u In Touch with 1892 Families.
The work during 1915 brought us
into touch with 1.s63 families. Nine
hundred and seventy-nine OF these
families had never been previously
aided by the Associated Charities and
swing to unemployment and financial
depression. many of them were obliged
20 10 into debt during the period of
Suppression. In the beginning OF the
year 1915. when conditions were i'm
proving. the old debts had to be paid
and the work OF rehabilitation was
gradual.
When we consider the fact and see
that Of the l.S62 families helped dur
ing 1915. only $50 families continued
TO ask for aid when industrial condi-
tons improved. It clearly shows that
the cause OF the large increase in de-
tendency was due to economic condi-
tons.
The aid during 1915 given to the
l473 families was an investment in
character and shows that Immediately
when economic conditions improved.
self-respect asserted itself and they
became self-supporting. This Is cause
for the congratulation of our con-
stituency and ought to encourage us
In coming to the aid OF such families
when financial embarrassment over
takes them.
During 1915. new families making
application for aid were 166 as COM
pared with 97s. These figures are elo-
quent In portraying the conditions
under which we labored during the
past year.

SAVINGS BANK
 RESTRICTIONS
 ARE ELIMINATED
POSTAL SAVINGS DEPOSIT LiM. IT IS RAlSED-MONTH
 LIMIT IS ABOLISHED

On one of the recent mails from the Outside Assistant Postmaster X. F. Herpick received official nO tices of the raise in the limit oi money which can be placed on de posit in postal savings banks. and notice of the elimination Of the restriction providing fo- the deposit of not more than SlCJ during a calendar month. The notice is in the shape of news bulletin and is as follows:
 Larger postal savings deposits will now be accepted at the post. office. This is made possible by an important amendment to the Postal Savings Act just approved by Presi- dent Wilson. A postal savings de poSitor may now have an account amounting to $1,0OO upon which in terest will be paid Formerly $500 was the maximum amount he could have to his credit This enlarge AISilt ol pootai ohN luS9 ldClIIIlt9 VIII be very gratifying to thousands of depositorS who have already reaCf ed the old $500 limit and are anxious to entrust more of their savings to Un- cle Sam. Another feature of the amendment that will avoid further embarrassment to the public is the doing away with the limit on the amount that could be accepted from depositor monthly. Under the old law only $100 could be deposited in calendar month The amendment abolishes this restriction. While the Postal Savings System has already proved a signal success as Is shown by the fact that more than half a million depositors have over eighty million dollars standing to their credit, still it has fallen short of meeting the full demands of the public because of the restrictions which have now been eliminated Postmaster General Burleson and Third Assistant Postmaster General Cookery have been tireless in their efforts to secure modification of the limitations and the new libpr- alizing legislation is particularly gratifying to them"

 BODY Is FOUND

The mystery of the disappearance o1 Phil Mcclure. an upper Tanana river prospector. was solved last week, when his body was found on a bar on the left limit of the Tanana river about three miles above the mouth of Shaw creek. according to word sent to town by E E James, commissioner at Richardson. Tn" body was found by E. R Babcock, who placed flag near 1t so as to be able to find it again, and then reported the matter to the federal authorities at Richardson.
 As soon as the finding of the corpse was reported to him. Com missioner James went to the scene. He immediately identified the body as that of Phil Mcclure and took it to Richardson. An inquest re suited in a decision of death by drowning The body was buried at Richardson, as the deceased left no estate nothing being found iu the pockets of the clothing on the corpse but a dollar watch and d pocket knife
 The first report of the disappear ance of Mcclure was sent to The Citizen by Anthony Kozlowski last fall shortly before the close of navi- gation McGuire had started up the Panama in polling boat with load of supplies, intending to do some prospecting on some of the creeks coming in on the upper reach es of the river The last time he was seen alive was by some Indians, who afterwards reported that hia boat was in bad shape. The opin.- on of death by drowning which pre- vailed at the time of the disap- pearance has now been substantial ed by the finding of the body.

Smith Arrested for
 Stealing Suit Case

Shortly before the steamer Yukon pulled away from the dock last Friday mmorning, William H. Smith was taken into custody by Chief of Police Frank Wiseman and Pa trolman Jack O'Connor on the charge of the larceny of a suit case from one of the corridors of the Pioneer hotel The arrest was made on the boat Smith having booked passage for the Outside
 The case has been turned over to the federal authorities for prose cution. Smith is being held under bonds of s1OO He was up before Commissioner John K Brown Sat urday afternoon at ? o'clock, at which time his trial was fixed for Tuesday morning at 10:30. He stat ed at the time that he will pro duce witnesses to prove that he has been the owner of the suit case
 
 that one of the witnesses will tes- tify that it was loaned to him upon one occasion.
 The complaint in the case was sworn to by E. L. (SD Scrafford, who alleges that Smith stole the suit case, the property of J. w. Dny J,, of of Scrafford's room several days ago, At the time the suit case dis appeared the matter was reported to the chief of police, who instruct ed his patrolmen, as well as MT. Scrafford to keep sharp lookout for it on all of the outgoing boats. And while looking over the baggage of the passengers leaving on the Yukon Friday, MT Scrafford and Patrolman O'Connor found the suit case.
 The warrant for the arrest of Smith was then issued He offered to make resistance when taken into NuotouS, dliu piCddVu ioN ouiNS when arraigned in city court.
 Smith came to Fairbanks last fall as an engineer in the employ of the Hargraves Engineering company, And since coming here he has beeE admitted to the bar This is not the first time he has been in trou ble, as he has been in city court at least once before on his own ac- count Most of his escapades have not been mentioned.
 It Is understood that Smith is also charged with writing a check for $l6O when he had no money in the bank. The check covered vari- ous smaller amounts for which he had written other checks which had not been presented at the bank for payment It is stated, however. that the parties who cashed the checks will not press the charges if they can get their money back.

FRAME BROS. |NAUGURAT|NC
 AUTO SERVICE
TRAIL AUTOISTS START TOMOR- ROW ON THEIR FIRST
 TRIP TO COAST.

The starting out of one of the automobiles of the Frame auto line tomorrow morning, driven by William Frame, will mark the inaugura tion of a regular summer automobile service between Fairbanks and the coast And from now on the ser vice will be continued the inten- tion of the Frame boys being to carry passengers through to the coast in four days time as soon as the trails become better.
 The present trip is being made in order that one Of the brothers may be on the coast end of the line For there are several passen- gers at Chitina now awaiting trans portatton to Fairbanks, and it is the intention of the Frames to keep up an uninterrupted service by re maining one at each end of the line.
 Grover Frame will be on the Fair hanks end of the run. He will prob ably start out from Fairbanks to meet his brother and the load of passengers coming from the coast about next Sunday or Monday
 MAIL SERVICE POSSIBLE.
 It is barely possible that the government has not yet given up the idea of carrying the mail to Fairbanks over the trail in the summer, according to a telegram received by Grover Frame The wire was from a Valdez merchant. who asked if the Frame brothers would make 13 trips with mail be tween Valdez and Fairbanks for $2,OOO. Which leads to the belief that the government may yet let a mail contract.
 In replying to the wire Frame told the Valdez man that he would make the specified number of trips with 200 pounds of first class mail between Fairbanks and Willow creek or Chitina for $2,500 He also sug- gested the establishment, by Valdez, of an auto route from the coast town to connect with his line at Willow creek.
