Han cock of Collector Bailey's office Postoffice Receipts (iron -Based upon the splendid growth of the Raleigh postoffice, Post master Bart M. Catling, who has such a race for his money, has received since taking charge an increase in salary of $101). The raise is most notable. The receipts for the year January 1, 1911! to December 1,1913, were $134.310. 4t. But from January 1, 1914 to Decem ber 31, 1914 were $164,368. 23, mak ing D increase of. $30,057.77. This is one of the greatest gains of all tin years, perhaps the very highest. When the Covernment saw what the Postoffice was bringing in, it ifrAAediately gave Mr. Catling $100 vaerease and it is quite probable that another raise will be his in a ahort time. The figures of the post offices have always been regarded a good business indication in Raleigh especially.

The primary for the selection of a Mayor and Board of Town Commissioners was held here Friday night with the result that Dr. K. P. B. Bonner will be the next Mayor and the Board of Town Commissioners will be com posed of Messrs. A. H. Webb, Jr., George W. Dill, J. T. Davenport, Richard Fodrie and Gilbert Willis. The old Board was placed in nomi nation, with the exception of one member, by Mr. W. M. Webb and coupled with this ticket was the name of G. D. Canfield to serve as Mayor. Mr. Canfield. at the eleventh hour, stated that he would serve on either ticket and his defeat for that office is due solely to his having allied him self with the old Board and not hav ing made his position known to the voters before the night of the pri mary. The main issue in the fight was the Sunday closing which has beon in vogue here during the past two years. For this tin old Board was held responsible. It is known that the new officers nominated last night are in favor of Sunday opening of the Drug stores, with proper restrictions, and hv. isj to this that their nomination whs made. Over 3o0 persons were present and much enthusiasm prevailed through out the proceedings. AARON IPOCK PUT UNDER PEACE BOND j. C.

Street yesterday at noon, but he swore the case off from this magistrate, and it was sent to Justice of the Peace Walter Fulford, who tried him on the charge of making an assault on J. C. Pugh and wife Mamie Pugh, of the same neighborhood. The prosecuting wit ness also asked that the defendant be placed under a peace bond, as he had threatened to kill them. They swore that they had a reason to fear and did fear bodily harm at the hands of the defendant lpock. After hearing the evidence, Squire Fulford, dismissed the latter case but rendered a verdict of guilty in the assault case and taxed lpock with the cost. The prosecuting witnesses swore that while passing the home of lpock in a cart, he picked up what appear ed to be a cart round, and told them he would kill them. It appears that the trouble is the result !.df grudge, and the defendants alleged dislike for' women. Several months ago lpock had Pugh arrested on a war rant charging him with shooting at lpock, but when the case went be fore the grand jury they failed to find a true bill, and it is alleged that Pugh and lpock have not spoken to each other since that time. The de fendant declared that he did not pick up the cart round or make any attempt to assault either Pugh or his wife. Henderson and Lee represented the State, while the interests of the defendant were looked after by Ex Judge D. L. Ward.

IS THE INNES CASE BOBS UP AGAIN U. S. Supreme Court to Pass On Important Question In This Connection Atlanta, April 17. Information re ceived by Mrs. John W. N'elms from San Antonio. Texas, indicated that a decision by the United States Su preme Court in Washington, on the question of allowing an appeal by Victor E. linn s and Mrs. Innes from the Texas Court of Appeals, will be handed down in the next three or four days. A deDial of the motion would mean ihe loss by t lie Inneses of their last chance to prc enl eradication to Geor gia. They would be turned over to the Atlanta authorities on the requisi tion of Governor Slaton, honored by the Texas Governor several months ago, and immediately would be brought here to face trial on local charges of larceny after trust in con nection with t he disappearance of Mrs. Xelms' daughteis, Mrs. Louis Nelms Dennis and Miss Beatrice Nelms. Should tin appeal be allowed, the Supreme Court would docket and hear the case in regular order. This would mean another long delay perhaps as much as two yeais before the ques tion of extradition finally would be settled. It was just one year ago last Wednesday night Mrs. Nelms said to day, that Mrs. Innes "appeared in At lanta and first crossed their path." It was at this time that Mrs. Dennis is said to have given her large sums of money, which acts constitute the larceny after trust charges on which the Innes were indicted by the Ful ton Grand Jury. It was in June that the two sisters mysteriously vanished since which time no word has been received from either of them. LA FOLLETTE SAYS WILSON IS WEAK Washington, April 17.

R AN ASHEVILLE CITIZEN TRIES TO BLACKMAIL CAPITAL CITY Don G. Elias From "The Land of the Sky" Hits Raleigh and at the Same Time Runs Into a Bunch of Trouble and Is Arrested His Story and Subsequent Events Furnish Much Mystery and Many Thrills Raleigh, April 17. Don G. Elias, of Asheville, was a prisoner who had all the good wishes of the officers when they arrested him on a charge oi DiacKman last mgm ana tins; morning were forced to continue his! case until Monday morning. Mr. Elias had returned from South j Carolina where he went to attend a : wedding and having twice lost money in Italeigh in some unaccountable way, he set a trap for the boys whom he believed to have rifled his pockets . in a barber shop here. The first I robberies occurred in February. One of these occurred on a certain Fri day when' $20 disappeared and the following Monday when $20 yn stolen. At that time he did not have any suspicion until the second rob bery when he recalled that he had pulled off his coat in the shop on Hargett street and his supposition was that shoe shines who had the freedom of Jiis coat performed the operation. Set A Trap. Thursday of this week. Mr. Elias went to the chief of the Raleigh police and told of the robbery sev eral weeks ago. They agreed that marked bills would help and with a fair purse Mr. Elias went to the shop accompanied by a policeman. Mr. Elias fell back in the ohair and took a protracted treatment to give the shines time. When he came out he opened his purse and found $30 gone. He reported the loss right there and Policen.un Nichols .vent in to examine. The searoli amounted to nothing. Then the proprietors, J. M. MjHs and S. B. Equels came to the police station and asked that they be search ed,, suggesting in fairness that Mr. Elias submit to the examination. AH were inspected but no money was found. Later a warrant was sworn out for Mr. Elias and he was artesst ed yesterday evening and held for trial Tuesday. He asked for Lia trial this morning but the barber r were so busy that they, sought continuance' i!l II -I until ivioniiay. Left Money Every Time The strange thing about the rob bery is that each time it was perfot m ed the compassionate thief left a portion of the money. The circum stance, however, did not prevent Mr. Eliaa from taking the view that the shines took the money. To the officer it looked like s smarlei crook but the AsbeiriUe man never sus peoted either of the proprietors He was so amazed when Officer Nichols took him under arrest that he thought the" policeman was joking. Mr. Nichols did not arrest him pitbMfl) but had him to call at the office, so great was the policeman's betiet that a wrong had been done the Asheville man.

I had never triad 'it before, and I am giad to state that less than one 25c. bottle fixed me up apparent ly as good as ever." CkmU C. Campbell, Florence, Texas: Mi . Elias said today and in that he is backed up by the chief and by he subordinate. "It never oceurraf to me that I was not doing something for which they would commend me and that they would not be gfad to have any crook in their shop ex posed. I told the chief that I would be willing to lose some more money to catch the thief." Who Ha Is Mr. Elias is a son of the late Kopo Elias, one of the most noted of West ern North Carolina politicians and lawyers, the greatest admirer that Orover Cleveland had as president and the equal of Joseph P.
