Fifteen minutes later two bathing

A pistol shot rang out and the boats

to dig the oars In perpendicular fash

caused the coal barges to rock un-

is a wealthy merchant of New York
city, whose wife left him late in 1906
and went to South Dakota, where she

The affldavits presented by counsel
for browne show that he married

land, o. At the time of his marriage
he owned the property at 100 Broad
way and the residence in West Thirty

DRUGGIST IS IN
TROUBLE WITH
GOVERNMENT
To Make PadelfOrd Pay for
Stamps Stolen When
Pharmacy Was Robbed.

1t was discovered today that for the
past three months Secret Service men
and other Federal detectives have been
investigating a robbery that occurred
on the night of last Memorial Day, when
thieves entered the drug store of C. O.
Padelford, $50 Park avenue Padelford
also conducts sub-station No. 10 of the
Newark postoffice, and the thieves ap-
propriated every stamp in the office.
about $50 worth. They also found some
loose change in the cash drawer, and
helped themselves to some cigars, and
found a bottle containing the best
brandy in the place, from which they
also helped themselves.
Padelford informed the local police of
the robbery and they made an investi-
cation, but failed to give the report
out Postmaster Hays, to whom Padel-
ford is subordinate, was also in
formed of the robbery. The local
office sent the report to the department
at Washington, and Secret Service men
were detailed on the case. Postoffice
Inspector Cortelyou was also notified,
and Inspector Enterman, of Jersey
City, was sent here on the case, and
went over the accounts of the office.
He found that the face value of the
stamps stolen was $79.63, and so notified
the department.
Since then the department has noti-
fed Padelford that it would hold him
personally responsible for his loss. The
sub-postmaster rebelled at this, say
ing that he was in no way responsible
for the loss, and again his place was
visited. and it was learned that he had
not complied with postal regulations
in that he did not safeguard the office
from just such contingencies as this
enc. The law requires that all post
masters, whether they be postmasters
or sub -postmasters, shall keep all
stamps and other documents of value
In a safe. Padelford had kept the
stamps in drawer in the little corner
Of his store set aside as the postoffice,
and it afforded little resistance to the
thieves.
Sub-postmasters in this and other
cities receive a salary ranging from
500 to 5000 a year. The amount of
remuneration received by padeford
was not learned, but he is under bonds.
and it is likely that Uncle Sam will
win out i'm the end. Padelford still
contends that he should not be com
PEELED to suffer the loss, while the de-
partmental officials at Washington are
equally firm in that the loss should be
q penalty for his failure to comply
with postal regulations.
