Montana Man Will Lead in
Movement for Postal Sav-ings-Senator
Says People
Have Voiced Approval of
Proposed System.
By John E. L&throp.
(Spatial DUpatcb to The JounuLt
Washington, D. C. Dec. 7. With
prospect for legislation this winter
establishing postal savings banks goes
the concurrent probability that leader
ship In ths movement will be vested in
one of the western senators, Thomas
H. Carter of Montana.
Senator Carter Introduced the last
session a bill designed to create a pos
tal government savings bank system,
which was embodied In senate bill 6484,
and which had favorable consideration
in a committee report. In a large
measure, this bill and Its proposals be
came a fundamental Issue in the cam
paign this summer, and the position
advocated by Senator Carter was en
dorsed officially b? the dominant
party, in Its platform and by Republi
can speakers in every state.
People Want Them.
"I believe that none can logically
deny that the proposal for postal sav
ings banks was endorsed by the people
at the polls," so Senator Carter said
when asked his opinion as to prospects
for such legislation this winter. "Cer
tainly, the Issue was clearly drawn
and the people supported the postal
savings plan as against that for guar
antee of bank deposits. I hope for
successful passage of the measure this
session, and shall expect to push this
bill on the ground that it was endorsed
at the polls In the national election."
It Is thought that the Carter bill,
after being taken up again by the
committee of postofflces and post roads,
will be altered in some respects, but
will lose none of Its distinctive fea
tures, which afe:
Every postoffice authorized to issue
money- orders is to be compelled to ac
cept deposits from the public for sav
ings, the postmaster genoral being em
powered to designate such other offi
ces asie will to do the same.
Banks for Tonng.
Any person TO years or older may
open savings accounts, or a married
woman (likely to be a popular feature)
without Interference from her husband.
or anyone legally authorized for a
minor person;
Only one account may be opened by
any one person.
At iMist one dollar must be deposited
at first, and thereafter deposits shall
be in 10 cent amount or in multiples
of 10.
No one may depoBlt more than $200
in anv one calendar merit n.
Interest at two per cent per annum
shall he nald bv the government.
Denoslts shall be made bv one Derson
for a total of no more than $1000, and
no Interest shall be paid on deposits
in excess or. ou, exclusive or accumu
lated Interest.
Deposits are not to be subject to
garnishment, attachments or other legal
procedure, and shall be regarded as
nubile monevs. subleet to all Drefer-
encps and safeguards provided therefor
under the existing statutes.
T . ...... I . . V.
a rate from all other moneys by post
masters.
Withdrawal of rands.
The section which has been the sub
lect of general discussion Is that an
pertaining to withdrawal of these
savings funds from the banks of de
posits and their redeposit by the post
master general in such national banks
as he may designate as depositories.
During the campaign this nrovlsion
was attacked by the Democrats on the
ground that It would causa the concen
tration or savings runds in central
cities, end In turn their transfer to
Wall street banks. It Is claimed
however, that the general financial and
Industrial health of the nation will be
more safely assured if there be not
withdrawal from the usual currents of
business of the sums deposited as sav
ings ny tne smaller owners or wealth
and that the transfer provision will
enable the constant utilisation of the
moneys according to the locality where
thev are most needed.
Effort will be made to induce the
congress to accept the postal measure
vtnj8 winter, notwithstanding it is the
short session and the appropriation bills
consume the greater part of the ses
sion s time.

whom she suspected of taking her hus
band's life. When their tongues began
to wag, it is supposed tney tamed more
about their crime than they intended
to and the result was that, fearing the
woman would betray them, they caught
her and strangled her. She was found
dead yesterday in a lonely cabin.
Several suspects have been arrested,

Vancouver, B. C. Dec. 7. The refusal
of Dominion government officials to
remove their shoes prior to entering
the Sikh temple here yesterday after
noon led to a series of events som

whioh suddenly changed to a startling
climax Uiat for a few seconds narrowly
approached an impromptu uprising of
200 Sikhs and Hindus who claimed that
an alleged insult had been delivered
to their leader and priest, Teja Singh.

Harkin Sturpcts Plot.
On reaching the temple the officials
were reouested to remove their shoes
and conduct their business in the sac
red precincts. Harkin advised them
not to enter the upper or sacred part
of the building, ag every-circumstance
pointed to a carefully laid plan to com
pel tne ornciais to enter mo temple,
which act would be used as a glaring
Insult to religion and flashed all over
India as an invasion of the temple
In an attempt to force Hindus to leave
British Columbia. Furthermore, all bul
Harkin were averse to removing their
shoes.
Teja Singh appointed himself priest
for the afternoon and refused to see
the officials, arguments for nearly two
hours taking; place between the offi
cials and Hindu messengers on the cold,
dtuno ground at the rear of the temple.
As the ornciais lert two derisive
cheers of, "Ouru Nanak Kl Yal" (Vic

not gone far when a runner recalled

Teja who was backed by an angry mob
of Hindus who cried loudly in protest.
A riot was averted only by the prompt

Mrs. Envius"Just because Mrs. Swell's husband has

clothes for the millmen right here in this town. "
AnJty Drudge "Yes, so can I; and she isn't a bit asham
ed of it. She was just telling me yesterday about
the first time she used Fels-Naptha in her washing.
It made her work so easy that she had time to be
bright and happy and help her man along."
It saves you money.
That's a queer thing to say of soap.
But it's true of Fels-Naptha.
How? Simple as A, B, C.
Clothes cost money. When you boil
clothes you weaken their fibre just as you
soften meat or vegetables by boiling. Hard
rubbing wears them out.
When you wash clothes with
Fels-Naptha you neither boil nor hard-rub
them. Fels-Naptha does the work far
better in cold or lukewarm water in half the
time and bother.
Your clothes will wear twice as long if
washed with Fels-Naptha. And they'll be
cleaner, whiter and sweeter after every
washing than you could get them in any
other way.
All that's required is to . follow easy
directions on the back of the red and green
wrapper. Be sure and get the genuine

here is not a scientllla of truth in

"These men, who seek to promote
personal Interests by assuming the po
sition of character assassins, are lha
worst enemies of the labor movement
and of society in general.
"I shall not at this time dignify
those Individuals by naming them, but
when the National convention meets
masks will be torn off and the perfidy
of those men will be exposed.
