PARCELS POST [TAFT
'isHH
Officials Hopeful That
Congress Will Pass
the Measure.
Alonzo Brand, of Atlan
ta, Named Super
visor.
Beverly, Mass., Aug. 10.—President
Taft has served notice that any man
employed In the taking of the llth
census of the United States who en
gages In politics In any way will be
dismissed Immediately from the serv
ice.
At the same time announcement was
made of the appointment of 111 addl-
tyathlngton, Aug. 16.—The official!
,of the postofflce department are hope-
' ful that congress next winter will pass
i several bills now pending before the tlonal supervisors.
' house committee on postoffice and Supervisors For South
postroads to establish a parcels post.
The demands of the parcels post
. comes principally from patrons of ru-
j ral free delivery, and It would be of
! most beneOt to rural population and
I (mail towns.
Thousands Indorse Plsn.
The wide publicity given the parcels
; post proposition has resulted in thou-
f sands of letters of Indorsement from all
; sections of the country to the postmas-
' ter general, begging him to. Impress
■ the Importance of this mattsr on con
j gress. During the special session re
, cently ended there was hardly i
' member In the house but who re-
,‘celved petitions signed by hundreds of
I his constituents asking for tha enact-
! ment of legislation that would give
! them the benefit of a parcels post.
There were also numerous petitions
1 protesting against such legislation.
iThosa petitions came mostly from the
1 small country merchants, who alleged
that the creatloii of a parcels post
"would mean bankruptcy for many of
■ thorn, as It would give a monopoly to
the large department stores of the
; cities. The small country merchant Is
backed up In his opposition to the par
cels post by the express companies.
'.The latter are bitterly opposed to It.
It will be recalled that former Sena
tor Platt, of New York, several years
ago opposed the enlargement of the
postal service In this dtrectlon, and It
Is believed that hut for his opposition
Initial legislation might have been had
at that tma
Rapid Progress Shown.
Statistics, gathered by the postoffice
department since the estabUslimeiit nf
tree rural delivery, show a rapid prog
ress and growth of the sections Im
mediately after the establishment of
that system, and hence It follows that
the parcels post would unquestionably
add to the attractiveness of suburban
life, thus helping to relieve the conges
tion of the cities.
Nearly every civilized country has a
parcels post of some kind. Another
point made by the postoffice officials Is
that a parcels post will not only be self,
sustaining, but would yield a handsome
revenue.

Boston, Aug. 16.—The advance of the
Red army of Invasion in the war game
today has been checked. While the
main body of Invaders was at Mortons
Corner on the Mlddleboro road, mount
ed outposts of the Blues reported by
Held telegraph that the enemy had been
sighted.
The advance of the Reds was tem
porarily halted while a reconnoltering
party of signal men and New York and
negro cavalry moved westward rapidly
toward Myrlck. seeking a favorable
opening for a flank movement. This
portion of the Blues sighted by the out.
posts of the Reds may have been the
advance guards of the Second and
Third battalions of the Ninth Massa
chusetts. which are - near Mlddleboro
village or Four Comers.
This position of the Ninth Is regarded
as the key to the defense at present. An
attack Is expected at this point at any
time today. Orders are to hold this
position at any cost.
The arrival of the transport Sumner
with coast artillery to reinforce the
Boston harbor forts has relieved anxie
ty of the fort commanders, who fear a
sudden attack of the theoretical battle
ship fleet of the Reds, which Is reported
as having moved northward up the
coast. All night long searchlights from
Fort Banks and Fort Heath at Wln-
throp and from Fort Warren, Fort An
drews and other harbor defenses were
used to detect possible approach of this
fleet.

Rome, Aug. 10.—The Duke of Abruzzl
will never marry Mias Katherine El
kins, the American girl to whom he was
reported to be engaged. This fact may
be stated positively If court reports are
to be believed. Plane are already under
way for the uniting of two of the royal
houses of Europe by the marriage nnd
the Uuke will be a parly to this coall-
lion. Plans have gone forward under
the personal supervision of King Victor
Emmanuel, of Italy, for the marriage of
the duke to a princess of the royal
house of Russia,
Jt developed today In court circles
that the royal match not only has the
sanction of King Victor, but that he
virtually promoted the match. The de
tails will be arranged when the king
nnd czar meet on the latter's coming
visit.
A court attache today gave out the
Information that the Duke of Abruzzl
has been recalled from India, where he
has been exploring In the Himalaya
mountains, that he might help welcome
the cznr of Russia when the latter
comes to visit the king of Italy. Cable
grams today bore out this assertion.
Even now, nccordlng to the Information
from the Orient, the duke Is hastening
to Bombay, where he will take a steam-
er for Italy.
Court circles ore moro surprised at
the king's Insistence that the duke shall
ally himself with the Russian royal
house than at the developments them
selves, ' which have made the match
known. It had generally been supposed
that King Victor was not directly op
posed to the Abruzxl-Elklns match.
The family of the Duke of Abruzzl
are said to be very much pleased at the
proposed matrimonial alliance, even
nslde from the Interest displayed In It
by the king.
An Italian woman of title, a member
of a very old Italian family, who has
the ear of the king In euch affairs, de
clared today that the plans for the
match have been going forward for
some time.

Decline in Receipts and In
crease in Secret Agent
Salaries.
Washington, Aug. 16.—The percepti
ble decline In receipts from the Inter
nal revenue taxes, which has been
noted for the past several years. Is due
chiefly and principally to prohibition. It
was said at the treasury dspartment
today. While the falling off In revenue
Is mostly conflned to the states that
have prohibition laws, a notable In
crease Is marked In adjacent states
where liquor Is sold without restric
tion. The Internal revenue has also
suffered by a falling off in special
licenses In the prohibition states with
out any corresponding Increase in
communities where prohibition or local
option does not prevail.
There has been no material reduction
In the coat of collecting Internal reve
nue, but on the contrary the expense
has Increased. The Increase Is due to
the employment of secret agents In
running down the frauds practiced In
the prohibition atatea. The records
show that where prohibition Is en
forced “blind tigers." "speak eaeles,'
•bootlegs," "travelers’' and various
other schemes are used to beat not only
Uncle 8am, but in defiance of the etate
laws.
Juat now the prohibition wave la
strong In the South and there are Indi
cations that as an Issue in Texas It will
split the state In twain. Figures ob
tained by .the Internal revenue bureau
do not show any decrease In drunken
ness In the prohibition states,

CROP MO ONE
Poor Outlook Is Reported
Flora State of Mis
sissippi.
Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 16.—The week
ly cotton crop summary of The Com
mercial Appeal today says:
"In practically all of the territory
east of the Mississippi river there was
a marked Improvement In tho condi
tion of the cotton crop. The showers
that fell were moderate and beneficial.
The plant Is small, and still late, but
la growing nicely and Is well fruited
for Its size. Many correspondents note
that the prospective yield Is better than
was at one time thought possible.
‘Jn this territory conditions are beat
In Georgia and South Carolina and
poorest In Mississippi. Rainfall was
scattered and deficient In Arkansan and
Oklahoma. There are section! where
no rain has fallen In Are or six weeks,
and the plant la shedding, but while
thle la true other sections of these
states have had rain and prospects are
fair.
"Rains In Texas were frequent and
rather general during the week. The
crop Is on the road to Improvement
and If these rains are supplemented
during the coming weeks by further
precipitation, the crop outlook will Im
prove materially:
"Rains have retarded opening of the
bolts and as the plant Is growing rap
idly, picking will not become general
for fully two weeks yet.
