Washington. Oct 21.-The President
today appointed George E. Koester Col
lector of Internal Revenue for the dis
trict of South Carolina to succeed w. l..
Webster, deceased. The appointment was
announced shortly before the departure of
the President for New Haven this after
noon. With the appointment, the follow
ing statement was issued
>"Mr Koester is prominent gold Demo-
crat, and has been recommended for the
position by a large number of influential
business men and representative citizens,
not only of South Carolina, but of North
Carolina and elsewhere"
The appointment of Mr.. Rooster termi-
mates a controversy which began upon
Mr.. Roosevelt's accession to the Presi-
dency. 1t was in connection with this
appointment and that of Ex-Governor
Jones to a Federal judgeship in Alabama
that the President announced that his
policy in regard to Southern appoint
ments would be to name suitable Republi-
cans if they could be found, and if not
appoint Democrats Mr.. Blalock, who
has been long identified with the Repub-
lican party in South Carolina, was at
first understood to be slated for this posi-
tion. but the President later decided not
to appoint him.
Subsequently Senator McLaurin, with
whom the Senator had been in consulta-
tiGn, suggested the name of Mr.. Rooster,
who was known in the State as an 1nde-
pendent Democrat. The President sent
for Mr. Koester and had a personal in
terview with him last Saturday evening.
Mr. Koester is still in the city.

THE POST0EF|cE At
CHICAGO IS
ROBBED
Over Seventy-Four Thousand
DoIIors in Stamps is
Taken.
.(By the Associated Press. J,

Chicago, Oct 21.--A sensational rob-
berry which netted the perpetrators $74,
610 in stamps was discovered here this
morning when the Wholesale stamp de-
partment of the postoffice was opened for
business. A rapid Investigation devel-
oped the fact that the burglars had
crowlcd under the flooring for about 300
feet, bored a hole in the bottom of the
vault, secured the stamps and escaped,
carrying their booty in wagon.
The work of forming an entrance to the
vault had evidently been going forward
with the greatest patience for many
days 1t is believed, however, that the
intention of the thieves had been to enter
the cashier vault, in which there was
s35, 600 in money and stamps valued at
hundreds of thousands of dollars. The
bottom Of the vault is of steel half an
inch thick In this ninety-seven holes
were bored until hole eighteen inches
square had been effected. dry goods
box stood over the hole thus made and
concealed the work of the robbers while
it was in Progress.
When discovered today the finger marks
of one of the burglars were still discern
ible in the dust of the box, which was
pushed one side
TIC robbers drove up to the southeast
corner of the postoffice building in a
wagon, the track of which could be seen
plainly today. The building is a tempo
rary affair ard the men had only to open
a little docr to admit themselves undei
the flooring. TO reach the vault it was
necessary to crawl about 300 feet over
odds and ends Of boards which Uttered
the way. The route evidently had been
carefully studied for a detective who
went under today without knowledge of
locations became lost and was nearly
overcome by the foul odors before assis-
tancc reached him.
Having secured their plunder, the rob-
bers loaded it into the wagon, drove
across a vacant lot and turned into Wa
Dash avenue in front of the Art Building.
OF the s74610 taken, S4,712 were in
postage due stamps and $4,000 in spe-
ciaI delivery stamps. So the convertible
Diniafez 4i.4sU ,anwvltf thar thaetfh
staomps amounted to $67,S2S, but of these
s4.S2S were an-American stamps OF 8
and 10 cent denominations.
T.. o. SDaulding, chief clerk OF the
wholesale stamp department discovered
The robbery when he opened the vault at
80 o'clock The safe had been locked,
with it's contents apparently secure, at
5 D. m. Saturday. Mr.. Spaulding notified
Postoffice Inspector Stuart, who hurried
from his home and Immediately began an
investigation, assisted by his deputies and
n SQUAD of detectives. After completing
the search. Inspector Stuart said:
1T was the largest stamp robbery ever
committed in the history of the postal
service in this country. To get to the
vault the man dug through the brick foun
dation wall and hundred or 50 feet, and
