The First Battle
-BY-
At Danville, 111., on July 29, eleven
arrests were made for participation in
the lawless outbreak' ,pf July 25 In
which the jail was attacked in an ef-
torc to lyncn James Wilson, a negro.
The scandal over the loss of the
lcto pope's fisherman ring was revived
on July 30 when it became known
that tho sum of 20,000,000 lires. ($4,
000,000) had disappeared. " Tho
amount was understood" to be in a
'.reasuro chest and largely composed
Jl 1,000 lire gold pieces.
An order was recently issued by
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow forbidding the establish
ment of rural routes that should han
dle les3 than 3,000 pieces of mail
monthly or serve less than 100 fam
ilies. This order has caused much
criticism and many protests have been
filed at the postofllco department and
on July 30 it was reported from Wash
ington that the order had been modi
fied to the extent that all routes to
bo hereafter established must cover a
circuit of not less than fifteen nor
more than thirty miles distance, ren
dering a service to not less than 100
families. This modification is re
garded as being in favor of tho rural
free delivery system.
