Can you point out BENJAMIN r..
Fogle in this court room" Volpc
was asked by Assistant United

Fewer Cards Being Mailed
sThe result of the increase in
the postcard rate, to cents has
had the effect Of largely reducing
the number OF postcards carried in
the malls and as a consequence the
expected increase in revenues from
postcards has not been realized, !"
said New.
Explaining the proposed C. o. d.
postcard, New said:
s.Such legislation would authorize
him (the Postmaster GeneraD to
accept for transmission in the mails
business reply cards under condi-
lions prescribed by him at postage
thereon at the regular rate for
postcards and an additional post
age charge OF not more than Q
cents on each card to be collected
on delivery to the original mailer.
Provision s. made for safeguarding
the compensation in allowances to
the various classes Of postmasters.
Il - estimated that such & system
win result ia q material increase in
postal revenues, and furnish an
other postal facility OF special inn
portance and advantage to the
public"
Where Postage Il Short
New recommended the following
change on first-class matter with
deficient postage:
Il the postage is short only one
rate the deficient postage only shall
be collected. but IL short more than
one rate the deficient postage and
an additional charge Of cent for
each ounce or fraction shall be scol-
lccted. This. he said. would stop
the practice Of mailing heavy first
class matter with deficient postage,
and thus cut down operating ex-
penses.
Because the rates on third and
fourth-class matter have approx
mately produced the results expect
ed, New recommended no changes
in these classes. Neither did he
propose q change in registry, insur-
ance. collect-on-deliyery, return re-

dom, he seems to come to the conclu- sion that he, despite his huge bulk and great physical strength, can not cope with mans superior skill. In most cases he quickly accepts his fate, becomes doeile and learns read fly. the tasks he is taught to perform.
 Lions, tigers. leopards and-other members of the eat family, the apes, which include rillas, chimpanzees, orang-outangs and gibbons. and many other highly animals, sell dom thrive in captivity if captured after they are full grown. "Fortu- nately," says Mr. Hornaday, "such captures are very rare and sometimes not more than five per cent of the whole number of zoo animals"

than the States, for the climate is in ferior to that of California; there are better grain lands in the Northwest; more coal in Pennsylvania; and other similar comparisons to the Northern Territory may be made. y
 He then compared the Territory with Finland and Sweden, giving fig ures for the various resources, and said:
 Ut shows that the area of Alaska is three times that of Sweden and four times that of Finland. If we compare the agricultural lands, we find there are much larger areas than in either Sweden or Finland. You will notice also that the mineral re- sources are larger than those of Northern Europe. It has water power comparable to either Sweden or Fin land A careful study of this table will convince anyone, from the stand point of both resources and climate we are justified in believing that Alaska will maintain population per square mile at least as great as that of Finland. In fact, we may conf dcntly expeeJ that the time will come when Alaska will support popula- ton Of 10,000,000 people"

CAPTURE OF WILD
 ANIMALS DEPLORED

Any hunter or amateur collector who has=visions of gaining renown by capturing wild animals and present ing them to some zoological collection well may take a second thought be- fore setring out upon the project. Of the capture of adult wild animals for exhibition purposes William T. Horn aday,. veteran zooiogist and director of the New York zoologicat. gardens, has decided opinions. In his newest book, 4 Wild Animal Roand-Up," recently issued, Mr. Hornaday4 makes the following emphatic statement:
 T trust 1 have said enough to con- vince every amateur animal man of the positive individuality -of- ptur- ing adult wild animals for geological park purposes. Such animals are un- welcome gifts, uncomfortable tenants and aH-around bad risks Their wild ideas of self preservation and inde- pendent subsistence naturally and in .evitably unfit them for the artificial life of public exhibits. It is unfair to bring into captivity an animal that fights against it until it dies. A hu- mane keeper deplores the sight and the company of an animal that really pines for the wild home from which it was taken by force. With the cage reared young animal it is quite differ ent.'
 Some kinds of animals accept cap tivity with much better grace than others; even some individuals of the same kind are more amenable to changed conditions than are others. Reptiles, being less highly organized than many other forms Of animal life, reconcile themselves ouitep readily to "Every tortoise, writes MT. Hornaday, accepts captivity as if Ire loved 1t and had been waiting for it to come along" On the other hand, the snapping turtle is suspi- .cious, retiring and dangerous if it gets an opportunity to bite.
 Of the mammals the elephant, espe- cially the species found in India, has the most philosophical turn of mind regarding captivity Usually after a few days of confinement, during which he fights valiantly for free

