POSTOFFICE' ROBBED
Thieves Get Away With $751;
900 In Stamps at Chicago.
GAINED ENTRANCE THROUGH TUNNEL
Work Which Must Have Required
Weeks Completed without LeRv-
Ing Amy Clew or Exciting
Previous Suspicion.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Robbcry of the
Chicago postofiicc by almost exactly
the same method as was used in the re-
cent gold robbery at San Francisco has
just been discovered, and the loss to the
government is estimated at $775,OOO. A
secret tunnel was found under the tenn
porary postoffice building at Michigan
avenue and washington street. Through
1t the robbers gained access to the
vaults, and stamps aggregating about
the amount mentioned We're stolen.
The robbers gained an entrance to
the place from which they worked un-
der the postofllcc by breaking open a
little door in the hoard wall which sur
rounds the foundations of the building.
The postotiice, being temporary struc-
ture, Is on poles. and there is a space
of three feet between the floor of the
building and the ground. After getting
through the trapdoor they crawled
forty feet to two foot brick wall that
separated an addition from the main
structure. This they broke through.
They then crawled nearly 300 feet I'M
der the main floor of the postotiice to
point directly under the brick fOunda-
tions of the various vaults. by mistake
they chose the south vault to operate
on, containing the wholesale supply of
stamps. If they had taken the next to
the north, they might have got $6O0,o0O
in cash and stamps.
First breaking through the two foot
brick foundation. they bored a section
- out of the thin pine floor and began OPP
erations on the bottom of the vault.
This was One-quarter inch steel. In it
they bored ninety-seven holes, none of
them through until the whole job was
ready. Then few moments work with
the drill and a hammer broke section
nineteen inches square out of the floor
Of the vault and access was easy.
They took from the vault booty
enough to load good sized wagon. In
the vehicle they drove away, and be-
yond Michigan avenue no trace Of them
can be found
Entrance to the vault and the eXtrac-
tion Of the stamps probably took place
during Sunday, when there was the
least occasion for opening the doors Of
any time during the week.
Opportunities for undisturbed tunnel
ing into the temporary postotiicc are
good in the locality of the lake front.
Al aight there are few persons in the
vicinity east of the building, and work
of that kind could be carried on in the
darkness with little chance of discov
cry. 1t seems probQble that the work
took weeks to complete.
