EXPLAINS THE DELIVERY OF THE SUNDAY MAILS i Postmaster General Clears l'p Misapprehension Regarding Recent Order. Washington, Aug. 28.?Postmaster General Hitchock tonJgtt issued the following statement: "There appears to be some misapprehension ae regards the provision in the postal bill relating to the delivery of mail on Sunday's. This provision does not require the closing of postoffices on Sundays, which would be quite impossible owing to the fact that the transit mail has to be sorted and also the mail collected in cities for dispatch to other destinations. To stop the movement of this mail would mean a serious clogging of the whole system of mail transportation and consequent inconvenience to the public. "At present most of the mail re- \ ceived on Sunday for delivery bv cari rier Monday morning is worked after r. -Li > i midnight on Sunday and tnereiore me i law will not affect this mail. It will j be delivered as promptly as hitherto. 1 Mail received up to midnight on Saturday for lock boxes will be distributed to the boxes and will be available to box holders on Sunday as usual. "There is at present no street delivery of mail by letter carriers on Sundav and therefore the law makes no change in this regard. In short the only mail that will be accepted under a reasonable construction of the new law is that received at the postoffices on Sunday and hitherto sorted on that day for distribution to j lock boxes. "As the purpose of the law, whicii j was clearly enacted in the interest of j employes, is to reduce as far as practicable the amount of Sunday labor, the work of distributing Sunday mail to lock boxes will be limited to certain classes of mail that can not be held until Monday morning without serious inconveniences to the addressee. This mail will include that for newspapers and hotel guests. The latter is peculiarly transient in character and should not be delayed. This mail like "the special delivery mail, will be sorted out at the offices of dispatch and on the railway mail trains in order to simplify the work of distributing it in the postoffices on Sunday. "As practically all business houses j are now closed on Sunday they do i not object to the plan, which has j been in force for a year, of holding j their mail until Monday morning,j realizing the benefit thus conferred! ? i_i i i i i uii potsiai empiu^es wiio are uiereu\ relieved front Sunday labor. "In order to give the new provision as liberal a construction as pos-; sible postmasters will be instructed ' on application to have their employes 1 sort out in emergency cases on Sunday letters of special importance. ; This will supplement the present priv- 1 ilege of having all mail delivered on j Sunday that carries a special delivery stamp. "DIT *1% ~ ~"U 2- -IT. - j^j die pi upu&cu cuaiiges m me j * method of putting up mail in the of- , fices of origin and in its handling on the railway mail trains it is believed that a satisfactory distribution can be made in postoffices on Sundays with i far less work than is now required. Thus the law can be made to confer j for the benefits on postal emploves ! V without inconvenience to th? public. | Minority Leader Mann of the house, 1 author of the provision, disease 1 the! o, subject today with postal oIEcisls. He ! said there was 110 intention upon the part of cangress so to restrict the j activities of the postoffica department as to inconvenience the public busi- j ness. i "It is absurd," he declared "for anybody to assume that congress m?a"nt to close postoffices as tight as a ; wedge on Sunday. We simply requir. : ed that there should be no delivery j, m of mail to the 'general public' ori Sunday in order that lpn^r Mrrinrs P and clerks might enjoy a reasonable respite from their labors.

The News and Courier carries the following in regard to election day in Charleston: The most remarkable feature of the day was the fact that at the request of the leaders on the Martin-LegareDunkin-Mansfield side the militia of j the city were quietly mobilized at! their armories towards dark prepared to extend to the executive committee such protection as the committee might need in order to count the votes cast during the primary. Arrangements were made to get in touch with the governor so that at a moment's 1 notice the militia could be ordered out I under arms. These ste-ps were deemed necessary by the Martin-Legare : leaders on the ground that the events ! of the day had shown that the police could not be relied upon to protect the executive committee and enable it to make a fair count. The day was marked by intense ex- : citement at some of the polls and by many fights, although no one was seriously hurt. Ward 3, with its polling; precincts sjde by side on Meeting j street below Market, was the storm centre throughout the day. AVnrH 2 th#> Sforni fVntrp I It was at Ward 3 that most of the incidents that seemed to threaten serious trouble occurred. Of these the one that caused greatest comment was j a clash between Mayor Grace and Mr. i Albert Orth, the proprietor of the Deutsche Zeitung, in which, according t to the testimony of those who said they were eye-witnesses, the mayor struck Mr. Orth, whose paper has been opposing very actively the candidacy of Mr. Perry. A threatening crowd followed Mr. Orth down the : street and he took refuge in a nearby 1 store. Later he requested that he be extended protection in . order that he might cast his ballot, and Chairman j Conner, of the executive committee,' offered to escort him to the polling place and see that violence was not done him. Mr. Orth, however, at the earnest entreaty of a friend who begged him for his wife's sake not to expose himself to great danger, later de- i cided not to go to the polls and to forfeit his vote. The supporters of j Mr. Perry were greatly in the ^majority ! at the Ward 3 polling place. Much : cursing was indulged in, several fights occurred and several arrests were