TORE UP MESSAGES
CAUSING BIG LOSS

of the Postal company. The rest he de.
livered. On one message he collected
25 cents charges, which he kept.
1t was not long, however, until com
plants began to pour into the Office of
the Postal company. An investigation
was set afoot by Mr.. Theobald, who
was thunderstruck by the evidence Of
the messengers guilt. One telegram
which he was told to deliver was adj
dressed to a gentleman connected with
wholesale distilling house. A liquor
dealer telegraphed for large sum OF
money which would enable him to put
through a deal which would be of great
financial advantage to both of them.
The deal fell through because the mes
sage was never delivered.
The immediate dispatch of a carload
of fruit was involved in another deal,
which could be carried out only through
the delivery of a message.
Beigel confessed that the messages
had been destroyed, but said that it
had been done by another boy. The
prosecution will be the first under the
new law

! the hearing of witnesses on Tuesday
morning.
Another explosion is threatening in
the detective bureau. Evidence came
to the front today which connects GER
tain members of that bureau with the
operations of a number of diamond
thieves. These criminals have operated
almost with IMMUNITY.
Charges are now made that they
bought protection from police interfer-
ence just as anyone would buy a
piece of merchandise. The detectives
and policemen in this deal, it is assert
ed, were taken on frequent trips to
Buffalo and other eastern cities, where
they were givn "high time at the
expense of the criminals, whose money
they were taking for protection.
In Chicago these thieves and the po-
licemen who engineered the protection

Eight Can Contest.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. l6.-Fourteen
hundred persons have announced a
wish to compete for the prize offered by
the Louisiana Purchase exposition for
the invention of a successful airship.
OF this number of entries only eight
have been accepted, one of which is
that of Professor Langley, whose model
will be exhibited, although no attempt
will be made to make it fly.
The story of the airship committee s
efforts was told today by Nathan
Franks of st. Louis, member of the
executive committee of the exposition.
There are hardly any two of the
designs alike" said Mr.. Franks, "and
nine-tenths of them are SO absurd that
they are not worth paying much atten-
tion to. One man thought he had a
ship that he could propel with a steam
engine, carrying enough water and fuel
for a l00-mile trip

Theobald, the local manager of the
Postal Telegraph company, swore out
. warrant yesterday afternoon for the
arrest of Messenger Beigel, l5-year-old
boy, of 435 Klotter avenue, on the
charge of tearing up and neglecting TO
deliver a telegraph message.
The affidavit was drawn up by Pros.

issuance upon the law passed in 1900
making the tearing up of telegraph
message an offense, carrying with con-
viction Imprisonment for three months
or $500 fine. As a result of the boys
action the Postal company is confronted
with threats of heavy damage suits
made by angry patrons who suffered
