J-ETTERS'ARE DELAYED

es' of Richmond Bear

No-Numbers.

SERVICE IS HANDICAPPED. Many people of Richmond have registered the complaint that they do not receive their mail regularly and Postmaster Spekenhier states that there is a good reason for this. It is largely due to the fact that many of the houses of, Richmond are not numbered correctly, as is required by the government and delay in delivery is inevitable. .-. According to the local postal officers many of the houses in the city are not numbered in the manner demanded of a city that has a free mall delivery service; There are many houses in town that, have no number at all. At other places the numbers have been painted on-- a strip of tin which has become rusty with age and the figures consequently obliterated; the same is true where numbers have been painted on the weatherboarding. The greatest complaint, however, comes from premises, where the houses have been moved from one part of the city to another and the old number is unchanged. The people living there, perhaps, know what the right number should be. and in giving parties their address have their letters directed to such and such a place. When the carrier comes along to deliver the letter, he cannot find the number of the house written 6n the envelope, and must return, it to the office where it is put among those of the general delivery window. W r ; Another complaint that the postal officers register is against the city. The names of the various streets are not in place on many corners. This is also demanded by the government. Postmaster Spekenhier states this morning that he had informed his carriers to bring all mail back to the postoffice when misdirected. He believes that this will remedy matters to a certain degree. There are a number of nouses in Richmond that need new numbers and many f where numbers should be changed. All persons should visit the city engineer to get their correct street number.

Knox Wilt Not Deny That He Will Enter the Cabinet Nearly Certain That He Is to Become Secretary af StateBurton to Get Reward for Labor for His Party.

Washington, Dec. 17. Confirmation of the growing belief that ' Senator Knox "will become secretary of state in President Taft's ' cabinet Is given by the character of denials the senator is making and his refusal to discuss the matter. When Mr. Knox was asked if he had been tendered a cabinet portfolio, by Mr. Taft, he said he would not Interfere with Mr. Taft's prerogative of selecting his own cabinet. But the senator was emphatic In denying a dispatch from Pittsburg in which he was represented as saying that "lie would not accept the secretaryship of state and that it had not been offered him. In view of Mr. Knox's refusal to say anything on the subject and the ab

sence of Mr. Taft himself, the best information obtainable here is that Mr. Taft wants Mr. Knox in the cabinet and that the latter is considering the proposition, with the probability in favor of his accepting It. The selection of Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, as secretary of the treasury, is also regarded as certain. Mr. Taft is known to have tendered the appointment to Mr. Burton and the latter, without declining it, has made his acceptance contingent upon his success or defeat in the Ohio senatorial contest. The indications are so strongly against Mr. Burton's election to the senate, that it is believed to be most probable that he will assume the direction of treasury affairs after March 4.

QUAKERS PUSHED THE PROSECUTION? Charges Made by Defense in "Blind Tiger" Case.

Rushville, Ind., Dec 17. A jury In Rush county has established a precedent by convicting a defendant charged with conducting a "blind tiger." Marion McClain of Carthage was charged with having sold whiskey without a license at his drug store. One of the witnesses against McClain said he bad purchased liquor from" him so often that if . the date were written down, it would take- a piece of paper five blocks long. It was charged by the defense that McClain was being prosecuted at the instigation of Rev. Charles Whiteley, pastor of the Quaker church, and by the church as a collective body. It was said that Dickenson had been promired $50 from the church and an

equal amount from the pastor providing he would go before the courts and testify against the druggist. This. Rev. Whiteley denied upon the witness staild.

ROOSEVELT DEE-LIGHTED. Washington. D. C, Dec. 17. President Roosevelt yesterday made twenty chorus girls happy. It all occurred at the noonday reception. The chorus girls, attractions at a local theater, have been on tiptoe ever since they ascertained they would get to see the president. The girls

wore their biggest hats and their best;

dresses. They willingly admitted that they all looked like stars. Prior to falling in line to pass before the president they engaged in a great flutter of conversation. Between the noise and the big hats it was impossible to hear or see anything. Breathlessly the girls filed into the executive offices with eyes and ears wide open. The president opened up his full repertoire of happy salutations. "Glad to meet you." ' Delighted." "Happy to see you." "I'm so pleased," were a few of the greetings he handed to the girls as they filed past. They chattered like magpies outside the offices about the incidents of the interview. Rich behind the chorus girls were a number of others who had appointments and Dr. Harding was one of them.
