BURLESON FAVORS
 ONE NECENTPOSTACE
So Informed Delegation Represent ing National One Cent Letter Post age Association at Washington
 Believes Contention Right

Cleveland. O., May 22-Postmas- ter General Albert $. Burleson, re- gently appointed by President Will son to take charge of the postal af- fairs of the United States, is heartily in favor of one cent letter postage. He so announced himself to d delegation representing the National One Cent Letter Postage Association, which waited on him in Washington a few days ago.
 T am heartily ill favor of one cent letter postage declared Post master General Burleson, who went on to explain that he hoped to bring it about just as soon as the reVe- nues of the department could be adjusted.
 The postmaster general told the advocates of one cent letter postage that he had long believed that their contention was right. He stated however. that as head of the de- pertinent it was his business to see that sufficient revenue was raised to meet all expenses, and while he admitted that there was a big sur- plus received from first class mail each year. he added that it would be necessary to make such an ad- justment of rates as would put the department on a business basis.
 Postmaster General BurleSOn is strongly in favor of putting the pos tai department on an efficient ba- sis He also favors adequate com- pensation for postal employees. and such a readjustment of rates as will permit the operation of the department in business-like man. her.
 It is the purpose of the present postof1ice administration to estab- fish civil service rules throughout the department, applying eventual ly even to first class poStmasters.
 Senator Theodore E. Burton of Ohio and Representative Charles L. Bartlett from Georgia, have re- introduced one cent letter postage bills in the Senate and House of Representatives. These bills call for the inauguration of one cent letter postage by July 1 of this year.
 Senator Burton has long cham pioned the battle for one cent letter postage, while Representative Bart lett has favored the cheaper rate for many years.
 A strong advocate for the lower rate has appeared in the person of Hon. James J. Britt of Asheville, N. c. Mr. Britt recently retired from the position of third assistant post master general. Upon being asked for his opinion of one cent letter postage. he expressed it in no un- certain terms.
 'I am heartily in favor" declared Nr. Britt, of the immediate reduc- tion of letter rate postage from two cents an ounce to one cent per ounce for these reasons:
 "It will promote general intelli- gence, and will improve the social relations of the people.
 Tt will advance the business in 'erests of the country by lowering the cost of communication.
 The rate of one cent an ounce for letters. with the increase of mail matter which the reduction will induce, will defray the cost of handling and transportation.
 But few public questions are of such vast concern to The great body of the American people. and I ear nestly hope it may receive the early and serious attention of Congress" <"

 Story of McCarty'S Life.

Luther McCarty was born at Lin coin, Neb., on March 17, 1892 His father was an Indian half-breed and his mother of Irish extraction Standing a trihe over six feet three inches, he was physically powerful, yet a comparatively weak hitter. His best blow was a right uppercut, which he used almost continually in clinches.
 He first sprang into ring promi- hence when he defeated Carl Nor riS at Springfield, Mo, on May 3, 1912. McCarty was immediately hailed as a real white hope" His best battle was with Al falzer at Los Angeles last New Years Day, when he defeated the cOnquerer of Bombardier Wells in IS rounds. His last fight previous to the fatal bat tie of today was a i0-round victory over Frank Moran at New York on April 30.

He hails from Chicopee Falls, Mass, and is a powerful siX-footer who fights at about 200 pounds While not a clever boxer, he has a terrific punch. He has fought a number of bouts throughout the east, usually meeting third-raters with rather indifferent results.

TO MILL POTATOES
Montana piaut to start New Industry
in nited states.

Kalspell, Mont, May "A potato
milling plant, the first of its kind in
the United States, although the manu-
facture of potato goods has become a
standard industry in Germany in the
last II years, is to be established here.
Contracts aggregatlng 1000 acres to be
planted for the use of the mill have
been signed by local farmers and the
company, which is estimated to be a
sufficient supply until the next crop is
matured.
Among the products to be turned
out are potato stock foods, breakfast
foods, noodles and macaroni and po-
tato -four. These products have be-
come staple commodities in Germany
and the stock foods are regularly
quoted in the market reports of that
country. 1t is claimed by stockmcn to
be superior to corn for fattening and
is less expensive.

Powerful Searchlixht Mt Exposition.

SAN FRANCISCO. May Electric
ians are now planning for the con-
struction Of the largest searchlight in
the world which the Mount Tamalpais
railroad intends to install on top of
Mount Tamalpais as an added feature
of the Panama-Pacific Exposition. 1t
is hoped that the rays of the powerful
light will reach across the Golden Gate
and tip the mountain tops for miles
around and that they will also illumi
nate the 1913 exposition grounds.
A local firm of electrical engineers
is at present making searchlight fit
ted with a parabolic Bausch & Lomb
mirror lens and an arc lamp capable
of 100 amperes of current capacity, to
be increased as desired. The lens is SO
constructed as to concentrate the in
tense light on a 100-foot square spot
at distance Of nine miles from the
lens. Thrown into the sky a beam
from this lamp will be seen at 100
miles distance, and objects will be H.
Illuminated at distance of 10 to 20
miles. The searchlight will have a
range of at least IL miles and will be
sufficient to blind a man at this dis
lance.

Greek Kings Speech Humiliates.

French public opinion considers France
to have been Inundated by the recent
speech of King Constantine Of Greece at
Potsdam, when, during the banquet
given by the German emperor, he as
cribed the successes of the Greek troops
in the Balkans to their officers knowl<
edt,e of Prussian military training.
For number of years "a French mill
taiy mission. with Gen. Eydoux at its
head. has been in Greece instructing
Greek troops, and in consequence of this
France had looked upon Greek victories
as evidence of the superiority of her
military science. She was, therefore,
amazed to hear that the German military
education of many of the Greek officers
was deemed. by the king to have been
of more account in the victories over the
Bulgarians and Turks than the efforts
Of her military mission.
I The belief is general today that the
Potsdam utterances of the Grecian king
mark the decline of French influence in
Greece and the beginning of a Ger
manophile policy which will finally at
tach Greece to the triple alliance. King
Constantine is said to be personally less
friendly to France than was his father,
and the present Queen Sophie was born

ton. of visiting Paris Z incognito next
