SALT LAKE AND
STATE NEWS
P POSTAGE STAMP
MYSTERY SOLVED

Salt Lake City. Sept 26.-When a
pretty young woman. who is even yet
confidential clerk and treasurer for a
Salt Lake agency manager, decided to
steal postage stamps to purchase dress
goods she did not take into account
the fact that the United States post
office inspectors are interested in all
such thefts. The fact, too, that she
was so implicitly trusted by her en-
ployer gave her confidence. but after
two years Post Office Inspector c. D.
Lowe brought her crime home TO her.
Because she promised restitution,
and because her employer said he
could not do without her even If she
had stolen the stamps, the inspector
promised to use his influence to pre-
vent her name being made public.
Apart from the Identity OF the thief
the incident Is OF interest because IL
shows the tenacity with which Uncle
Sans minions hunt all offenders
against the federal laws.
The first hint Of the theft came
when a big department store in Chi
cago notified post Office inspectors
1t had received a remittance of moro
than $50 worth of stamps. Whenever
any unusual quantity OF stamps is re-
ceiyed by the mall order houses they
anyways tell the post Office authorities
so 1t can be ascertained whether the
stamps were stolen.
Post Office Inspector Lowe, being
assigned to the case, found that the
Salt Lake woman who had sent the
stamps was the sister of the cashier
who. 1t was later learned, had stolen
the stamps. The girls employer was
notified that she was suspected, but
he ridiculed the idea and added that
he had not been losing any stamps.
His obstinacy made II necessary for
the inspector to bring the crimo home
to the young woman in some other
way. 1t took two years. but II WAS
accomplished Notwithstanding the
fact that the stolen stamps amounted
to only $40 The money spent In trac-
ing the theft was many times this sum.
but principle was involved

vinced the girl was taking the stamps.

and got him to prepare a fluid which
would leave mark on the mucilage
used on the Lincoln memorial stamps.
but upon no others He was able to do
this because tho mucllage on these
stamps was not quite the same kind
used on others. The next step was TO
see that the agency where the cashier

WHEN THE TRIBUNE PLAYED
WITH A BOOMERANG.

The Salt Lake Tribune has over
played It's part. In an over-weeninG
ambition to do something or say that
which would cast odlum upon what
II terms the Federal Bunch" the Tri'
bune laid bare TO President Taft the
inner conscience OF the agItators who
are seeking with such persistent NAL
Ice to stir up strife in Utah.
On the front page of Sundays Trl-
bune was a long article in "screach'
Ing headlines" intended for the Presi-
dents eyes, condem1ing Gov. Spry,
Sen. Smoot and others for Offering
Mayor Bransford an affront and In

fuslDg the mayor j place In the pro-
gram OF welcome.
Mayor Bransford. by invitation of
the Governor and party, came on to
Ogden Sunday. When his attention
was called TO the Tribune story. he
said there was nothing to II, that he
had been given every courtesy a man
In his position could desire, and In
no manner had he been sighted, in
suited OF rebuffed. He explained that
he and the Governor had talked over
the arrangements, each insisting that
the other should make the speech of
greeting at the exercises In his city.
and that finally, after much persist
ence on the mayors part, tie Gov
crnor had promised TO extend the hand
of welcome.
Evidently the Tribune did not know
os this understanding and did not care
to inquire. as investigation might spoil
rare opportunity to assault the Fed
eral Bunch" and place the offensive
ness before the President
Undoubtedly the President obtained
the correct version Of the whole occur
renee first handed from the mayor
whose sense of decency has
not sunk 10 such depths OF deprayity
as that of the organ of his party, with
the result that the Presidents i'm
preston of the political fight in Salt
Lake may not be flattering TO those
who are shouting Federal Bunch In
an effort to have outrageous misrepre-
sentations accepted.
The Salt Lake speech Of President
Taft. based on the text, "A soft an
swer turneth away wrath: but griey-
Gus words stir up anger" was a re-
buke of those who devote their ener-
gies 10 disturbing the peace OF this
region.

Treasury as Depleted AS
In Cleveland's Time
Taft Faces Big
Problem.

WASHINGTON, March IL.
1t was ascertained today
from high authoritative
sources that the United States
treasury is i'm no better com
ditiOn than when Grover
Cleveland was obliged to
cause the issuance of bonds
TO meet the current expenses
of the government.
The house ways and means
committee has decided practically
to add most of the taxes imposed
during the Spanish war. In addi-
ton to these some new ones will
be added to the tariff bill but,
even with this Legislation, 1t seems
doubtful whether the additional
revenue provided will meet the
needs OF the government.
The house ways and means
committee, which has been con-
sidering the subject of tariff al
teration and revision, has pro-
vided for $50. 100000 to $40. .O00,-
900 to be raised by special taxa
tion.
The balance needed to place the
treasury in better condition is ex-
pected to be provided by customs
revenues.
President Taft at today's meet
ing of the cabinet submitted his
first draft of the special tariff
message and the petition relating
to special taxation will receive
closest consideration.
