Rat Whips Terrier RULING AS TO SUNDAY POST OFFICE CLOSING Such were the facts as learned by Corpuer Wall and he rendered a verdict of accidental drowning. Since then, however, friends of the Stevens family forwarded a letter written by Skaggs to a relative which aroused the suspicion of foul play.

The Jeffersonvillc authorities were notified of the arrest early Tuesday and an officer is expected to come ftfter the prisoner aa soon as the necessary papers can he secured. Skaggs is said to have been fikwfiTw' company the day before he disappeared. They had been working together as laborers on now city sewer job in Louisville, K.y,, opposite Jcfferson- viLlo, the latter part of February when four days after they hnd taken the jobs the rising river caused a suspension of work. Skaggs, in a talk with a reporter, said that he learned before leaving Louisville for Portsmouth or the dny following his last meeting with Stevens that he bad been killed When informed that a bur- jrhiry charge hnd ulso been placed nKiihist himself said thai lie was innocent.

He claimed fliis is the first time in his life he 1ms ever been avrested, ninl insisted that tie was inno tent of all charges. Skafjgs au Stevens were born Find reared back in Elliott coun ty, Ky.

Inquiries made by Stevens' people also re venled the fact that Skaggs had something like upon his return to Portsmouth while it was known he had no money in Louisville.

"When asked how he came to the money ho claimed lo have found it in hia clothes. Stevens was known to lave had $26 the day before he disappeared. His relatives siis- iect that he was robbed and murdered and his body thrown nto the river to cover up the crime. Acting for the relatives Chief of Police McCnrty communicated such facts as he gathered from them to the coroner at JefTerson- ville and the telegram ordering the arrest of Skagga was the result. What evidence has been developed against him at Jeffersonville remains to be seen.

Bessie, the fine rat terrier, owned by Oscar Dressier, Sunday for She first time in her career, was aested a battle with rats. Bessie's favorite SaUfaath pastime is lo cause a stampede of- rodents on Neil's dump. She had succeeded in killing ten or more big rats when one unusually large one turned upon the dog biting ber in the throat and severing an artery. All fight was taken out of ftcssie for the momeut, and she was removed to her master's home- for repairs. The loeul post office has received the foil owing from the E'ostal Department: "The Post office Department, ield ing to the enti me nt throughout the country, in favor of closing postoffices on Sunday as shown by petitions received from religious organizations, commercial bodies, letters, lias authorized the discontinuance of Sunday service at any postoft'icc where the sentiment was favorable and when such action would be justified.

"Acting upon the public sentiment as has been created, the Oe parlment believes that the discontinuance of Sunday delivery through the carrier's window at least can be marie without inconvenience to the public, under the following conditions: 'The general delivery window should be kept open a sufficient Length of time to accommodate the traveling public and those patrons of the office who call for A New Way for Women.

"To prevent any delay in the tirst delivery Monday morning, carriers should be required to report a little earlier on that day to route their mail. The only alternative in the disc of carriers failing to route" their mail within the prescribed time on Monday morning should be to mire such carriers lo serve sufficient time on Sunday to perform this work. As tins innovation is devised for their par ticular benefit, however, it is believed that most and perhaps all of the carriers would succeed in this respect and would a pride be rearranged so as to givo carriers time off during the week to compensate for the- Sunday collection service, it is requested that you report what allowance would be necessary for the payment of substitute or auxiliary carriers."
