mw YORK, Dec. 3.—Two mail
oft plots were under investigation
by New York police today: one in-
.voiving the looting of mail bags on
“be high seas and the other the sys-
t‘matio robbery of packages from
‘ . Grand Central Terminal post o‘ilce.
Both jobs are believed by author-
.Itch to have been worked by "in-
dders." Five men are under arrest.
three of them seamen who were
brought here from Hamburg Sat-
urday in irons aboard the liner
.‘Minnckahda. and two are mail
(transfer supervisors at Grand Cen-
ltnl terminal, Louis w. Wiegand or
‘Nsw Canaan, Conn.. and Rudolph H.
labrs'kl of Brooklyn.
‘ Guarded by two German pier dc-
‘t'éctivcs. a ship's Carpenter, carpen-
itcr's' mate and messman were
"brought in on the Minnckahda.
‘charged with having ripped open
:mail bags on tho Mongolia. robbing
Ithem of money and tossing the rifled
'aacks into the North sea. F'shcr-
men discovered the bags illlni with
slit envelopes which reveal-2'1 that
American mails had been robbed
and led to the arrest of the sea-
fa‘rers. ’
They had access to the mail room
of the Mongolia. it was learned, and
had been spending money lite pro-
scrbial “drunken sailors" along the
Hamburg waterfront.
The transfer supervisors hell in-
Ventcd an ingenious scheme for
robbing the railways mails, acrord-
ing to postal investigators. it is al-
leged'ihcy pasted new labels over
the original tags denoting consignee
,and destination of packages of guns,
routing the packages to fictitious
persons in postort'lces in smaller
’ cities.
The practice. says detectivm. was
"Co call at the small city post. ofiice
‘and claim the misdirected packages.

SCRANTON. I’a.. Dec. 3.——The
finding of a. boy's skeleton with
clothing making identification pos-
sible in a. swamp near Greeley, Pike
county. Pa... yesterday. lrought to
an end a more than eight year
search for fouraycar-oid Jimmy
Glass. son of Mr: and Mrs. Charles
Glass of Jersey City. A pair of
shoes on the feet and clast'c gar-
ters encircling the bones of the legs
were identilicd by Mrs. Glass as
those worrr by the child wizcr: he
disappeared from their summer
home at Greeley on May 13, 1915,
and for whom search had cvt'endcd
to all parts of North and Soutu Am-
erica and Europe.
Two snaps used to shorten and
lengthen the straps on overalls
found near the skeleton also aided
in the identification, for Mrs Glass
said Jimmy was wearing a. n: v pair
of overalls when he wandered
away. and that they contained maps
similar to those found.
Pike county officials are con-
vinced the bones are those of the
long lost boy.. The skeleton was-
found Saturday by a deer hunter in
a marshy woods at a spot rarely
penetrated by men. It is about two
miles from the boarding house
where Jimmy and his parents were
spending the summer.
There was no clothing except the
shoes found. Thin was due, the au-
thorities said. to the many years the
body had been exposed to the elc~
menu. The tops of the shoes were
badly rotted but the soles which
bore the trademarks were plainly
visible.

of the Finance committee and Rep-
resentative John Q. Tiison a leading
mmeber of the House Ways and
Means committee.
If anything is done about revis~
ing the Voistcad Act, or in any al-
tering of the prohibition situation.
it will come before the Judiciary
committee, of which Senator Frank
ll. llrandegcc is to be chairman. If
anything is to be done about treaties
or agreements for American parti-
cipation in European affairs, it will
come before the Foreign Relations
committee, of which Senator Brand-
cgec is a. senior member. If any—
thing is to he done about railroads.
or about The. coal situation, it will
come before the Interstate Com-
merce committee, of which Repre—

