TO ROB
SAFES IN

removing about 500 worth OF stamps OF
various denominations.
The break was discovered by Janitor
William j. McDole, when he appeared
early today to make the building ready
for work today. When he attempted 20
pass through the northerly door of the
building as Is his wont, he found that he
could not open the door with his key the
lock having been tampered with.
He then passed around and entered the
building through the cellar door.
Upon going upstairs he found that the
workroom was Uttered with fragments
from the safe door In the workroom and
there were six borings In the door Of the
safe. In the money order department
the safe had been bored but once. 1t was
evident from the disposition OF things that
no preparations had been made for the
use OF explosives. and II IL believed that
the intruders finding daylight almost upon
them gave up their work on the safes,
so cleaned out the stamp case and made
their escape.
The robbers were amateurs Judging
from the very unskilled quality OF the
work and the evident ignorance displayed
OF the mechanism OF a safe. They were
careful TO leave no clue TO their identity,
nor did anyone in the vicinity see any
person or persons leaving the building or
hear any noise during the night
Postmaster Almon n Goodwin was noti-
fed by the ianitor and Mr.. Goodwin
in turn notified the police. safe expert
was called from Providence to open the
safes. and when he had done so II was
found that the contents OF both safes was
intact

the tug Bully, towing some barges sp-
peared. The tow line was instantly sew
cred and the Bully ran up TO the scene.
The tug ran in as close as possible but
nothing could be seen OF the nine miss

was given up. Those In the lifeboets were
taken aboard and after the burning
wreckage drifted ashore on the island,
the tug headed for New York.

was discovered How and where II
originated is something OF a mystery,

vessel suddenly became filled with stifing
