POSTAL BILLS GIVEN
THE RIGHT OF WAY
Bills to Empower Postmaster General
Are Given the Right of Way in
Congress Today.

Washington, D. G. - Several bills
pertaining to the postal service,
among them measure giving the
postmaster general wide powers to es-
tablish and maintain air mail routes
had right of way today in the House
AS a result the naval appropriation
bill taken up yesterday, was laid aside
for the day.
Chairman Griest of the postoffice
committee, who had authority under
the rules to call up proposals given
committee approval, planned to bring
up first a bill to prohibit Transports
tion of firearms through the mails,
and then to plunge into the air mail
question.
One of the measures reported by
the committee and pending on the
calendar would authorize the postof-
flee department to operate whatever
air routes the postmaster general saw
fit. The extent of the service to be
limited, however, by appropriations
from Congress. Another proposal
would empower the postmaster gener-
al to contract for air mail delivery,
the routes to be operated in addition
to or instead of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
lines.
A third bill in line for considera-
tion would authorize extension of the
trans-continental air mail service from
New York to Boston. Committee mem
bers, however, said passage of this
measure would not be necessary if
either of the other two mail proposals
were enacted.

extracts and I thought it was within
the law" declared Matthias tackles,
proprietor of soft drink parlor in
the town of Brighton, when he was ar
raigned this morning in the municipal

says has far too much alcoholic con-
tent to be within the law, was seized
along with guage, said to be used

flavoring extract and that he never
knew it was contrary to law to have
a guage of the kind seized.

ant Prairie, was in court to enter a
plea of not guilty to charge of hav-
ing liquor in his possession, which

Scholey and Ray Mcneil.
The case is based on small quan-
tity of liquor, alleged to be the re-
mains of ginger ale high ball which
Constanble Scholey found woman
drinking at one of the tables in the
tavern. She said she had ordered
ginger ale; the test, it is claimed. has

ABSOLVE DRIVER
IN CHILD DEATH
Coroher's Jury Finds Carl
Miller Blameless in Death
Of MarkOwitz Child.
IT WAS UNAVOIDABLE

Carl Miller, driver of the automo-
bile which killed Adelbert Markowitz
the three-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs
Albert Markowitz, 1861 Prairie ave-
nue., in front of their home on Mon
day evening, was absolved from al
blame in connection with the death OF
the child by the verdict of the cor
oner's jury called to hear the circum-
stances surrounding the tragedy at ar
inquest in the municipal court on
Tuesday afternoon.
The jury Heard the testimony of two
persons before they reached their YER
dict and after this evidence was re-
ceived the facts which led to the find
ings were obvious. No one has been
found who saw the accident or who
can shed any light on the tragedy
aside from Carl Miller and Albert
Markowitz, father of the accident vic
tim, both Of whom testified at the
inquest.
All Within Minute.
Albert Markowitz told the jury that
he had just driven his car into the
garage and had his son with him al
the time. He entered the grocery
store which he owns moment later
believing that the youngster was fol
lowing him. A moment later, he said
Carl Miller came into the store with
the lifeless body of the child in his
arms. With the exception of a stream
of blood that came from the child's
nose nothing was noticed that could
excite any suspicion of what had hap
pened, The body was not disturbed
otherwise, he said. Markowitz could
not understand how the child could
have wandered out into the street.
Carl Miller testified that at about
seven-thirty o'clock on Monday even
ing he was driving his car out to Lin
coin park to go skating on the ice
pond there. He told how he was driv-
ing south on Huron street and had
just turned east on Prairie avenue
when he felt light thud in the car
as if he had struck something. He
stopped the car within ten feet, he
said, and rushed back to find the body
of the child. Miller picked up the in
jured boy and brought him into the
grocery store, not knowing that here
were the parents of the boy. He told
them that the child was hurt and ask
eds them to call doctor. DR.. 0. w
McClusky was summoned but before
the physician could reach the home the
child was dead.
Saw Nothing in Street. !.
Miller repeated to the coroner's jury
what he had told to the police immed-
lately after the accident. He declared
that he saw no one in the street and
he insisted that he never saw the
Markowitz boy until after the acct
dent.
Following this evidence the jury re-
tired to deliberate and within five
minutes returned the verdict declar-
ing that "said Adelbert Markowitz
came to his death on the fifteenth day
of December in the city of Kenosha
county of Kenosha, state of Wiscon-
sin, through injuries caused by being
struck and knocked down by an auto
mobile driven by one Carl Miller
from which injuries the said Adelbert
Markowitz then and there died. And
that the same was accidental, unavoid-
able, and not otherwise"
The coroner's jury consisted of B.
W. Turk, Joseph Cassidy, E. G.. Nc
Dermott, Rasmus Petersen, M. D.
Schmitt, and w. L. Hensel.
