DRILL STEEL FLOOR
Cashiers Vault Containing Hundreds
of Thousands of Dollars Was Missed
by About Six Feet-This Was Evi.
IDENTIFY Crooks Objective Point.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-Burglars last
night stole $76,06S worth of stamps
from the postoffice and escaped without
leaving the slightest clew. A tunnel
which had taken a week or more to
complete was run from the rear of the
building and hole then drilled
through the bottom of the
wholesale stamp vault There
are ninety-seven small holes around
the square plate cut out and some
of the drilling looked to be several
days old. The stamp vault was only
six feet away from the cashiers vault
which contained over 100000. The
latter had evidently been the objective
point.
How 1t Was Done.
The postof1ice building is Temporal
ry affair and the robbers had only to
open little door to admit themselves
under the flooring. To reach the vault
it was necessary to crawl 300 feet ov.
er the ends of boards which Uttered
the way. The work of forming an en-
trance to the vault had evidently been
going forward with the greatest pa
tience for many days. The bottom OF
the vault steel is half an inch thick
I'm this ninety-seven holes were bored
until space just large enough to ad
NIT mans body had been made. This
weakened the vault SO that it was pos
sible to remove the whole plate witt
little difficulty A dry goods box stood
over the hole, concealing the work O.
the robbers, while it was in progress
So careful had the job been planned
tnat men working in other parts ot
the building had not the slightest ink
ling that the daring robbery was be
ing worked almost under their noses
Having secured the plunder the rob
bers loaded it into wagon and drovt
off. About S6S,00o worth of stamp:
are convertible into money, the bal
ance being postage due and special de
livery stamps.

In st. Louis the police have made an
other important arrest in connection with
the Great Northern express robbery Of
July near Wagner, Mont, and took a
valise containing between $4,000 and
$4,000 in notes of the National Bank OF
Helena, which are supposed to be a part
of the proceeds of that haul. A woman
who registered at the Laclede Hotel as
Mrs. Rose" was taken into custody by
city detectives and escorted to Chief Des-
mOnd's office, where she confessed that
she had forged the signatures of officers
of the bank to the notes. Beyond that
statement the woman would not say a
word other than to deny any knowledge
of the man named Arnold, whom the po-
lice arrested the previous night in con-
nection with the robbery. The arrest was
made just as Mrs. Rose" was leaving
the hotel She carried a bag in which
was a bunch of $40 bills. This, with her
trunk, which was being loaded into an
express wagon, is at police headquarters.
Mrs. Rose" did not know how much
money the valise contained. When she
counted it last she said there was on
hand between $780, and $4,000. She
had spent much money since her arrival
in St. Louis.

TESTS POWER OF CONGRESS.
Alaska Mining Suit of Vast Import
Comes Before Supreme Court.

Comes Before Supreme Court.
Gases have reached the Supreme Court
of the United States which, in the opl1i-
ion of officials of the Department Of Jus
tice, will cause the court to withhold It's
decisions in the pending insular cases for
several weeks, if not months Up to this
time it has been the impression that the
decisions would be rendered in time for
the President to discuss the Philippine
question in the light thrown on it by the
opinion of the court in the fourteen dla-
mond rings case. The suits to which
reference is made are known as the
Alaska license cases. The first IS the
action of a man of the name Of CORPUS
against the Alaska TreadWell Mining
Company Corbus is stakeholder III
that corporation, and he sues to recover
the license fee paid by the company for
the privilege of doing business In the ter
ritory. The question involved is whether
Congress has the authority to pass tax
ing law applicable only to particular
territory, as it has done for Alaska. All
mining and trading companies there must
pay a license fee before beginning busl-
ness. The cases attracted no attention
until a hint was sent to the Department
of Justice that the question had bear
ing on the issue in the second Dooley
case, which involves the right of Con-
gress to levy duties on goods gong from
New York into Porto Rico.

Eight persons, one of them a woman,
were burned to death at Hurley, Wis,
in fire which consumed the Klondike
Theater. Three women and one man,
members of the troupe that had been
playing at the theater nightly during the
week, were injured by leaping from their
sleeping rooms when awakened by the
roar of the flames. The theater, as also
five other buildings destroyed was of
frame and burned with terrible swiftness.
The sleeping actresses and actors, when
they were awakened at a. M, found
themselves surrounded by flames, from
which escape seemed almost impossible.
Those who saved themselves leaped from
the second and third story windows, re-
ceiving severe injuries. None had time
to dress or save valuables.

LONGEST TUNNEL IN THE WORLD
Pennsylvania Railroad Plans to Bore
Seven Miles Through Mountain.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
contemplates the construction of the long
est tunnel in the world. For years it has
been rumored that the famous horseshoe
curve would have to be sacrificed to the
growing demands for a shorter and less
precipitous line between Altoona, Pa,
and Pittsburg. The proposition now is to
avoid both the circuit and the grade by
tunneling under the mountains at the
points where, both east and west, the
worst of the curves and the grade are
encountered. Chief Engineer Brown, who
has been figuring on this proposition for
a long time, a few days ago sent his COM
plete scheme to the company's offices in
Philadelphia. The tunnel will be about
seven miles long.
