ace and other prominent Denver hos
telries have as their guests, postmas-
tiers from all over the country who
are assembled here for the ANIMAL
convention Of the National Associa-
ton of Postmasters of the First Glass,
which opened in this city today.
1sador Sobel, Of Erie, Pa, president
of the association, said that from
present indications, this convention
promises to be one of the largest and
most interesting yet held by the post
masters.
The convention will continue for
three days, closing Thursday evening.
Many details Of pressing interest are
arranged for discussion in the con-
yention meetings. The parcels post
system will furnish one topic on
which the postmasters' will be given
ample opportunity to air their views,
and the present ranking system en-
joyed by Congress and the various
government departments will also
furnish food for many speeches. In
the various state conventions of post
masters, this franking system has
come In for great deal of harsh
criticism. The postmasters are al
most unanimously in favor of it's re.
duction, as they say the annual de-
ficit in the postal department is d.
rectly due to the free use of the mails
by Representatives, Senators, officials
of the various Departments and other
government officials, who send tons
of matter through the mails from
which the postal department. gets alb
solutely no revenue.
The large amount of parcels post
business has led to serious situations
In various individual postoffices
throughout the country and many
plans for more efficient method OF
handling this increased business will
be discussed. The rural free delivery
! and its relation to the parcel post is
another important topic which will
come up for consideration at the
present convention. The people in the
rural district are making large use OF
the parcels post, and in many cases
the rural delivery system is confront
ed with many obstacles in handling
the large number of parcels to be de-
liycred on the rural routes. At some
points the present force is inadequate
to take care Of the large volume Of
business.
Several entertainments of a social
nature and side trips to interesting
points around the city have been ar
ranged for the postmasters.

UNKNOWN VERMONT"
Claims Railroads Not Doing Their Part
in Discovering II.

Burlington. Dec. 20.-"Vermont rail.
roads have got to wake up and serve
the interests of the people of this state,
declared Charles w. Wheeler of New
York last evening, cor there will come
day of reckoning when the people will
call them to account for their steward
ship"
Mr.. Wheeler, the New England repre-.
native of Vermont, and is deeply inter
ested in developing the state as a SUM
mer resort. Trained to see things in a
large way, he is alive to the possible
ties of the Green mountains and the
Champlain and Connecticut valleys as a
Mecca for the stream of vacation travel,
and he wants to see this section get its
share of the vast throng of tourists
which pours out of New York City every
summer, to the number of nearly S00,-
600.
Most of these vacation seekers, he
finds, go to New England chiefly to
Maine and New Hampshire. The New
York, New Haven & Hartford and the
Boston & Maine railroads exert them
selves to increase their tourist business
and develop summer resorts in the ter
ritory they feed--these two states on
the east of Vermont.
"But here in Vermont he pointed
out, "you have summer country as de-
lightful and as attractive as any in the
United States-yet it is almost un-
known. The ignorance in New York as
to the state of Vermont is simply amaz-
ing.
"Your railroads are doing little or
nothing to make known the Vermont
land. Yet there is your secretary OF
state, Mr.. Bailey, performing work for
the good of the state which is not ap-
preciated by your people, nor properly
backed up by your railroads. He has
prepared an admirable book, but his
work for greater publicity is done large
ly without the support he deserves"

EQUIPPED LIKE ARSENAL.
House Where Detectives Arrested Al
legged Counterfeiters.

Montreal, Dec. 20-By a raid on a
shack in the woods five miles from the
village of Lavaltrie yesterday the po-
lice discovered what is believed to be
the source of one of the most important
counterfeiting schemes. Five men were
arrested in the house when the plant
was located and a sixth was made a
prisoner in Montreal. The prisoners are
Bartholomew Caron, Frederick Eaton.
Eduard Parisean, Philip Bousquet and
Eugene Gagne. The man arrested here
is Alfred Grenley, an engraver in the
employ of the Herald Publishing com
pany.
The police claim to have seized a
most elaborate counterfeiting plant, in
cluding a printing press, plates, especial
ly prepared paper and everything nee
essary for the counterfeiting of Unit
ed States $40 gold certificates.
Chief Detective X. p MeCaskill said
last night that the farm house where
the gang operated was equipped like
an arsenal 1t was before dawn when
the police reached the house. They
smashed down the door and were upon
the counterfeiters almost before one of
them could make a move to get out of
bed The paraphernalia was taken,
with the prisoners to toilette.

HOLIDAY JOY AT posToFFIcE.
1t Consists in Handling Great Volume of
Work.

