FOREMAN OF CARRIERS
ADJUSTS MAIL ROUTES
First Postal "Roundsman,"
Serving in Trenton, Super
vises Service
TRENTON, Aug. 25. This city is ex
perimenting with a letter carriers'
"roundsman," and if the innovation is a
success the scheme will be adopted in
all parts of the country as an aid to
the carriers and to the public in gen'
cral. C. Grason Bond Is the firs?
"roundsman" to receive appointment un
der authority of the postal authorities,
and although he has been' working at the
new position less than a month he has
shifted tils' burdens of many of the car
riers here.
Technically, the title of Mr. Bond Is
"foreman of carriers.' His appointment
came after It was recommended by six
inspectors detailed here to examine into
the working of the force in this city.
His duties are to go out with the vari
ous carriers and Inspect their routes and
loads. He has the authority to lengthen
or shorten any carriera's route under the
theory that a "man on the Job" can tell
better than the authorities in Washing
ton what carriers are overburdened and
what ones are carrying too light a load
in the Bcrvlcc,
As a result of this work by one wh?
has seen service as a carrier, many of tint
evils of the service have been eliminated,
and the carriers are giving better malt
service.

REFUSE TO TAKE BONDS
Brokers Uncertain That Issue by City
of Wilmington Is Legal
WILMINGTON, Del., Aug. 2(.-Because
there was declared to be a defect in
the law providing for their issue, Lackey
& Co., brokers, have refused to take
0,000 in 4Vi per cent school bonds. The
city declares the issue is legal, but the
brokers were unable to convince a firm
of lawyers, who were to pass on the mat
ter, that such was the case.
The bonds were to provide for im
provements to the schools, and further
complicates the financial situation of the
Board of Education, which is already
short of funds because of a deficit last
year.

WAR ORDERS CAUSE
STRIFE AT NORWOOD
School Board Would Rent
Building to House Workers
Opponents Call Undesirable
Somo time ago somebody killed an
archduke and war was declared. This
war has at lost reached -Norwood, In
Delaware County.prat least, a. skirmish,
the direct result of It, has. Kor the war
stimulated the production of arms and
the nomlngton Arms Company got war
orders and its extra employes had to
have some placo to sleep, and so they
decided to put somo of them In tho old
Norwood schoolhouso.
Evan Moore put down J50 to hold an
option on the building, planning, mean
while, to complete tho purchase and make
changes in the building, so that there
would be 32 rooms, including smoking
rooms, shower baths and bedrooms. The
opposition to this plan Is led by Dr. S.
B. Harris 'and Albert McVickar, presi
dent and secretary of the South Norwood
Protective Association. These officials
met the school board Saturday night and
protested. The secretary of the borough
has refused to issue a permit, on the
ground that the class of persons who
would be boarders at the schoolhouse
apartments would be undesirable as resi
dents. But tho citizens who havo been trying
to reduce the Indebtedness of the old
school and the new school, too, a matter
or Jou.ooo or more, have protested against
tho protestants. Let the old school bo
given over to tho munition makers, say
they, to get funds; and they declare that
me mecnanics and other skilled workers
would be very desirable citizens. Both
sides are threatening to carry the ques
tion to the courts and seek Injunctions.

at the Instruction camp here are thrown
Into periodic fevers of excitement these
days by rumors as to tho developments
Irt the war situation that filter in from
time to time. The newspapers arrive at
the camp anywhere from six to eight hours
after the publication tlmo, on account of
the distance between Piattsburg and tho
distribution centres. A wild rumor to the
effect thnt Ambassador Gerard had been
recalled and that Bernstorff had been
handed his passports gained wide circu
lation last night, nnd caused tremendous
excitement before it was authoritatively
denied.
Interest In the camp outside of the war
concern centred this momlng around the
prospect of a review at retreat this after
noon. Ht which time tho "recruits" will be
given nn opportunity to show their paces
In competition with tho regulars. There
Is a possibility, however, the ovent may
bo postponed until tomorrow, when Col
onel Theodore Roosevelt Is expected to
visit the camp.
The visit of the ex-President is antici
pated keenly by thoso In attendance at
the camp and also by numerous out
siders. Tho telegraph wires havo been
loaded with messages from recruits to
friends urging them to set tho date of
any contemplated visit to the camp for
Wednesday. Colonel Roosevelt's visit,
from the present look of things, will be
tho ovent of tho month.
General Leonard Wood announced today
that a servlco strtpo for men who have
attended n full course at an Instruction
camp has been authorized. It consists
of, a stnglo black stripe, three-sixteenths
of an Inch wide, to be worn on the lower
half of the sleeve of the shirt or coat
One stripe will bo allowed for each
camp.
Two recent arrivals at the camp from
Philadelphia aro D. S. B. Chew, assigned
to Company A, and F. J. Maman, as
signed to the same company.
A private In Company A, whoso name
has been withheld, went Insane yester
day and had to be removed to the Piatts
burg barracks In a straltjacket. The
man was a paranoic on war, and recent
German aggresslonB affected his mind.
DU PONTS MAKE 2400 CASES
A DAY TO SHIP EXPLOSIVES
Three Shifts Turn Out Containers at

Commerce Chamber Names
Committee to Land National
Republican Convention
The Chamber of Commerce docs not -tend
to omit any action that will hep
bring the National Republican Conven
tion here next summer. Secretary N. B.
Kelly today announced the appointment
of a committee of four to work for the
convention. Those named are Charles
Try on, chairman; Thomas B. Harbison,
Walter P. Miller and Howard B. French.
This committee has a big task before
it. The National Republican Commltte
will not select the convention city until
its meeting In January. Before Philadel
phia can hope to be se.?cted, a cen
trally located convention hall must bei
guaranteed by Councils, and in addition
a fund of $100,000 must he raised by local
business men to flnanco tho ordinary ex
penses of the convention.
Whether or not the convention hall is
built will depend upon tho action taken
by Councils In September. The Executive
Committee of the Chamber of Commerce
Is confident that this city will not have
a chance to win the convention unless
the convention hall Is guaranteed and
action to make it a reality is taken not
later than September.
That Councils will take favorable action
on a central location for the convention
hnll and start the machinery in motion
to erect It Is the belief of the special
committee. Letters havo been sent to all
members of Councils, and many of them
have' assured tho Chamber that they will
do their best to get immediate action.
Senator Penrose, Congressman Vare and
Stato Senator McNIchol have promised
to aid this movement. "
Several subscriptions already have been
made to the convention fund, and it is
believed that, with the hall guaranteed,
the entire fund can be raised quickly
enough. With both a convention halt
and an adequato fund tho Chamber of
Commerco feels confident that the Re
publican National Committee will Vote
to hold the convention hero.
Secretary Kelly said today that he had
Just received word that the National
Florists' Association would meet .In this
city next April. It met this year at San
Francisco.
