URGES COMPENSATION FOR
INJURED POSTAL EMPLOYES
t
WASHINGTON. . Jan. J.-The ensct
ment of a law to compensate all postal
employes. . Including letter carriers, for
Injuries sustained In the line of duty, -but
not attributable to their own negligence.
Is urged in the annual report of C. P.
Grandrield, first assistant postmaster
general, submitted to Postmaster General
Hitchcock today.
There were in operation June 30 laat
(n,:37 poetofflces of all classes in the
United States. The postal city delivery
service is now In operation In 1.M1 cities,
serving more than 44.U00.000 people, and
on the 42.010 rural routes 30.000,000 people
receive mall. This leaves a considerable
portlna of the American people, most of
whom reside In towns and villages, the
report declares, "without any form of
free delivery service, and under the pres
ent laws there Is no way by which the
de,attment can relieve this Inequality."
The cost of free delivery in cities, in
rliiilr.g collection expenses, was nearly
I 3.U .(;?, or more than It per cent of the
gr.w revenue of the city delivery offices.
Mr. Grand 0c Id calla special attention
tv the fact that during the last fiscal
year, "the triaj revenue of the depart
ment more titan equalled the expenditures
and the postal service Is now self-sustaining
for the first time since 133."

Pardon Refused to
Charles W. Morse
WASHINGON. Jan. l.-It was an
nounced at the White House tonight that
the report of the army medical officers
who have examined Charles W. Morse,
convicted New York banker, serving a
sentence In the Atlanta, Ga., federal peni
tentiary, does not warrant immediate
interference by the president and the
pardon will not be granted at thin time.
The physicians made a physical ex
amination of Morse in the military hos
pital at Fort McPhernon, where the
banker Is being treated under guard. They
also atudliid his mxntal condition and
transmitted their findings to "president
Taft through Surgeon General Torncy
yesterday.
The physicians find that Morse Is suf
fering from artnrlo sclerosis, valvular
trouble of the heart. Rrlght's disease and
has but recently suffered from an acute
attack of congestion of the kidneys. They
found no paralysis.
The doctors pronounce Morse's condi
tion necessarily Incurable, but do not ex
pect Immediate death. Their recommend
ations are such that President Taft found
no reason to depart from tho attitude
he hus assumed In the Morse case. It
Is genrvolly understood President Taft Is
unwilling that Morse die a prisoner, but
he does not Intend to grant the pardon
until he Is convinced the prisoner Is in a
dying condition.
THAWING FROZEN WATER PIPE
Elertrleltr Pat on the Job and
tlnlcklr Deliver the
fio4a.
The great winter problem for those of
us who .live In the northland la the
thawing out of froien water pipes. Try
as we will every now and then Jack
Frost will steal a march on us and when
we wake up In the morning the water
pipes will be frosen tight.
Applications of hot water many remove
the ice In the pipes if It happens where
the water can be applied without re
moving the piaster and spoiling the wood
work. Once In a while a hot flatlron will
do the trick but, often enough, the frost
will have a grip on the pipe in a place
where flatlrona cannot be applied. Hold
ing a lighted lamp under the frosen part
has been known to work but it la Just as
apt to set the house on fire.
It remained for an electrical genius
to rig up a small portable transformer
for thawing frosen water pipes. This
little device is connected to tha afflicted
pipe and the current turned on. . In a
few minutes the pipe begins to get ex
ceedingly warm and tha loe melts away.
The devloe wilt work no matter where
the pipes are frosen even If the trouble
Is located far under the ground. Many
central atatlons for the sale and distri
bution of electricity now have one or
more of the pipe tbawera on hand and
they will apply tho electrical remedy to
any froien pipe for a nominal sum.

Lynching of Negro
Follows Crimes at
Benefactor's Home
8ALLI8AW, Okl., Jan. I.-For the
murder of George Casey, a white farmer
living near Muldrow, twelve miles east
of here, and a subsequent attack on Mrs.
Casey, a negro named Turner waa taken
this morning from the Casey home, where
he lay In a drunken stupor, and hanged.
Turner, to reach Muldrow, had stolen
an Iron Mountain railroad engine from
the round house at Van Buren, Ark., on
Baturday evening and had drlvei It to
Muldrow, Okl., where It was derailed by
the station agent, who had been advised
of Its coming.