Every substitute connected with the
official staff of the Barre postoifice will
be drafted to help care for the holiday
mail. Already two of the substitute
carriers and one of the assistant clerks
are working. Besides, the growth in the
parcel post business had made the re-
tention of a team imperative and one of
the carriers is now deyoting his whole
time to transporting parcels. Attaches
at the postoffice to-day were confident
that the outgoing and incoming mail
matter would be handled smoothly dur
ing the next four days. As early as
last week parcels for foreign points be-
gan to come in, but not until yesterday
did the domestic parcels appear in bulk.
Both in the postoffice department and
in the express office there is an impress
sion that Christmas giyers viii post
pone their mailings until the danger OF
congestion will become imminent.
Thus far, no additional men or extra
teams have been pressed into service
by the American Express company IN
Barre, but the local officials are doing
everything possible within their power
to hasten the shipments and to deliver
consignments. Next week it may be
necessary to use another team, as was
the custom before the parcel post was
established Tonight the local office
will be opened for short time, prob
ably from to s o'clock. This will be
done to accommodate the shippers and
for no other reason. Also, it has been
decided to make delivery Sunday fore
noon In this way, the coast will be
clear Monday for prompt deliveries on
all incoming packages.

SooTHES WILSON'S FEELINGS.
Taft Explains the Reason of the Cara
bao Philippine Songs.

New York, Dec 20.--A compliment
tary dinner to W. Cameron Forbes, for
mer governor general of the Philippine
islands, was given last nigh by the Phil
ippine society and the Harmony club of
America. Among the four hundred din
ers We're many prominent men and
women including Mr.. and Mrs William
ii. Taft, Judge and Mrs. Almet +.
jerks, Willard Straight, Charles D.
IIilles, Hamilton Holt and George w.
Wickersham.
Ex-president Taft was the prinei-
pal speaker. His address dealt with the
problems confronting the American gov
eminent in the Philippines. He said
that it had been demonstrated that the
Filipino people were goyernable, but
that so far there had been little promise
that the educated and wealthy class
would further the interest of the great
body of Filipinos The speaker pre-
dicted that withdrawal of the American
government would at present mean
nothing more than re-occupation of the
islands in the interest Of peace.
Mr.. Forbes spoke on the economic
condition of the Filipinos and sketehed
briefly, what improvement had been
made in the islands under the American
regime. He said that he was in favor
of seeing the Philippines retained until
the American principle of government
was better understood by the natives
Former President Taft, who acted as
toastmaster, said: II have only a few
things to say tonight. and one of them
is the attitude of the army which has
awakened some interest recently. You
can perhaps understand how the army
felt when they first went down to the
Philippines. During the day the Fill
pino walters bowed and scraped, and at
night they went into the bushes and
fired into the officers houses, hoping to
bring one of them down. Such actions,
of course, did not tend to make our
army want to get into close association
with the Filipinos, and perhaps that
was responsible for the song that was
sung, perhaps everywhere, concerning
the Filipino. The title was: He may
be brother of William II. Taft, but
he aint no brother of mine
Il am only going over this question
with the idea of helping the present ad
| see that the Carabao
dinner has caused some discussion, and
perhaps out of sense of proportion. Now
| have been to the Carabao dinners
twice and it is quite true that some of
the songs they sing regarding the Fill
ipinos are not of character quite fitted
to soothe, but they are sung in the
same way a court sometimes makes an
entry, nunc pro tune. They are of the
time when the army was down there
and doing business, and they are not to
be construed as present attitude of the
army towards the Filipino, and want
to advise the administration that they
are only reyiving the feeling that ex
isted when the army was there, and
which was then more opportune. But
things have changed, and am sure that
the song or songs do not reflect the
present attitude"

LAST OF HIS GANG.
Michael Sage, Advanced in Years, Sent
to Prison.

Chicago, Dec. 20.--The last survivor
of Chicago's first fully organized band
of criminals who fiourished a generation
ago under the picturesque Mollie Mott
passed from the stage yesterday. Mi
chael Sage, white of hair and showing
every one of his 90 years, made no de-
fense against a sentence of one year III
the Chicago house OF correction. His ac-
tive days are over, in the opinion OF
the police, even if he lives out his sen
tence.
Half of Sage's life has been spent in
prison. He began stealing when he was
IL years old, and never learned anything
else
The old man was arrested Wednesday
night for attempting to rob a residence,
Il didn't get in, Judge" he said, and
then added as if to excuse his failure;
II guess ] am getting too old and
stiff. ! won't mind year; ] am more
at home in prison than out, anyway"
The Mott gang of pickpockets, thieves,
beggars, bold-up men and general util-
ity thugs 20 years ago lived the scenes
that usually are found in dime novels,
and no member of the gang was more
resourceful in crime than Sage. Mollie
Mott, by her beauty and personality,
led the gang, and was the cause of more
than one affray between jealous follow
ers.
The gangs success bred emulation and
other criminals formed themselves into
a band known in police annals as the
Sheylin gang. The gangs fought the po-
lice and each other until Mollie's charms
conquered one of the Shevlin gang and
brought the two tribes under her har-
monious seeptre.
Relentless war with the police, disease
and prison cells in the succeeding years,
broke up the band and its members for
the most part are dead, or at least
passed from the ken of the local police.
Sage is the last one they know of, and
they think his days are nearly over.
