biles characterized by chills, sore throats,
and nausea, It generally terminates in a
few days. leaving the victim as we'll as

WASHINGTON DIRECTS HUNT
Postofice Department Orders Utmost
Secrecy Regarding Mail Robbery,
BELL STILL UNDER SUSPICION
OmciaIs Now Have Exact Theory as
to How Quarter of Million Dol
lars Could Have Been
stolen.

with suspicious still directed toward the
notorious Bell as the guilty man, Superin-
tendent f. L. West of the Sixth division
of the railway mail service, after con-
sutation with Postal Clerk Cole OF the
train from which the $3.50 900 was stolen In
three mail pouches, declines to reveal any
thing OF the progress Of his investigation
or admit that he believes that great
an amount Is involved in the robbery.
While admitting the disappearance of the
three pouches. he and other postal authori-
ties are reticent regarding the exact
amount. Their non-committal attitude is
assumed upon orders from the Postoff1ce
department at Washington. This policy
has strengthened the general belief that
the amount was as large as originally
stated and that the government has its
eye upon the robber or robbers.
There is a disposition in some quarters
to ignore the possibility Of any such a
sum as S250,O0O being transmitted by regis
tered mail, and particularly from Denver
to Chicago, while there might be such
a possibility from Chicago to Denver. This
hypothesis is not borne out, however, by
the customs of the registered mali service.
Large sums OF money, postal men say, are
very frequently transmitted by registered
mail.
Uncle Sam Not Liable.
The contents of a registered package
are never known to the postoffice depart
ment and that under the postal laws the
department will not assume the respon-
sibiity for a loss exceeding S25 regardless
OF the actual value of the contents or
the package, which is known only to the
sender Of the package.
Abundant theories are afioat as to how
the pouches may have been stolen and the
conclusion has now been reached that the
theft occurred at the Denver station. One
theory among the officials that is gaming
ground is that after the pouches had been
loaded onto the truck and properly counted,
the postal clerk may have stepped into the
transfer room for a moment to attach MS
signature to the receipt and during this
moment the pouches were distracted from
the truck. These registered pouches are
all labeled for their respective destinations
and the expert thief onto his business
would have no difficulty in selecting the
Omaha and Chicago registered pouches
because of whose small bulk could easily
be hidden in the darkness and confusion OF
departing trains.
Money Bound for New York.
CHICAGO, Aug. 22-Postofice inspector
Kimball declared today after investigating
the recent theft of the two mail pouches
on a Burlington train that the stolen
pouches contained matter sent to points
east Of Chicago. He said that IL $25o,0OO
had been stolen it must have been cur
rency sent from, the Denver banks to New
York. The Inspector doubted that such an
amount had been taken. He said that
there was no means of knowing whether
the pouches contained S25O00O or $3.50, but
that the amount, whatever it was, must
have been bound for New York
