NEED OF MORE CARRIERS POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT, IT IS ASSERTED, NOT READY TO MAKE INCREASE POSTMASTER TAKES UP MATTER. Although as yet there has been no official announcement given, to the public It Is understood that the postoffice department at Washington has for the present declined to give the Richmond poRtofflee ' additional city carriers, despite the fact that It lis very evident that additional help Jin this department Is needed. Early In the week I Inspector Fletcher was here conferring with Postmaster Spekenhler relative to the local conditions. Though Postmaster. Spekenhler has been in office but' a short time he has not, been long In acquiring a knowledge of the workings of the office and it Is said he firmly believes that additional carriers are needed to properly serve the patrons. When this has been more forcefully demonstrated to the department, as It will be by changes that must result, there is no cuestiaon that more carriers will be put on. To Redlstrict City. It . Is asserted that all of the carrier districts in the city will now be changed In order that the present limited force may cover the field. This will result In some parts of the city and Its environs now served, being entirely put out of service. For Instance the city carrier forces have been serving partons in Spring Grove Easthaven Hospital and certain sections south of the city that are Just without jthe corporation limits. This will have to be entirely cut out from now on. Postmaster Spekenhler has the hearty cooperation of the carrier force In the work of redlstrictlng the city and the work will be quickly done.

FEW CASES OF MEASLES EPIDEMIC NEARING END Have Been 250 Cases in the city During the Summer but no Deaths Have Resulted Disease Was Mild In Form. Nearly 250 cases of measles have been reported in Richmond this summer and there has not been a death from' the .disease. According to the health-office records measles appeared lu 82 homes in the city limits, and from one to five members of the families were 'afflicted. The average number to a household was about three, which would put the total number of cases, close to 250. As a rule the attacks of measles this year were exceedingly mild. At the present time there are but a few houses "carded" showing that the epidemic has spent itself and Is in its final stages. Died in St. Louis.

L DR. DAVIS STAY IN PLACE Good Record at Health Officer Indicates He May Be Retained. HAS HAD UNIQUE RECORD UNDER MANY ADMINISTRATIONS HE HAS HELD HIS PLACESAME THING ON STATE HEALTH BOARD. One of the interesting phases of the Incoming Democratic a'dministration of municipal affairs in Richmond, is that of the city health department changes. Men prominent in the affairs of both the Democrats and Republicans are asking one another whether Dr. T. Henry Davis, the city health officer and also president of the Indiana State Board of Health, will be permitted to hold his place by Mayor-elect Schillinger. An Unusual Record. Dr. Davis enjoys a distinction which is not paralleled by any health officer in Indiana and perhaps in the country. For more than thirty years he has served continuously as the health officer of Richmond. There have been changes in the administration and efforts have been made time after time, by some of the members of the medical fraternity to see that Dr. Davis be unseated, but to no avail. It is the same in the State Health Board. Dr. Davis has served longer than any other member. He has twice been president of the body and under Democratic as well as Republican governors he has held his place. Opponents Always Floored. During all of these years it has never been possible for opponents of Dr. Davis to. show that he has been otherwise than highly, efficient. Richmond's excellent sanitary condition and the manner in which epidemics of disease have been successfully coped with, are achievements which have been the secret of Dr. Davis' keystone hold on the place. It is deemed likely that Dr. Davis will be selected to again serve as health officer although It Is no secret that there are other doctors who would be glad of the opportunity to serve the municipality.

