LIZ confirm to some extent the be-
lief that the disappearance OF
a registered mail pouch somewhere
within tho jurisdiction OF the Kansas
city post-of1'ce last Saturday night
will prove to be one of the largest
losses in the history of the Post-Offlce
Departments From private sources It
was learned to-day that a package of
at least $6O.000ain currency was among
the contents of the pouch, which car
ried. in addition. an unusually large
number of letters and packages con-
tanning money and other valuables.
The amount may reach total of
100000.
Tile pouch was In transit from Los
Angeles to New York. and the postal
inspectors refuse any explanation of
the manner in which 1t became lost to
sight. That pouch OF value has dis
appeared was admitted to-day by the

regular branch by fire several months
ago supports the theory that advantage
was taken, of conditions presumed to be
more lax than usual.

LITERARY WORK AND LECTURES
Many congressman are really mean
enough to say that our ex-presidents
can make comfortable living by
writing Tor what are called the leading

and editors of most of these publica-
tions accept principally the manu-
scripts of people who are either ia
nous, Infamous or welded to some
sort OF modern fad.
Twelve years ago William Jennings
Bryan had nothing to speak of in the

newspaper writer was approximately
$1,000 u year. Now he is ranked as
one of the rich men of the country.
His income from lectures is not less
than $4,000 q year. Facts ike

sentatives shake his head many times

| orators tended to show, according to tho
! report not the existence of past or
present disorder. but the possibility OF
future disturbances should the troops
be withdrawn. This Wow WIS held by
many men of almost all classes, but
was based on the changed conditions,
since the troops had arTivcd--namely.
the declaration of the operators reduc-
ing wages and refusing TO employ I'M
ion men,
As to the refusal of the operators to
employ union men, the report sets forth
statute of the state prohibiting such
discrimination. The commission ex-
presses Itself as satisfied that out Of
the entire membership in the miners
union there are not over a few hundred
men OF dangerous type, while the great
majority, probably three-fourths of tho
membership Of the union, were conced-
ed to be men OF lawabiding tendencies.
The report adds.
''By permitting their organization to
be managed and controlled by men OF
violent tendencies. the union as a body
has thus laid itself open 10 the re-
proach Of being a vicious organization.
