ROBBED BY ITS OnSnATORS
THE WESTERN UNION A VICTIM
or ORGANIZED THEFT.
Pacific Coast Employees Of Telegraph
Company Charged With Hold
Ing Out Money.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 21.--An invest
cation by the Western Union Tele
graph company, carried on during the
past six months. has disclosed an or
ganized system Of theft among rail
road operators on the Pacific coast by
reason of which the telegraph com
pany has been robbed Of an amount
estimated at several hundred thou.
sand dollars, according to a statement
made Sunday night by an official Of
the company who is in charge on the
investigation.
Complaints made In several IN.
stances that messages filed at certain
stations had not been sent or deliv-
cred and the falling Off Of receipts
at other places on railroad lines
caused the Western Union officials to
institute q thorough investigation. A
secreta service was organized and It
was discovered that In some In.
stances go per cent Of the money re-
ceived for messages filed at railroad
offices never reached the telegraph
company. The kilograms, with but
few exceptions, were properly trans
mitted and delivered. but all records
OF these dispatches, so far as reports
and bookkeeping perta!ned, had been
destroyed.
Following the discovery OF the theft
and the accumulation Of proof. war
rants were obtained for the arrest Of
several operators in the state Of Wash
lngton, and 1t is alleged by officials
Of the company that at least me of
The arrested men has confessed. They |
will all be brought to trial shortly.
Only railroad operators are said to
DO involved In the alleged steal.

THAT HARTMAN DECISION
COMMERCE COMMISSION REGARD
RULING AS IMPORTANT.
Mr.. Clements Believes Scope Of Effec.

Hampered.

the United States supreme court de-
cision which held that g. H. Hartman

sion's questions about certain stock
transactions. @a''t +aS3t
Mr.. Clements emphatically denied
that the commission expected an ad.
verse decision and insisted that the
commission regarded the decision az
important and not lightly, as has been
stated.
'"The commission" said Mr.. Glenn.
ents, deemed its effort and position
to be clearly in the line of its duties
and within the purpose and intent Of
the law. No desire to criticise the
court is entertained, but manifestly,
the scope of effective inquiry and dis.
closure will be greatly hampered and
narrowed by this decision. The
wholesome effects Of investigation
have often been seen in the dissipa.
ton of methods and practices, which
though unjust and even reprehensible,
had not been specifically forbidden by
law. Such Investigations have also
demonstrated the need of amend.
ments to the law as well as the
form they should take and that, too,
without individual harm, or even In
convenience at all comparable with
the harm to public resulting from the
evil practices disclosed. These in.
vestigations have also pointed the way
to a more effective administration Of
the law than would otherwise have
seen possible.
There are many thoughtful per
'7ns who believe that publicity which
dIscloses any evil and indefensible
practice in the management Of cor
porations engaged in a business which
Affects the public interest Is even
more efficacious against wrong doing
than formal rules or regulations. It
Is difficult to overestimate the Inn
portance of full publicity in these mat
ters, which can never be had except
IN the searching examination Of wit
lesses cognizant Of the facts and
which are the subject of
inquiry.
"The foundations for the successful
proceeding Of the government In the
Northern Securities case was laid in
in investigation Of this kind, began
lpon an order of the commission sub
tantlally similar in all respects to the
ne upon which the recent investiga-
ION Of the Hartman lines was con-
ucted."

ABE UNDER SEALED ORDERS
BATTLEsHIP AND CRUISER LEAVE
NORFOLK ON SECRET MISSION.
Mystery Surrounds Destination Of
Maine and North Carolina
May 60 to Venezuela.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The mos
complete mystery surrounds the des
tination of the battleship Maine which
left Norfolk Monday under sealed or
ders.
Neither the state nor the navy de
partment ofiicials will make any state
ment on the subject more than to say
that the vessel has gone ION a cruise.
and they will not deny nor affirm ru-
mors that the ship 10 bound for any
duty In Venezuelan waters. The
American government is without any
naval representation in that immedi-
ate section and should an outbreak
against the existing government oc-
cur such American interests as may
exist In the ports Of La Guaira, Porto
Cabello and Maracaibo would have to
appeal to the nayies Of foreign ma
tons for help.
1t has been the belief Of the state
department that the feeling manifest
cd In Caracas last week would de-
velop into something more serious.
In such case 1t would be desirable to
have at hand war vessel.
Because Of the distance Of Cura-
Gao from Venezuela the state depart
ment is without communication even
with its consuls in Venezuela, 1t nav.
Ing no diplomatic representation ex-
cept after considerable delay, and this
is considered unfortunate.
As the Maine is equipped with
wireless telegraphy, this affords q
ready means of communication with |
the United States If necessary. The
Maine Is in command Of Rear Ad.
miral Conway H. Arnold, who was
In Washington on Saturday in con-
ference with the naval oflcials. This