sDr. Josephine Baker
in Children’s Bureau
“‘ASIIIXGTON. Dec. 3.—Appoint-
ment of Dr. Josephine Baker. of
New York, as consulting director in
maternity and infancy and child hy-
giene of the Children's Bureau of
the U. S. Department of Labor is
announced by Grace Abbott. chief of
the bureau.
Dr. Baker is known as one of the
foremost authorities in the .natlon
in the field of child health. Her
resignation last spring from the po-
sition of director of't‘he Bureau of
Child Hygiene of the New ‘Y'brk' City
Department of Health; came after
twenty years of pioneer work for the
welfare of the mothers and babies of
New York. during which the infant
mortality rate in New York was re-
duced from 144 per thousand live
births to 75. little more than half the
former rate. ‘
Dr. Baker organized the Child
Hygiene Division of the New York
City Health Department in 1908. At
that time it was the first bureau of
its kind to be established in the
United Statse. and it also nntedated
the children's bureau. Since then
nearly every state has established
such a. bureau of division.
Dr. Baker's .work. through the
Children‘s Bureau. for the mothers
and babies of the nation. will lie
chiefly in advice in the. determina-
tion of policies and the planning of
work, and in the writing of reports.
Fiery Cross Lighted
of Jimmy Glass for‘ Near Crescent Street
Residents in the section of the
City near Crescent street, were at-
tracted Saturday evening. about 10
o'clock when a fiery cross. in a lot
of that street, near the railroad
track, lighted up that section.
Some one informed the police and
Patrolman Leggyel was sent to the
scene. He reported that the cross
was about 12 feet high, with a six
foot cross bar. The cross was wrap-
ped with burlap. It kept blazing
until about 11 o'clock.
A great many of the residents in
that. section were attracted by the
blaze and went to the scene. Yos-
erday a. number of persons looked
over the charred cross. . Nearly
everyone who viewed it declared it
was not the work of boys. as it ap-
peared to have ,been made by some
one who was familiar with this sort
of work.

MAIL EARLY!
ORa-WELL READ
THIS NEW ORDER
All Letter Carriers will
Quit Work at l 2
Noon this Christmas
Instructions have been received
from the Postmaster General by
Postmaster Edmund E. Crow-e that
all work by letter carriers shall be
limited to 12' o'clock on Christmas
Day. This order is to apply to all
postofflces throughout. the country,
large or email. If carriers cannot
finish their work by, 13 o’clock on
Christmas Day. all mail remaining
undelivered at that. hour is to await
delivery until the following day. By
this order all carriers will have
Christmas dinner at home at a reas-
onable hour and not as late as 8:00
p. m., as has been the custom to a
great extent in the past.
This notice is being sent out at
this early date to further encourage
the "Mail Early and Mail Often"
campaign. During the past few
years there has been a decided im-
provement in this respect, but there
is no reason why it cannot be further
improved. Mail early, means the
gift is in the hands of the recipient
on or before Christmas Day and
not several days after Christmas.
Parcels should be wrapped securely
and tied with strong twine. Tissue
or other flimsy paper should never
be used. Parcels may be marked
“Do not open until Christmas."
Another reason for much conges-
tion in the malls during the holiday
period is the large number of post
cards mailed. It is suggested that
this matter'be given early attention.
There is hardly a person who sends
a. few cards to his or her friends or
relatives but who can tell at this
time to whom they will send these
cards. W'hy not take some evening
during the present week. purchase
your cards and address them to
whom they are to be sent. Some
member of your family if not your-
self will be in the vicinity of the
post-office and there is no better
time to purchase your stamps for
mailing cards than now. Cards sent
in sealed envelopes will require a
two cent stamp, others a one cent
stamp. Stamps are always a handy
thing. to have in the house. Buy
ionrstnow and then you will not
ave o wait in 0
window. kn at the stamp
Again you are urged “Mail Early "
Your parcel will then reach its des-
tination on or before Christmas Day.
Remember. 12 o'clock is the hour
when the letter carriers cease work
on Christmas Day. Allow at least
five days for a. parcel to reach its
destination, if such destination is
within 200 miles and a longer time
for points farther distant. Even lo-
cal mail should be in the mails at
least three days before Christmas.
And do not forget to prepare your
cards for mailing early, buying
stamps in advance of the rush and
depositing them in the mails at
least five days before Christmas Day.

by the Rev. Robert B. Hartley. 1:
member of the Puget Sound confer-

of the economic background of the

lack of social life. declared that
more than three-fourths of the men
employed in the camps were for:-
cigncrs lacking homo ties and with
no religion. He said that the men
fell an easy prey to the I. \V. \V. and
many were professed members of
this organization.
Rev. Mr. Hartley said that it took
many months before the lumber—
.iacks believed that he was not look-
ing for graft. He said that it was
through the hospital work that he
finally was able to gain. the confi-
dence of the lumber-jacks. He spoke
particularly of the campaign to edu-
cate the men into saving their monev
and opening bank accounts. It was
through this method that the most
good was accomplished. In closing.

that no price could compensate for
