is nothing definite. That lies
with the commanding officer and his
Itaff,
Heretofore, when regular troops
rave participated in the maneuvers,

IN officer of the regular army. This
ear the guardsmen are by them
ielves and the only reason they
AVE for knowing that Fort Riley Is

Washington, July 2S.-Concerted
opposition has developed in con-
gress to Postmaster General Burle-
sons order reducing parcel post
rates and increasing the maximum
size of packages to be handled in
the service. The order was Issued
Sunday, to become effective August
Is. and today the senate pastotfice
committee requested Mr. Burleson
70 appear before the committee next
Thursday with an explanation of the
authority for his action.
This was the first step in what
promises to be bitter contest. When
the postmaster general has been
heard, the committee Is expected TO
undertake to have withdrawn be-
fore August IS any authority he
may claim congress has givac him
TO change rates and sizes. 1t was
contended In the committee that the
proposed changes would entail an
enormous loss to the soverrme It
and some OF the members complain
ed that the postoffiee department
had failed to furnish congress with
data concerning the operation of the
parcel post Apparently there was
no difference Of opinion in the COM
mittee ss to whether the postmaster |,
general should change the rates,
Democrats and Republicans agree
ing that only congress ought to have
this power.
The controversy has aroused OK
traordinary interest at the capitol
ana in official circles. since the par
eel post touches more or less d.
rectly nearly everybody in the coun-
Ery.
Those who are supporting the
postmaster general in his stand IN
sist that the only loss imminent un-
Ter the proposed changes would be
to the express companies, which
now carry the profit-making. large
sized packages, while the govern
ment transports the Improbable,
mall ones.
The changes ordered by the post
master general would affect only
he first or second zones. or terri
DRY within q radius of $50 miles Of
ne point Of mailing. The maximum
weight Of parcels would be changed
rom eleven to twenty pounds.

Abandon Rate Map for Individuals
cd Chart and Reduce Rates
In First Two Zones-To
Use Automobiles.

Washington. July 21.--Plans for
the extension, improvement and re-
dHction in rates Of the parcel post
we're announced today by Postmas-
ter General Burleson. The changes,
which are to become effective Aug
ust IL, include an increase from
eleven pounds to twenty pounds In
the maximum weight Of parcels; a
material reduction in the postage
rates in the first and second zones,
and the abandonment of the parcel
post map as q means Of computing
rates and the substitution for 1t Of
a rate chart individualized to every
postoffice in the United States. The
plans contemplate the purchase of
a large number of automobiles to
be used exclusively for the delivery
Of parcel post matter.
While, for the present, the maxi
mum weight limit is twenty pounds
and the reduction in rates will APP
ply only to the first and second
zones, from any given post0ffice--
a distance of about $50 miles-the
change directed today constitutes
the first step towards universal
extension in the system and gen.
eral reduction in the rates Of post
age on parcel matter.
1T 10 my expectation and belief"
said Postmaster General Burleson.
that eventually-and it may be
fifteen tor twenty years-the postal
service will handle practically all
of the small package transportation
business In the United States. The
maximum weight limit, extended
now from eleven to twenty pounds,
] expect to see increased to 100
pounds, and experience may dem
onstrate the practicability Of hand
ling the parcel business at even
lower rates than we now propose"

Disorderly Houses.

Figures compiled saturday by w.
7, Morris secretary to Police Chief
Beavers, show that there have been
less complaints Of dlsorderly houses
IN residence sections Of the city since
the restricted district was closed last
September than before Chief Beavers
famous order was put into effect
The records show that the number
Of cases made since last September Is
Al. During six months in 909 the
number OF such complaints was 81.
The six months in 1909 was during
the time of the agitation for the re-
moval OF the district from underneath
the Washington Street viaduct. The
situation, as affecting residence sec
lions, became SO bad that Captain
Henry Jennings. then Chief OF Police,
brought il to the attention of the Po-
lice Commission in a written state
ment
The showing made by the figures
from the records Beavers says, DEM
onstrates that there is not nearly as
much complaint as before the houses

buster by fusionists in the Tennessee
Legislature started tonight, follow
ing the action Of regular Democrats
to-day in forcing the passage of
amendments to the State election law
giving the regulars control of the en-
tire election machinery Of the State.
To prevent the passage of this cleo

fort to save the State from default

The debt crisis has now been over
come, but as long as to-night's filibus-
ter is maintained all State educational
and charitable institutions will be
without funds for necessary running
expenses, appropriation bills, aggre-
eating s2,500,000 being tied up.
The regulars passed the election
bill by force to-day when Speaker
Stanton, Of the House, ordered the
doors locked and placed thirteen as
sistant sergeants- at arms on guard
to prevent the fusionists from leav-
ing the hall and breaking a quorum.
1t was called up Immediately after a
refunding act had been finally rati-
fed and sent to the Governor for his
signature. He approved the bond
bill later in the day.
The fusionists returned for the aft
ernoon session, when the apprOpria-
tons bill failed of passage by one
FTFN 4. II
until tonight to again try to pass
this measure, expecting the fusionists
to be present. However, they re-
manned absent and promise to stay
away while anti-fusion measures are
pending.

he has forced even tho enemies OF

public that he is the agent in the
hands of Almighty God to rid Atlanta
Of this great evil, and He has blessed

The recommendation OF Chief Beav-

by Little Rock, and the work OF the
female officers is such that they alone
can accomplish the ends desired

those who meet either by chance or

Hundreds Of cities in the United

friends in the early spring one said
Mr.. Rockefeller, why don't you buy
about 400 sheep and let them feed on
your lawn and in that way you would
save the cost of cutting the grass,
and, besides, the sheep would keep
in condition always?"
How much would they cost" he
asked. The friend replied about Sc

The oil king started figuring the
cost of his big motor lawn mowers
and the cost of the sheep, and found
out that his friends suggestion was
an economical one, so he placed an
order for the sheep.
