AERIAL MAIL
100 YEARS OLD
Newspaper of 1922 Shows
Postmaster Had Idea for
Transportation.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The idea Of
speeding up the mail service Of the | lt.ted
States by the use Of airpianes was first
conceived more than one hundred years
ago. Postmaster General Hubert Work
discovered in recent inspection Of the
departments files.
While going through the records Of
the Post Office Department shortly after
he assumed his new duties. Work came
across the following editorial, which APP
peared in the Freemans Journal tnow
called the Norristown. Pennsylvania, Her
add Of March /. 1s22:
I'VE would advise the Postmaster Cen
eraI 10 avail himself Of the novel and
very ingenious flying machine. invented
by James Bennett Of Philadelphia. by
which we conceive the mails would be
transported with much more celebrity aud
their arrival ut the places OF destination
be much more certain than is the ease
at present
Commenting upon the friendly advice
Of this foresighted editor of a century
age, Work said: If that was true then
IL Is true today and i wish I might be
able 10 advise this old editor that We
are today using the Aging machine with
splendid results, In transporting the
mails with safety and celebrity"
lHe remarkable development or the
mail service in the past several decades
was strikingly brought out by the dis
coyery in the department. records OF
1888 Of wonderful feat performed In
that year. The feat spoken OF was the
carrying Of mail and news dispatches by
relays OF horses every Eve miles between
Washington and New York in fifteen
hours.
1T created the greatest enthusiasm
along the way the record stated, "as
the rider appeared in cloud of dust
and leaped to the saddle of another
horse" The record referred to the I'M
fortunate death OF one Of the riders on
this trip who was thrown from his horse
Last year, Work said, the departments
air carriers flew more than 100000 miles
in transporting the mails with but one
loss of life. and that occurred on a plane
not carrying mail.

PUNISHED FOR
REDUCING $4,000
BOND TO $1,000
City Prison Turnkey Is Made
PatrOlman for Mis-
take.

Turnkey Dan Logan of the city prison,
who was reported to have permitted Fred
w. Nichols. alleged bigamist, to give
$1,000 bond when Judge Delbert O. Will
meth OF city court had fixed bail at
$1,000, today was reduced to patrolman
by the board Of public safety. The board

mistake in the Nichols case. Nichols
left town after FORGETTING the $1,000 bond
and Is still at large.
Lieutenant Ed Helm was reduced to
sergeant and Sergeant Forrest Rominger
promoted to lieutenant in his place.
Rominger's recent record in apprehend-
ing criminals and the desire to have a
more efficient man in the lieutenancy
caused the change, President E. l..
Kingston Of the board said.
Mrs. Margaret b. Hildebrand was re-
tnstated as a policewoman. She was
one of the polieewomen who resigned
upon suggestion Of Mayor Shank, early
In January, and the board did not re-
appoint her as 1t did a number of 9TH

been brought to bear upon Mayor Shank
and other officials to have Mrs. Hide
brand reinstated, it Is said. Her hus-
band was appointed Republican chairman
OF the Third ward by William II. Free
man, new county chairman, Tuesday.
Patrolman George RUBBISH was tried on
