the sub-conscious mind, and In these
dark and forgotten corners many

There Is nothing mysterious or ter

In these latent impressions will be

so-called causeless terrors of early

BURG METHODISTS ADOPT
STATEWIDE

There closed yesterday two dis
trict conferences of the Methodist
Church that have been in session for
the past two days. These were the
Rappahannock and Petersburg con-
ferences, in session at White Marsh
church, Lancaster county, and Law
renceville, respectively. At both of
these gatherings temperance was the
chief matter of interest, and there
were many who gave most Of their
time to the discussion of the topic.
AS has been the case at all the other
conferences of the Methodist Church
held this summer, both of these bodies
went on record as unaiterablv oppos-
ing the liquor traffic, and as commend
ing the work of the Anti Saloon league
and the other temperance organiza-
tons of the State In their fight against
the liquor traffic. This sentiment in
both instances was put In the form Of
a temperance report, adopted with
great enthusiasm. and in both inst
ances by unanimous action of the
bodies.
The members Of the conferences
were the men who had been leading
the work of securing signatures 70
the petitions calling for the Statewide
election, and all were very much en-
couraged at the hearty response that
had greeted their labors. In nearly
every instance 1t was reported by those
who had been in touch with the stu
alton that there was no lack Of men
willing to sign the papers wha had
merely not been able to sign because

tons could he circulated
At the Petersburg conference the
report was discussed by Dr. James

Virginia Anti Saloon league. who
made a characteristically forCeful and
effective arrangement of the licensed
saloon and of the efforts being made
by various ORGANIZATIONS in Richmond
to perpetuate the saloon under the
Guise of fighting for principles of
government The address was greeted
with hearty approval by the audience
and many ma nifestations Of approval
were heard
AT the Rappahannock conference,
the meeting was addressed by Rex,

WH|TEWASH FOR
CONGRESSMAN IN
MINING SCHEME
Nobody to Blame for Booming
Gold Hill Property on Sta
tionery of Senate

Washington. July l6.--Nobody is to
blame for having doomed the Gold
Hill mine on senate stationery.
That, in substance, is the finding OF
the senate committee which has in
yestigated the remarkable chain OF
circumstances that led to the clrcula-
tfon on the Wall Street curb of a Gold
Hill report struck off on senate com
mittee letter heads in the offices of
two senators who are stockholders in
the mine.
The committees report, which was
laid before the senate today, con-
tains not word of condemnation for
anybody, or anything. There is moth
ing in 1t that would discourage the
most timid from emulating this eff
fort to exploit the North Carolina
coiconda on senate stationery. Even
Walter George Newman, the promoter,
who used the presidents room at the
capitol to sing the praises of Gold
Hill, and who enjoyed the extraordi-
nary privilege of going on the floor of
the senate, might find encouragement
in the report to try his luck again.
Newman Responsible.
The nearest the committee comes
TO pinning direct responsibility to any
one Is in this paragraph of Its re-
port:
MIR. Walter George Newman, the
organizer and promoter of the Gold
Hill Consolidated company, of Gold
Hill. ~ G., on or about the Goth day
of May, 1914 had about forty copies
OF the following letter made for him
upon the official letter heads Of the
committee on rules, of which Senator
Overman Is chairman. and upon the
official letter head of the committee on
census, of which Senator Chiffon is
chairman. and Mr. Newman distrib-
uted said copies among his friends
and persons Interested in said mining
property"
. Then follows the letter which mod
estly placed the value OF the mine at
100000. 900, and which. according to
the testimony brought out, was circu-
lated among Wall Street curb brokers
copied on the senate committee letter
heads
The report OF the investigating com
mittee says that Senator'S Overman
and Chiffon were absent from their
offices when Newman called and had
the copies made. and that they never
at any time consented to the use of
the letter heads and never had any
knowledge of their use until shortly
before the inquiry was begun.
Virginian Exoneratcd.
$50 far as it appears from the evil
dence" says the report senator
Overman, Senator Chiffon. Senator
Pomerene, Senator Swanson and Rep
resentative Flood are the only Con j.
gressmen Interested in the mining
company. and each Of these congress
men bought and paid the prevailing
price upon the market for their stock
and none of them received any special
favors or inducements from Mr.. New
man to purchase said stock, and none
of them were In any way responsible
for the use of the United States senate
stationery, and We therefore, exon
crate them from any blame In connec-
ton with this matter"
The committee also eXonerates John
SHELTON Williams. comptroller of the
currency, from any blame. They find
that he was not, and never had been,
stockholder in the Gold Hill com
pany, and was not in any way pecu-
MARTY interested in the mine.

IN REGISTRY

That portion of the annual report
OF the Richmond postoffice to the post
office department for the fiscal year
ended June 80. 1914, dealing with the
registry and parcel post divisions,
shows that while there WAS d decrease
of 10 per cent in the amount of reg
istered matter handled, there was a
surprisingly large increase in the
quantity of insured mail and c. o. ID.
matter.
The great increases INSIDE in the
business done through the Richmond
postoftice in the handling of c. o. ID.
matter and insured parcels shows that
the people are steadily taking hold
Of the advantages offered by parcel
post The summart Of the report also
shows that the psople are becoming
Of value on parcels than they were
when the insurance feature was first
applied 10 the parcel post system.
More Letters Registered.
The number Of domestic letters
registered during the year ending
June 80 last. was 62.643, aa against
6l,596 in the preceding year. The
number Of domestic parcels handled
showed great dropping off. due to
the changing of the registered parcels
10 insured parcels class the figures
for the two years being SIS in 1913
and bat LISP in 1914. In all other
classified tons of registered matter
gains were made. almost enough to
offset the big loss in tho volume of
registered parcels business Among
the more handled matter the figures
are In 1914, foreign letters regis
tered. 2,662 in 1918, 2.163; foreign
parcels registered, in 1914, 673, and
IN 1918, 362
Comparison of insured parcels
handled In the two years shows
2S,723 parcels were insured at the
five cent fee, that is. were valued
by scnders at s25. and 1887 were
insured at q cents. being valued at
up to $50 during the fiscal year end
ing June 80. 1914. The total value
of these was s260.T32.72 Total value
Of parcels insured in the year pre-
ceding was s43.125.1S. The numbers
are 2.30t on which five cents was
the insurance fee, and 2,7T4, on which
ten cents w9s paid
Over 500 Per Cent Increase.
The percentage of increase In vol
uine Of insured matter over 1918 was
5a5. C. o. y. matter handled increased
65 per cent
A STUDY of the figures showing the
number OF pareeis insured at 10 cents.
or valued up 70 $50, during 1914. was
considerably less than that OF 1918. in
dicating that persons insuring packages
sent by mail find losses few and risk
Of sending by parcel post small.
That tho great majority of packages
SO mailed arc not worth more than
SIS is indicated In the figures fer the
year 1914. The fact that the number
Of t@n-cent foes paid in 1913. on n much
smaller business, was nearly double
that of this year. appears to show that
people, finding there was little iikeH-
hood Of collecting claims because of
losses gained confidence In the parcel
post system, and became more moder-
ate in their estimation OF the value of
the goods intrusted to the mails.
