WASHINGTON March 3.-Capt. Thomas
c. Munce, chief of the stamp division of the
Postoffice Department. and one of the best
known officials in Washington was sus-
pended from office indefinitely to-day by
Postmaster General Wilson on the charge of
taking stamps from the department without
authority, and other employees are under
suspicion. The action is the outgrowth OF
the investigation into the Colmln stamp
case. which recently figured conspicuously
in New York city. and an order promul-
gated to-day by Mr.. Wilson is the first In
timation of formal charges against Captain
Munce. The charges aver that Munce. with
out authority, took from the office in which
they were deposited certain sets of United
States postage stamps. gummed and un-
gummed perforated and unperforated, and
that subsequently thirty or more sets of
them passed through a member of Munces
family, with or without consideration, TO
certain stamp dealers in Washington, one
of whom (Colman) was subsequently ar
rested with part of these stamps in his pos
session. Postmaster General Wilson holds
that there can be no doubt of the gross i'm
propriety of ,Munces action, if not of its
probable criminaity, and says if the case
were fully made up he would deal promptly
however, found the papers incomplete for
full disposition of the case. and has directed
"a thorough and sweeping investigation as
TO the practices for years past of the CIV
ing out of stamps from the department as
necessary to break up the practice and cor
rect loose methods and TO award due pun
| ishment at the same time TO all who may
be proved guilty.
The order directs the fourth assistant
postmaster general. through the inspecting
force and Others TO investigate the rumors
and charges connecting employees of the de-
partment with unlawful taking away or
trafficking in stamps, and TO report with
evidence TO the postmaster general. Final
action on Munce's case is to be taken only
when all the cases are ready for action. The
order also directs that safe and careful reg
ulations can be made for the custody and
accounting for all specimens or other
stamps necessarily kept by the department
and for precluding their abstraction by any
employe. The action created sensation
| from its unexpectedness and from Munce's
| official and social high standing. Captain
| Munce came here from Louisiana at the
| beginning of the administration.

Similar notices were sent to the head
offices on the New York Mutual Life In
surance Company. The Hillmon case, in
which Mrs. Hillmon sued the insurance
companies TO recover something like SOC, 900
i'm premiums held by her husband. was one
of recent years. Hillmon disappeared about
seven years ago and his wife claimed he
had been drowned and his body never re-
covered. The companies refused TO believe
him dead and would not pay the claim.
Mrs. Hillmon brought suit and four times
the JurieS failed to agree on verdict. Last
year, on the fifth trial of the case, she
was awarded the full amount of the policy
with interest.
