Washington, July 18.—'‘Banking by mail” is the latest innovation entered into by the government in connection with the postal saving system. Here- after deposits may be made by mail and withdrawals likewise effected through the same agency. When the postal savings system was first put in operation postmasters were forbidden to permit deposits by such persons as were not patrons of the postoffice in which they sought to bank. This was found to work a hardship on a certain class of depositors and Postmaster General Burleson accord- ingly abrogated the rule.

PIONEER | “BANKING BY MAIL” LATEST HVE MEN STILL i ARE IMPRISONEUK Entombed in Iron Ore Mine at Eveleth, Minn. 'MAY HAVE BEEN DROWNED| — Feared Unfortunate Workers Were Caught by Avalanche of Water and Earth Before They Had an Oppor- tunity to Reach Higher.Ground. Eveleth, Minn., July 18.—Five min- ers still are imprisaned somewhere in the top drift of the No. 1 Spruce mine. Dead or alive no one &nows. Fifteen men were caught in the mine. Ten were rescued. Joseph Pulze, Italian; Battista Se- rofini, Ttalian; Gins Domenici, Ital- ian; John Sop and Nick Karanich, Croatians, are the missing men. None have families in America, as far as known, but two or three are believed to have families in their native land. The men may be in an upper cham- ber, or level, of the drift, above the flood, and safe, unless the air be- came exhausted and they perished on that account. To guard if possible against such a contingency a diamond drill is now working with all possible speed, sink- ing a hole directly over this compart- ment, in the hope of pumping air down it in time. Some believe the unfortunates were caught in the avalanche of water and earth that filled the mine and were either drowned or buried beneath it. Rescue crews in relays are laboring incessantly -to clear out the drift of debris and to’ reach the part of the mine where the men were working.
