Mt one time was said to have been almost
endemic among certain of the employees
There were symposiums, pool betting on the
races poker clubs and other forms of gam
ing which officials declared had most de-
moralizing effect upon the morale OF the
office.
In order to meet this issue squarely Mr.
Stillings Yesterday sent to the foremen OF
all the divisions in the big printery strict
orders bearing on the objectionapie prae-
tees. The order sets forth

SUIT CASE M YSTERY
DETECTIVE PRATT PARTIALLY
SOLVES LOCAL ENIGMA.

Washington's suit case mystery has been
partly solved but the police are no nearer
having the robber in custody than they
were the day William Haller discovered
that 1895 had been stolen from him. the
partial solution OF the matter was brought
about by a visit to FAN River, Mass. by
Detective Pratt. He has now started upon
another line Of investigation.
Mr.. Halter as stated in The Star at the
time the robbery was discovered. is a clerk
In the War Department and lives at 1913 II
street He had occupied room in the II
street house Tor several years and had
never missed anything until the sum men
toned was taken from his trunk about the
10Th Of last month. A suit case upon which
was painted the initials of the owner, M.
J. G. was left In the house by the man
who Is supposed to have taken the money.
II was thought that the identification or
he suit case might bring about something
which would assist the detectives in ascer-
tanning the Identity of the Individual VINO
had left il there AS the address Fan
River. Mass, was stenciied on the case the
detective went there. hoping he would be
successful. He succeeded in locating the
owner OF the suit case, after going to
great deal OF trouble. but only TO find that
the case had been stolen before 1t was
brought TO this city.
ne "CIh OF lDCb llNS the owner OF the
ease was no easy matter. With nothing to
guide him but the initials and the name or
tho city. the detective and a member of the
Fall River police force started out 10 as
certain the owner.
Belonged to M. j. Griffin.
The detectives finally succeeded In learn
ing thar the case belonged TO NJ. j. Grimm.
The owner however. was IN Baltimore at
tending a medical college and II was neces-
sary for the detective to make trip to that
city. Mr.. Griffin was greatly surprised TO
ind that his suit case had been recovered
in this city and was anxious TO learn II the
thief had been apprehended
The suit case had been stolen from a
room Mr.. Griffin occupied In a boarding
house In Baltimore. Some OF his clothes
were taken with It, and other persons in
the house had also been robbed Detective
Pratt learned that the man who had rent
ed a room at the house on II street and
had disappeared about the time Mr. Hal
lers money was taken from his trunk had
given his name as Northrop In Baltimore
in this city he said he was NJ. j. Gardner,
to correspond with the initials on the suit
case, and explained that he had obtained a
position in the patent office. He was shown
10 room which he occupied only one night
The trunk In the room of Mr.. Hailer con-
talned cash he had saved from month 10
month. He had not gone 10 the trouble OF
opening bank account. A skeleton key
was used and the money had been gone sew
eral days before Mr.. Haller learned OF his
loss.
MIR Griffin will get back his suit case. and
the police will continue their efforts to lind
the individual who took Il from Baltimore.
Mr. Halter Is more deeply interested in
the arrest of the man, however. although
lac hardly expects he will ever get back
any OF the money.
