Western Union Telegraph company
carried on during the last six months
mas disclosed 81 organized system Of
theft among railroad operators on the
Pacific coast BY reason Of which the
telegraph company has boon robbed Of
IN amount estimated at several hun
dred thousand dollars, according to .
statement made BY IN ofieial Of the
company, who 'hxs had charge Of tho
investigation. He said:
Complaint made in several instances
that messages hled ct certain stations
had not been sent or delivered, and the
falling OF Of receipts at other places
on railroad lines, caused tho Western
Union officials to institute . thorough
investigation. A secret service was or
ganized and It was discovered that in
some instances 60 per sent Of the money
received for messages fled at railroad
Offices never resched the telegraph com
pany. Tho telegrams, with but few
exceptions, were properly transmitted
and delivered, but ali records Of the
ldispatches 20 far a. reports and book
keeping p~ertained, had been de-
stroyed."
Following the discovery and proof Of
the thefts warrants wore obtained for
the arrest Of several operators in the
state Of Washington, and it 10 alleged
BY officials Of the company that at least
one Of the arrested mon has confessed.
Tho arrested mon will be brought to
trial shortly after the first Of the year.
According to the information gath
cred by the telegraph company syste-
matte collision in the robbery existed
among certain railroad operators. In
some Offices the thefts are said to have
aggregated several hundred dollars q
month and officers Of the company be-
lieve that during the last year the to-
tai Of the sums stolen win exceed
$4,000
Only operators are alleged to be in
volved in the robbery. Under the sys-
tenn adopted by the Western Union
Telegraph company, it would be almost
impossible for its operators in other
than railroad Offices to embezzle money
paid for transmission Of messages.
Get Confession at Rttxville.
San Francisco, Dec. 21.-I. N. Miller
Jr, general superintende lent Of the west
ern division Of the Western Union Teie-
graph company, stated that the alleged
populations Of railroad operators in the
northern district Of his division had
been under investigation for some time,
but appeared to be confined to a few
men on the Northern Pacific railroad.
"Only n arrest has been made so
far, that Of an operator at Ritzville,
Wash, who has been held to answer for
trial in ths superior court for appropri-
ating to his own use money he had re-
ceived for kilograms said MI. Miller.

Gated a dozen other operators"
