LETTERS SAFE
WAS BURGLED
CHICAGO CROOKS WORK

Joe Letter of Wheat Corner Fame Was
the Victim and Bonds Valued at
$i50,OO0 Were Stolen Burglars
Left no Clue.

;. hicago. May Burglars early to-
~ 0tered the Office of Joseph Letter,
w became famous several years ago
when he attempted to corner the wheat
market. blew open two vaults and escap-
ed with bonds said to be valued at $780,
900 to $I5o,ooo. The building in which
the Office is located is within half a
block of the police headquarters. ;
The men entered the Office by breaking
the door with sledge hammer. which, it
is thought by the police, had been COW
cred with rubber or cloth IN order to
muffle the sounds. The employees of
the firm, upon arrival at the office dis
covered papers and documents scattered
over the floor. Among these papers and
documents was bond valued at $4,000
which evidently had been overlooked by
the burglars.
Joseph Letter, who is stopping at Lake
Geneva, Wis, was informed of the rob
berry by telephone and said that he did
not believe that the robbers secured
any negotiable papers. My best knowl-
edge is, said Mr. Letter, the vault
contained nothing but leases. contracts,
and similar papers do not believe
that anything Of value was taken"

ber is progressing. Presumably the
mouths fed today will approximate ESQ.,
600.
Il am proceeding with methods cal
culated to largely reduce this number
through the institution of facilities for
cheap meals and gradual restrictions on
the issue to male adults.
Rations are plentiful as far as flour
and potatoes go. but extremely limited
as to other articles"
Another dispatch recaved from Cen
eral Greely states that on last Saturday
