UUIS VtTV Truly,
FRANK E. WILLIAMS.
Elkton, Nd, Aug. "a. 1916.
THE Baltimore Sun, Aug. 26, 1916 ]

To the Editor of the Sun,
Baltimore, Nd.
Sir:-ln publishing today in your
columns my second note with refer
ence to Mr. Lewis as the alleged ia
Their of the Parcels Post you ask:
What Is Senator Williams Trying to
Do? Does He Deny Lewis Great In
tiuence In Securing The Parcels Post
For The People ?"
Before fatty answering that ques-
ton, let me suggest. my dear Editor,
that you have taken "some" drop,
when you cease talking OF Mr.. Lewis
as "The Father Of The Parcels Post"
and substitute therefor a somewhat
feeble suggestion that his influence in
securing the Parcels Post was great"
without any attempt at measuring
the greatness.
Permit me to say now. in answer to
your direct question that | do most
distinctly and unequivocally deny that
Mr.. Lewis exercised any great in
fiuence or any other kind of influence
in securing the passage of the Par
GELS Post Law. despite his and your
claims to the contrary. | further say
that the records of Congress confirm
my statement as you might have cas-
lily discovered for yourselves. Mr..
Lewis cut no figure whatever in origi-
mating drafting or passing the present
Parcels Post Law. beg to renew my
invitation to you and Mr.. Lewis ICON
tanned in my letter of August 22d) to
go with me to the record. and let US
he governed by the facts which the
record shows.
Yours yer ytrCiy,
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1916-09-02

erence to Mr.. Lewis, as the so-called
Father of the Parcels Post" prefix
ing the publication with your own
headings as follows.
Senator Williams Challenges The
Claim That Little Davy' is Father
of the Parcel POst"-But, of Course,
Nobody Ever Said He Originated
The Idea
Now. that last sentence Of yours is,
of course entirely beside the mark.
In my communication of August 22d,
l contended. and still contend, that the
official records of the United States
Congress. during Mr.. Lewis term of
service, will conclusively show that
there is not the slightest justification
for you or anybody else clubbing Mr..
Lewis "The Father Of The Parcel
Post" You cannot escape the point
at issue by weak contention that
Nobody Ever Said He Originated the
Idea" The point at issue is simply
this:-9our great newspaper, Mr..
Lewis himself, and hundreds of his
political friends have been and are
striving to make for him political
capital on the ground that he is "The
Father OF The Parcel Post" You
nor he nor anyone else can find in his
record in Congress the least justifica-
ton for such a claim.
|, therefore, ask you, before going
further with your advertisement of
Mr.. Lewis connection with the Par
GELS Post Law. to inform yourself as
tc the record. 1t is merely matter
of getting upon the facts, and l can
not think you want to expose your
self to the modification of being COM
PEELED to learn about what you can
easily learn freely and of your own
initiative.
| am purposely waiting to give The
Sur chance.
Yours very tTlllv

ways running. The President had
tod the heads of the brotherhoods
that the eight-hour day had "the sane
ton of the judgment of society"
though in thic case that was not the
issue at stake, he had confirmed them
in their stubborn resolve to carry their
contention at any cost, and when they
traded on this encouragement and or
dered a strike without consulting him
further the only thing he could do was
to appeal to Congress to help him out
of the pit he had digged for himself.
In the circumstances Congress had
little choice of tools for tho operation.

ALASKA MADE CIGARS
 POPULAR IN VALDEZ

Wm. Hermans, who established a cigar factory in Seward last summer, is in town to afford the business men of Valdez an opportunity of handling Alaska made cigars. He reports that he is meeting with good success as the excelle1ce of the products of his factory has travelled ahead of him.
 Eight men are employed in the fac tory and they have been kept busy supplying the demands of the west ward towns and creating a stock to supply orders for future delivery. Union workmen are employed in the factory and the products are turned
 out under sanitary conditions which could not be improved upon.
 MT. Hermans states that he brought a stock of tobaccos north sufficient to last one year and that the prod ucts of the factory will not be allow ed to deterlorate as is the case with many brands of cigars after they come into general nse. but will be kept fully up to standard. He is go ling after the business in the right
 way and Is not afraid to advertise |his goods. the principal brands of
 which are the Mariposa, w. R. King and Terminal cigars.

 They managed it so that they reached the boundary line at night. They stayed there on day, not trying to conceal their actions from the po- licemen stationed there. During the day MT. Lenge bought up sled load of fish, which he hauled up where it could easily be seen by the policemen and then gave out that he would start for Dawson the next morning.
 However, as soon as everybody about the police station was asleep, MT. Lenge started for Eagle. From here he went down to Circle with the mail carrier, and from Circle to Fair bands also with the regular mail car rier.
 MT. Lenge states that the only re- gret that he has for his escape from internment is that it will make 1t harder for the remainder of the Ger mans and Austrians who are nov held at Dawson. He is not afraid that they will be actually imprisoned or treated badly in any respect, but he thinks that they will be watched more close ly and their freedom curtailed in more ways than one.
 The escaped German is well known to many old Dawsonites, now in Fair banks. He plans either to go into business here or in the TolOyana.

VALDEZ GEMETARY MAY BE CHANGED
Effort will be Made to Interest Fra ternal Societies and Churches
 In New Grounds.

A movement has been started by the fraternal societies of Valdez
 which should be given the united support of every resident of the town. It is planned to take steps to acquire a plot of ground some distance out on the government road which could be used as 8 puuA.c cemetery.
 | The present burial place. located as it is on the tidefats near the
 mouth of Lowe river, is covered with
 water when the glacier streams are high and it is is almost impossible
 to reach during the winter. Those who have been investigat- ing conditions say that a plot of ground suitable in every way can be
 secured short distance beyond the
 Crooked bridge three miles from Val deg. The ground is high and would
 be free from the ravages of the gla- cial streams, but would require con- siderable work to clear it of the tim bers.
 If the plan under consideration is brought to fruition it is planned to clear small portion of the ground of timber and togerect fence around it to prevent the graves from being
 trampled by horses or cattle.
 There are number of fraternal
 societies in Valdez and those inaugu-
 rating the movement for the new cem- etery believe that the expense if di- lvided between the societies and the
 churches cwould be insignificant as compared with the improvement which 1t would work for the conven-
 fence for the living and the respect
 for the dead.
