DENVER PEOPLE SEND
XMAS PACKAGES EARLY

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 24.-Hun-
dreds Of persons responded in Denver
to the appeal sent out by Postmaster
Harrison that they mail their Christ
mas packages early.
Anticipating that this would be the
busiest Christmas season In the his
tory Of the postoffice department,
Harrison, along with other postmas-
ters In the state, asked all patrons to
get an early start 20 that the conges-
tion, which the department faced
might be obviated, at least in part.
Tho response, while not general.
was gratifying and the postal cfH-
cials believe that after the practice
has been tried for several years pso-
pie will become educated to the need
Of early mailing. Few understand
tho tremendous difficulty Of handling
promptly the thousands Of extra
packages which the Christmas season
throws on the burdened postal clerks.
When this is once fully understood.
It v expected that the difficulties en-
countered in the past will be larg ely
eliminated.

PUEBLO POLICE QUESTION
MAY GO TO THE COURTS

whether or not the city commission
ers have the authority and right to
force police patrolmen to spend an
additional eight hours "in reserve"
at the city hall after they have work
ed their regular eight-hour shift ON
duty may be threshed out In the
courts.
The Police Benevolent association
asserts that the charter specifically
forbids the commissioners from such
action, inasmuch as It provides that
the maximum working day Of police
men shall be only eight hours. The
commissioners recently put the new
rule into effect and the association
is confident that II cannot be snforc-
ed. They believe that members Of
the department who have already
obeyed the rule are In a position to
demand extra salary for their addi-

proven very satisfactory thus far. He
would keep the prison stone quarry

Manufacturing inside the prison
walls for private firms he would abol-
ish entirely. He would retain the
prison shoe factory with the under
standing that boots and shoes be
made only for inmates Of state insti-
tutions and not be put in the market
in competition with other labor.
He would have more convicts At
