the loyal federal troops under Gen.
Juan Andrew Almazan marched
into Jiminez today owe streets lit

animals.
The rebel loss was not officially
estimated but otherwise was ex-
pected to run nearly to 1000, with
the federal casualties considerably
lighter.
Burial squads Immediately were
put to work. hut it was expected it
would be several days before all
the bodies were found since the
fighting took place yer a wide
territory.
JimineZ Not Damaged
Despite heavy bombing from the
air and Smelling from artillery,
Jiminez itself was but little dam
aged. The fact that the federal
fire was remarkably accurate and
concentrated chiefly on the OUT
skirts saved most of the better
buildings in JimincZ. Many adobe
buildings were knocked down.

FREE RURAL MAIL
IS q YEARS old
Farmers Enjoyed Services Of
Accommodating Delivery Men

Exactly - years ago last Tues
day the rural free delivery Of mail
was put into effect at the local post
Office. The ms, alla,ion of this sys-
TEN gave residents within a radius
Of six or seven miles of the post
office chance to receive their mail
as well as people on streets near
the center of the city.
Two horses and teams were Sc
cured by the post office and its
service was literally brought to the
door of the people. Postmaster Judd
was in office al the time and was
great booster Of the new system.
Carriers Ibellc and Rowlcy were pu.
in charge of the rural route.
Like Travelling Pe<ltllers
In the delivery wagons the car
riers carried stamps, postal cards
and envelopes which could be pur-
chased by anybody on the line Of
route Travelled. The carriers also
had registered letters and parcels.
:.iying the sender receipt for the
same. Money orders We're also car
ried along the route. AS both ear
ricrs were bonded officials, no loss
could occur TO the patrons. This
| scr,i c" was given every day but
Sunday. The carriers managed to
reach each house or stop or their
, route about the same time each day
so that the housekeepcrs were al
ways on the alert when the mail
man was due.
| Routes self Supporting
This new system proved to be a
great success. The postal receipts
increased and the routes paid for
themselves 10y the additional bust
ness they brought IN. More letters
were written and received and more
, papers and magazines subscribed
for. II WAS also claimed that the
/ value OF farm lands reached by thn
/ rural delivery advanced in value TO
Better prices were obtained for farm
products because the producers
were brought in daily touch with
the state Of the markets and We're
thus enabled 10 take advantage ot
the information heretofore unat.
tainable.
library Service
The carriers brought books from
t|l. pui,lc library along on their de
, livorins and Il small sum was
charged to their patrons for th'
service rendered. This relieved the
nonotony OF farm life through
ready access to wholesome litera
'nrn. Carriers were not prohibited
from performing private commits
sions for the accommodation o
their patrons SO long as " did no
interior" with the proper and regu'
lar performance Of their duties
Most of the people on the rura
m%il delivery routes took adva ntagt
OF the opportunity to have impor
tant matters taken care Of by the
carriers when they returned to ths
city.
Carriers left the Office at S O'CLOCK
and the patrons received the same
delivery as was served by the cit,
carriers on their morning trips.

SUIT FOR DIVORCE
RESULT OF RAID
Mrs. John B. ShoWaIter's Ac-
ton Names Gladys jenkins
Correspondent.

John B. Showalter, president of the
Showalter Realty Co, was sued today
for an absolute divorce by his wife,
Madeline E. Showalter, 1903 Sixth
street. Gladys Jenkins is named as
correspondent.
The suit is filed as an aftermath of
the arraignment of Showalter, the
jenkins girl, Robert w. Karla and Vir-
ginia Gam in Police Court some days
ago on a statutory charge and threats
preferred by Mrs. Catherine M. Karla,
who later filed suit for an absolute
divorce from Robert w. Karla. The
four defendants asked for jury trial
in Police Court.
According to the petition of Mrs. Sho-
walter for the absolute divorce, she was
married at Alexandria, Va, November
/, 1921, and separated June 80 last. She
says Showalter was former pre- hibition
agent and when he left the service OF
the Government was worth $4,000,
while she is in i'll health and unless her
husband is required to pay her alimony
she will be thrown on the generosity OF
her family. She declares the separa-
ton resulted from cruelty of the de-
fendant and from information that he
was keeping company with the core
spondent. She also tells the court OF
the arrest of Showalter and the other
three defendants in the Police Court
case.
Her husband, in her absence, visited
her present home, the wife states, and
removed her trunk and personal posses
sions. She was unaware of their where
abouts, she asserts, until some of heI
clothing was found in the apartment
where the quartet were arrested Decem-
ber 9. Attorney j. Frank Kelly and
Cornelius Doherty appear for Mrs. Sho-

Suit for Divorce Pending.
A suit for $500,o00 brough. against
the former boxer by John H Fogarty,
one time Fort Worth plumber, who
charged that Genes promise to wed his
wife Influenced her to obtain a divorce
from him, Is pending.
Mrs. Fogarty charged that Tunney
proposed to her in Hot Springs, Ark,
June 8, 1925. She accepted, she said
but she found later that he had a
change of heart.
Tunney was in Italy when the suit
was filed, but he answered through
counsel, denying everything. He also
charged that the woman had twice
been bought of" when she threatened
to sue him.

BOARD OF PAROLE
! SUGGESTED HERE
System of Indeterminate Sen
tences Also Urged for

A move to enlist public support fol
bfe proposals for creation of board oi
parole for Washington and institution
here of system of indeterminate SEN
&enceS for prisoners, except those con-
Ficted Of certain major crimes, was
started yesterday, when the matter wa;
laid before the committee of the Wash
fngton Chamber of Commerce on police
and fire protection and public safety.
The proposed measures have been in
NorSed in principle by members of the
Board of Public Welfare of the District
and by the local Federation of Women's
Clubs, and were brought to the atten-
tion of the chamber for consideration
by Miss M. Pearl Mccall, assistant
United States district attorney, who is
chairman of the chambers committee
On legislation.
Committee to Make Study.
Charles J. Stockman. chairman of the
public safety committee, was empowered
TO appoint q special subcommittee to
make a study of these proposals and
the penal system here. and to make an
early report for consideration.
The need for the indeterminate SEN
eence plan was urged by George S. Will
son, director of public welfare; Miss
Mccall and Michael M. Doyle, former
Judge of Police Court here.
Lieut.. Nina Van Wrinkle, head Of the
womans bureau of the Police Depart
xnent, and Capt. M. M. Barnard, super
1ntendent of penal institutions OF the
