Officials of the Chicago & North
Western road and representatives of
the postoff1ce department recently
tested the new mail bag catching de-
vice invented by Charles Eve of Ra-
cine, and it is believed that it will be
adopted by the United States govern
ment and railroads. The new device
not only holds and releases a mail
bag from mail car, but removes a
mail bag from a pedestal at rail-
road station, at the same time making
it unnecessary to throw the mail bag
from the car to the platform, as is
now necessary with other devices.
