ROBBERS OF MAIL BOXES
Breaking Up a Well Equipped and Organized
Band.
Result Of Seven Months of Exciting
. Work by the Post once
Secret Service,

After an exciting chase extending over
seven months. the post Office secret service
has succeeded in breaking mp what is con-
sidered the best equipped and most thor
oughly organized band of mail box robbers
in the history of the service.
The capture which, il is believed, breaks
up the gang. occurred recently in Column
bus and Chicago. At Columbus. Tim Ho-
gan, the ringleader of the western gang,
and at Chicago Piggy" Real and Frank
Baxter fell into the clutches of the law.
When Hogan was arrested the post Office
officials found on his person 10 keys TO
letter boxes. as well as a full parapherna-
liza for raising and altering checks.
A Sktllful Piece of Work.
No band of robbers ever gave the gov
erIment more trouble than the one broken
up. and the post office secret service is con-
graduating itself upon the outcome of the
hard campaign which has engrossed its
attention for nearly year. 1t Is consid-
cred one of the most skillful pieces OF de-
tective work ever done by the department.
The first gang organized in Boston and
for long time 1t rined the mail boxes
there, and the detectives were bafiied. AZ
ter a watch kept for several weeks in the
banking section of the city. several MEM
them turned states evidence. Upon his
testimony the others were convicted, and
the informer was released, after serving
two years in the penitentiary. When he
got out of jail he determined TO start q
new gang. and a few months later was
Joined by Tim Hogan. who escaped from
Elackwelrs Island. Hogan was the best
operator and the leadership of the gang
went to him. He eluded his pursuers and
took his newly organized gang west. Here
for months 1t operated in the larger cities.
managing, after every big robbery. to elude
the detectives with exasperating regularity.
1t was because of the precision with which
the gang operated that Ii escaped the
clutches of the law.
Plan of Operations.
The plan of operation was to obtain the
imprint in wax of postman's key and then
make several duplicates for the gang. Sur
rounding a letter box, preferably In the
banking or business section of the city, one
of the gang would open the box and extract
the letters. These were hurriedly rifed
Those which contained checks were es-
pecially sought after, since the gang was
expert in raising the amounts for which
they We're drawn and collected the money
IN nearly every instance. Eracing acids
were employed to take out the ink marks
an operation which made Hogan famous in
police circles long ago.
After months of Investigation the posi-
office inspectors located the Headquarters
OF the gang in Chicago. and then followed
the clues which led to their arrest. Hogan
has been bound over in $4,000 bail. Real
and Baxter. the other members of the gang
were also apprehended and lodged in Jail.
The department is going to make a siren
uous effort to get the members of this no.
torious gang good substantial sentences III
the penitentiary. and keep them otherwise
employed than ri1ing letter boxes.

The Ondricek-schuI. Quartet.


The ODdricek-Schulz Quartet of Boston was
heard in Washington last "Wednesday af-
teraoon for the first time. The occasion
was an informal musicale at Prof Josef
kaspar's. on NJ street. The mem5ers of
this chamber organization are alsb MEM
bers of the Boston Symphony Orchestra,
and rarely are such excellent artists
brought together Indeed, The ensemble
playing was pronounced well nigh perfect.
Never perhaps, was the adagio of Haydn's
ID major quartet SO beautifully performed
here as 1T was at this musicale. The entire
work was played in superb style, but the
adagio movement was remarked as being
surprisingly fine. Other numbers i'm the
program were the allegro from Dvoraks Z
major quartet, a fantasie for violin and
cello. arranged by Nieuxtemps and Ser
yais. from the ''Huguenots;" solos for violin
and solos for cello, and TWO baritone solos
sung by Mr.. Finmara, the second yiolinist
Of the quartet. The duet was. as can be
imagined, full of technical difficulties but in
the hands of two great virtuosi like Ondri-
eek and Schulz 1t was rendered with splen-
did spirit and technical perfection. 1t was
easily the piece de resistance of the enter
taiRment. Ondricek in his solos was singu-
larry happy, and, as for Schulz, the 'celhst
he played as he always does, like a dream.
A very cultured audience was present to
enjoy the music. 1t Is understood that the
Ondricek-Schulz quartet will be heard I'm
pubic here next fall: perhaps earlier. IL
has had great success In Boston and else
where in New England.
