THEFT UNCOVERED
BY WESTERN UNION
Telegraph Company Alleges 1t
Lost Vast Sum Through
Operators
Railr0admen Are Accused OF
Having Stolen Fully
100000 =

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 20.-A sys-
tematic investigation by the Western
Union telegraph company. carried on
closed an organized system of theft
among railroad operators on the Pacific
coast by reason of which the telegraph
company has been robbed of an amount
estimated at several hundred thousand
dollars, according to a statement made
tonight by an official of the company
who is in charge of the investigation.
Complaints made in several instances
1hat messages filed at certain stations
bad not been sent or delivered and the
railing off of receipts at other places
on railroad lines caused the Western
Union officials to institute a thorough
investigation A secret service was or
ganized and it was discovered that in
some instances so per cent of the money
received for messages filed at railroad
offices never reached the telegraph
company. The kilograms with but few
exceptions were properly transmitted
and delivered, but all records of the
dispatches, so far as reports and book
keeping pertained, had been destroyed.
Following the discovery and proof of
thefts warrants were obtained for the
arrest of several operators in the state
of Washington, and it is alleged by
officials of the company that at least
one of the arrested men has confessed
The arrested men will be brought to
trial shortly after the first of the year.
According to the information gath
cred by the telegraph company, sys-
tematic collusion in the robberies ex-
listed among certain railroad operators.
In some. offices the thefts are said to
have aggregated several hundred dol
lars month and officers of the COM
pany believe that during the last year
the total of the sums stolen will eX-
ceed 100000.
| Only railroad operators are alleged
| to be involved in the robberies. Un-
der the system adopted by the Western
Union company it would be almost i'm
! possible for it's operators in other than
railroad offices to embezzle moneys paid
for transmission of messages.

the front door with two keys, one for

The stock of the Rosenthal company
was insured for $4,000 and the build

REPORTS
ON ISLAND OUTLOOK
Chief of Bureau of Insular Af=
fairs Commends the Phil
ippine Scouts
Official Also Indorses the Phil
ippine Tariff Act, Which
Is Now Pending

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The Philip
pine scouts are highly commended, the
bill to amend the Philippine tariff act
now pending in the senate is indorsed
and encouraging progress in the Phil
ippines throughout the year are an
nounced in the annual report of Brig
aided General Clarence r. Edwards,
chief of the bureau of insular affairs,
made public tonight.
General Edwards says the Philippine
scouts are an important factor in the
education of the islands and in the Gre
alton of higher standard of living as
well as in the extension of American
influence.
In referring to the bill to provide
free entry into the United States of
Philippine products, with certain ex-
ceptions and free entry of United
States products into the Philippine ISL
ands and free trade between the United
States and the Philippines without ex-
ception after April II, 1909, the report
says the friends of the measure are en-
tirely agreeable to the inclusion of a
clause limiting Philippine sugar to be
admitted under its provisions to 400, 900
tons annually This the sugar people
admit would be sufficient to restore
some of the former prosperity to the
sugar interests in the islands.
A reduction of the present duties on
tobacco, the report suggests, would af-
ford the moral encouragement of which
producers in the islands now stand so
seriously in need.
The passenger outlook is especially
bright on the railroads of those islands.
The average density of population in
the different provinces compares very
favorably with some of the countries
of Europe. In Cebu it is greater than
the density of population of Japan
Italy, Germany or France.
The postal savings bank, part of the
bureau of posts, shows a steady in
crease of business and the institution
has been well received by all classes
OF the depositors 80 per cent are Amer
leans and 40 Filipinos. The separate de-
posits range from few centavos to
more than 5000 pesos.
The excess of insular expenditures
over revenues during the last fscal
year was s57O,524 and the excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures in the city OF
Manila was s32S,367.

NO FIRE INSURANCE ON
CANAL ZONE BUILDINGS
Governments Only Protection
Against Blaze Lies in Pre-
cautiOnary Measures

WASHINGTON. Dec. 20.-On the
many millions of dollars worth Of
buildings owned by the United States
government in the Panama canal zone,
not one cent of insurance is carried
The government has spent S10,250,000
in buildings in the zone. which amount
takes no account of the value of the
buildings purchased from the French,
both in the canal zone and the republic
of Panama. nor value of the property
in all the buildings, including the large
amount of stores.
The only protection against fire the
government has for these buildings
scattered along line so miles in
length is in precautionary measures,
and in the fire department, which has
been developed to splendid state of
efficiency.
In all there are S,33S buildings owned
by the isthmian canal commission, and.
with but few exceptions. these are of
very light construction.

AVIATION ENTHUSIASTS
SAY AMERICA. is SLOW
Bishop and Lahm Speak of the
Great Interest in the
Flights Abroad

NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-Two enthusi-
asts in aviation arrived here today
from Havre. They We're Courtland Field
Bishop, president of the Aero Club of
America, and Frank S. Lahm, father
of Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm, one of
the United States army's specialists in
aeronautics
Speaking of the progress of aviation,
Mr. Bishop said: L purpose to do all
/ can to arouse enthusiasm in this
country in the new field. 1t is de-
plorable how little interest is mani
tested here in 1t. In France everybody
is wild over it,
Mr. Lahm had this to say: The ex-
perimental stage of flying has been
passed and we have arrived at the time
of practical demonstration. Aviation
is going to have. a great moral effect
because when you know that a man
with dynamite may be floating above
your house it makes you think. In the
spring ! think that there will be aero
plane flights from France across the
English channel and back"
Both Lahm and Bishop highly praised
the achievement of Wilbur Wright with
his aeroplane in France

NEW MEXICO'S GOVERNOR
ASKS FOR STATEHOOD
Declares wide Awake, Pros

ton" Should Be Recognized

WASHINGTON, Dec. COVE have
wide awake, progressive. industrial and
intelligent population and we want to
be treated like men,
In these words Governor George Cur
ry of New Mexico asks statehood for
his territory in his annual report to the
secretary of the interior, made public
today.
Governor Curry says New Mexicos $
credit is excellent that no strikes mar
the record of its industries, the laws
enacted by its legislature are good,
gambling is prohibited and the Sunday
closing religiously enforced. So, he
conc ludes, New Mexico deserves state
hood. The governor said that the popu-
lation of the territory is more than
10000 and that there is more than
$500, 900, 900 worth of property in New
Mexico in addition to its coal, timber
and fertile lands.
He asked that the Carey land act be
extended to the territory. and the bill
now before congress providing for a
seventh judicial district for New Mex
leo be enacted into the law.

What Miller Says

l. n. Miller Jr, general superintend-
ent of the western division of the
Western Union telegraph company, said
last night that the alleged peculations
of railroad operators in the northern
district of his division had been under
investigation for some time, but APP
-peared to be confined to few men on
the Northern Pacific railroad. He said:
Only one arrest has been made so
far.eAh hat of an operator at Ritzville,
WASH, who has been held to answer
for trial in the superior court for APP
propriating to his own use money he
received for kilograms. This man has
confessed and implicated half dozen
other operators. Just how far the con-
spiracy extends we have not yet ascer-
tanned, but I think that the loss TO the
company is small and the peculations
seem to be confined to the Northern Pa
cific line. The operators Transmitted
the messages given them all right, but
failed to account to the telegraph COM
pany for the money received for the
kilograms.
