NUMBER Is
PLEADS GUILTY.
Former Postmistress in Yazoo County
Gets Fine and Four Months.

Miss Fannie Cullum. former post
mistress at Phoenix, in Yazoo County,
who on Monday pleaded not guilty
when arraigncd in the federal court
on a charge Of embezzlement and on
Tuesday changed the plea to guilty.
was sentenced by Federal Judge Niles
yesterday to pay fine Of S923,70 and
serve four months time in the Kinds
county Jail
In sentencing the young woman,
who is about q years of age. Judge
Niles stated that he had received in
formation that she did not embezzle
the postal funds for her own use,
but that someone near and dear to
her had been benefited" but that
she was responsible to the govern
ment for the missing money.
Miss Cullum claims that she does
not know what became of he $922.7O
alleged to have been embezzled. She
says she kept Uncle Sans money
that passed through her hands in
safe and when the postotlice inspector
came along he checked her up short.
She simply and frankly states that she
did not take the money and has no idea
how it came TO be missing, unless
some one, unknown to her, had access
10 the safe, and stole it.
Judge Niles, for n while at least,
has suspended the Jail sentence until
the next term Of court, in May, 1915.
Miss Cullum gave bond the sum Of
$500 to again appear in court at that
time. She says that she has sold cat
tie, horses and farm products to try
to pay back to the government the
amount Of her shortage, and so far has
returned $500. Her bondsmen, w. A..
Cox, W. v Cooper and H. /. Hilder-
brand, it is said, will be called upon
to make good the balance.

CUNO H. RUDOLPH SEES
PROGRESS FOR DISTRICT
Expects Board of Trade to Aid
Greatly in Making This a
Model City"

Much progress toward making Wash
ington the model city of the United
States is predicted for 1914 by Presi-
dent Cuno III. Rudolph of the Board of
Trade. Mr.. Rudolph declares that the
Board of Trade will continue its efforts
in behalf of the city, and with it's greatly
increased membership should accomplish
much for the good of Washington.
1--WE all look confidently into the new
year with a feeling that there will be a
larger measure of prosperity for every
one said Mr.. Rudolph. 1.-THE final pas
sage of the currency law has served ma
terially TO clear the atmosphere finan-
cially and commercially throughout the
country, and confidence is being speedily
restored.
With this revived feeling of cheerful
ness in business here and elsewhere, and
the assurance which comes from the
knowledge of our wonderful resources as
a nation. and the bountiful crops which
are annually becoming larger and larger.
our people can turn the turnstile to 1914
with eyes set toward a future that is
bright indeed.

Tribute to Community.

Washington people. after the holiday
feasting. will certainly aim to share in
the good things that the new year may
bring forth. Our. community for intelli-
Sence, and public charity-spiritednes
ranks high With all cities of the nation,
and its people may be expected to keep
pace with the general progress.
Civic organizations here are mapping
out an ambitious plan for reforms and
improvements that are sure to make
rapid strides toward that idea1-the
model city of the nation. The Board
of Trade will continue it's good work of
other years, and it will strive to accom-
plish more than ever for the general good
of the community. The new adminstra-
ton of the board soon viii adopt def
mite program, and campaign vigorously
for certain projects. which it is believed
the people justly should have. With the
largest membership the board has ever
enjoyed. naturally We expect to accom-
plish much for the good of Washington"

