Big Man Mentally.

Nebraska has lost one OF it's largest,
mentally, and widest known men in the
death of Edward Rosewater, who died so
suddenly In one OF the rooms In The Bee
building. No doubt If he could have been
consulted and known the finger OF death
was to be laid upon him that he would
have chosen that as the place where he
passed his last moments on earth, except
that he would have asked that he be sur
rounded by his wife and family. The Bee
building is his monument. Mr.. Rosewater
was a big fundamentally. He was a strong
man politically and he possessed all those
qualifications that enable a man to make q
winning night and compel the world TO
recognize him as a factor

Last Chapter OF Disappointment.


The bare announcement that the old

writes the word "finis'' to an unparalleled
tragedy of disappointment, betrayal and
ruin 1t is the last word of the French
effort to build the canal. A special report
of this old junk was published last win
ter and showed how the money of the
thrifty French shareholders had been
squandered in ill-designed and unnecessary
contrivances. often useless to the point OF
absurdity.

Convictions md Courage.

But few IL any men have ever stamped
their individuality so thoroughly on a
new state as did Mr.. Rosewater on Ne
braska- He was a man of convictions
and had the courage to fight for those
convictions. AS a writer he was one of
the ablest the state has ever known and
as an editor was recognized throughout
the civilized world. He was one of the
great newspaper men of the world. These
words are not written today because of
the death of Mr.. Rosewater but the News
has said the same while he was alive
and Mr.. Rosewater was no friend of the
News.

Edward Rosewater was aggressive. He

OFFICE DIME THIEVES,
OLD POSTAGE DUE STAMPS PUT
on FOREIGN LETTERS

And 10 Cents Collected In Each Case by
Three Letter Carriers OF station ID
Discovery OF Trick Likely TO Change
the Method or Collecting Postage Due.
Three letter carriers of Station B, at
ATTORNEY and Grand streets, were arrested
last night by Chief Postal Inspector W, S.
Mayer and Inspectors Jacobs and Meyer,
charged with working a new swindle. The
men are George Davidson of 447 Linden
street. Brooklyn; William c. Spencer of
2s47 Second avenue and John j. Mahony of
1873 East Sixty-second street. All but
Mahony are ma FRIED and have families.
The scheme consisted in afiXing can
celled postage due stamps for TEN cents
to letters from foreign countries, after
removing the foreign stamps. The carrier
then collected the face of the postage due
stamp from the receiver Of the letter. Some
times the same game was worked with
foreign letters that la cked a stamp, and then
the Government was the loser. 1t is not
known how widely this trick has been
played, but a change in the whole method
OF collecting postage due, especially on
mail from Europe, is likely to follow.
An unusually large incoming foreign
mail Is handled at the postal station
at Grand and Attorney streets. Many
Of the senders of letters passing through
this branch are European peasants, and
often neglect to affiX the requisite amount
of posta ge to their letters. So many are
the unstamped letters that some slip through
the hands of the distributing clerks and are
given to the carriers unstamped. These
were pure graft for the men who worked
with the concelled postage due stamps.
II was the other letters thai brought about
a discovery of the trick. New York asked
budapest and Cracow why they didn't
stamp their letters and help their friends
save nickels. and Budapest and Craoow
responded that they did sta mp them. Then
complaints from New York rained into
the post office.
The great majority of the. complaints
related to letters from eastern Europe.
and pointed to queer work at the Grand
street station.
Chief Inspector Mayer and his aides
watched the carriers, and o o found that
Spencer, Mahony and Davidson seemed
TO ave a good deal Of money to spend
and were buying large quantities of can
celled postage due" stamps from dealers
in stamps. For these they paid s. a hum
bred, They bought only ten-cent stamps,
the sort which are affixed TO letters from
abroad, twice the postage being charged
on such letters when the postage l. not
prepaid.
Further investigation convinced Chief
Mayer that instead of turning back un-
stamped foreign letters which had got
through the distributing clerks hands
without being stamped postage DUE

BOOM DEFERRED POLICIES.
Big Life Companies to Sell All They Can
Before the Law Prohibits Them.


In the event of the passage of the Arm
strong committee bill prohibiting the sale
of deferred dividend policies, it is likely
that the big life companies will make extra
ordinary efforts Il sell as many policies
as possible Of that form before January /,
the date on which the new laws would be-
come operative. The deferred dividend
policies are the ones which make possible
the enormous reserve funds of the COM
panies.
Second vice-President Gage E. Tarbell
of the Equitable has sent out a letter to
the agency force which indicates the Equi-
tables attitude in the matter. Mr.. TarbeL
tells in the letter of an agent who came
into bis Office the other day and announced
that he intended to turn in and write half
a million dollars of deferred dividend assur..
ance before the first OF next January"
The agent was going to do this because
he knew that there are thousands OF men
in New York who prefer that kind of as
surance to any other. Referring to the
agents announcement, Mr.. Tarhell said:
And it seemed to me that he was a very
sensible man and that he could not have
made a better resolution He continues:
Without entering into a discussion at
dividend system, you know that there
are hundreds of Thousands of people, in
Guiding many insurance experts, who
believe that that system is better for the
policyholder than any other, and as. we
believe in giving every mar the kind OF
assurance he wants, we think It entirely
proper for you to give to all who believe
in the deferred dividend plan above every
thing else an opportunity to increase their

TOO MANY FIRE BADGES.
CHIEF Croker Wants the Police TO Stick tC

keeping the Fire Lines.
Fire Chief Croker, speaking yesterday
about his u with the police at the
Bridge fire on Monday night, denied that
he had said hat there were too many re-
porters inside the fire lines.
AS for the police" said the Chief, they
are altogether too oficious. Their business
is to keep the fire lines. If they would
attend strictly to that and keep the crowd
back so the iremen could work without
hindrance there never would be any trouble.
When it comes to sending for ambu-
lanoes." continued the Chief, the Fire
Department has just as efficient a system
as the police. We are the best judges,
anyway, of whether a fireman needs medical
attention or not and we ought not to be
bothered and hindered by the police getting
ambulances when there is no need Of them"
Chief Croker then said that there were
too many fire badges in the hands Of those
who are not entitled to them.
Il do not know how these people got
them" said the Chief, but they should
be called in and only those who are actually
entitled to them should receive them, No
one should be allowed inside the fire lines
but the newspaper men and the holders
of such badges

they affixed these stamps themselves,
collecting in each case 10 cents from the
receiver Of the letter. But by far their
greater revenue came from ripping off
the cancelled postage stamps on regularly
stamped foreign letters and substituting
their own cancelled postage due" stamps,
w whenever this could he done without at
tracing notice,
Chief Mayer and his two aides arrested
Spencer and Davidson at Station B last
night, getting Mahony at his home.
All three men admitted substituting the
cancelled stamps and pocketing the pro-
ceeds, and cancelled stamps were found
in their pockets.
Chief Mayer refused to say whether any
further arrests will be made. But it is
not believed that the game has Just been
invented.
All three prisoners were lodged in Police
Headquarters last night.
