PERRY §. HEATH FATHER OF RFD PASSES AWAY Started One of Greatest Ad- vancements in Postal Dis- tribution in 1897 Washington, rch 30—~(P)—Perry S. Heath, known as the “F; the Rural Free Delivery,” and for years prominent as an editor and publisher, died at his home here early today after an illness of more than six weeks. A picturesque figure in the last quarter of the 19th century as a newspaperman and prolific political writer, Mr. Heath entered the post- office Wepartment in 1897 under President McKinley, and with less than $30,000 authorized by congress for experimental purposes, started the first work on one of the greatest advancements in postal distribution in ory. < When he resigned later as assistant post al, the rural delivery service he had established was costing $425,000 2 year. In 1925 the cost was $103,000,- 000. His 1,200 letter carriers roam- ing the remote farm centers in 1900 ‘e jumped to more than 45,000 at present. Prominent in Dakotas Born at Muncie, Ind., August 31, 1857, Heath, at the age of 21 estab lished the first daily paper at Mun- cie and later gave Aberdeen, S. D., its first daily paper. He was iden- tified with the nominating campaii of Benjamin Harrison for president and with the framing of the con- stitutions for the division of Dakota three years ter gener- jand the government of the proposed states of North Dakota South Da- kota. After leaving the postal se served as secretary of the Repub- lican national committee; arbitrated the government fight over telegraph rates, bought and published the Salt Lake Tribune, and established the Salt Lake Telegram in 1902.

Raymond t day enunciated a policy of limiting each side. At the opening of court the jury was sent outside, where it has been most of the trial, while Sapiro’s and Ford’s counsel argued over the pro- ion of Sapiro’s record books. “Gentlemen, there has got to be said Judge Ray- I wish you would agree on e limit. How about 20 minutes for gach of you?” “That would be twice too much,” replied Stewart Hanley of Ford coun- sel. Time Limit Agreed On William Henry Gallagher, counsel for Sapiro, nodded assent and the new rule was applied immediate! The first application limited each side to 10 minutes. Neither needed it, however, as the attorneys agreed to take up the mat- ter immediately after the noon re- cess, Sapiro was recalled to the witness stand and James A. Reed, United States senator for Missouri, chief of Ford counsel, resumed cross exam- ination. 7 Reed and Sapiro began like a pair of friendly citizens in a discussion remote from a court of record. Their tete-a-tete at first dealt with Sapiro’s early legal efforts, his division of percentages of receipts with various partners while he got started at law, soon after hanging out his shingle. ‘As long as Reed was centered on routine questions, his voice 12 feet back of him was heard as a rolling mumble, far from the _stentorian boom of which it is capable. LITTLE HOPE HELD.OUT FOR THEIR SAFETY (Continued from page one) all parts of;the entire Cambria field were organized quickly when word of. the blast spread. These men, equip- ped with helmets, were rushed to Ehrenfeld by automobile Within a short time they were attacking the mine mouth blockade, in an effort to get into the workings. Blast Worst in History Officers of the United States bu- reau of mines here decided that the explosion was so serious that they must send their directing heads to the scene. D. J. Parker, director, will head the Pittsburgh bureau ex- perts, including J. J. Forbes, George Grove, Phil Burgesky and George McCaa, veterans of many mine blasts. The rescue men were unanimous in the opinion that the explosion was one of the worst in the history of mining in western and central Penn- sylvania.
