FORMER GIRL WATF
GETS SIS, 900, 900

New York.-The unknown founding
of an East side hallway, little more
than twelve years ago unwanted and
unloved, became the richest girl Of her
age in the world with d fortune of
$S00O,0OO.
BY the will of her foster father,
Warner Mifflin Leeds, brother of Will
liam b. Leeds, the ''tinplate king"
which was filed here, this child in
herits the bulk of an estate estimated
at more than $4,0O0.000.
And scarcely two years ago she re-
ceived $4000,000 from her foster moth
er, who plunged to her death from a
window in the Leeds home after a
nervous breakdown
The new rich girls origin is I'M
known. On the last day of January,
1913, a policeman took to Bellevue
hospital little bundle of pink-and-
white humanity which had been given
him by Greek woman on his beat.
The girl, she explained, had been left
on her doorstep.
In the foundlings' ward at Bellevue
the baby was christened Katherine
Kennedy and denominated a Baptist.

Trade Thriving in u. S.,
Hoouer Tells Cabinet

ington.-American business is
booming, outstripping that of all other
nations which took part in the war, ac-
cording to reports made by Secretary
Of Commerce Hoover to the cabinet.
The report was received with graft
fication by the President and his execu-
tive associates who believe the outlook
for prosperity is excellent and who
think that the American record augurs
well for a gradual Improvement In
economic conditions abroad.
The outstanding feature of the re-
port was the record of exports and i'm
ports for March, figures so impressive
that the President could not restrain a
desire to make known his qualification
concerning them.
The President pointed out to his ad-
visers that when these export and i'm
port figures were reduced to the same
values in dollars and cents as pre-
vailed in prewar prices, they showed a
volume of American business so per
cent larger than in 1914.
No other country, the President
pointed out, had been able to show so
good a record.

FRENCH CABINET is
FORCED TO RESIGN

Paris.-Premier Herriots cabinet,
sore beset for many days, fell Friday
night after a duel of words in the SEN
ate between it's chief and former Pre-
mier Poincare.
rejected by 156 to 134 on a vote of
confidence, the premier led his min
lstry Immediately to the Elysee palace,
where he rendered his resignation to
President Doumergue.
The vote overthrowing the govern
ment was taken shortly before nine
o'clock. Among those casting ballots
to reject Herrlot was Alexandra Mil
lerand, reelected to the senate FIVE
days ago, just in time to take revenge
on the premier for the maneuver that
cost Millerand the Presidency of
France when the new ministry as
sumed power last June.
The country's present political neces-
sity is for ministry which would in
spire public confidence and persuade
the public to make great financial sac
rifces through taxation, as we'll as to
persuade holders Of government bonds
not to demand reimbursement of the
more than 1S.0OOyO0O,OOO francs falling
due this year.
The fall of the ministry naturally
nullifies the much-discussed capital
levy project, and new revenue-raising
projects either must be decreed by the
new ministry or legislated later.

REVISED POSTAL
RATE SCHEDULE
Increases, to Cover sos, 000,-
600 Wage Increase, in
Effect Now.

Washington. - A comprehensive
statement was issued by Postmaster
General New on the increases in pos
tai rates, effective April 10, which are
required to take care of the advance
in postal salaries, amounting to APP
prOXimately $6S0O0,0OO year.
80 far as the rates on frst-class
mail are concerned" Postmaster Gen
eral New said, there are no changes
whatever except in the case of private
mailing cards, including souvenir post
cards, on which the rate is increased
from l to 2 cents each. Post cards
issued by the government, however,
will continue to be sent for l cent
each.
The rates on second, third and
fourth-class mail have been increased
In certain contingencies, but this in
crease is very slight and will not work
any hardship on the mailing public.
The excess revenue will provide In
creased compensation for the post
Offices army of faithful employees"
Other Revised Fees.
With the change in the rates on
frst-class mail matter, as outlined by
the postmaster general, the other
changes effective April Is are as fol-
lows:
ON second-class mail, newspapers,
magazines and other periodicals con-
tanning notice of second-class entry,
the rate for the public is 2 cents for
each 2 ounces up to ounces, and the
fOurth-claSs zone rate plus q 2-cent
service charge on each parcel over 8
ounces This does not include certain
increases in rates for publishers and
news agents.
On third-class mall circulars and
other miscellaneous printed matter, as
well as merchandise, the rate is IL
cents for each ounces up to s ounces.
The rate on books, including cata-
lOgues Of "a pages or more, seeds, cut
tings, bulbs, roots. scions and plants
Is l cent for each ounces or fraction.
Fourth-class Changes.
On fOurth-class (parcel-pos) mail,
the same matter, weighing more than
. ounces, Is handled in third-class
mail. The limit of weight is 20 pounds
in the first, second and third zones,
and 90 pounds in all other zones. The
present pound rates in the various
zones have not been changed.
A service charge of 2 cents in
stamps, TO be affixed to packages 10
addition to the postage, has been i'm
posed for each parcel, except those
collected on rural delivery routes.
The act of February %, 1925, offers
new and speedier service Tor parcel
post which mailers may or may not
purchase at their option. This new
service is designated special ham
ding" service.
Practically speaking, this means
that parcel post is to be handled, not
as parcel post customarlly is handled,
but as first-class mail. Its particular
advantage applies mainly to handling
en- route to railroads and other trans
pOrtation facilities between the post
office of dispatch and the post office of
destination.
1t must be carefully distinguished
from the special delivery" service,
where the chief advantage applies
after the arrival of mail at the post
office Of its destination.
For this special handling of mail, a
charge of 20 cents will be imposed.