made. Police E.ieVt Committeeman. It was at Ward 3, Club 2, in the afternoon that Mr. William H. Grimball, a member of the county executive committee, who had been stationed at! this precinct by Chairman Conner, of j the committee, was forcibly ejected ; from the polling place by three police- i men. Mr. Grimball was stationed at j the poll at a time when word had been ! J received by the .executive committee j that unfair methods were being prac- ! ticed and that the police were not making any move to prevent it. His ejection from the poll Caused the ! greatest excitement at the time. He j protested with vehemence against ! such treatment and hot words passed, j The policemen, however, refused to ' i let him re-enter the polling place. State Committeeman Arrested. It was at Ward 3 that earlier in the i aay uapt. u-eorge swan, member of ; the State executive committee from j Charleston county, was arrested by a j policeman and sent to the station house on the charge of intimidating a voter. This affair also caused considerable excitement and Capt. Swan i later expressed the greatest indigna- j fion nt thp \vnV in T\"hir>h hp Koan I treated and stated that he would car- j ry the matter into the court in order i to obtain redress for the indignity. | Capt. Swan gave the following state- ' raent to the News and Courier regarding the affair: "1 was standing aaginst CameronBarkley's place. A-fisherman whom I knew, John Olsen, captain of the smack Peerless, was standing nearby. I said, 'John, how's the fishing?' He replied, 'Cap'n, we're not doing much.' I said to him, 'John, have you voted?' He said 'no, that he had plenty of time.' I said, 'How are you on the coroner's race? He said, 'I'm for Johnny Mansfield.' I then walked over to Mansfield and said, 'Johnny, there's 01s?n over there talking to Murphy. He'll vote for you.' With that Policeman Kennedy put his hand on my! shonldpv arul sniri 'Vnn'rp nriri&r nr_ I ~ " "* i rest.' I thought he was joking and walked across the street with him, laughing. Then I saw he was in earnest. When 1 foun<| 1 was arrested, I askeil him to let me go up in the car or in r hack instead of in the patrol wagon. He said no. that he was going to make an example of me, that he had me 011 the list and that he was going to give Cole Blease a chance to put up that $500 for the first man that tried to intimidate a voter. 11-- A T ? ~ + "We were waiK.1115 iuwaiue juar&ci. | street and Mr. Grace came along in an automobile and I called him out and he came and said: 'Cap'n, what's the matter? I said, 'Let the officer state the charge,' and he said he had arrested me for intimidating a voter. Grace says, 'Capn', what have you got to say?' and I stated the case exactly and he said, 'I'm very sorry, I can't do anything for you,' and rode off. I was then walked up Meeting to Pinckney street to wait for the patrol wag on, and was taken to the station house. The same charges were preferred against me by the officer in the wagon. Lieut. Dunn asked for my side of the question and I stated what I have already stated. Lieut. Dunn asked the officer if there had been j any disturbance or fight and then said to me: 'All right, Cap'n, you can go out.' or words to that effect. "I wish to say that if there is any law which can give me redress for this indignity I propose to use it to ihe limit." Capt. Swan is a member of the State executive committee from "Charleston county. He was manager of the Pilot's association for twenty-one years and is now a director. He also holds several commissions from the government. A dozen or so arrests were made by the police during the day. In many cases the persons arrested were not held because no Drosecutor aDoeared against them. Nobody Hurt, While there was considerable excite.ment in many parts of the town the ugliest spirit was shown in Ward 3, though there were also times in Ward 5, when things looked threatening. So far as is known no one was seriously hurt in any of the fights which occurred aunng tnc -ay. ao damage to property last 'night was reported, nor did a great crowd gather in front of the Hibernian hall, where the executive committee was engaged in counting the votes, as was the case in the mayoralty race last year, and as had been feared would be the case on this occasion also. Some damage, however, was done to the residences of Proprietor Orth and Editor Wierse, of the Deutsche Zeitung, by a crowd of Perry supporters on Monday night. 3fi!itia Mobilized. In the late afternoon the' report spread about and was soon found to be a fact that the militia were being quietly mobilized at their several armories. The Martin-Legare-DunkinMansfield headquarters, taking the grounds that the events of the day had shown the need of militia protection in order that the executive committee might count the votes unmolested, rnnininniMtiniv wt>a Viq/I -nri+'h pAlnm it mo A1UU IT IbU WlUiUbia by telephone in order that the governor might be reached at once should the occasion arise. In the meantime word was passed by the officers of the different commands to their men to assemble quietly at their armories. By nightfall a large number of militia men were gathered in the different armories. Had there been signs of serious disorder at the Hibernian hall last night, the citizens soldiery of the city was in readiness to turn out and afford the executive committee such protection as it needed. A Strenuous Day. The day was a strenuous one for the members of the executive committee. They were for the most part stationed at various polling pipces in the city, though one member was alwavs on dutv at the Hibernian hall. man Conner was on the go ali day, passing here and there about town in an automobile wherever his presence seemed to be required. It was a busy day also for the candidates more especially for Sherirf Manin and Mr. Perry and for Mayor Grace, who throughout has takon a very prominent part in Mr. Perry s campaign. Asthma!
