W. Post, author of the famous |. | postal currency system for the United | States, is at the St. Francis Hotel. The | idea has been indorsed by practically all the commercial organizations of the | country, by Postmaster General Payne, by Third Assistant Postmaster General Madden, by the National Association of Postmasters, by farmers’ associa- tions and by many others whose expert study of postal and commercial ques- tions has entitled their opinions and conclusions to respect. | A proposed law to carry the postal currency idea into effect was reported favorably by the Congressional House Committee on Postoffices and Post | Roads. The influence of the express | companies is so strong, however, that {it cannot become a law until the rail- | road and express Senators are put out | of the Senate. | Mr. Post is tall and commanding in | person and sagacity—facts that are evi- dent to even the casual observer. His | bears the lines of an exceptionally strong face. Business acumen and { Judgment have already been demon- strated as characteristics of this man. He is the chairman of the Postum Ce~ | real Company, the business of which runs annually into millions of dollars in the United States alone. Three years | ago Mr. Post retired from active busi- {ness. He sald yesterday: “I am not | giyging my money to establish libraries. | There are various ways to help the peo- | ple and to promote prosperity, and I am working on some other lines.” | “THE SENTRY BOX.” i In pursuit of his generous plan, Mr. | | Post has established at Washington, D. C., a bureau known as “The Sentry Box.” Men who have been prominently | connected with the governmental de- partments at Washington and who are | familiar with the inner workings have been employed to prepare and send | |from “The Sentry Box' information and editorlal matter for the use of | newspapers and other periodicals | throughout the United States, Mr. Post has devoted his own time | and talents also to investigation and to | writing for the leading magazines on | current questions of public concern. The result is that hardly any man in | the United States in or out of officlal life is better known than Mr. Post. In an interview with a reporter for The Call yesterday Mr. Post said: “It has been estimated that the ex- isting hindrances to the easy and ready transmission of money through the mails entail a loss to. trade annually of perhaps $1,000,000,000. I'he present | money order is tied up with red tape, is troublesome to get and hampered by | the distances at which the rural popu- {lation especially—a large part of the | people of the United States—dweil from | the money order offices. The attending | inconvenienced and the natural inertia | of thousands of persons who would like | to subscribe for a periodical or to pur- | chase articles of small cost, pay blills, | ete., but who in default of ready facili- ties at hand never carry out their pur- poses, cause to a large extent the loss {to trade that I have mentioned.

He bled profusely and a physiclan was | hurriedly summoned, but could do | nothing. When Coleman was taken from a northbound train near Chehalis and placed In jail at that place he slashed his neck several times with a razor. The sneeze burst the ‘blood vessels, | causing him to lose great quantities of blood. B e SOUTHERN OCALIFORNIA HOSPITAL OVERCROWDED | Managers of State Institution Decide to Bulld a New Wing at a Cost of $65,000. SAN BERNARDINO, April 8.—At the meeting of the board of managers of the Southern California State Hos- pital last evening a resolution was passed ordering advertising for plans |for a new wing of the institution to | cost $65,000. The hospital is at pres- ent crowded beyond its capacity with 840 patients, forty having arrived during the last month. A building exclusively for female patients is to be_begun at once to cost $18,000. i Lyman M.

This money is, in every day use, | blank until the holder wants to send it by mail; then he will write in the first blank space the name of the payee, in | the second the address, and the third | is for the signafure of the receiver. The bills are thus converted into checks, and are payable to no other persons other than thosg in whose names they are indorsed, and are as safe as any check. The bills are redeemable by the Government, and, when redeemed, are | 2 source of Governmental profit, the | amount of profit per annum being up- | ward of $3,000,000—quite a considera- | tion when the profits to trade are also in view. “This money will be in the hands of | every one, and the redemption and re- | newal of the bills will be simple. They will be received and be handled by the | persons to whom they are sent exact- |1y as checks are handled. They will be canceled, find their way into the clearing-houses in the dally settle- forwarded to Washington ments, be and be redeemed. While I originated the idea seven or eight years ago, something eimilar has occurred to oth- ers. Samuel L. Clemens, known as ‘Mark Twain,” when he was in Austria, described in writing a scheme he had for postal checks, and he has sent the manuseript to me. It {llustrates from another point of view the obstacles that are interposed to the free trans- action of business. In one paragraph he writes as follows: MARK TWAIN’S OPINION. “ “There is at present no way to be- guile the man into ordering the book for himself. Therein lies the prodig- fous damage, the incalculable damage. If he could order it without stirring out of his chair or without any trouble or bother the usual 3000-copy book would sell—well, a ton or two. If he proposes to send postage stamps to the publisher he finds that he is just eut of stamps. If he needs to send several dollars his check will not be good with a publisher who doesn’t know him. If he would inclose bank notes (but that is too risky)—very well, there is no help for it; he must go to the postof- fice and get a postal money order, with all that means of bother and red tape and waste of time. Some one asks, “Isn’t the postal order a convenience?" Yes; and so is the stage coach.’ " Mr. Post says that the plan he advo- cates has no connection with the par- cels post bill, and that it is an entirely distinct proposition. Opposition has been offered by the express companies. Not long ago Mr. Post presided at a large meeting in the Cooper Union in New York. “It s impossible,” he said, address- ing the audience, *“to get any reform in postal matters at this session of Congress because of the express com- pany lobby and Senator Platt and his appointees, including Ellis H. Roberts, 105 ANGELES MEN HISSING Speclal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, April 8.—According to the Times, a request will be made Monday to Governor Yzabel of the Mexican Consul at Los Angeles, Gen- eral Andrade, that a rellef party be sent to Tiburon Island to search for two missing Los Angeles men, Henry E.

W. L. Martin, a piano typer, presented a check to King which re what purported to be the signature of J. J. Jeffries, proprietor of the Jeffries House in Salinas, and asked him to indorse it so that he could get it cashed. King indorsed the check and Martin had it cashed at the Secu- rity Savings Bank. It turned out to be a forgery. A warrant has been issued charging Martin, who is said to be an ex-convict, with forgery. e e—— — e e WIRELESS TELEGRAPH STATION IS IMPROVED Navy Department Officials Erect An- other Mast to Better the Ser- vice at Mare Island.

AGCIDENTALLY LECTHOCITED Special Cable to The Call, VALLEJO, April 8.—There was a break in the electric lights here last night and darkness ensued for a few minutes. No particular attention was paid to the matter until Coroner J. J. McDonald received a call to the Glen Cove power transformer station of the Bay Counties Power Company. On ar- riving there he found that James Steegs, employed as a carpenter, had been electrocuted. It is sald that Steegs, whose home was in Napa. was temporarily left in charge of the station, and that there being trouble with the current he tried to regulate it. Not being familiar with the working of the board, it is sup- posed that he touched a live wire and received the full force of the current. — e Don’t Miss “Parsifal.” You can see this great opera at our sxpense. ‘We save you 35, $7, $10 on all tallor-made garments.
