BILL FOR 3-STORY
POST OFFICE HERE
Emergency Measure in Congress
to Increase Rebuilding Fund
by $4,000
Special TO The Telegraph

Washington, d. c., March Con
gresham Aaron S. Kreider to-day
presented a bill in Congress for an
emergency appropriation of $4,000
for the rebuilding of the federal
building at Harrisburg.
Mr.. Kreider, in explaining the bill,
said: "It is my purpose, if l can Sc
cure the passage of this bill, to have
the addition built three stories in
stead of one as is now provided for
After a careful examination of the
Post Office at Harrisburg and the
plans for the enlargement now under
way, and after comforting with Post
master Sites, am convinced that the
100000 appropriated for the in
crease of floor space will not be suf-
ficient to give the room made neces-
sary for the growing postal business al
Harrisburg since the addition of the
parcel post"
AS an emergency measure the
Ereider bill will take precedence over
other Post Office bills and it is be-
lieved will be acted on in short time

LONE BANDIT ROBS
MAIL CAR ON TRAIN
At COLUMBIA, S. c.
Clerk Is Ordered to Stand With His
Face Against
Wall
By Associatsd Press

Columbia, S. c., March 6.--The au-
thorities redoubled their efforts to-day
to capture the bandit who last night
held up and robbed the mail car of
Southern Railway train No. II. from
Charleston to Columbia, just as the
train reached the latter place. Aided
by the local police, special officers of
the railroad company were securing
the country for the robber, but so faI
no trace of him has been found.
The officers We're hampered in theiI
search because of the lack Of an ade-
quate description of the robber. G. r
Thomas. the mail clerk, could only de-
scribe the man as masked and about
five feet, eight inches tall. Another
difficulty was the fact that the bandit
after robbing the train escaped some
time before the search could be un-
dertaken, although the robbery was
reported Immediately after the train
arrived in Columbia.
Flourishes Revolver
Boarding the train just as it entered
the city limits, the robber fiourished
a revolver, ordered Thomas to stand
with his face to the wall and, after
quickly securing several sacks of reg
istered mail, jumped off the train and
made off some time before the train
reached the station.
Until the record of the Charleston
Post Office can be examined 1t will
be impossible to ascertain the value
of the package taken. This examina-
ton was begun early to-day.
1t was recalled here to-day that just
two years ago the same train was rob-
bed, the place, the hour and the cir
cumstances being identically the same
as last nights holdup. The robbel
escaped then with only a small
amount of booty.

An innovation this year will be the
combining of the playground instruc-

last couple of years a girls and a
boys supervisor took care of the youth
of the two sexes respectively. Better
results, 1t is now believed, can be OBJ
tanned by combining the supervision
under q male head, although in

ployed to teach the children of the
respective sexes. The male super

many is to benefit by Turkish help,
that the Balkan situation be left to
chance. German strategic cOnsidera-
tionS demand that the Ottoman army
develop the full strength of it's often
siVe against Russia The only place
at which this can be directed is the
Caucasus at the eastern end of the

1t is imperative, therefore, that the

Fortune plays into German hands
here because OF Bulgaria's attitude.
Bulgaria is Turkeys border country
and Bulgaria Is full OF resentment
against her Balkan neighborS and
Russia. She holds them responsible
because her share of the Spoils of

The Germans can make effective
use of this fact in arguing with the
Turks that the western frontier is
safe. This is what the Germans un-
doubtedly are trying to do. Germany
must take the chance and rush

What eventually may happen to
Turkey is a question that must be
subordinated to the requirements OF
