the greatest Christmas season in her
history, according to Charles H Ses-
sions postmaster
The mail 'em early" educational

department has seemingly borne 1rult,
and as result the local postoffice Will
be entirely caught up with the Christ

sions stated There will be mail de-
livery Christmas day, but = viii con-
sist only of mail which is received
after Sunday evening, for mail re-
ceived prior to that time will have
been delivered
Started Earlier This Year.
The Christmas rush started two or
three days earlier than usual this sea-
son. 1t seemed as tho Topekans do
their shopping Saturday. their wrap
ping Sunday and their mailing Mon
day. Twenty extra clerks and five
extra trucks have been added to the
local force.
The auxiliary postoffices at Crosby
Brothers. Pelletiers and other big
Topeka stores found it necessary to
take on extra help also and one OF
the postOffiCe trucks is being used
81 Iely to haul Christmas mail from
these places. Fifty-fIve sacks of nail
We're hauled from eac=l OF these two
big stores Monday.
Most Of the packages now being
MAILED are going to distant points. As

greatest rush of mail from Topeka 20
Kansas points Is expected to occur
Thursday and Friday.
Peak Load Saturday

added today for use in delivering in
coming mail The peak of the mail
consigned to Topeka is expected to be
reached about Friday or Saturday, Mr..
Sessions said. In order to facilitate
the delivery of Christmas packages in
Topeka. a relay system has been
adopted. Trucks are kept busy haul
ing the mail to certain points over the
city. where it may be picked up by the
carriers as soon as their former load
has been delivered This saves the
carriers considerable time. as they do
not have to return to the central office
for their new loads. Altogether, about
twelve trucks are in use by the local
office.
Mr.. Sessions also issued tip for late
mailers. a special delivery stamp on
the late Christmas package will avoid
considerable delay. as ordinary parcel
post packages must go to the terminal
stations at St Louis and Chicago But
a special delivery stamp will carry them
thru direct to their destinations and
prompt delivery will be assured

CANVASS SHOWS
 MAJORITY FUR
 SOLDIER BONUS
Both Sides in Senate Express Satisfaction Over Result
 of Informal Canvass

WASHINGTON, June .19.-Infornal canvasses made by leading opponents of the soldiers bonus bill were said todaN to have disclosed senate ma iority for the measure of practically three to one. This compares with the nearly five to one vote which the bill passed the house.
 Both sides in the impending fight were understood to have found some satisfaction in the result of the can vases. Opponents said defeat of any cloture rule to limit debate on the bill practically was assured, while some proponents pointed out that if three to one majority could be held, there would be the necessary votes to pass the measure over President Harding s veto should he disapprove it, as some opponents contend that he will if pas sed in it's present form.
 Thirty senators were listed as against the amended house bill, with this mum Der possible to be augmented by one senator who is absent from Washing ton, and whose position has not yet been definitely established. Thirty senators were divided, 20 on the Re publican side and 10 on the Democra- tic side.
 !. A number of senators who are count ed now as supporters of the present bill if no definite one can be put through, will join in fight to amend the measure reported by the finance committee. Some of them favor cash feature, with other important changes but the extent to which it will be pos sible to change the pending bill is re- garded now as problematieal.

OIL PROMOTER
 WINS FREEDOM
Jury Returns Verdict oi Not Guilty; Deliberated
 Almost "A Hours

HOUSTON, June 10.-Seymour E. J. Cox, Houston's spectacular oil pro- moter, is free.
 A dramatic close to the trial of the oil man and airplane enthuiast on charges of using the mails to defraud, came late today almost 24 hours after the case was given to the jury, when the 12 men brought in verdict of mot guilty"
 Outside the court house, hundreds of persons tumbled over benches and chairs to grasp the hand of Cox and to congratulate Mrs. Cox, who assisted her husband in all his ventures, and was by his side throughout the trial.
 The first act of the acquitted man was to invite newspaper men to a din ner tonight.
 Cox was tried in connection with enterprises involving paper capitalf- zation of many millions. His defense was that he had been betrayed by men in his own organization, whom he had raised from comparative poverty to highter standards of living. and that the government, acting now as prose cutor. had ruined him through receiv- ership proceedings in the Red River Basin.
 The federal government conteaded that Cox had duped thousands through "the most enticing sales literature ever prepared by any man."

