has the tender under advisement. It is understood he will reach a decision early next week. The offer of the place to Mr. Cromer was made by First Assistant Postmaster-General Hitchcock, who "O. K's." the president's

( recommendations for postmasters at t presidential offices. The appointment j of Cromer would be agreeable to. j members of the Indiana delegation

in congress. The office pays about $3,200 a year, and . Cromer's friends feel that it would in four years put

him on his feet financially. The term of David Lambert, the ' present postmaster, will expire early j in March. Several men have aspired to the office since it became general- ! ly known that Lambert would not be

reappointed. It is understood that

Cromer hesitated to accept the office because some of his friends would

like to have it.

Superintendent Bailey is working hard on his annual report, and will probably complete it late this afternoon. Among other things the report

will show that during the year of 1906, seven persons were sent to Jeffersonville, while four went to the Michigan Sity prison for larceny. A large number of arrests for this crime were made during that period, but in the majority of instances they received jail .sentences. Besides these cases a large number of boys were gathered in for petty stealing, and either released on promise of future good behavior or placed in the Plainfield reform school.

BIRTHDAY WAS OBSERVED

"Here's the case of a fellow who was just about as lucky as any man

fell into the hands of the police. Instead of breath

ing the air of freedom as he doubtless is now if he is In the land of the living he ought to be doing time in the reformatory at Jeffersonville." Superintendent Bailey made this remark as . he looked from his annual report, which he now has in the course of preparation. As he cave utterance to the remark the head of the police department pointed to the name of Ed Wilson, and continuing said: "That fellow, whom we learned was a dangerous crook, was brought in, in January, 1906 for breaking into a Main street saloon, and carrying off a large quantity of slock. We had him dead to rights, and he was convicted in the circuit court on a plea of guilty. We were dead certain that he was good for a few in Jeff, but a few days later he employed a lawyer changes his plea, and gets $3 fine and forty days in jail for petit larceny. It was an awful sad blow to us" concluded the superintendent with a sigh.

House Gets Into Very Sharp Debate Over Taking up of Western Lands.

It was amusing yesterday to note the actions of many of that class of citizens who are in the habit of indiilging In alcoholic beverages. Al though the papers had announced the issuance of an order by the police department requiring the closing of Richmond's 47 saloons, because of a recent decision by the supreme court holding that Washington's birthday to bo a legal holiday, a number of bibulous inclined individuals evidently having forgotten this fact almost pulled the doors off In their efforts to gain admission to drinkevies in various parts of the city. A look of amazement would overspread their contenances until it gradually dawned upon them that the "lid" was on good and tight. Patrolmen did their regular Sundaj "plain clothes stunt" all day long, but were not called upon to arrest any liquor law violators. There is probably not in the city of Richmond a saloon keeper bartender or porter who is not familiar with the face of ever y member of the police department, and the plan of putting them out on the streets on lecal holidays and

j Sundays with the idea that they may

be enabled to catch any offending dispenser of intoxicants Is to say the least very funny. There is no .doubt the order to close was strictly obeyed throughout the city, although many saloon men were disposed to criticize the action of the authorities. "It Is the first time in the history of the city that we were compelled to shut up shop on Washington's birthday," said one of them yesterday afternoon, and "he added, I would be willing to bet that there isn't another town of any size in the state where an order of this kind is being enforced. But what's the use of kicking, we're up against it here in Richmond, and have to grin and bear it."

A very pleasant commemoration of the birthday of Geo. Washington was enjoyed by the Christian endeavorers of the city last evening in the chapel of St. Paul's Lutheran church. The hall was decorated with bunting and man large American flags and presented a bright aspect. Among the enjoyable features of the occasion were: Selections by St. Paul's orchestra. Vocal solos Miss Ruth Harris. Reading from' James Wnitcomb Riley, by Miss Mabel Kuhn. As refreshments, cookies and cherries were served, the. cherries representing the fruit plucked from the tree which Washington shopped down with his little hatchet. As favors,

each endeavorer received a red or a blue hatchet. On the whole, the sociable was a decided success, and the societies of the local union can now say that they know each other.

IPublishars PresJ Washington, Feb., 22. The house became engaged today in a sharp debate on fraud in the taking up of homestead lands in the west. In the sundry civil appropriation bill under consideration is an item of $250,000 to provide for the special enaction of

entry of lands as set forth in Presi

dent Roosevelt's famous land order of January last. Representative Burke of South Dakota introduced an amendment that there should be no investigation of no entry unless there shall have been filed by July 1, against the entry some charge of fraud or non-compliance. Mr. Mondell, (Rep. Wyo..) introduced a substitute for Mr. Burke's amendment to the effect that no investigation be made into a final proof against which no complaint has been

filed.

HANDFUL OF SURVIVORS WHO CLUNG TO THE RIGGING THROUGH BITTER COLD AND SNOW.

Publishers" Press. Rottera, . z. When daylight broke a handful of survivors ol

the steamer Berlin from Harwich tc Rotterdam, which was wrecked of the Hook of Holland, co'ild still b seen clinging to the after part of th steamer. Efforts to rescue the sui vlvors were baffled for hours b. furious seas and a heavy snow-stern so that tues and lifeboats were un able to approach the wreck, ove which mountainous seas continued tc dash with terrific fury. So intenst was the cold that it was thought thos still alive on the remnant of the wrec must freeze to death, but 10 person who survived the terrible experience of 24 hours were brought to short steamship line, who was on his wr Friday afternoon. Captain Parkinson of the Hoi to' Amsterdam on board the Berli to join his vessel, the Myrmidon after he reached the 6hore. said th catastrophe was due to the fact tha the Berlin broached to in the terrifi sea as she was entering the water way, and before she was able to rf cover herself she was dashed on th pier head, immediately "crunched u. like a concertina," and parted amid ships. The straggling little village of th Hook of Holland is filled with anxiou relatives of passengers and crew o the Berlin, and heartrending scenes are witnessed at the improvised morgue, where bodies washed ashore are taken. In most cases the bodies are battered beyond recognition, some are without heads, and others without arms or legs.
