WORLD'S NEWS EPITOMIZED Complete Review of Happenings of Greatest Interest From All Part of World. Southern. Virginia welcomed home Gov. Wood row Wilson, the eighth of her native sons to be chosen president of the United States. "It's fine to be back again," exclaimed the president-elect as he stepped indoors. Staunton was not alone in celebrating the arrival in Virginia of the distinguished visitor. Bonfires blazed the way, ' fireworks shot across the skies and red lights threw a festive glare at all stations along the route, though the train glid ed by most of them without stopping. A complete confession of how she had forced Nick Wilburn to murder her husband, Jim King, in cold blood in order that she might collect $2,000 insurance on his life, was made by Mrs. King in Macon, Ga., following her arrest. The story of the deliber ate plot to remove the husband is one of the most graphic that has ever been revealed. The woman leaves nothing untold. The woman says she first tried to poiscn her hus band by putting sychnine in his whiskey, but, when he came home, sick, she relented, and gave him something to make him vomit, but the murder was finally committed by Wilburn while King was hunting in the woods near his home. "You are not dead!'' After saying this Joseph Howell, aged 12, who had been playing "Indian and Cow boy," with a harmless air rifle, pick ed up a shotgun and shot and killed Ms' brother, Henry, aged 5, in the front yard of their residence, 3011 Annunciation street, New Orleans. Neighbors hurrying up found Joseph sobbing: "I killed my brother and 1 want to be punished for it. Call a policeman." The dynamiting of three buildings in Fairburn, Ga., by unknowns not only created serious damage, but caused the citizens of the town to spend a Christmas that was far from peaceful. Explosions that wrecked the town calaboose, shattered the front of the home of the town mar shal and blew out the front of the office of Attorney Parker have cre ated a feeling .of terror that could not be subdued by the holiday spirit. No one was hurt, however. The town is using all efforts to capture the culprits. Herman Ehrlich, confidential asisst ant to Louis Pizitz, owner of one of the largest department stores of Bir mingham, Ala., has disappeared, leav ing a shortage estimated at $45,600. Although it is definitely known that the schooner Georgiana went down with fourteen aboard during the West Indian hurricane, informa tion with regard to the safety of the schooner is wanting. General. The 57 passengers and 18 of the crew of the United Fruit company. sreamship Turrialba, ashore at Brig antine shoals, nine miles north of Atlantic City; N. J., arrived in New Vork City on board the United States revenue cutter Seneca. The cutter had stood by the stranded vessel all night, and passengers, part of the crew and the baggage and mail were safely transferred and the Seneca started on its journey to this port. The sea was smooth and the weath er fair when the transfer was maae and the passengers experienced little discomfort. The political deadlock of the Con servative and Democrats of Portugal is developing rapidly. The Conserva tives predominate in the cabinet, while near half the members of the Portuguese parliament are Democrats. Both parties are endeavoring to or ganize a coup d'etat. The govern ment, alarmed at the possibility of trouble, turned out all available po lice and troops. As soon as the steamer of which the Conserva tive chief was aboard was docked, there was tremendous uproar of cheers and groans, and the Democrats made a determined rush, with the ob ject of capturing the -leader of the rival party. The Conservative chief had been in Switzerland. Fire of undetermined origin de stroyed St. Joseph's college and academy, a Catholic institution, at San Angelo, Texas. The loss is es timated at $40,000, with about $20,- ')!) insurance. Col. Daniel Burns Dyer, one of Kansas City's picturesque character, is dead at Beaumont, Mo. Fourteen prisoners, led by Edward Hrown, Paul Jones and Joseph Cobb, three young men from Brooklyn, N. Y.. who were arrested as automobile bandits in Denver, Col., made a dash for liberty, but were frustrated by guards. Governor Marshall granted one par Son and twelve paroles and the thir teen inmates of the sttae's penal in stitution were told tney would be per mitted to spend Christmas in theii homes. A cheque for $71,719.5?, proceeds of the sale of the cotton and cotton seed convict farm in Sunflower coun ty, Mississippi, was received by the state treasurer. The sum of $69, 865.73 represented the sale of S66 bales of cotton by a Memphis firm at 14.57 and 14.25 cents per pound. The remainder, $1,853.85, is the pro ceeds from about three carloads