INFLUX OF MAIL
CALLS RESERVES
TO POST OFFICE
Parcels and Packages Fill All
Available Floor Space
Four Extra Men Start to
Work.

Christmas business at the pOstof-
fee started with a rush today.
Saturday the routine of the office
was slightly disturbed by extra pack
ages. The pending influx of business
was foreseen and two extra men taken
on; This morning an urgent call was
sent out for two more before day
light Every corner Cf the pOStOffice
is filled so the first few wagOnlOadS S
taken away were hardly noticed. The
big carriers room. parcel post cases
and corners were filled and it was al
most impossible to find a paSsa geway
across the offices of Postmaster Beck
and Superintendent of Mails Handley.
In the mail the character of some
of the gifts can be seen. In this way
it is revealed that household necessi-
ties Will be more generally received
than trinEets. Useful things of every
description can be seen by the shapes
of bundles or where a thin wrapping
was torn.
Deliver Loads Early.
Four wagonloads OF parcel post matter
was taken out for delivery before day
light, and the carriers awakened many
citizens to bring them christmas gifts.
The work at the office is going on
Systematically and without confusion.
The rush having been anticipated,
plans for handling the extra business
had been worked out to the smallest
detail.
The character Of the mail indicates
that Christmas mailing must have
started all over the country on SatIr-
day. Few incoming parcels designated
as Christmas gifts were brought in on
Saturdays trains. and the extra busi-
ness in the local office was from To-
cally mailed Christmas matter.
The extra business Of the neighboring
offices of Saturday began coming into
the Richmond office yesterday and to-
day.

NEW YORK, Dec 21.--The heavy
sleet storm In New York and Pennsyl-

routed via Baltimore and fittsbUE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Harry X.
Thaw's long fight to avoid extradition
to New York from New Hampshire
where he is now in custody, has ended
in failure. The supreme court of the
United States decided today that the
eXtraditiOn proceedings which New
! York instituted to bring about his re-
turn, are valid. and that legal proceed
ings in the federal courts to prevent
his return must no longer stand in the
way. The writ Of habeas corpus grant
ed him by Federal Judge Aldrich of
New Hampshire, was dismissed
I'VE regard it as too clear for
lengthy discussion that Thaw should
be delivered up at once" was the con
Guiding sentence of the opinion.
The mandate of the court becomes
effective at the end of sixty days. The
i New York authorities may either put
him on trial for conspring with others
to escape from the Mattewan insane
asylum or they may preemptorily
place him in the asylum itself. Under
the decision Of the court their choice
is open to them.
Opinion Of Justice.
In his opinion Justice Holmes flatly
decided that no constitutional bar
could be raised to prevent a person &C
cused in one state of conspiracy from
taking refuge in another state under
the constitutional cloak Of a habeas
corpus proceeding The justice first
took up the question of the Validity of
the New York Indictment
1--WE do not regard it as open to de-
bate that the withdrawal by conni
vance of man from an insane asylum
to which he has been committed as
Thaw was, did tend to obstruct the due
administration Of the law At least
the New York courts may so decide
Therefore the indictment charges a
crime and If there is any remote de.
feet in the earlier proceedings by
which Thaw was committed which We
are barred from intimating, this is not
the time and place for that question to
be tried.
IF conspiracy constituted crime
there is no doubt that Thaw is flu
gtive from justice. He was party
to the crime in New York and after.

established that for purposes of extra

matter what motive induced the de-

ThaW's Sanity.
The most serious argument for Thaw
was that if he was insane when he
contrived his escape he could not be
guilty of crime, said Judge Holmes,
while if he We're not insane he was fit
to be discharged and his confinement
taken with other facts of record re-
quire the court to assume that he was
insane.
Justice Holmes said that the reply
to this argument was that This is
not Thaw'S trial"
STONES STATEMENT.
PITTSBURG, Pa. Dec. 21.--FOrmer
Governor William S. Stone, one Of Ha:-
ry K. ThaW' attorneys, said that while
he had heard the decision Of the Uni
ted States supreme court in the Thaw
case, he had not yet read the opinion
handed down.
''No doubt the New York authorities
will send Thaw back to Mattewan,' he
said. Il do not think it is likely that
he will be tried On conspiracy
charge. 1t is a pretty state of affairs
when a perfectly sane man may be
sent at the will of his enemies to an
insane asylum"

This Was a Good Cow.

Two hundred dollars is named as
the value of a cow and calf in suit
brought against the Duluth, Winni-
peg & Pacific Railway by Mrs. Minnie
Jarvinen in district court today. The
cow and her offspring were partici-
pants in collision with D. w. & P.
freight train at Milepost IS in June
and efforts to settle with the plaintiff
have so far had no result. The COM
plant alleges the cow was thorough
bred Jersey and the sire of the calf
was not without distinction in the
registry books of the American Jer-
sey Breeders association, also that the
right-of-way was not fenced and the
engineer failed to blow the whistle
and ring the bell. Apparently the
D. w. & P. is "up against it"
