Minor Post Offices Cause Trouble

DONT TAKE JOB SERIOUSLY
Postmasters Refuse to Answer Department
Correspondence and
Threaten to Quit When Called
to Task by Officials.
Washington.?Some of the trials of
the I'ost Offioe department with many
of the fourth class postmasters of the
country, who refuse to answer official
correspondence, and who otherwise
conduct themselves In a perhaps too
high-handed fashion, are revealed by
W. Irving Glover, third assistant postmaster
general.
Those fourth class postmasters, it
appears, have been In part responsible
for the delay In adjusting the 150,000
claims for lost and damaged parcels.
Fut more than that, they continually
act as if they didn't care a rap whether
they held their jobs or not.
Care Little About Jobs.
The trouble. Is that they really do
not. Glover intimated, und they often
tell the department officials as much
In Just about thut many words. They
nre under civil service, and often they
are the only men in their towns who
will and can act as postmasters. Mo-?t
often they run small stores, 'and tf
the department In Washington gets
"all het up" over their failure to answer
correspondence, the postmasters
threaten to give up the post office
work.
1 That threat usually "works," for it
is better to have some sort of post office
than none at all.
"Why, some of them pay no attention
to us at all," said Glover, with n
smile of despair. "One of them recently
was asked to fill out a questionnaire
showing reasons us to this and
that In connection with a lost parcel.
t '"Hell, no; hell, yes; hell, no; hell,
yes,' was the way he sent the questionnaire
back to us," continued Glover,
with some feeling. "Then, he
continued, 'if you don't like it, take
. your pc3t office out of my
store.'
"This is a sample or rne tiling we
have to put up with," continued th??

Professor of Psychology Who Has Been
Making Tests Gives Results of
His Investigations.
Austin, Tex.?For the last thiee
years Dr. T. It. Garth, professor of
psychology of the University of Texas,
hus been making tests of the mental
capacity of the Indian, the negro und
the Caucasian. These investigations
have brought to light the fact, he says,
that the American Indian has as alert
a mind as white people. lie recently
spent some time among the Indians of
New Mexico and Oklahoma, carrying
on his tests.
In Oklahoma, Doctor Garth visited

Chemist Convicted of Murdering Wife
by Administering Arsenic Asks for
Rehearing of Case.
^ "
Paris.?Modern scientific research
with regard to arsenical poison may
cause the French courts to reverse a
life sentence passed 43 years ago on
a chemist named Danval, who was
found guilty of having murdered his
wife.
Danval, who, owing to a press agitation,
was released 19 years ago, has
now filed a petition asking for permission
to bring his case before the
supreme court of appeal. The Danval
case was one of the most famous
poison trials in the annals of French
criminal law. In 1877 M. Danval was
a prosperous chemist with an estab

the prosecution and the defense, and

"In nil I tested about 1,000 Indians, i
something over half of -whom were :
full-blood, the rest ranging from oneeighth
to fifteen-sixteenths Indian," he
said. "Some of the Indians are very
promising and have great possibill-;
j ties. Heretofore the average of the
Indian for intelligence rating lias been
below that of the white. Hut the- Indian
excels both the white and negro
in mental fatigue, that Is, ability to
continue longer at any given mental
process."
In the color preference test which
Doctor (Jarth conducted, out of a
group of 100 Indian students, 38 preferred
red first, 32 preferred blue
first, while green, orange, yellow, purple
and white occupied middle or end
positions in the scale of [(reference.
"I have tried this color test among
college students," said Doctor Garth,
"and blue Is the color preferred first.

"For instance, a tnan asks for sari- I

"A sample of a blue cloth, and a *

from which he selects the blue, and
orders a suit of that color. But the *

from both colored cJoths.

the postmaster does not take the '

too, the customer tears up the letters 1

Glover said that the 'department
had been able to clear up the 50,000 ^
delayed cases partly because it had c
waived the old rules requiring many r
affidavits us to the cost of articles al- 11

HT ON POISON
f- j
concerning the qualities of arsenic, as ,
they were then known, was argued !
before the court for many days. The
government experts found traces of
arsenic in Mme. Danval's body which
would amount to one milligram
(.01549 grnln). This, it was argued,
proved that arsenic had been administered
with criminal Intent. A toxicoioclst
for the defense, however, ,
maintained that one milligram was a
perfectly normal amount of ursenlc to '
find In the human body. It was point- j
ed out that the green curtains sur- ?
rounding Mme. Danval's bed had been '
colored with an arsenical dye and con- \
talned an ounce of pure arsenic.
M. Danval was sent to the penal N
settlement of New Caledonia. He was
living there, comparatively free, with
his family, when, in 1902, the order 1
came for his release.
The French government toxicologist !
has just issued a new textbook for ;
consultation at criminal trials In
which it is declared that the presence ' f.
of so small a quantity as one milll- |
gram of arsenic in the human body is ( -(
negligible and ought not to be taken | }j
as incriminating evidence In a charge
of murder. j ,|i
It is on this new ruling that M.
Danval appeals. '

Out of the general mental tests j,
which Doctor Garth has conducted has (j
grown the problem of studying the 1 |
psychology of Indian personality, according
to which certain traits of (]

SEA SCOUTING
"Pine Tree" .Tim, as most of us
mow him, otherwise known as James
K. Wilder, chief sea scout, Is very
mppy over Ids experience in conducing
tlie two sessions of training j
schools for sea scouts at Marion.
Mass. Both periods were well attended
by boys froiti different sections of
lie country. Seven boys and the
icoutmaster made a trip all,the way
'rom Port Arthur. Tex., and, inciden
ally, they worked their passage on
m oil boat hack and forth.
The training school was ideally looted
at the Tabor academy, the offl ers
of which co-operuted splendidly
vith Mr. Wilder In the conduct of the
wo camping jierlods and mude avallible
their facilities without reserve.
The first group were not only hapiy
but very efficient. Their maneurers
and general operations made a
irofound Impression upon Gen. Clar nce
H. Edwards, commander in chief ,
>f the department of New England,
vho took dinner with the sea-scout
ramp one evening.
The enrollment for the second group
vas even larger than the first and
inssed all expectations.
It was not all play, by any means,
or each of the groups had the experi nce
of cruising around Buzzard's
>ay, udder conditions which tested
heir scout training and their endurtnce.
The members of the second
amp were mustered into sey Ice to
o-operate with the comin ee In
harge of the ceremonies incident to

of the landing of the Pilgrims at