of cotton seed, part of an order for 20 cars received. Examination of the body of Mrs. Sarah Johnson, who died with her sister, Miss Mary Scott, died of pneu mania, apparently in direst want, re vealed that a bag around her waist contained $5,604 in cash and three cold watches. In Miss Scott's St. Louis effects were found deeds and papers showing bank deposits. Little is known of the sisters. - Guy de Villepion, a former teacher at a San Francisco, Cal., academy, who arrived at San Francisco from the west coast of South America, told a tale of having been fattened for a feast by cannibals while attempting to cross from Ciudad to Buenos Ayres. He. said he was mystified by the kindness extended him until he saw that it was. directed to the one end of getting him fat. Then he left. A sum of $200,000 has been provid ed for the establishment in New York City of America's first clearing house for mentally defective persons v and for the scientific study of the causes of" mental deficiency according to an nouncement. A corportation tax issue involving the' right of the Federal government to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes from thousands of corporations which have leased their property, will be argued in the Unit ed States Supreme court in January The case, according to an announce ment by Solicitor General Bullitt, is that of the Minhall and Schuylkill Haven railroad company, which sued the collector of internal revenue at Philadelphia for $5,000 collected by the government "under the corpora tion tax law. m Samuel Matthews Robertson, 60. for twenty years a member of con gress from the Sixth Louisiana dis trict, is dead at his home at Baton Rouge, La. Mr. Robertson had been ill for a long time, never having re covered from an operation performed two years ago. For the last several months he had been confined to his bed. On his retirement from con gress at the end of the Fifty-eighth .session he was the ranking member of the ways and means committee of the house. An unidentified negro was shot and instantly killed while attempting to rob the express car of St. Louis and San Francisco, No. 412, .Oklahoma City to Kansas City. Twelve hundred immigrants from all parts of the world, detained on the threshold of the new world, at Ellis Island, New York City, were giv en a taste of Uncle Sam's Christmas cheer that increased their anxiety to enter. The viceroy of India and. his wife, Baron and Baroness Hardinge, mirac ulously escaped assassination by a na tive fanatic while making their cere monial entry into Delhi, the new im perial capital of India. Three splin ters of the powerful bomb, which killed one native attendant and injur ed another, penetrated the back and shoulders of the viceroy. The doc tors who removed the metal splin ter from the wounds declare it mar velous that the viceroy escaped fatal tal injuries. Washington. With the declaration that the Unit ed States should raise all of its own sugar, the department of agriculture issued an appeal to the . American farmer to go in for the cultivation of the sugar beet. There are 2,000, 000 short tons of beets now imported annually, says the department, which should be raised at home. Arthur M. Beaupre, the United States minister at Havana, and Man uel Sanguilly, the Cuban secretary of state, signed a treaty providing for the addition by lease of a considera ble tract of land to the American na val station at Guantanamo. The land is needed principally for its water supply. In return for it, the United Stages government surrenders its claim to a site for a naval station at Bahia Honda, on the north coast of Cuba, 55 miles southwest of Havana. The American government has never occupied Bahia Honda. The coming to America, under the' name of Euiz, of Cipriano Castro, one time president and practically dicta tor of Venezuela, was communicated to the state department from the American embassy in Paris. The Venezuelan exile is now aboard La Touraine, which is on her way to New York, and the state department is con fronted with the disagreeable ques tion of what to do with him. Castro has been kept as much as possible under surveillance for the last three years. It is admitted that if he is kept out of the United States, it must be done under colors of public health. The foreign trade of the United States in 1912 will exceed all previ ous records. Figures just compiled by the bureau of statistics, depart ment of commerce and labor, indi cate that imports of the year will ap proximate $1,800,000,000 against $1, 563,000,000 in 1910, which was the former high record year for imports and tha tthe exports will aggregate $2,400,000,000 against $2,093,000 in the former high record year for experots. 1911.

