Postmaster General Hitchcock Will
Advise Limited Service in His
Forthcoming Annual Report.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. A limited par
cels post for rural free delivery routes will
be recommended by Postmaster General
Hitchcock in his forthcoming annual re
port. In announcing this tonight the post
master general said he foresaw the estab
lishment of a gennral parcels post through
out the country as soon as the postal sav
ings system is thoroughly organised.
As the preliminary step in the develop
ment of such a acrvlce, Mr. Hitchcock will
ask' congress to authorise the deliverey on
rural routes on parcels weighing as high
as eleven pounds, which Is the weljrht limit
for the international parcels post. This
form of service can be conducted with
little If any additional expense to the gov
ernment. A rural parcels post, If successful, would
probably lead the department to attempt a
more general system.

Pity the Poor Traveling Man
Thanksgiving His Tough Day
The lonesome man the traveler, com
mercial or otherwise, caught away from
home on Thanksgiving waa in evidence
around Omaha hotels yesterday. He could
not sell goods because all the stores were
closed. He might dictate some letters, but
the hotel stenographer had gone to the
foot ball game. So there was nothing left
for him but to eat turkey alone, and since
that rift In the monotony requires only a
small part of bis time, he had nothing
much left to do except to pace to and
fro In the lobby, and tiring ef that exer
cise, ensconce himself in some quiet corner
to thumb the page of a magaxine.
Most wives fancy that their husbands
on the road have a gay time every day,
not to mention the nights, but if these
wives could see the gloom that hangs pall
ilke over hotel lobbies, they would per
force rise up And hand forward a ciown
in acknowledgement ot faithfulness.
Any day but Sunday or Thanksgiving or
Christmas or some other off day, these
men would not loiter around t! lobby uf
their hotel. They would oe out singing
the praises ot the goods they have to sell,
and the day would pass quUkly. Rut,
Thanksgiving jay Is a blank on the travel
ing man s calendar, so far as sales are
concerned, so there la nothing for him to
do but kill lime.

at a clip not previously seen this season.
The backs got away well and together, the
Interference was good and the first few
plays netted many yards. Then the of
fense slackened a little, the Des Moines de
fense braced and Creighton did not for a
time gain so consistently. But In this first
quarter fumbles by Des Moines backs, the
fullback being the worst offender, gave
Creighton two theoretical chances to score.
In each case a place kick was tried and In
neither did the ball come very nejr. the
goal posts. On the second of these chances

Neither side was very dangerous In the
third quarter and the advantage In this
was Crelghton's, which netted gains on
runs by Kyle, Hronek, Young and occas
ionally Morgenthaler.
Young seemed to shine, for although not
the speediest player on the Creighton team,
he Is a big fellow and all the Des Moines
backs, except Davis, dashed at him In
vain. Davis, who Is the pluckiest and fast
est player of his weight, barring none seen
here this year, was nearly the whole Des
Moines back field on defense. He is a
freshman and If he can put on a little beef
as he grows older he will be heard from.
He did not appear to weigh over 145 pounds
yesterday.
Hronek, who is the second best man on
the Creighton team, showed well yester
day as usual and good playing was also
done by Marrln and Kramer, who, like
Hronek, yesterday played their last game
for Creighton.
Des Moines gained several times on shift
plays and other trick maneuvers, but It
was proved once more that such foot ball
cannot be relied upon. On the third or
fourth play of the kind, whether delayed
pass, kick out after a aide pass or any
thing else of this nature, Creighton would
nab the ball for a big Des Moines loss.

RIO JANEIRO, Nov. 24. The crews of
two battleships of the Brazilian navy mu

on the loyal shipa and also threw a fev

During the outbreak several officers were
killed. Tho fighting loea :d at nlg-ht. but

two vessels. 1 -
Today the battleships with their mutinous
crews were anchored outside the bar awalt-
Ing action by the government Congress
wax summoned in session at 1 o'clock this
uftornoon to deal with the situation. '
The censorship Is strict and details of
the trouble cannot be cabled at this time.
It is officially stated the trouble Is not
of a political character and should be de
scribed as a mutiny among the sailors to
enforce certain concessions from their offi
cers, rather than a revolt against the ad
ministration of President Fonseoa.
Demand for More I'sy,
For some time the men of the navy had
been agitating the matter of more pay.
They also objected to the practice In the
navy of Inflicting corporal punishment
upon insubordinate or otherwise offending
sailors.
The matter came to a head yesterday
when the crews of two of the larger war
ships turned on their superiors. It Is re
ported that the captain of the battleship
Minos Oeraes was killed.
Following the fighting the mutineers
expect congress to pass a measure this
afternoon granting them amnesty. It is
believed if this is done the trouble will be
at an end. Should congress refuse amnesty
to the revolters the subsequent attitude of
the latter Is In doubt.
The situation Is tense and there Is consid
erable anxiety among the people of the
city.

