Keep empty reels OF thread; they
are useful in a hundred ways. In the

Says This City Is His Home
WRITES 'TLL GET YOU YET"
Alleged to Have Threatened Girls
Life When She Would
Not Marry Him
Special to The Teleeyabh

Richmond, Va. April 10.-John N
Bretz, who said he was son of Ben
jamin Bretz. a retired business man
of Harrisburg, was charged in police
court here yesterday with choking and
threatening Miss Gabrielle Dawson,
a pretty young typist employed in the
office of the clerk of Henrice county.
Bretz said he came here from Har-
risburg four years ago.
Charges were preferred by the girl
following the receipt of a letter In
which Bretz. 1t Is alleged, threatened
tt re-enact a tragedy which occurred
here recently in which a police SER
geant killed a woman and then took
his own life, unless Miss Dawson
would marry him, which she had re-
peatedly refused to do. Bretz is al
legged to have attacked the girl while
she was alone in the Office at the
courthouse, and she wrested her
self loose him and ran out in the cor
ridor. The letter ends with the
words, "I'll win you yet"
1t Is understood that the case will
be dismissed this afternoon when
Bretz makes a public apology and
agrees to leave the state.
Search of Harrisburg fails to dis
close anyone of the name which the
young man gave as that of his par
ent; nor is there anyone to be found
who knows of his identity.

PARCEL POST IS
GROWING HERE BY
LEAPS AND BOUNDS
Easter Business Even Greater Now
Than 1t Was During Christ
mas Rush

Showing an increase of Is per cent.
over corresponding period last year,
parcel post receipts at Harrisburg are
going up by leaps and bounds, ac-
cording to Postmaster Frank c. Sites,
who to-day expressed the belief that
the parcel post was as yet only an
infant in arms, and predicting vast
volume of business for the parcel post
next Christmas. Mr.. Sites said that
even the Easter parcel post business
here exceeded that of last Christmas,
and judging by that it would not be
hard TO predict that the business next
Christmas would be enormous.
The Post Office force here is now at
work keeping count of all outgoing
mail, with particular attention to the
parcel post. In the latter class of
mail three factors must be itemized:
Weight of package, zone to which 1t
is sent, and amount of postage. For
fifteen days the Post Office here must
keep account of its outgoing mail.
This work began April l and will
terminate the 18th. 1t Is done in ac-
cordance with a special order from
Washington, with the view, 1t is be-
lived, to secure data on which to base
further parcel post extensions.
A similar order was issued last Fall
and carried out at the Post Office here.
