Secretary Shaw’s annual report, which goes direct to Congress, shows a deticit of wwenty five million dollars and an estimated deficit for next year of thirty million dollars.

Cunningham, the South Omaha, Neb., rural carrier, who is president of the National Association of Rural Carriers, and James C. Kel- lar, of Cleveland, O., who is at the head of the National Association of Letter Carriers. The dismissal is the result of an investigation of charges of insubordination, of being absent from duty without leave and violation of the president's order of January 31, 1222, prohibiting individuals or organ- ized attempts of government employes to influence legislation or to solicit in- crease of pay. Mr, Cunningham applied to the post- master last October for leave of ab- sence which the postmaster forwarded to Washington. The post office de- partment declined to approve the ap- plication and so instructed the post- master, Mr, Cunningham, however, ignored this action and came east, From that time, it is announced at the post office department, he apparently | devoted ‘his entire time to efforts to secure pledges from candidates for election or re-election to congress to support the bill approved by the car- riers for an increase of their pay, His methods it is chareed, were in distinct violation of the executive order, which A thrilling runaway acenred on | Rich Hill’s main street, Park avenue jauring the noon hour Thursday. south east part of town and will Misses Ernma Daum and Direy Aao- ‘derson wers driving along that Snow {s a retired contracter and | thoroughfare with a single horseand | builder from Kansas City. buggy when the animal became’ frightened at 4 railroad train and started to ron.

THE AIR 1S CHARGED WITH RUMORS, Names of Prominent Firms Who Are Sap- posed to Have Suffered by the Break Are Freely Mentioned—Many Old-Tim- ers Present Who Seldom Appear on the Floor of the Exchange. New York, Dec. 13.—The day's stock market opened weak and excited, with | prices generally lower, The opening transactions showed some confusion, , there being wide variations in quota- tions on sales made apparently at the same time. It is no exaggeration to say that Wall street began the day with more anxiety than it has shown since the May panic of 1901. Reasons for this feeling were plentiful, chief among them being the absolute col- lapse of the market at yesterday's close, revealing weak spots in unlooked for places. A great majotity of the brokerage houses had their clerical forces at work till late last evening and some of them worked long after midnight examining accounts and is- suing imperative calls to customers for more margins. Many stock exchange members arrived at their offices much earlier than usual to prepare for the day and to get a line on the London market. That center offered but slight encouragement. No Americans showed general recovery from the opening de- demoralization there. Almost every conceivable sort of rumor was in the air this morning and the names of individuals and firms who are com- monly supposed to have suffered by the break were freely, if privately men- tioned. It was reported among other things that a meeting of the big banking interests had been held last night and that it had been decided to support the market if the sityation became more critical, For this as well as similar rumors there appeared to be no foundation. Few doubted, however, that the moneyed i¢terests were prepared for any serious emer- gency, Attracted by the previous * day’s events the gallery of the stock exchange held a large crowd of on- , lookers. The floor was crowded with members, many of them old-timers who seldom appear there save or O- mentous occasions. The, subdued noise which prevailed at the opening broke into a roar at the first sound of the chairman’s gong. The greatest crowds were again ground the Amal- gamated Copper and United States* Steel trading posts, where brovers fairly mauled one another in their efforts to execute orders. Many of these as indicated by the opening quo- tations, were to sell “at the mar! et.” The offices of the brokerage houses were crowded with customers, meny be them from out of town, They seemed tosthink it necessary to their interest to be in close touch with the situation, In the offices of conmmis- sion houses which have private wires running to the leading cities the scene was especially animated and exciting. Telegraph operators were receiving and sending countless messages and it seemed as if the country at large was waiting on Wall street. Before the end of the first half hour the tape was at least ten minutes be- hind the market. . Amalgamated Cop- per was quoted at 63 % at a time when 64 was being bid on the floor. Support was shhown in this and other stocks and brokers supported buying by in- siders. Bargain hunters also took a hand. Offerings of copper seemed to be freely absorbed and such gossip as leaked out of the board room in the early trading indicated that the buy- ing was of a general character. Another chill pervaded the stoek market in the last hour when Amal- gamated Copper after selling up more than five points over last night sud- denly relapsed 2 3-8. The gains'which away in sort order but at about last night’s level support was again forth- coming of the same character as that which protected the earlier market. Some sharp rallies resulted in a few a running up prices higher than be- ‘ore, MOON'S FACE CRACKED.
