New Party Held
By “Gloom Squad.’’
Prisoner Frank Higgins fainted early
this morning, but he was immediately
revived by the “dynamite special'' phy
sician. Dr. Gundelflnger.
A midnight New Year’s stag party
was held by the "glooms squad" on
board the "dynamite special" last
night. Bombs, horns, bells and wine
were lacking, but coffee flowed like wa
ter. man drew a big red apple or
orange from Marshal Schmidt's larde
and a b.avu attempt iu<« made by b 1
travelers to be inert y.
Many of the men made New Year
solutions, probably with a greater dr
gree of sincerity than ever resolutions
were made before. All the prisoners,
together with the 4-1 guards, five news
paper men and seven others aboard the
train, arose exactly at midnight and
with uplifted tin cups tilled with coffee
toasted in the New Year and also re
membered Marshal Schmidt.
Lunch boxes were then unpacked and
most of the men ate heartily. Th.
menu consisted of minced cheese, ham
sandwiches, potato chips, raisin caki .<
and two kinds of pie. Cigars and ciga
rettes followed. Cigars and cigarettes
were also distributed at the noon and
evening meals. All the prisoners re
belled at taking Herbert H. Hockin fm
u seat mate, but Richard Houlihan, of
Chicago, drew him and was forced to
make the best of It.
"If I had had a lawyer of my own I'd
got twelve years,” said Frank Webb, the
New York prisoner who drew six years
and remained silent for most of the
trip.
“Well, if Judge Anderson doesn't
chase that bunch of lawyers out of that
court room they’ll bring us all back I
and give us ten years more,” added Ed- !
ward Smythe.
One Counts His
Conviction Fortune.
"That's a swell recommendation those I
lawyers are getting," piped up George
"Nipper" Anderson, the quiet prisoner
t rom < 'lew land.
"Well, it.- u good thing Im going i<>
prison; this is the hist shirt I've got to
my name,” said Sniyllu.
t.tlaf A. Tveltmoe, "bell cow" of the
I erd, had a hard time making Ids "store
tie" hapg on the collar button, and aft
• . losing It several times, put it in his
pocket tor revenge. Inch by inch he
bade good-bye to his liberty and sat
ifiedltatlng throughout the entire trip.
He puffed at Ids big meerschaum pipe
and cheered greatly when told of the
existence of a library for the prisoners
at the penitentiary. He seldom smiled,
but always took a handful of cigars
when passed around by a deputy.
Frank M. Ryan.' sentenced for sever;
years,.looked pale and ghastly, and slept
most of the way to Leavenworth.
, Frank Painter, of Omaha, is another
broken man.
M hen the first batch of cigars was
passed around through the courtesy of
the marshal, Smythe shouted,
“Who's sending these around, Hock
in?" Then he added: "You act like a
lot of Irish on an annual excursion."
When the trainmen mounted the roof
of the cur to till the water tanks lu
said: "Hmm body's planting some
**oup* (nitroglycerin)."

P air of Indians Receive, 100, at White House
TAFTS GREET THRONGS
j WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. -Instead of
■ the single, lime-honored reception of
thousands of |iersmw by President and
Mrs. Taft at tile white house, there
were two receptions in the executive
mansion toilaj. President and Mrs.
Taft presided over one of them, while
Skookemworshee and Jomachee, ,jw<>
Kltikak Indians from Vaneouter, 13. C.,
held the other.
Th® two Indians appeared in front of
the white house at an early hour lodar ,
and were among the first of the eight
thousand or more persona admitted to
the white house grounds. After shak
ing hands with the “great white fa
ther" and receiving his “sincerely thank
you" in reply to their greetings, the two
rod men took up position on a piano
bench near the exit from the east room,
and there held an impromptu reception
of their own, shaking hands with evert
one going In and wishing them a “hap
py new year" in Kltikak.
Today’s reception, the last of the Taft
administration, w as a record breaker as
to numbers and speed. I'or the tlrst
time In the memory of present white
house employees, the first of the "com
mon people," who had stood for hours
outside the white house, were admitted
twenty minutes ahead of schedule. This
was due mainly to the small number of
military officials In the city.

