Are many persons using the United States mails for the purpose of sending obscene and lewd matter to another, is a question which has been asked many times since the arrest last week of Mrs. Carl Bertsch of Centerville. Postmaster J. A. Spekenhier states that it was probable many persons could be arrested and heavily fined and imprisoned for this offense. It is not an infrequent occurrence that the clerks bring to the, postmaster, a. postal card which is believed by them to be suggestive and even lewd and lascivious. This may be by the display of a picture, or it may be in the language used by the sender. For this reason many postal cards are "yanked" out of the mall and the sender receives a sharp note of warning from the postmaster. Probably the greatest number of violations to this postal law is in the first class matter; in letters sent through the mail. If the authorities attempted to devote their time to the interception of such mall they would have little time for other work, providing the force was not enlarged. Only in cases where the offense is most aggravated, as in the Bertsch-Cheesman case, do the authorities take action. No doubt many a criminal arrested In this city who escapes with a light

fine, because his offense does not Jus-1 tlfv ft hftvtpr rn rmiln h sent to t prison for a long sentence for postal violations. In nearly every instance these men have suggestive pictures, letters or postal cards on their person, which nave been received frbnj women. The authorities could not, however, devote their time to investigating such cases because of the ex7W. " M nt V Vfc who pleadedTruilty to the charge of , first degree murder, for the murder of William Tl Thnrntnn lnct Dofnhur hurl been found not guilty, there is every j und not guilty, there is every . reason to believe that he could haves been .sent to prison for violation ofi .u m.rn Vted tiyV lnrnv w,a finoH nnH aantonrt.il by Judge Fox last week and who figured in the attempt at a jail delivery with Sherman Kellar, it is stated, had indecent literature upon his person. The judgment which may be meted out for such an'-offense as provided for by the federal laws is . from a Bmall fine to imprisonment for five years and a fine of $5,000. "Many queer reasons are advanced by servant girls for losing a place," said the manager o fthe employment bureau, but the queerest I have ever heard was given by a girl -who blew In hpre last week. Her late mistrees was a bridge fiend. One day for the want of money to bet. she and her friends played with their maids for stakes. At the end of the game each woman considered herself in honor bound to stick to her agreement, and an attempt was really made to swap Bervants according to the ups and downs of the game. Some of the girls thus raffled off changed places willingly enough, but that client of mine refused to be swaped, and hustled around hunting a new job." The Celtic, which is to take supplies and gifts to the batleship fleet, is at Brooklyn navy yard and will not leave until early in January.
