HOW ROBBERS ENTER ED THE STAMP Vault.

kotas, Nebraska, the greater part of Kan
sas, Oklahon and the eastern section of
Colorado, New Mexico and central Tex
as. The most remarkable thing regard
ing macaroni wheat is this: 1t is not only
true that it can be grown in dry districts,
but it must be grown there in order to
produce the best quality of grain, and
up to a minimum of about ten inches of
an annual rainfall the drier the better.
Probably the most important announce
ment from a commercial standpoint as
result of the new wheat industry is the
fact of immediate market for these
wheats. The entire present crop of this

BURGLARS TUNNEL INTO THE

Plumber of TOO Pounds Taken Away in
Wagons afe in Which There " as
100000 Barely Missed Biggest
Postofice Robbery on Record.

Thieves entered the vault of the whole
sale department Of the Chicago postofiiee
between Saturday evening and Monday
morning and accomplished the biggest
postage stamp robbery On record. They
secured STi.6l0 in stamps Of various de-
nominations and escaped. Skill. inegnu-
ity and wonderful endurance Were requir-
ed successfully to carry out the plans
that evidently had carefully been laid.
Two brick walls. each two feet thick
We're tunneled through, and 4 hole nine
teen inches SQUARE was made in the bot
tom Of the steel yault. They took from
the vault booty enough to load good
sized wagon and drove away.
Entered Through Tunnel.
Entrance to the vault was gained
through tunnel which had been left in
the construction Of the postotiice. En-
tering the basement OF the postottice from
the southeast corner of the building, they
followed the wimdings of q tunnel be-
tween piers and posts that support the
structure. They had to go nearly across
the entire space covered by the postoiiice
until they reached the stamp vault on the
west side
With a drill they perforated the cast
Iron bottom at the safe and knocked out q
piece large enough TO make a space to
admit man. Tbs fest of the work was
easy. With six men ii would have been
necessary to make several trips to and
from the wagon to despoil the vault of its
treasure.
The robbers did their work well, not
stamp being oyerloot ed. Within a few
feet of them was the cash safe containing
nearly six hundred thousand dollars,
a greater fortune in currency than was
represented in the stamps that We're stol-
en-. The stamps were placed in a wagon
that was driven to the southeast corner

The reason for the reversal Of the judg-
ment of conviction. in which reversal all
the judges of the New York Court of
Appeals agree, is that the trial court
erred in receiving in evidence the deeiara-
tons Barnett made to Drs. Phillips and
Douglas that he had received kutnow
powders through the mails. All the judges
agree also that the authorship of writ
ings received in evidence must be estab-
listhed by witnesses who saw the paper
written OF TO whom it had been acknowl-
edged, or by witnesses familiar with the
handwriting of the person charged to be
the writer and who are able to testify
from their familiarity TO a belief of its
genuineness; or writing which is shown
to have been recognized and aeauieseed
in by the person supposed to have writ