HOW PARCEL POST RATES ARE Charges Are Regulated Under the Zone System. BIG ENTERPRISE LAUNCHED Eleven Pounds Is the Limit In Weight for a Single Package Anything That Will Not In jure Other Mail Can Be Sent. By EDWARD B. CLARK. .With the coming of the New Year the United States government will en ter into a new field of enterprise the transmittal of merchandise by what is known as the parcel post. For years there has been a demand for such a system of inexpensive transmittal of packages. The camps of favor and disfavor of the parcel post scheme have been about equally divided. Finally at the last session of congress a bill was fassed which will put the plan into operation, but only it must be said in little more than an experimental way. It Is the intention of Uncle Sam to move rather slowly in the parcel post matter. He wants tdfind how popu lar It will be, how much it will cost the government, and whether there is to be a profit or loss at the end of each year If it is found that the plan Is successful from the point of view of the people, which means the government also, the parcel post will be extended until finally It reaches the proportions which its proponents say they believe it is destined to as sume. Zone System Explained. ! It Is no exaggeration to say that thousands upon thousands of Inquir ies have been made of the postmaster general as to Just what the parcel post will mean to the people. It "was the law of congress establishing the system which made provision for a division of the country Into zones and Into 35.000 units which are to be used as centers in describing the, cir cles which mark the boundaries of the zones. There has been no clear understanding, apparently, of this zone system, but really It is a very simple matter. The accompanying map shows the country divided into zones from the unit in which Washington Is sit uated, as the center. Accompanying the map is a table showing the rate of postage per pound for parcels from Washington to places within all the zones. Each unit contains an area thirty miles square. Now each unit is a center from which the zones are drawn and so every unit in the coun try no matter where it is situated will have zones drawn from it just exactly as Washington has them drawn from It. For instance, . take Keokuk, la.. which is In a unit in the fifth zone. From that will be drawn circles ex actly as they are drawn from Wash ington and they will be numbered from Keokuk as number one, just as they are numbered from Washington as number one. Of course, however, Zone Six will have a different geo graphical position as related to Keo kuk than it has .as related to Wash ington, but as the radius of the circles drawn from Keokuk is the same length as the radius of the circles drawn from Washington, Keokuk's Zone Six will be just as far from its center as Washington's Zone Six Is. How Rates Are Fixed. It can be seen from this readily enough that the postal rates from Washington to its particular zone will be the same as the postal rates from Keokuk to its particular zones. Each unit being about thirty miles square will of course contain in most cases a number of postoffices, but each office in the same unit is considered as be ing the center of the circles from which . the zones are drawn. , The rates of postage are fixed from the unit In which the sending postofflce is situated, but the price to every place In any zqne is just the same. To Il lustrate, It will cost exactly the same amount to send a parcel from Wash ington to Erie, Pa., that it costs to send It to Atlanta, Ga., because Erie and Atlanta with reference to Wash ington are situated In the fourth zone. The rates therefore are fixed from the unit in which the postofnee is located, but they are the same from that office to any point in any one zone. It will be seen by reference to the table of rates of postage that it will cost more per pound to send a pack age a long distance than it does to send It a short distance. The rate in creases for a package weighing one pound at the rate of one cent for each zone. No package weighing more than 11 pounds can be sent un- ! der the new parcel post . law. It should be said right here that on the long hauls the parcel post may not be able to compete with the express companies, but that on shorter hauls it can so compete. It was the ex pressed desire of the legislators and of the postofflce officials that the par cel post system should be made of particular use to persona having farm and factory products to transmit to customers. It is probable that pro ducers must study the rates of post age and the convenience of trans mittal and compare them with the cost and convenience under present methods before individually a man can determine whether he is to profit or not by the change. Then there Is an other thing to be considered and which only can be known definitely when fuller regulations have been made to specify exactly what kind of things can be sent by parcel post. It can be said in a general way that any thing can be sent which is properly wrapped and which will not Injure other mall matter with which It may come in contact. Copy Foreign Countries. It Is probable that