ference that wears him out as the
social attentions. which he would
honestly like to escape, but which he
is too good natured and friendly to
be able altogether to keep at a dis
tance. Not only as regards Mr..
Wells. but as regards the other for
eign correspondents and delegates.
Washington's determination to show
our guests how much we like them
and to further the atmosphere of the
conference by friendly attentions
may have been a little over done
Nevertheless. everything is 60
ing all right. Before the conference
opened, one of the foreigners said to
m. 'Mr. Hughes made one mistake
that no British statesman would
have made, in that in making his
preparations for the conference he
failed to include a good long vaca-
ton for himself Since then this
foreigner and many others have had
the opportunity to see Mr.. Hughes in
action, and / don't believe they feel
that he is in any need Of vacation.
The pace that Hughes setss his COM
plete understanding of exactly what
is needed, and the perfectly urbane
clarity of his mind are. without any
doubt the largest eliment in the
speed and success of the conference.

Mail Pouches Under Repair
Account for Missing Mail

An explanation of why in many
cases that letter never came IS be"
lieved by Postmaster General Hays
to have been found in the revelation
that an average of seventy pieces of
mail is found daily in empty sacks
and pouches sent to the mail bag re-
pair shop in Washington.
About 5000 sacks are received
daily at the repair shop and of these
something like one out of every 100,
according to figures furnished Mr..
Hays, is found to contain a piece OF
mail ranging from registered or
special delivery letters to fourth
class parcels. Considering there are
100000 sacks and nearly 100000
pouches used in the postal service,
about 100000 of which on an aver
age are stored for periods running
from months to years, Mi. Hays be-
lieves a search will possibly bring to
light much mail matter unaccounted
for.
The Postmaster General has sent
out an order to all points where the
sacks a"1 rou"hes are stored for an
lmnCulhtc .hSpGctlpn anu SliaNiilS
down OF each in order to ascertain
if any &c :;in mail. Such mail II
found VIII be specially marked and
forwart-,l so that the addressee may
know the cause Of the delay The
order also prov :. that Postmasters
are to be held strictly responsible
and must see that every sack in the
future must be thoroughly inspected
before it is cast aside.

PROBABLE CAUSE FOUND
IN LARCENY CASE FRIDAY
AT THE MUNICIPAL COURT

Herbert Butler Pleads Guilty to
Charge of Larceny Of $50 from
James L. Garnett and 10 Bound
Over to January Term Of the Su-
perior Court
The mystery of the sudden disap-
pearance of the sum OF $53 from the
room OF James L. Garnett at the Y.
II. c. A. building was solved by the
confession made by Herbert Butler
of this city, who was arraigned Fri
day morning before Judge Robert A.
Cony at the municipal court and
pleaded guilty to the charge OF lar
ceny. Judge Cony found probable
cause in the case and ordered the
respondent to furnish bonds in the
sum Of $50 for his appearance at the
January term of the Kennebec coun-
ty superior court. Butler failed to
secure the bonds and was committed
to Jail to awair the convening OF the
court.
Ii appeared that Butler In company
with two other fellows had called on
Garnett at about 4.30 Thursday morn
ing at his room at the "Y" building,
apparently for the purpose of borrow
ing some money from him. Garnett
was in bed, and after some little talk
with the fellows they went away.
Carnett had noticed that Butler was
acting a little peculiarly in the room,
and after they had gone he went to
where his clothes were and discover
ed that the roll Of bills amounting
to s53 was gone.
Garnett quickly went down into the
hall OF the 'Y' building and found
that Buffers companions were there.
but that Butler had gone. One OF the
| fellows said that he had seen Butler
with his hands in the pocket Of Gar
nett's trousers. Butler little later
returned to the "Y" building, and de-
MED having taken the money. He
was taken TO the police station, and
some time later after the money had
been found by Deputy Marshal Will
I liam Corbett in a pile of leaves at
the rear of the "Y" building, Butler
confessed his guilt.
| Butler gave brief testimony at the
| hearing yesterday, saying that he
had been drinking and that it hao
made him irresponsible, to such an
! extent that he did not know what
he was doing when he took the roll of
bills.

West Point Modernized

! Today at West Point the cadets
are allowed liberties which if they