ENDEAVOR ONION WORK NEW PLANS ARE OUTLINED Paid Secretary Will be Placed in the Field Change Made in the Manner in Which Funds Will be Raised in the Future. A paid secretary of the Indiana Christian Endeavor Union is to be put in the field to do special work. He will be assisted by Miss Florence Lanham of Indianapolis, the present secretary. The Union will endeavor to increase the scope of its work and make more actU'e progress, Clarence Case, pastor of the South Eighth Street Friends church, and Professor Elbert Russell, of Earlhani College, trustee of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, have returned from a meeting at Indianapolis, where action in regard, to the employment of the secretry was taken by the advisory board. The field secretary will visit every district in the state in the effort to strengthen the work. Miss Lanham will become an unsalaried assistant. She will continue to assist in the work, however. A change was decided upon in the method of raising funds. An assessment will be levied on each society for its share of the expenses of the district work. The present plan of personal. pledges by individuals will be abolished. A policy of greater publicity will be adopted. Bulletins will be Issued at regular intervals in order to give the exact and detailed information regarding the financial condition of the organization and nature of the work. A CHANGE OF ATTITUDE WEED CUTTING NOW EASY Property Owners Abide by the Wishes of the Health Department and Few Complaints Are Being Heard at Present. A rather remarkable change in the attitude of people toward the existing city, ordinance regulating the cutting of weeds has been manifested this season, according to John Seaman, deputy city health officer, who declared to the Palladium yesterday that instead of meeting with continued refusals upon the part of property owners to cut weeds, there only is a case here and there where the or der is not immediately obeyed. Under the provisions of the ordinance the city health department upon ordering a property owner to cut weeds need onlr wait a short time to see whether the order will be obeyed or not. Then the health officer may proceed to cut tae weeds and the city must pay the costs, the supposition being that the property owner will be taxed up with this expenditure. Deputy Seaman states, however, that though much money was spent by the city last year under the ordinance, that few, if any property owners were taxed. Things Different Now. "This year" said the officer, "notices to mow weeds are received by property owners with a show of respect for- the city ordinance and almost immediately the" weeds are removed. There probably has been less trouble than ever before r.nd it is due to the thorough understanding of people generally that weeds not only constitute a nuisance but are a positive menace to public health. For this reason most property owners are glad to help along a good cause." Miss Julia Neal is at Greensfork the guest of her nncle George. Hoover.

THE HEW SYSTEM F Automatic Telephone Exchange Likely to be Installed by Home Company. EXPERIENCE OF COLUMBUS LOW RATES GIVEN DESPITE THE COSTLY EQUIPMENT SOME FIGURES THAT WILL BE OF LOCAL INTEREST. According to information received by the Palladium yesterday an effort is being made by a number of the patrons of the Home Telephone Company to persuade the management to adopt the automatic central station, on the ground that service will be greatly improved and will in fact reach a stage of perfection that it is impossible to acquire under the present exchange system. It is said that the management of the telephone company seriously contemplates the adoption of the system and most of the members of the board heartily favor it. In this connection the Palladium hag received a communication from a Richmond man who is anxious to see the automatic system installed. It is as follows: Editor Palladium: It was stated by the Richmond Home Telephone Co., a' few weeks ago that they would make an investigation of the Automatic Telephone, with a view of Installing same in Richmond, provided it was a success in the other cities where used. One. of the largest cities in the country equipped with this most modern of telephone systems, is Columbus, Ohio, and the following information regarding same will be of interest to all telephone subscribers in Richmond. The Columbus Citizens Telephone Co., was incorporated in December 1898, and began operating paid service in August 1900. The original installation provided a switchboard with a capacity of 5200 main lines. There were less than 200 telephones in Columbus when this switchboard was planned, and the capacity was thought to be sufficient for a long period of years. In less than three years the capacity was exhausted. It then became a problem of expansion, which is peculiarly difficult to solve in the telephone business, because under old forms of construction additions could not be made to the original switchboard. Expansion meant the use of party lines, the establishment of branch exchanges, or an entirely new switchboard. The directors of the company were opposed to party-line service, and it was not thought that Columbus had reached sufficient size to necessitate the slowing up of service by 'branch exchange additions. A new switchboard was therefore decided upon. After careful investigation of its merits automatic telephone equipment was chosen. For outside work a much larger proportion of cable distribution was laid out, lines were shifted from streets to alleys, and more than 200,000 feet of duct was added to the underground system. The automatic switchboard has an immediate capacity of 8000 main lines and is capable of indefinite expansion and at the present time the company has In use on its Columbus exchange S256 telephones, for which the follow ing rental is charged, viz: Business places, $10 per annum. Residents, $24 per annum. Extension phones, $12 per annum. THE CITY IN Bl Teetn extractea wiyFut pam or co charges. C. J. MAftjenhall.