Turner, two miles further on, reached
the Casey home, at which he applied for
admlaelon, pleading he was half froien.
Mr. Casey let him In to Bit by the fire
and returned to bed.
Later Turner, it Is declared, murdered
Casey as he lay asleep, using an ax, and
then overpowered Mrs. Casey. When the
negro fell asleep Mrs. Casey made her
way to Muldrow in her night clothing and
told of the crimes. .A posse waa formed
quickly and found the negro' asleep as
Mrs. Casey had described him.
MILLIONS IN ASTOR ESTATE
Enormous Value of the Family
Property la New York
City.
The total assessed valuation of the
property on Manhattan Island owned by
Colonel John Jacob Astor, his cousin,
William Waldorf Astor of England, and
the estate of William Astor, the father
of the present John Jacob, in which va
rious members of the family hold inter
ests, is 107,6,SOO. The Astor estate,
therefore. Is New York's largest tax
payer by a wide margin. Of thai enor
mous amount v of . realty scattered all
over the city, William Waldorf Astor
Is tha greatest holder, his possessions
being assessed at $60,290,000. John Jacob
Astor pays taxes, according to the pres
ent tax records, on $41,202,800, while the
holdings of the William Astor estate are
assessed -at $16,406,600. Despite the in
creased assessments In recent years, it
Is safe to say that the entire Astor hold
ings are not taxed on much more than
60 per cent of what the holdings would
bring at private or publlo sale, so that
the marketable value o? this $107,000,000
worth of property would doubtless reach
$150,000,000.
The list now prepared shows nearly
700 parcels of real estate, much of It in
the choicest parts of the city. It la dif
ficult to say at first glance whioli Is the
more surprising, the magnitude and value
of the holdings or the wide distribution
of the properties. Every section of the
city la represented, and In nearly every
section a large part of the best proper
ties bear the Imprint, as It were, of the
Astor name. The Fifth avenue holdings
are enormously valuable, so are the
Broadway portlona, many of the latter
being In the Times square district, where
values have Jumped miraculously within
the last few years. Then there are blocks
In the best apartment house district on
the west side, and the east side tenement
house area contains whole rows of
houses from which a steady income flows
Into the Astor coffers.
The Waldorf-Astoria hotel stands out
as the most valuable single piece of prop
erty held by the Astors on the tax bookk.
The Thirty-fourth street half, owned by
John Jacob Astor,' is assessed at 98.$60,
000, while the Thirty-third street half,
owned by William Waldorf, and which
has Just been transferred In trust for his
son, Waldorf, is valued at $6,150,000, or a
total of more than $11,000,0(0. The Hotel
Astor, In Ttmea square, la assessed at
$4,000,000.
The founder of the Astor fortune has
been dead but alxty-three years, and the
$30,000,000 which It waa estimated he left
has increased to many times that amount.
The flgurea from th tax books repre
sent but a portion of the real Astor for
tune. No estimate la made of the large
holdings of the affiliated members of the
family, the ChanlerS. Van Alens. Jays.
Praytona, Kanae, Langdoax, Delanos and
others, who Inherited from time to time
valuable portions . of the old Astor es
tate. ' Tho enormous growth of the es
tate is due in great measure to the mar
velous growth of New York, and Its
business and residential expansion,
which almost over night has made por
tions of the city hitherto deemed of little
value worth millions. New York' Times.
When a man and his' wife are congenial
It Is a sign that they can spend a rainy -Sunday
together without having a tiff.
The average man's ideas of the way. to
have a good time is to spend the money
he needs in his business for things he
doesn't need In his bosom. .
When a very rich man marries a very
poor girl, that's romance. When a very '
rich girl marries a very poor man, that's
fiction.
This much is certain If Dame Fortune
ever knocks on our door she is going to
fret kissed, even If she looks like Lylla
Plnkham.
As a general thing the kind of married
man who is inclined to get romantic in
the moonlight ought never to be allowed
to leave home without taking one of the
children with him.
If the statistics were available probably
It would be found that there are 98 per
cent fewer young men who want to be
an angel than who want to court one.