 GIimdte Is Mildef
 Had the Pilgrim Fathers settled, at Sitka, Alaska. instead. of at Plymouth, they would have found milder climate. better soil and timber, and more game, furs and fish. Indeed, pioneer : life in Southeastern Alaska was so much easier thanson the New England coast the question might be seriously rassed whether the hardy. enterprise of Puritan stock might have been de veloped under these more favorable conditions.
 Alaska. discovered when George Washington Was.s still a boy, was first settled at the close of our Revolution. The Russians found their trans Pacific colony difficult to administer and fully recognized is militar2 weakness in time of war, Therefore they gladly accepted Secretary Stewards offer of ST, ,200,gOO for the supposed polar land and surrendered 1t to lis. in 1867. Rurs ;)nfy Precinct
 During the so odd years of Rus sian occupation the Territory yielded nothing but furs, and, indeed, no source of wealth except fufs was be- lieyed to exist. For many years we held the same opinion. The country was so generally assumed to- be a 1 barren polar waste othatff for quarter of century no real administration of 1 it's affairs was undertaken. It. was not until the great stream of placer gold from the Klondike loca ted in Canada, near the Alaskan gorders stirred the world that the ptlblic he gan to realize that~our northern pos session might be of value. This was in 1896, since which time we have gained most of our knowledge of ] Alaska.
 'The Ametiean people have, iul my opinion, been rather fed up on the ads venture and hardship supposed to characterize all life in 4 -AlaaszT~ It is indeed, true that no other part of the continent has witnessed any. great dis play of endurance. and heroism than that involved in the exploration and industrial development of our North ern Territory. Yet, in the emphasis on the dramatic phases of Alaskan l life, it's industrial significance, which is of, much greater importance, is often entirely neglected. Be it re- membefed that less than one-third of Alaska can, by location and vegeta ton. in ary sense be classed as a polar land, and even this part is not without value ts the thman race Most Afaskans obtain their first view of polar adventures in tbe moving pie tures."

BUS FARE INCREASE
 MAY BE UN0PP0SED
Weld to Attend Hearing on Jerome Street Line
 Boost

Mayor Weld will attend a hear ing before the public utilities com mission tomorrow morning in Hartford at which Fred Romani, operator of the Jerome street bus line. will present his arguments in support of a two-cent fare increase, and if the arguments appear to be sound, the city will not go on rec ord as opposed.
 Last year when the bus opera tors sought a one-cent fare in crease A. M. Paonessa, at that time mayor, and several representatives of the city governments argued successfully against the boost.
 Mayor Weld explained this after noon he has not had sufficient in formation to base an opinion on the subject and he will go 10 the hearing with an open mind. He has had little information and prefers to wait until the operator has pre- sented his case before attempting to decide whether he should off cially oppose.
 Romani now charges six cents fare on his route, which is one of the longest in the city. He requests permission to increase the fare to eight cents.

LOWELL CANDIDATE
 KIDNAPPED TODAY
J. w. Mahan Taken by Four Armed Men in
 Closed Auto

Lowell Mass. Nov. 15 Rl-John w. Mahan, policeman candidate for mayor of Lowell. whose principal against so-called bootleggers and grafters, was kidnapped from his home early tod by four armed men who forced him to enter closed automobile.
 Entrance to the apartment was through window from which heavy iron grill has been removed. Mahan, who stands six feet four inches and bears the reputation of fearless fighter, "as unable to put up Q battle, his wife said, because of the surprise attack. The police who were called by Mrs. Mahan, found no clue to his whereabouts.
 As the hours passed today and no word came of her husbands fate, Mrs. Mahan expressed anxiety for his safety. While she admitted that it was possible that the affair was hoax. she declared that she had no reason for believing it 10 be one. If 1t was joke, she said, 1t was "a pretty serious one" The election will be held tomorrow.
 MT. M, han. who had been on a two weeks lea of absence during the campaign, returned home at .12:3O this morning. Fifteen minutes later, Mrs. Mahan said, she head a crash. Men voices said: Come on. we want you" and then she heard her husband calling her name. She hurried to answer her call but said she was only in time to see four men apparently pushing and pulling MT. Mahan across the street where they thrust him into an automobile.
 The cord the telephone was cut although the instrument actually had been out of order before last night. A ladder in g nearby alley led to a flat roof which reached to the window from which the grating was shipped away.
 Mir. Mahan had served much of his time On the force in districts where there were several well organized gangs and where there was much police work to do. During his cam paign he had made charges against the liquor squad and others. Brib- cry was included in the accusations that he made.
 A meeting at the Memorial forum Is scheduled tonight where Mahan and nine other candidates, accord ins to city custom, have been sched- uled to present their views.