the government will adopt a means of transportation for certain kinds of its merchandise much like those which have been adopted in parcel post countries abroad. What the English call ham pers, basket-like arrangements, prob ably will be adopted, and as these can be kept separate from the ordinary mail matter it is believed that the regulations as finally adopted will al low the sending of eggs, butter, dress ed poultry, live poultry, honey, fruit, and other products of the country. The 11-pound limit for a single pack age may work at first against any very extended use of the parcel post for some of the articles which have been named. Of course, more weight can be sent if it is sent in different parcels, but the cost In that case would be heavier because the in crease per pound on a single package is not great up to 11 pounds, and probably it would increase at no great er ' rate if the government were to raise the limit of weight which is now fixed. To make it simpler, it will cost more to send two packages of 11 pounds than it would to send one package of 22 pounds if the govern ment eventually should allow a heavi er single package to be carried and should charge in proportion just what it does now for one package of 11 pounds weight. Every postmaster in the United States will have a parcel post map like the one which 'is here reproduced except that the zone lines will be shown with the unit of his postofflce as a center. All that a postmaster will have to do when a parcel is pre sented for transportation is to find out in what zone the destination of the package lies. His table will show him instantly the rate per pound from RATES OF POSTAGE Parcels weighing four ounces or less are mailable at the rate of one cent for each ounce or fraction of announce, regardless of distance. Parcels weighing more than four ounces are mailable at the pound rate,as shown by the following table, and when mailed at this rate any fraction of a pound is considered a full pound. 1 st zone 2d 3d 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th Wt.

The parcel post will take nothing but fourth-class mat ter. Printed matter is still In the third-class designation. . Therefore books cannot be sent by the parcel post system. This the postofflce au thorities seem to think is in a way unjust and may work a hardship. It may be that in the future the law will be changed so as to include all print ed matter. It seems to be certain that an attempt will be made to bring about this change as speedily as pos sible. Postmaster General Hitchcock has ordered that postmasters be advised that parcel post packages cannot be accepted for mailing unless they bear a distinctive parcel post stamp and have attached to them the return card of the sender. A series of distinctive stamps is now in course of prepara tion for this class of mail as required by the law creating the parcel post system. Consignments of these stamps will be ready for shipment to all postoffices in ample time for the establishment of the new system on New Year's day. The postofflce department has given Instruction to every postmaster in the country to enlighten-his patrons as much as possible on the general sub ject of the parcel post and especially on the use of the special stamps and the necessary attachment of the re turn card. The law requires that all fourth-class matter mailed a:ier Jan uary 1, 1913, without parcel post stamps attached shall be treated as "Held for postage" matter. Parcel post packages will be mailable only at postoffices, branch postoffices, let tered and local named stations, and such numbered stations as may be designated by the postmasters. Rate on Seeds Not Affected. It should be said that the act of congress which puts a parcel post plan into operation does not In any way affect the postage rate on seeds, cut tings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants as fixed by section 482 of the postal laws and regulations. The classification of articles mail able as well as the weight limit. "the rates of postage, zone or zones and other conditions of mailability under the act of congress, if the postmaster general shall find on experience "that they or any of them are such as to prevent the shipment of articles de sirable, or shall permanently render the cost of the service greater than the receipts of the revenue therefrom, he is hereby authorized, subject to the consent of the interstate commerce commission after Investigation, to re form from time to time such classifi cation, weight limit, rates, zone or zoneB or conditions, in order to pro mote the service to the public or to insure the receipt of revenue from such service adequate to pay the cost thereof." Through many years different mem bers of the house and senate have been interested in promoting parcel post legislation. Among the men most active In securing the legislation which soon is to go into effect as law are Senator Jonathan Bourne of Oregon, 'Representatives David J. Lewis of Maryland and Wlliiam Sul zer of New York, who has just been elected governor of that state. 1 the rates of postage in the First APPROVES RULES T Postmaster General Issues Reg ulations Governing System.
