ia the employ OF the United Stxtes
Government checked them before they

there were . couple of individuals VINO
led the inspectors q merry chase and, IN
spate Of the efforts Of the authorities,
the mails. particularly IN the southern
states and Canada. were flooded
vish circulars offering the usual
inducements. The inspectors learned
that al. letters were TO 10 sent TO the
New York postof1ice. but An inveatiga-
tion showed that the mail was ordered
forwarded TO Washington. Inquiries
IA the latter place elected nothing
more than that the mail from there
was forwarded 10 Columbus, O., and
after following the trail up il was
found that Windsor was the last place
where the mail was ordered sent. Ac-
cordlngly last Tuesday two United
States secret service inspectors called
