e has prepared to present' to a Su
>reme Court justice together with an
for a new trial.
This evidence—a note or meinoran
um—Mr. Browne submitted to Gov

HOLD-UP STORIES
Hot Statement Issued by Demo

Wilson Bailey
SAYS HE DUNNED POSTMASTER
Split Among the Democrats Get
ting More Pronounced as
Money Is Needed
More charges that the Democratic
State machine has attempted to hold
up postmasters for contributions for
support of the dominant faction are
being made and the scene now shifts
from the York-Adams district to
Schuylkill county. k This time the
charge is made that Wilson Bailey,
the "collector" of the Democratic
State committee, offered to take notes
for cash.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral James I. Blakslee, whose home is
in Carbon county, adjoining Schuyl
kill, figures in an odd light in the
statement given out, us Wilson Bailey,
the accredited solicitor of funds for the
State organization from the post
masters, is said to have quoted
Blakslee as having already contributed
S6OO himself, thus setting a good ex
umple to postmasters who were, how
ever, only asked to give 6 per cent, of
one year's salary.
Ix-e Very Sore
The charges, coming as they do
after s'milar alleged events In other
parts of the State, have caused a big
sensation in the great coal county.
A Pottsville dispatch to a-Philadel
phia paper says: "The Democratic
county organization is controlled by
Congressman Robert E. Lee and his
friends, and all the Democratic post
masters were warned by him several
weeks ago not to allow themselves to
be grafted by any political scheme.
For this reason none of the Schuylkill
county postmasters contributed to the
State collector, although none posi
tively refused, but left the door open
for further negotiations, so they might
obtain full information of the extent
of the operations of the State organ
ization. Congressman Lee's friends do
not hesitate to declare their opinion
that part of tho money collected was
to be used to defeat him* for renomi

mas Rush
Showing an increase of 15 per cent,
over a corresponding period last year,
parcel post receipts at Harrlsburg are
going up by leaps and bounds, ac
cording to Postmaster Frank C. Sites,

the parcel post was as yet "only an
infant in arms,' and predicting a vast
volume of business for the parcel post
next Christmas. Mr. Sites said that
even the Easter parcel post business
here exceeded that of last Christmas,
and judging by that it would not be
hard to predict that the business next
Christmas would be enormous.
The Post Office force here is now at
work keeping count of all outgoing
mall, with particular attention to the
parcel post. In the latter class of
mail three factors must be Itemized:
Weight of package, zone to which it
is sent, and amount of postage. For
fifteen days the Post Office here must
keep account of its outgoing mail.

State Treasurer Defends
His Sale of State Bonds
By Associated Press
Boston, Mass., April 10. —In defense
of his recent sale of an Issue of
$6,000,000 State bonds "over the coun
ter" rather than through a syndicate
of bankers. State Treasurer F. W.
Mansfield said in a public statement
to-day that the net loss to the State
was $75 compared with the last bond
sale under the old methods.
"The big thing that I sought to ac
complish," said the treasurer, "was to
increase the interest of the people in
their own State, to advance civic pride
| and patriotism, and to bring the gov
ernment closer to the people."
The public bond sale netted $450
more than would have been obtained
had the bid of the syndicate been
accepted, but the advertising cost off
set this advantage.

new owner—an energetic young
man.
Little was left to the business
but the good name. There were
strong stores all around It.
The first thing this merchant
did was to emphasize In ills ad
vertising that he kept well
known, popular, advertised arti
cles mentioning those adver
tised In the local newspapers by
the manufacturers
He did not advertise them at
a cut price. He merely let It be
known that he carried them and
would give good service.
That was a few months ago.
Already the business has started
to revive to an extent that com-
Fietltors are sitting up and t*k
ng notice.
This man makes It a rule to
mention every day In his ad
vertising the naifte of dome well
known, branded article that he
carries—a name that stands for
character In the mind of tha
public.
