UNCLE SAM HAS
YEGCS AS SPIES
They Are Paid Regular Sal
aries to Give Tips on
Raids on POStOffiCeS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2o--There was
a good deal OF comment ana some
criticism among Government officials
to-day when It was learned that the
United States had In its employ pro-
fessional safe blowers and yeggmen,
who are expected to peach" on their
comrades when safes are robbed or
postofiices looted.
Chief Postofice Inspector Frank e.
McMillin made this fact known TO the
subcommittee of the House Commit-
tee on Postofce and Post Roads three
weeks ago, when an item of $1,000
under the heading OF "Depredations'
appeared in his accounts. Mr.. Mo.
Mlllin then said the $1,000 was used in
buying evidence against robbers, and
that this was best got by employing
professionals who had less difficulty in
joining the gangs than an honest man
would have.
Mr. McMillin said to-day, in speak
ing Of the crooks in the employ Of
Uncle Sam:
Il viii say that we have used, 10
use ana nope 10 continue 10 use cttlt-
breakers of the country class as our
allies They are known among them
selves and to the officers OF the law as
yeggmen. They look like tramps and
travel as tramps.
These men work through the coun-
try six months Of the year, and when
the heavy weather comes on they flock
to the large cities. There is a place
on the Bowery-but that is a matter
for the New York police"
How do you secure these menu"
1--WE buy them, or their services, just
as you would buy the services OF a
boolglyeeper. And they take desperate
chances, as they must mingle with
their comrades. tell us of a raid that
Is to be made. and then be a part of
the yeggman party when our men ar.
rive to make the arrests. Usually
there is shooting. or course, none of
our men hurts a spy II he can help IT,
but II has been our experience that
the yeggman crowd suspects the right
individual when the raid takes place
and Il is an easy matter to shoot a
man and have II appear he was shot
by officers"
