US. MAIL ROBBED OF S25O,OO0
REGISTERED Pouches MISSED
FROM BURLINGTON TRAIN.


900 sent by Denver Bank 20 Another
Bank IN Chicago -Robber Believed 10
Nave Had Confederate In the Mail Car.
OMAHA, Aug. 2O.-The biggest robbery
In the history Of the United States mails
took place between Denver and Omaha
last Thursday night, when three through
registered pouches which contained $780,
600 were stolen from the Burlington fast
mail train that runs between Denver and
Chicago.
The robbery took place on Thursday
night, but the news Of it did not come out
till to-day although postal inspectors Of
Salt Lake City Denver, Kansas City. Omaha.
st. Louis and Chicago have been at work
since the robbery.
To-day every postal inspector and Secret
Service man in the West is working on the
case.
On Thursday night seven through regis
tered pouches were sent from the Denver
post ofioe to the depot for the Burlington
fast mail train.
These were receipted for by the mail
clerk. When the train reached McCook.
Neb, il was found that three Of the pouches
were missing.
One Of the missing pouches was destined
for Omaha. another for Chicago and the
third was an empty for Lincoln. Although
the Omaha pouch was valuable. that to
Chicago contained a heavy shipment Of
cash from a Denver bank to one in Chicago.
The shipment is said to aggregate more
than $3.50, 900.
As soon as the loss was discovered the
inspectors we're notified and a search
begun. At first it was thought the missing
pouches had been sent 10 a wrong train,
but it is now known they were stolen.
Yesterday the Chicago bank telegraphed
the sending bank at Denver asking about
the shipment. The mail crew of the train
was called before the postal inspectors in
Omaha, whose suspicious had been aroused
by the failure Of the Omaha pouch to reach
this Office. That was before the complaint
was fled by the Chicago bank of it's loss
Yesterday a dozen Secret Service men
were in Omaha working on the case Tho
mail crew handling the missing pouches
we're examined, but they gave a good ac-
count OF themselves.
The impression prevails that the theft
was the work Of professionals who were
in collusion with some one who knew that a
large amount of money would be shipped
by registered mail from Denver on that
night and kept in touch with ii up to the
moment the registered pouches we're to be
placed on the train.
The Burlington fast mail leaves Denver
at night and in the darkness they could
easily escape with their booty.
LINCOLN, Neb,, Aug. 2O.-Supt. J. NJ,
Butler Of the Sixth division Of the railway
mail service believes the s250,O0O robbery
of registered mail on the Burlington road
took place just west Of the Nebraska line.
Both mail clerks were asleep while the
train was passing over long stretches Of
track with few stations. Butler believes
some one slipped into the mail car and
threw three sacks out Of the window.

The car had about twelve feet TO travel
before IL hit the wall. and by that time IL

through the wall OF the barn and Of the ad-
joining tenement house. making a hole fif-
teen feet high and eight feet in width. The
front platform Of the car was inside OF
Mrs. Cocona's kitchen before IL stopped.
No one was in the Cocona kitchen at
the time. but the car hit the tenement
house with such force that the twenty
families who were In the building ran for
safety. some to the street and others to the
roof. When Policeman Cannon of the
East Twenty second street station saw the
wrecked kitchen he notified the Building
Department. Inspector Raub went around

TRENTON, N. j.. Aug. 20-The State
Federation Of Labor was called upon to-day
TO consider a resolution instructing the
legislative committee to seek the passage
Of a bill which should make it the duty OF
chiefs Of police to invest gate the characters
and records OF strike breakers, and in
case these should be found to be bad, to
order them to Immediately leave the cities
in which they were working.
Tho resolution had some supporters, but
was lost after one Of the delegates said
that unless the law ives made broad enough
to include all workingmen IL would be
special lsgislation and therefore uncon-
etitutional. When thie view Of the case was
presented the enthusiasm was lessened
noticeably.
Another resolution was designed to bring
about q condition under which employers
should not be allowed TO discriminate
against aged worhmen simply because they
could not work as fast as younger men.
This was amended by the committee by
recommending that all affiliated orgsni,a-
tions adopt q superannusted wage liss
fixing rate for old men. In that form it
was passed.
These officers were elected: President,
Cornelius Ford. Hoboken; first vioe-presi-
dent, John Gill<ie, Millville; second vice
president, ii. J. Gottlob. Newark; secre-
tary, James J. Dardis, Elizabeth; treasurer,