SUPREME COURT ASKED
T0PASS ON ISSUE
Will End Long Post Office Contention
Over Stamp-Sale Boosting for
Salary Increases.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has been asked. in a case docket
ed, to decide whether or not it is a
criminal offeIse for postmasters whose
salary depends on the number OF stamps
sold at their offices to increase their
salaries by boosting stamp sales through
collusion with their friends. The case is
brought up by the Post Office Depart
ment, which has for many years labored
to prevent such boosting of receipts from
sales of stamps, and which contends that
postmasters who endeavor to draw salary
by exploiting the stamp business of their
offices are guilty of crime.
The case docketed is an appeal from
the action of the federal district court
in Massachusetts, quashing an indict-
ment against Harold A. Foster, Frank
E. Winchell. William S. Edwards and
Henry III. Platt of conspiracy to swell
the stamp sales at Brookfield. Mass,
where Foster was postmaster.
Failed to Report Unusual Sales.
Edwards and PIatt were merchants in
New York. Winchell was charged with
purchasing large amounts OK stamps for
them from Foster. and Foster was
charged with failing to report the sale
of these particular stamps to the Post
Office Department as unusual sales,
which are taken out of the amount upon
which salaries are computed. The dis
trict court held that 1t was not crimi-
nal offense not to report the sales as un-
usual.
Post office inspectors have spent much
time watching the sale of stamps. A
case involving the question has never
reached the Supreme Court before, how
ever Partly because it was not until re-
cent years that the government had the
right to appeal when indictments were

HUGE WIRELESS TOWERS
FLASH NEW YEARS BIRTH
Results of Arlington Stations Eff
forts to Notify World Not
Definitely Known.

At five minutes to - clock last night
a succession of blush flashes from the
top of the tallest of the three gigantic
towers browning the Arlington hills. ac-
companied by a roaring, Kissing sound
like escaping steam, marked the begin
ming of the experiment which the Naval
Observatory was making to notify the
world of the birth of the New Year in
the Capital of the United States. The ex-
pertinent in itself marked a great adj
vance in physical science, for although
the Naval Observatory for long time
past has undertaken to send such mes
sages around the world, heretofore it
has been by means of linked submarine
cables and land telegraph wires. Last
night for the first time the New Year
message was sent broadcast over the
land and the sea by means of the wireless
system of communicat ton.

Elaborate Preparations.

Elaborate preparations had been made
for the experiment, and~ample notice had
been sent abroad, so that wherever there
might be a ship or a shore station,
from the Hottest tower down to the anna
tours clothes pole mast, the receiving
instruments might PICK UP the mysterious
sparks.
The signals began at 1:55 pm, merid
ian time. The beats of the transmitting
clock at the Naval Observatory, connect
ed by wire with the radio towers at Ar
lington, were automatically repeated by
delicate instruments which translated
them into radio flashes backed by the
enormous voltage of the whole Arlington
plant To indicate the character of the
communication to the anxious receivers,
certain beats were skipped by prearrange-
ment; thus these seconds were omitted:
the 18th, 55th seth. 9th, 5sth and 59th
in each minute. In the 18th minute all
beats after the 10th second were omitted
until the instant of midnight, which was
indicated by the beginning of beat of
about / 1-3 seconds in duration. A wave
length of 900 meters was used.
Distance Not Yet Known.

SUFFRAG|STS AND ANTS
AREEQUALLY OPTIMISTIC
DR.. Anna Shaw and Mrs. A. N.
Dodge Predict Notable Victories
for Causes in 1914.

NEW YORK, January LIN messages
summing up the progress of their respec-
tive movements, the National American
Woman Suffrage Association and the Ma
tional Association Opposed to Woman's
Suffrage, DIR. Anna Howard Shaw, presi-
dent of the former; Mrs. Arthur Murray
Dodge. head of the latter organization, de-
clared that the past year had been one
Of gratifying success and each predicted
notable victories for the causes they rep
resent in the year just starting.
Standing on the threshold of 1914"
said DR.. Shaw, I'VE suffragists are de-
lighted with the recognition of women
shown in the appointment by Mayor
Mitchell of DR.. Katherine B. Davis to the
position of commissioner of corrections of
the city of New York. This, following the
appointment of Miss Julia Lathrop as head
of the federal children's bureau and the
appointment of Mrs. j. Borden Hartman
as member of the federal industrial
commission, is one of many evidences that
the government is recognizing woman's
ability to fill places of trust and power
We are upheld by the growing conscious
ness of American men that it is a shame
full thing to have their women governed
by black men, red men, yellow men, men
from every country and no country gath
cred under this flag"