WARD WITNESS {. GIVEN LIBERTY

Authorities Hunt Father of Confessed Slayer; Brother

Cum ningham who is held as a material wit ness today got S2,50O bail for his client
 Cunningham, who was freed after a visit to Justice Platt's home here, made necessary because no court sits on Saturday in White Plains, started at once for New York.
 Meanwhile, the sheriff, his deputies and the lone county detective, rein forced by private detectives, kept plugging away along the admittedly slender lines which have been opened to them.
 They tried to find George s. Ward. father of Walter. s. Ward. and one of the founders of the baking company which carries his name, but if they were successful, they did not an nounceait Sheriff Werner, as usual stayed within hearing distance Of his telephone, hoping momentarily to hear that the lost Rogers and Jackson, last heard of in Syracuse, have been brought back into the picture.I
 The two deputies he sent upstate returned empty-handed, but firm in the belief that if the newspapers had not sent reporters to meet them at the station they would have had theiE quarry. They even slipped back into Syracuse for a moment or twos hoping Rogers and Jackson would return, but they found no trace of their men.
 Sheriff Werner said today that un der advice of physicians. he had tried a mental test on Ward, and that il had worked He explained that when Ward was in his office, waiting foI $50,000 bail to be produced recently he and Deputy Sheriff Maudlin had placed a picture of the victim of the shooting in front of the prisoner, and had gone from the room.
 We tried it twice" said the sher if, "and both times when we returned the picture was turned upside down : That wont help us solve the case, but it makes us believe we are on the right track"

ASSERT RATES PROPOSED WILL
 DEBAR IMPORTS
Democratic Opponents of Tariff Denounce Rates
 as Prohibitive

WASHINGTON, June To- - Asser- tions that many of the rates proposed in the tariff bill would prohibit i'm ports of affected commodities from every country except Germany. were made and reiaterated today in the senate by Democratic opponents of the measure during debate on duties on razors, gold leaf. and other arti- cles. Rates on razors ranging up to an equivalent of approximately 400 per cent ad valorem, were approved.
 Senator Simmons of North Carolina Democratic leader in the tariff fight, said "the idea premeates the who'll bill that We must put in rates to keep out German products without any con sideration they will have On our trade with other countries"
 Arguing that if the situation as to Germany was such as proponents of the tariff bill claimed, Senator Jones, Democrat, New Mexico. said the con- dition there resulting from greatly depreciated currency could not be talk en care of by general tariff rates. He added that many of the duties pro- posed by the finance committee ma jOrity would prove to be "an embargo against England and the other coun- tries"
 Congress is following-a Will O the Wisp, with this tariff bill" said he.
 AS to razors." Senator McCumber Republican. North Dakota. in charge of the bill, said the rates should be high enough to shut out certain grades coming from Germany, and used, he said, as premiums by many American stores.
 Aside from the rates on razors, the senate approved over the minority protest duties of 60 cents a hundred sheets on gold leaf; 30 per cent ad valorem on nickel silver sheets, strips rods, and wire; 1-2 per cent ad val orem on bismuth; 6 cents g. pound on metallic arsenic, and 15 cents a pound on cadmium.
 Just before the senate recessed, af- ter a five hour session, Senator Me Cumber gave notice that a return to night sessions would be necessary un- less the senate applied itself more closely on the tariff

June 10.-CBy the Associated Press) The announce ment that the committee of bankers meeting with Secretary of the Treas ury de la Hrerta hadadjourned their sessions in New York until Monday with no sign of definite settlement of the Mexican financial situation. came as rather unpleasant surprise to the Mexican public. New York cor respondents for Mexico City newspa- pers had been optimistic in emphati- cally stating that the conference would terminate today with Q Mexi- can victory.

Fear For
 Safety of Prince
 of Wales in Cairo

LONDON, June 10.-There is much apprehension here concerning the safe ty of the Prince of Wales, who arrived yesterday at Cairo, the last stop on his homeward journey. with the excep- tion of short visits at Malta and Gi- bralta. Those who are fearful point to the anti-English feeling in Egypt and the recent assassination of for eigners. They criticise strongly the decision to have him visit Cairo, and say there will be a distinct feeling of relief when it is known he is safely aboard the Renown again.
 All messages from Cairo give the impression that the welcome given him by the natives was a cool one.
 The Outlook says regarding the wis it to Cairo:
 "Of all the unfortunate moments to select for the princess visit to Cairo this seems about the worst To eX' pose the prince in the streets ot-Catro under the protection of an incompe- tent police force is to take very big risk without any eompensating advan- tage whatever"

Mir Ward was received with an ovation and his address was interrupted frequently by applause. In beginning his address MT. Ward emphasized the fact that the time for the Democratic Party to be- come unit has arrived and stressed the idea that the desire in Arizona for a change of administration and the placing again of the affairs of the site in the hands of the Democratic Party has afforded Arizon Democrats al unusual opportunity not only to demonstrate the correctness of it's position in state affairs but also to efefct practically reforms of the ut- most importance
