THOSE NUMEROUS HOLD-UPsCD
The Police say That They Are
Largely Imaginary.

Largely Imaginary.
Every day or so there comes a re-
port either to the police or to the news
paper offices, that some one has been
held up and robbed in some portion of
the city; and. as result, the impression
has gone forth that Richmond is over
run with footpads, who are operating
without fear Of the police.
As a matter Of fact, Richmond IS not
overrun with these gentry, and genuine
hOld-ups are not of as frequent occur
renee as would appear. There may have
been one or two such cases, but the po-
lice, who are especially alert now, say
that there IS no such epidemic of rob-
berries as. are reported. In other words
they DO not believe the stories that are
being put forth by alleged victims Of foot
pads. and have satisfied themselves that
there is nothing in the majority Of the
cases that have been reported.
Special inquiry was made by the Dis
patch last night Of officers i'm charge at
the First. Second and Third Police-sta-
lions. and I'm each case they pronounced
the hold-ups as largely imaginary. At
the First Station. Sergeant Whitlock said
that man who gave out last week that
he had been held UP and robbed near
the Chesapeake and Ohio Depot, Of S1O6j
applied as a tramp for lodgings Tuesday
night He was accommodated, and while
I'm the station was clos iy questioned
concerning the alleged hod-up. He final
" admitted that he never had been held
up. and that he didn't have $l065 TO be
robbed Of.
Several other alleged cases have been
investigated by the police, and have been
nroYed to be foxes.

NORFOLK, VA, January G-CSpe-
cial)-Norfolk's young postmaster. w. w.
Degge, is short in his accounts to the ex-
tent of $3.50. and has been suspended
from his position. and the office is now
in the hands OF his bondsmen. His as
sistant, General T.. NJ. Henry is also sus-
pended.
Inspector Clum. OF the Post-Ofiice De-
partment. has been here about a week,
investigating the accounts Of Mr.. Degge,
and, after a thorough examination
found the shortage and made the sus-
pensions. He appointed Mr.. W. II. II.
Trice. a prominent real estate man. and
one Of Mr.. Degge's bondsmen, TO the
postmastership and Mr. James W. Long
to the assistants position. The latter
was once postmaster here. Mr.. Clum
says that In his six years experience as
an inspector this is the largest shortage
he has ever discovered He charges that
Mr.. Deggo has used every cent possible.
HENRY'S ACCOUNTS CORRECT.
The accounts Of General Henry. the as
sistant, were found correct to a penny.
He was removed because he did not
make public the shortage In reply 10
this criticism he states that hif relations
with Mr.. Degge were purely confidential,
and that he did not seem at liberty 10
make public the nature of the postmas-
ter's actions. The postmaster's bonds
men are w. II. II. Trice, Edward Spald-
ing G. w. Fentress. Francis Hatton. and
T. Vance. They met to-day, and made
good the shortage.
Mr.. Degge gave them a deed OF trust
on his estate. They bear the loss ratably
The bondmen are DESTROYS that the de-
partment shall not prosecute Mr.. Degge
and they themselves viii not take such
action Mr.. TTice stated this afternoon
that he and at least one other Of Mr..
Degge's bondsmen became such upon the
explicit understanding that General Henry
was TO handle every penny OF the post
Office receipts.
MR.. DEGGE RETICENT.
II was said this afternoon that the
bondsmen would ask the department to
retain Mr.. Degge as postmaster, but
Mr.. Trice said this was not true. Mr.
Spalding. another bondsman. said they
would feel gratificd at such action on
the part OF the department. Mr.. Degge
IS very reticent, but states That the short
age is due to negligence. and that 1t Is
not as great as reported. Degge has a
wife and two children.
The new officials took charge OF the
post-office this afternoon. Though MI
Degge is a Democrat. three OF his bonds
men are Republicans. and the ONCE Is
now in Republican hands.
