Extension Of Parcel Post System

Is Considered.
A CONFERENCE WITHJKOUSTON
Effort Making To Put Producers
In Closer Touch With
The Consumers.
Washington, Sept. 11. Plans for de
veloping the parcel post as an agency
to promote better marketing conditions
between the farm and the city, were dis
cussed at a conference between Sec
retary of Agriculture Houston, Congress
man David J. Lewis.Jof Maryland, and
John C. Koons, a member of the Parcel
Post Commission of ne Postoffice De
partment. For some; time the Depart
ment of Agriculture exrerts have been
studying schemes U fm prove the mark
eting facilities in -America. They want
to put the "peop'e who produce food
supplies in closer touch with the people
who consume them.
While no definite conclusions were
reached at the conference, the sugges
tion was made that the Postofficc De
partment and the Department of Ag
ricelt re may act as joint agents
to bring the city consumer and the pro
ducer closer together.. It was thought
that the parcel post, touching the
farmer in the country and the con
sumer in the city, could be used to
advantage should the farmer be made
to realize its possibilities.
The farmer has been slow in taking
"hold of the parcel post as a produce
transportation condition. The cause
of this is that the armcr does not know
the city consumer and the. city con
turner docs not know the farmer,
and it is believed that the Po6toffice
Department and Agriculture Depart
ment working together may put the
two in touch with each other.
The suggestion was also made that
bi reaus of information coi:Id be es
tablished in the post offices, which would
be used to disseminate information
about marketing. Farmers having pro
duce for sale could advise the postal
b: re tu of information, and by means of
bi 1 tins posted in the postofficc or
Bit ' Ing hquiries over the telephone,
the cit: consumer could be advised
of the nr.me of the farmer and the
price and kind of farm produce he has
ready for the market. The consumer
could then place his order with the
farmer for a "market basket" to be
shipped by parcel post.

Washington, Sept. 11. Vice-P.esi-den
Alfred H Smith, in charge of
operations on the New York Central
ines, explained yesterday to the Inter
State Commerce Commission the neces
sity, from an operating view point,
of a proposed issue of $167,000,000
of reftndlrg rr.crtgrr.e tcr.ds concern
ing which the commission is m'aking
an investigation.
Primarily, Mr Smith said the reason
for the expenditure of immense sums of
money now being put into New York
Central facilities and equipment was
the demand of the travelling and snip
ing public He explained in detail
the requirements of the system in
New York Albany Rochester Syra
cuse Buffalo and other places and said
wou'd be absolutely necessary to
four-track the system between New
York and Albany because of the den
sity of the traffic.
The volume of traffic was indicated
by the statement that 800 trains a
day are operated in and out of the
Grand Central Station at Forty-second
street New York.
Mr. Smith said the New York Cen
tral was equipped with the best possi-
e signalling system automatic and
electrically operated, but that he hact-
experimente 1 with probably SO auto
matic train-stop devices without find
ing one practicable.
"We have one under test that looks
promising, but it has not been tired
out thoroughly,' he added.
Secretary Pardee, of the New York
Central, made a detailed statement
of the financial operations of the sy -tem
and from the viewpoint of the
nancial side of the business, gave a
technica explanation of the distribu-
ion of the funds to be derived and the
advantages that would accrue from the
flotation of the proposed bond issue.
It is likey that a further hearing by
the commission may be held before
the conclusion of the investigation.

NO DAMAGES FOR
VANCEBORD MAN
Claims Chief Of Police Badly Beat
Him While On Way To
Prison
It is unwise to trust the man who
trusts no one.
One of the ' most interesting cases
on the docket at the present term
Craven County Superior Court
was taken up yesterday morning.
This ii the case of W. H. Clark vs.
fo'.vn of Vanceboro, Mayor T. S. Jack
son and Chief of Police W. H. Smith,
in which the Plaintiff Clark is suing for
damages in the sum of fifteen thousand
dollars for being locked up in the town's
jail, which he claims was in asf.lthy,
unsanitary condition and for personal
injury at the hands of the defendant
Smith.
The arrest and incarceration tooV
place in August, 1912. It is claimed that
Clark was intoxicated and was raising
a disturbance and that it was necessary
to take him into custody. Clark could
not give bond for his appearance
on the following day and was placed in
the town jail where he remained during
the night. Before the officer got his
prisoner to jaH there was a scuffle
in which Clark came out second best.
In his contention the plaintiff claims
that he was attacked by the officer
when he, Clark, called him "John Dee,
and after throwing him to the ground,
beat him unmercifully. He further
contends that the jail was not only
filthy, but that it was badly ventilated
and that he suffered greatly during the
time he was incarcerated also after his
release.
The town of Vanceboro contends
that the jail was reasonably comfort
able and clean and that there was no
cause for the plaintiff to suffer from
incarceration. The defendant Smith
claims that he did not maliciously
attack the plaintiff Clark not did he use
undue force while carrying him to
Jail.
Judge Whedbee sustained motion
oretenus and discharged Mayor Jack
son. The case was not concluded
at the close of the day's session and a
special session was held last night.
The case was given to the jury at
10:30 o'clock. At 11:20 they had not
reached a verdict and Judge Whedbee
ordered that a recess be taken until
this morning.