LONDON, Nov. 24. A private cable dis
patch from Rio Janeiro received here
shortly before noon today says that ths
captain of the Brazilian battleship Minas

Earlier dispatches conveyed . the news
that the crews of several warships had

here today from Rio Janeiro says that

that this was only in pursuance of the

Postmaster General Hitchcock Tells
How Alabama Firm Manipulated
Bogus Bills of Lading.
WASHINGTON, .Nov. 24. Commenting on
the arre-t yesterday by postofflce Inspectors
of John W. Knight, senior member of the
cotton brokerage firm of Knight, Yancey
Co., of Decatur, Ala., Postmaster General
Hitchcock today nave out a statement In
which he says that the operations of this
concern through the alleged fraudulent use
of the malls would doubtless exceed
$1,000,000.
The alleged fraud was committed, he says,
by use of bogus bills of lading. Mr. Hitch
cock asserts that by making false reports
f shipments to Insurance companies, cer
tificates of Insurance were procured cover
ng both railway and marine risks. These
r-erttftcates were accepted as lndtcntlng the
'lonoety ot the shipments' and the bills of
adlng accepted were negotiated by note
brokers, who procured payment from the
foreign Importers In advance of delivery.
11 chiefly against these foreign huyers
of rotton that the fraud Is alleKed to have
been'commltted. The cotton purchased, Mr.
Hitchcock says, never arrived.
"The effect of this procedure," the state
ment says, "was to treate a widespread
lack of confidence In our cotton export
trade, causing great embarrassment to the
reliable exporters of this product."
Mr. Hitchcock declares that transactions
of Knight. Yancey & Co., were similar to
those of another concern of Cornlth, Miss.,
whose members were recently Indicted on
evidence procured by postofflce Inspectors.
The postmaster general's statement alleges
that the Investigation developed that the
two concerns had an arrangement by which
they exchanged drafts, each holding power
of attorney for the other to accept such
drafts, and that they committed frauds ag
gregating between $2.000.ono and $3,000,000.
Mr. Hitchcock refers also to the opera
tions of Sandals, Griffin & Co., of Cleve
land, the principals of which concern were
arrested yesterday by postofflce Inspectors
for alleged fraudulent use of the malls In
Felling oil stock through misrepresentation.
'The successful development of certain
legitimate oil projects during the last year
has been taken advantage of by some pro
moters to defraud the public through the
sale of stock In wild-cat oil comparles,"
says the statement, "investigations recently
made have disclosed the fact that the mails
are being extensively used In these opera
tions '

sure to be blackballed. Many teachers of 1
high standing have been blackballed by
this club, or, rather by some of those who
run It. The fact that two very prominent
educators were blackballed last year and
their names then made public, started an
Investigation with the result that It no
longer a disgrace to be blackballed by that
club.
The exposure of this state of affairs
brought home to the teachers the fact that

Outbreak nt New Point.
EL PASO. Tex., Nov. J4.-Whlle It Is
admitted that with the tightening of the
censorship established by the Mexican
government, only such Information as Is
favorable to the government is being al
lowed to come through; it la the general
belli f that the situation la now pretty
well under control. Sympathisers of the
revolutionists here, however, claim that
the present lull merely marks the strength
ening of the Insurgent organization, and
that the real force of the uilltig will be
felt wlthlna few days.
The most Important developments of
the night was the report that disturbances
had broken out In the territory of Teplc

No fight was reported here last night
from any of the revolutionists' strong
holds. Parral apparently affords the gov
ernment the most anxiety and fully 1,000
federal troops were sent to that point
yesterday.
All points along the line of the Mexican
j National railroad, including Torreon and
Chihuahua, were reported tranquil at t a.
m., and the absence of further news from
these places Indicates that quiet still reigns.
It is declared that the Insurgents still hold
the branch of the Mexico-Northwestern
railroad, running from Chihuahua to Ma
dera. Earlier reports last night stated that
the government troops had recaptured tbe
railroad.
One American Killed.
The staff man ot the El Paso Herald,
who haa readied Parral, where fighting oc
curred Monday, writes:
"This town Is In perfect peace and tran
quil again. Forty-one were killed In the
assault on the town and sixty-eight
wounded were found In buildings after
wards. Tom Lawson, an American Wax
killed In his room In the Palace hotel by a
stray bullet.
"In the attacking, party, which rain
down , from the mountain side, were lffl

revolvers. About fifty unarmed Insurgents
watched the fighting from the mountains."
