CLEv Err POSTAL ROBBERY

San Francisco, May IA clever
trick by which some bank notes were
extracted from registered letter has
been discovered by Postal Inspector
Munro and Erwin. A registered letter
was recently received from a foreign
country by a man living in this city.
The letter was supposed to contain
some bank notes, but the recipient
found none in it. He could not dis
cover how the notes had been extracted
and brought the letter 10 the postal
inspectors. They examined 1t and
found that the seal was intact and that
the wax placed on the envelope to form
the seal had not been disturbed. It
was only after a most careful exam
ination that the trick was explained
The thief had washed of all the stamps
on the envelope. including the regis
tra.lon stamp; had cut slit in the
envelope. pulled out the bank notes,
and put the stamps back on the en-
velope again, completely hiding the
cut. 1t is not known yet where the
robbery was committed, whether in
this country en- route, or in the foreign
country. but close investigation VII
be made.

suekp BEET IN INDIANA.
Highly Successful Experiments Made In
Raising IL.

Crown Point, Ind, Nov. 29.-At North
Judson, Stark county. Dec. Z. final steps
will be completed in locating one OF the
largest sugar beet factories in this part
Of the country. For the past year ex-
periments have been made in raising
sugar beets in the Kankakee river bot
TOMS and it has been much more sue
cessful than anticipated. The products
have been tested by chemists at the ex-
perimental station at the Purdue uni
versity and they test a very high per
cent. Of sugar so much that sugar
factory will no doubt be built.
A call has been issued for the De-
cember meeting, and scores who are in
terested in beet culture Will attend.
Chemists from Purdue will be In attend
ance as well as Governor Mount, who
is among those interested in the project.
Should the factory materialize, this Will
cause the now worthless Kankakee val
ley to be worth millions OF dollars, as
II extends soldly from South Bend. Ind,
to Momence. Ills, and covers millions
of acres OF land. Those who are up In
beet raising say a net profit OF $50 per
acre can be made in beet raising. Chem
lists at Purdue say the valley land Is
better adapted for this particular busi-
ness than any place In the country.
| Next year Indiana will probably be
| sugar producing state.
