RECORD GAIN FOR RDEIP7S AT P.0. Doing ratst Business in Its ktory, Says CoWleS
 MohE. ORDERS ON RISE.
chttian Endeavor Delegates Re-
 rn From Convention-Man Ar rested For Breach of the Peace In the Churches of Berlin-Items.

During the quarter just past the Kensington post office showed a 20 per cent increase in receipts over the corresponding quarter last year, establishing a record for business which beats any other quarter in the history of the local office. in- cluding that in which the Christmas holidays occur. In other words, the Kensington office did the biggest business in its> history.
 The receipts for the month of June showed an increase of 3S.5 per cent over those of the corre- spending month last year, which beats the record for any single month, with the exception of last December.
 The post office is showing a ra- pid growth and its volume of busi- ness is astounding, in view of tie dull times. Postmaster Sidney Nj. Cowles states that the growth in business is attributed partly to the IdCt lAdI thC IOSdl loStoIlC dl v iC ceiving a large number of small or ders, the products being shipped by mail, rather than by freight or by express.
 The money order department is growing beyond all reason. Post master Cowles stated today that it Is hard to believe that the office does s5,0o0 money order business each month, but that such is the fact.
 The office became Second Class in 1923 and at that time it was doing barely enough business to be ad- mitted as such. But at the present time 1t is surpassing even the wild est expectations and is still growing. The postmaster locks for even big ger results in the future.
 Joint Field Day
 Plans are under way for a joint field day of the St. Pauls T. A. B. society of Kensington and the T. A. B. society of New Britain. The af- fair will be held in New Britain on September 10. if present arrange ments are completed. Athletic con- tests will be featured and there will he many amusing events to please those who attend. It is expected that a street parade will also be held.
 Delegates Return Today
 The delegates from the Kensing- ton Congregational church to the World Christian Endeavor conven- tion at Cleveland, were expected to return home today. The delegates were Sarah Johnson and Alfred Hall representing the Christian Endeavor society, and Marion Hall. represent ing the Young Peoples society.

WANTED MANY
PLACES As An
AUTO BANDIT
Man Caught With Sullivan
Is Believed to Be His
Brother.
OFFICERS ALERT
Federal Men Want Leader
And COmpaiOn On Stolen
Car Charges.

John Golfer Sullivan, husband OF
Dolores, the bandit queen and him
self the leader of the Kelton rob,
ber gang has been positively identi-
fled, according to advices from the
Cochise county sheriffs office as
the leader of the famous Weston
gang of highway robbers and burg
lars that operated in California,
tion was made possible through
statements made Dolores who is in
the custody of Sheriff George r.
Henshaw at Tombstone and through
whose efforts the Kelton gang was
broken up.
That Charles Elmer Walters, the
man who was arrested with Sulli-
van in a northern Arizona city
after they had stolen car there
and attempted to murder a deputy
sheriff. is a brother of Sullivan is
the suspicion of officers working on
the Identification. Sullivan or Wes-
ton as his name probably was orig
lHdllyy Is UdU1Y waited III three OF
four states in connection with the
desperate crimes of the Weston gang
which operated a year ago in those
states.
According to the reports of the
criminal identification bureau con-
nected with statements of Dolores
made to Sheriff Henshaw, there We're
three men and three women in the
original Weston gang. Sullivan has
according to the finger print find
ings at Sacramento, Calf, served q
number OF sentences for similar Of
fenses. Charles Walters, who is
now identified as Sullivan's brother
was sentenced to from 12 to 15 years
i'll the Arizona state prison and is
there now with Sullivan who was
sentenced to Is years for attempted
murder of a sheriff.
That Dolores, the keen, pretty, girl
bandit may be the twin sister OF
Sullivan whom she has claimed she
met in New Mexico but a few months
before the gang was broken up here
is being investigated. The girl has
been very helpful in all of thS
efforts of local officers to uneartf
stolen property and imp1icate mem
bers of the gang but has said little
about her own past. 1t was through
her cooperation and midnight ridt
across the state that thousands Of
dollars worth of stolen property was
recovered at Kelton, some 40 miles
from this city, and T. P. McGinnis
Kelton postmaster, was charged a.
& receiver of the stolen goods which
were found for the most part in thu
postoffice and general store operated
by the postmaster.
Federal officers are now beginning
to take an active interest in tn
case and hold felony warrants fo
both Sullivan and Walters if th
Identification is correct although
these warrants contain the names o
John w. Weston and Ernest Weston
his brother.
Activity in connection with TIL
famous case was revived yesterda,
in local police circles and officer
were out in every direction late to

Great Britain and Japan definitely

ther direct and immediate efforts to
check naval building competition and
France and Italy as definitely OPP
posed, President Coolidge is In a
position to determine with reason
able accuracy the chances of sue
cess with which new attempt on
his part to promote a supplemental
naval agreement may be undertaken
The British reply to the American
five-power conference suggestion,
regarded officially as categorical
acceptance, was made public today
without comment from the White
House or state department.. While
it outlines certain aspects of British
naval policy that must be considered,
it leaves the exact means by which
principles of the Washington naval
treaty might be extended open to
future discussion. 1t also cautions
as to the necessity of careful ad-
justment of the proposed naval
conference with the work of the
Geneva preparatory commission.
Most officials believe that the
matter now has passed into the
realm of informal diplomatic ex-
changes. Possibly these are already
in progress and will be continued
between the delegations of the naval
powers when they resume in Geneva,
March 81, the deliberations of the
preparatory commission should the
Washington government still see
possibilities of overcoming the
I1rc,,cb ond italian ohiactionc If ic
suggested that consideration sound
ing out would be necessary before
any definite move could be made.
Obviously, it was added, no attempt
at a three-power understanding be-
tween Great Britain the United
States and Japan could be launched
until every hope of the more de-
sirable five-power pact had vanished.
