Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 1S.-The
missing mail pouch, containing checks,
money and drafts to the amount of $780,
900, and the one which has caused the

dent of mails here. The missing pouch
arrived here today from Cincinnati at
12:45 o'clock over the Big Four.
How the pouch reached Cincinnati is
a question yet to be settled. The mys-
terry has been partly cleared, local Of
fcials believe, by the appearance of the
pouch. 1t is not a leather pouch, such
as is used in conveying valuable mail.
The government is suffering from a
shortage of leather pouches, and it re-
Gently converted a lot of cloth bags into
first class mail pouches. The converted
pouches are caught at the neck with

pouch, in this instance. lost its destina-
ton tag and the mail clerks mistook
the pouch to be one containing other
empty pouches that were being sent
back to the Cincinnati Office, where the
empty bags are stored. The pouch prob
ably went to the Cincinnati pouch stor-
age room and lay there unopened. 1t is
believed the contents are intact. 1t
will not be opened until tomorrow.

openly of being implicated in the Hum
bert affair during the debate in the

late Minister of Justice Vale on the
Humbert affair. The deputy declared
that suspicion had long been directed
against the cabinet over which presided
that weather cock Combes."
A scene of great disorder followed
this statement, the members of the left
demanding the removal of NJ. Binder.

milton, but as NJ. Binder continued to
shout at the top of his voice MN.

listers retired from the house, the left
party applauding and the right party
kissing.
The president. NJ. Bourgeois. then
consulted with the chamber, which CEN
sured M. Binder. When he attempted
to resume his speech the president sus-
pended the sitting. The deputy con-
tinued his defiant speech after the ses-
sion was resumed, but he was finally
silenced by the presidents threat to
cause his removal from the chamber.
