 Threat cning Officers.

Danielson, March C.-It was the experience of three state police of1- cers to be held up at the point of a shotgun last night.

Bridgman Wheeler and Jackson had gone to Whites place in an automobile to raid it for cider. They had taken five barrels out of the cellar and loaded them into a wagon when White ap- peared with shotgun and threatened to shoot them all. The officers backed up to the automobile and while one of them fooled about the crank in an effort to start it Wheeler worked his way to the rear of Whites position and then leaped upon him.
 Whites gun contained a shell and he had another one in his hand. On the charge of attempting to shoot Wheeler, the defendant was held in $2,00o for the superior court.

STRICT ECONOMY IN
 POSTAL DEPARTMENT
Needed to Keep Expenditures Within Amount of Last Years Bill
 Extended by Congress.

Extended by Congress.
 Washington, March 6.-Chairman Moon, of the house postal committee author of the railway mail pay pro- visions, which caused the failure of the postal bill in the last congress, wrote Postpaster General Burleson today thatonly strict economy would keep postal expenditures within the amount of last years bill, which was extended by joint resolution of both houses.
 T am very sorry wrote Represen- tative Moon, "to intimate to you, even that if you should go beyond the ap- pTopriation to give you relief. me time has come when practical SUD- sides which in the form Of law, have fastened themselves on the Public service, particularly the postal service, should end, and I know you have been and are doing all that IS within your power to put an end to them"
 Representative Moon explained that the curtailed appropriation would necessitate limiting the rural delivery service and would prevent any in crease in the postal force as well as any promotions.
 "The general business depression, owing to unsettled conditions brought about by the European war" said ne, have produced great shortage in the revenues from first class mail ma tier and the next fiscal year, l am certain, will show a large deficit in the past office department.

 Crew Numbers 200.
 The crew numbered approximately 200. The vessel is under command of Captain Caussin, it was said, with M. Gaillard as second captain. Two wireless operators, Messrs. Sagot and Vidmment, were aboard.
 Stored away in the vessels hold was 8 cargo, the nature of which caused keen apprehension as to the vessels fate when it became known that d fire was raging aboard. Chief of the big cargo were 4,594 eases of cart ridges destined for beligerent Euro pean nations
 Apprehension is Aroused.
 The knowledge that this highly dangerous cargo was aboard caused apprehension that in the event of flames reaching the shipment, the vessel would be blown to atoms.
 Wireless stations along the Atlantic seaboard directed vain queries through the air to the burning ship and the little fleet of rescuers re- ported to be around her. It was thought the wireless plants aboard those steamers were too weak to send back their answers across the long span. All news of the Touraine's fate, 1t was thought would have to come from the other side of the At lantic.
 Officials Not Notified. Officials of the line in this city were without information as to the vessels plight. They had heard the report that her passengers and crew were l safe, but had no verification there of.
 LaTouraine was heavily loaded when she steamed out of the hsr- Dor here last Saturday. Tn addition to the 4,594 cases of cartridges, she carried 139 rapid-fre guns and var jed assortment of supplies for the al- lies, both foodstuffs and clothing. Twelve hundred tons of her cargo consisted of uniforms, cloth for uni forms, sweaters and socks for sol diers in the trenches There were 1900 cases of machinery aboard, as we'll as many hundred wagon wheels, and 275 bars of silver.
 Shortly after 1 o'clock 1t was am line that no information as to the steamer was expected until Monday and the offices were not closed for the usual Saturday half day holidays,
