JURISDICTION or KANSAS
CITY OFFICE.
TOTAL VALUE 100000
Fifty Thousand of Which Was in One
Package-Bag Was in Transit
From Los Angeles to New
York.

Los Angeles. June 10 Reluctant
admissions made by postofIice Off
cials at Los Angeles, Washington and
Kansas City today confirms to some
extent that The belief Of the diaap
pearance of registered mail pouch
somewhere within the jurisdiction OF
the Kansas City Mo, postotfce last
Saturday night will prove one of the
biggest hauls in the history of the
postofflce department.
From a private source it was learn
ed that a package of al least $4,000 in
currency was among the contents OF
the pounch, which carried, in addition,
an unusually large number of letters,
and packages containing money and
other Yaluables to an amount which
may reach $4,000 more.
The pouch was in transit from this
city to New York and the postal in
spectors refuse any explanation Of
the manner in which 1t became lost 10
sight in transfer from one responsible
guardian Of registered matter are
strictest.
The fact that mail IN. process OF
transfer at the Union Depot in Kansas
city is handled in temporary sub
station since the destruction of the
regular branch office by fire several
months ago. supports the theory that
advantage was taken of the condi
tions presumed to be more lax than
ordinarily.
There is reason to believe that the
$4,000 package of currency which
viii undoubtedly prove to be the farg-
est individual loss, was shipment
made by Los Angeles bank to its
New York correspondent,
Late this afternoon some additional
information relative to the package
of currency supposed to have been IN
the pouch was obtained from Cashier
Charles Seyler of the Farmers and
Mcrcahnts National bank of this city,
who said:
According to our informption, the
mail pouch, made up here June and
leaving for New York the following
morning, has disappeared.
"A conservative valuation of the
currency contents furnished by this
and another bank of this city will be
$50 600. The total amount is made up
of between thirty and fifty packages,
the exact number being difficult to de
termine.
The missing funds were placed in
the postoffice the evening of June 2,
their destination being New York city
our correspondent there being the
Chemical National Bank TO whom our
portion of the shipment was consign