distinctive stamp.
Several bundles of unsealed mer
chandise were slipped through another
slot than the one he guarded, with the
ordinary postage stamps affixed.
The clerks in the mail room then had
the weary duty of examining these
packages, to see whether they con
tained matter which really was fourth- I
class matter. Most of them did, and
were not delivered, because the dis
tinctive parcels post stamps were lack
ing.
Very little parcels post matter was
sent to tile central office from the sub
stations in the residential sections of
tlie city.
Expect Bigger Business.
The use of the new wrinkle in the
mall service, altogether, was not so
great as had been anticipated, although
the fact that it was a holiday, and that
the business houses could not make
good on their threat to swamp the
service at the outset, was taken into
account on this score. Thursday, it is
expected, the volume of business will
be double that of Wednesday.
Th, railway mail service, of which
branch G. W. Pepper is superintendent,
will be guided by circumstances in
handling the parcels post business. At
the jirst, Superintendent Pepper an
nounces, no extra clerks will be put to
work for the new rervlce, and an effort
to handle the pai-'Ts post without an
additional force will be made.
However, if necessary, he says, the
working force will be enlarged to meet
the demands of the new traffic.

Hitchcock Sends
First Package
WASHINGTON, Jan. I.—A silver
loving cup sent from Postmaster Gen
eral Frank Hitchcock to Postmaster E.
M. Morgan, of New York city, at mid
night maiked the advent of the new
year. This is the first piece of mail
sent through the mails under the pro
visions of the new parcels post law',
which became effective today. At the
same moment the service was opened
for business in every postoffice in the
United States.
The cup, as an emblem of the inno-
I vation of one of the greatest institu
tions of the postoffice establishment,
will be suitably engraved after its re
ception by Postmaster Morgan and de
posited in the national museum, -where
the postotilce department now keepsits
relics and cups.
The postmaster gene, al paid for the
27 cents worth of stamps affixed to the
package, which weighed about two
pounds. Seventeen cents was for teg
ular postage and ten cents for "in.su. -
ance”'or registration.
Postmaster Genera! Hitchcock, ac
companied by officials of the depart-:
ment, was snapped by the camera and
moving picture men as the first parcel
was mailed.
At the same time the postmaster of
Philadelphia was mailing a gift to
President Taft, In the expectation that
it would have the distinction of being
the first piece transported under the
new law. .
The parcels post will transport arti
cles up to eleven pounds, suitably in
cased and not exceeding six feet in
length and girth combined. Under the
system the country is divided into
zones and the minimum zones rate will
be five cents for the first pound and
three cents for each additional pound
to any point not exceeding 50 miles
from the office of mailing. The rates
increase for each successive one of the
eight zones, the maximum rate being
twelve cents a pound, which will carry
a parcel across the continent or to any
of our possessions.
The second Insured parcels post was
mailed this morning by John C. Koons. |
chief of division of salaries and allow- I
anccs of the postoffice department.

TO MISSION
KUSH BORROW
Joseph Van Holt Nash will be com
missioned adjutant general of the state
of Georgia tomorrow.
Governor Brown obsetyed the New-
Year’s day as a holiday, and did not
visit the executive department today.
The impression is general that the re
tiring adjutant general, William G.
Obear, will accept the generous tender
of the quartermaster generalship, and
remain in the department, although
this is contingent upon some details not
yet altogether cleared up as to tile re
organization of the office under Gen
eral Nash.
Great pressure has been brought to
bear upon Obear to accept the commis
sion tendered him by Governor Brown,
particularly from among the military
men of the state; and ft is well known
that the governor would be pleased to
have the present adjutant general re
main in the service as quartermaster
general, as that is a position the gov
ernor believes Obear particularly well
fitted for.
If Obear should decide to leave the
state’s aeti'e military service, he will
go out as a brigadier general on the
retired list, which, under the present
law’, be would be entitled to do.
In all the circumstances of the situa
tion today, however, it looks as if Obear
Is to remain in the active service of
the state It is known that he lias in
contemplation some reforms and pro
gressive ideas in organization and ef
fectiveness that he would like to see
carried forward, and if he can remain
in the service, without embarrassment,
either to himself or the administration
his friends think he will decide to do s o'

34G miles of road, paved with macadam
3'4 miles and paved with asphalt 7'ri
miles, costing in all $230,550.
