Warrant Out for OXman

SAN FRANCISCO, April ia
warrant for the arrest of F. c. Ok
man, cattleman from Durkee, Ore,
was issued today charging suborna-
ion of perjury, in the trial of Thomas
J. Mooney, sentenced to hang May II
for bomb murders here last July.
Mooney was one of five persons in
dicted for murder. Warren K. Bel
lings, the first to be tried, was
sentenced to life Imprisonment for
murder. Oxman was expected to be
an important witness in the trials of
the remaining trio, as he was in that
of Mooney. He did not testify in the
Billings trial.
From the start, counsel and adj
herents of the prisoners have insisted
that evidence had been manufactured
in the cases, and some testimony in
tended to develop this was offered in
the trials.

Oxman Arrested

San Francisco, April 1S.-Oxman
arrived here last night. Rigall ar
rived this morning.
Oman was arrested and his bail
fixed at $1,000 cash or $4,000 bond.
Rigall brought in the names of
District Attorney Fickert and Ed
ward Cunha, assistant prosecutor, as
having had knowledge that he was
to testify falsely to support Oxman's
story.
Rigall, in his statement to Chief
White, detailed conversations he had
with OXman after his arrival here
January during the Mooney trial in
response to letters and kilograms
from Oman.
"All you have to do is to say you
saw me in San Francisco July %"
OXman told Rigall, according to the
latter.
When the warrant for Oxman's
arrest was asked by Judge Brady a
representative of the district attor-
neys office opposed it's issuance.
81 want to say to your honor"
said Thomas O'Connor, attorney for
the bomb defendants, chat the dis
trict attorneys office is a party to
this conspiracy"

U. S. POSTOFFICE
is MAKING PROFIT

A San Francisco newspaper has
made the discovery that the China
postoffice is making good, but shows
lack of information concerning our
own postal affairs. The San Fran
cisco Statistician says:
Americans, used to the continual
deficit from our postoffice, will be
surprised to learn that the Chinese
are making their system pay its own
way and give a profit to the govern
ment.
Accounts for the year 1916 show
a surplus of $1,0OO,OO0. The Chi
nese are going to keep 100000 in
the capital account. The remain
ing 100000 goes to the governments
help.
"China established her postal adj
ministration in 1896. It's first work
ing profit came in 1915. Thus, with
in 20 years from its beginnings, the
postoffice has made itself self-sup-
porting.
"While China has but one post
office to every $4,000 souls, the Unit
ed States has, roughly, five to each
10000"
But he failed to find out the fol-
lowing which is gathered from the
annual report of the Postmaster Gen
eral for the fiscal year 1916:
The fiscal year of 1915, due to adj
verse conditions over which the de-
partment had no control, showed a
deficit of $11,333 ,3O7.97; but the
audited revenues for 1916 showed a
surplus of $5,829,236.O7 Although
the audited revenues do not COM
pletely represent the financial results
OF the year, many payments to rail
roads and contractors remaining to
be made after the close of the year,
the sum of $5,200,000 was turned in
to the treasury. The total payment
to the treasury during the last four
years was $12,500,000.
The reports of the POstoffice De-
partment by decades from 1900 to
1900 inclusive showed deficits, except
the decades ending 1900, 1910 and
1850, which showed a small surplus.
totaling $409,556 Reckoned in year.
ly periods, from 1904 to 1912 inclus-
i've, only one year 1911 showed a
surplus, $23O,897.
Of the last four years one, 1915,
showed deficit of 81, 297, 861, for
the reason stated above. The other
three years showed total excess of
receipts over expenditures of $22,-
454, 442. Thus it will be seen that
under the Burleson administration of
the Postoffice Department it has
been operated, not only better than
ever before since it's establishment,
but at profit to the government.

War for Democracy at
Home AS Well AS in
Foreign Lands
Continued from Page II

Gus load of debt and insecurity for
generations to come upon the people.
The emphasis of all public thought
and feeling of genuine patriotism will
now be upon this issue of democracy
and liberty. 1t was such groups of
workers and fighters as the Welsh
miners and their equivalent groups
in the other countries of Europe who
threw such safeguards around liberty
as still prevail in the war stricken
countries of Europe. The miners
answered the unworthy taunts of
English employers at the beginning
of England's participation in the war
by saying that they would work with
out wages if the employers would
give their coal without compensation.
1t was the Seamen's Union of Great
Britain who showed from the Of
fetal shipping records that since the
war began the freight charges on
wheat into the country were from
two to three times as high as the
value of the wheat itself.
Our own previous wars have at
tested the shameful fact that great
fortunes are. founded by the exploit
alton of the people in war. The
enormous fortunes made in America
in the supply of munitions to the
European belligerents are further
proofs that greed uses war as well
as peace for its plunderings. The eff
forts of banking interests to place
great and enduring debts upon the
producing classes to pay for supplies
sold at enormous profits are furth-
er warning of what this country will
encounter unless the counter efforts
of labor and those who stand with
labor shall make their power prevail
in Congress.

WHAT It COSTS TO
PRODUCE A SOLDIER
Nv John G. MciIett,

Washington. Sept. 27.--It cost.
more to make a soldier in some parts
of the United States than 1t does In
others.
This may sound queer to the lay.
man, who thinks that because Uncle
Sam buys supplies at uniform prices
for all parts OF the country, and pays
the same salaries everywhere, SOL
diers should cost no more In one
region than In another.
The highest per capita cost in turn
ing out soldiers Is S162. You'd never
guess where this price obtains. New
York. your choice? Guess again,
Michigan and Massachusetts,. with
Camps Custer and Devens respective
ly in the national army are tied al
the high mark.
1t is cheapest at American Lake,
Wash. where Uncle Sans soldiers
cost him only $142 each.
Here is the way the sixteen can

These figures are part OF a budget

No special effort was made to ex-
plain the difference In the per capita
cost of the new soldiers. but other
figures submitted clear the mystery.
MANY Of the set expenses are identi-
cal the country over. but others vary
widely,
No great difference is seen in regu-

such items as water ana sewers,

STEALING THE HERITAGE
OF THE FUTURE

There is nothing clearer than that
heredity plus environment determines
the quality of life.
Heredity consists of what is in
herent in the germ The germ is a
thing apart in the body. unaffected by
those influences which bestow ac
quired characteristics upon the indt-
vidual. But the germ must receive
its nourishment from the blood and
thus the heredity OF the individual is
directly affected by any deleterious
substance constantly introduced into
the blood
TIE germ seems to be more sus-
Iceptihle TO injury from the chronic
drinking of alcoholic liquors than
from anything else. tuberculosis may
affect 1t and often does. but autopsies
frequently reveal that the influence
of this disease is often successfully
resisted Malaria sometimes creates
a deterioration in the germ substance
if II is permitted to become chronic
But these considerations are of rather
small Importance.
No one, however, can use alcohol
over term of years. no matter how
"moderaie,,. without -edistinc.ly affect
ing the quality of the germ .plasm
and infiicting upon his offspring an
inferior heredity. Alcohol is one of
the few substances which can dis
tinctly and greatly affect the Inherent
capacity of the parent to bsgst faulty
