World War Tnterlude

Weary from the pursuit OF a
group of bandits in Santo Domingo,
ten u. S. Marines reached a clear
ing in the forest and paused before |
advancing farther into the thlcket. |
1t was in August, 1918. when an
attempt to restore some stapillty OF
government to the republic had be-
come mere interlude, overshad-
owed by events of the World war.
Most of the marines had hoped to
serve in France, and they found
that hunting Dominican outlaws was
comparatively dull. Besides, the
days search had proved fruitless
and it was nearly shutdown. A ma
tive woman approached the group
and invited them to rest for a while
in her house, while she proffered
the use of her stove to prepare
their evening meal. The tired ma
rines gratefully accepted.
Hardly had they seated them
selves to eat before warning shot
crashed through a window. 1t was
followed instantly by a desperate
encounter, both bandits and sea
soldiers clashing in a handto- hand
conflict
The surprise attack had been
planned by the bandits who had ar
ranged the hospitable overtures OF
the woman as ruse to lead the
marines into an ambush, and then
had stealthily surrounded the house
before the occupants were aware OF
their presence.
Hopes for a bandit victory van
ished quickly when they found they
had stirred up a veritable hornets
nest. In the ensuing struggle only
two marines were wounded, while
the enemy's causalties amounted tc
; approximately 81 killed and wound
ed, including the capture of sew.
eral horses and weapons. The own.
er of the house, responsible for the
attack, was taken prisoner.
Many similar contacts with out
| laws were made by the marines II
/ the West Indies during the Worle
war. Far removed from more spec,
, tacular happenings in France, the
stories of these encounters became
merely routine entries in officla
files.

SILVER JUBILEE
OF PARCEL POST
Has Had Rapid Growth,
Says Postmaster
Simpson

Inc growth or the parcel post

stories OF American business,
having developed from volume
of some s2,1G0,0O0 yin its first
year of 1913 to S150,00O,O00 for
the 1888 fiscal year, it was stated
by Postmaster Thomas NJ Simp-
son in connection with the cele-
bration of the silver jubilee Of
parcel post now in progress all
over the United States.
When John Wanamaker, fam
Gus Philadelphia merchant, in
augurated the system by mailing
the first package to President
William Howard Taft. he set in
motion mechanism that has
played vital part in the present
day economical distribution of
merchandise, Postmaster Simp-
son declared. Wanamaker, as
Postmaster General under Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison. 1898,
was the leading business advo-
cate of Parcel Post.
In its first full year of opera
ton. the parcel post system
handled 36.3O3, 1000 packages with
total weight of 4S,173, 600 pounds
and revenues were s2,119.00O.
The average weight per parcel
was around one and one quarter
pounds.
For the 1898 fiscal year the
number of pieces of parcel post
total approximately 00,0OO.0O0
weighing 3.50OOO0,OO0 pounds and
bringing in revenues of $40, 000-
600 or 10 per cent Of the total
postal revenue. Average weight
per parcel was approximately
five pounds with an average cost
of 10 1-3 cents.
Cleared into the system of dis
tribution are ASST post offices,

/. Honesty Respects Property
Rights tExod. 20: 80.
The very commandment against
stealing implies that men have
right to that which they have made,
earned, or saved. If no one had
property rights there could be no
stealing. Some of our modern isms
reason along that line, but their
reasoning is clearly not biblical or
Christian.
Thou shalt not stear' forbids ev-
cry kind Of theft. 1t includes rob-
berry, burglary. safe cracking,
housebreaking; but it covers far
more than those obvious wrongs. 1t
refers to such things as loafng on
ones job, borrowing money from
the cash drawer, taking goods from
the stock with which one is working,
stealing another mans sermon and
preaching it as ones own, lifting"
material out of another mans book
without credit, contracting debts
which one can never pay, using
false weights and measures, adul-
terating food or other material
watering" milk for sale, selling
worthless stock, lodging taxes or
lying to the tax assessor, using
slug instead of nickel in the tele-
phone to escape proper payment.
1t really means something to be
honest, and it is a great testimony
to the mregenerate world.

INSANE COLORED MAN GOES BERSERK

Ionia, Mich., Dec. l4E(UP)-A 20O-pound insane Negro went ber- serk in the violent ward of the Mi- chigan State hospital today, club bed another patient to death, and seriously injured two persons.
 The Negro, Robert McNeary, ST was at his daily chore of drsting a 60-pound oak chair in a hallway on the top floor of the hospital when he suddenly wrenched a leg from the chair and ran into the room of Leon Cantor, 36, another inmate.
 McNeary struck Cantor several blows on the head, fracturing his skull. Then the Negro. who is more than 6 feet tall, dashed into the hospital barbershop where he killed patient Stanley Kraskowski with a single blow.
 Returning to the hallway, Mo Neary was confronted by William Jorgenson, 22, an attendant. Swing the chair leg like a baseball bat McNeary knocked the guard uncon. scious.

 The pertinent paragraph in this instance is as follows:
 Equally prominent politically and equally active as a lobbyist was Harry E. Mackenzie of Bethel. Dur ing the 1885 and 1897 sessions, the income from his lobbying activities amounted to approximately $5o,000, which sum included the $14,600 re- celved from the City of Waterbury. Apparently in most instances Mac kelizie was the recipient of distri- button from others, it being his practice to conceal his financial in- terest in the passage or defeat of legislation.
 "In relatively few instances did he make any distribution out of the sums received by him from others. During both sessions he was active in behalf of the Druggists Associa- ton and at the same time was re- ceiving a salary of $500 a year from McKesson.

ly were "leaks" as to the route of the parkway, Kemp asserted:
 Tn many instances the land own CTS would know more about what was going on than I did"
 It was almost impossible to keep secret the route, he said, because the line had been staked out by highway department engineers as early at 1928.
 Without Creamer's Knowledge
 Whatever information was. obtain ed by land owners, he testified, was secured without MT. Creamers knowledge or mine"
 Warren M. Creamer was project engineer in the highway department when most of the sales were con- summated and was commended by the grand jury for his part in the parkway construction.
 Creamer, who preceded Kemp on the stand, said former Commis- sioner Macdonald had issued in- structions to both himself and Kemp to obtain the land "at the lowest possible cost"
 "Was that your effort in every instance?" he was asked by de- fense Counsel John Keogh.
 T hope so, he replied.
 He said he was unaware that Thomas N. Cooke, Greenwich, and Samuel H. Silberman, Stamford, two real estate estate broker indict- ed with Kemp, sad been involved in the transactions until they were called to testify before the grand jury last evening.
 Cooke and Silberman were wit nesses for the state and admitted dividinfi commissions with Kemp.
