NO CLUE WORTH WORKING
Two of the Four Missing g Pack ages Were Found in the Post Office Where They Had Been Hidden by the Thief.

Los Angeles, June 15.-Fifteen thou sand dollars in currency of the orig inal s30.000 shipped June ' by the First National Bank of this city to the Bank of Bisbee by registered mail and stolen by unknown persons before it left the city, is still uncovered. The report received from Bisbee last night that the bank had received the full amount was verified today, hut this amount was a duplicate shipment sent by the Les Angeles bank and not the original.
 . Half of the stolen money, contained in two packages, one of $1O.000 and another of s5,0OO, was found yesterday or the day before at the local main postoffice, where it had been hidden by the thief. The two remaining packages, containing similar amounts. have not been found and no trace of them discovered.
 Much secrecy is maintained by the postal and bank officials regarding the affair. It Is known that a number of persons are under suspicion. but the evidence so far unearthed is so in tangible that-fsO immediate arrest is probable. Three postoffieee fnspeetors and detectives are working night and day, but have not yet been able to find any trace of the missing money.
 The case is stated to be an exact duplicate of the Kansas City post office robbery, which occurred a few months ago when nearly $50,00o was taken.
 The robbery occurred during the absence of Postmaster Flint who was at Louisville attending the conclave of Shriners He returned home yester- day in response to hurried messages.

Frank Erne Declares French Capital
Will Be Fight Center of World

Frank Erne. the former worlds
lightweight champion pugilist, who
has been organizing boxing clubs in
Paris and Milton Henry, the Ameri-
can jockey, have arrived in New York
from abroad
Erne has been in Paris two years
and will return there, perhaps to re
main permanently, next month. He
says Paris will be the biggest boxing
city in the world in three years.
Fencing clubs have given up the foils
for the gloves, and the Parisans are
paying as much money for fights as
the Americans. Kicking contests and
workmanship have taken back
seat. The boxing bouts were attend
ed by the cream of French society.
Erne said that while his visit was
merely one of pleasure he would take
back any good boxers that he might
be able to pick up here.

Brussels, Dec 19-Leopold IL, King
of the Belgians is making desperate
fight with death tonight and the odds
are strongly against the aged mon
arch. AS a last resort the surgeons
knife will be tried tomorrow If the
operation is successful, King Leopold
may live. All will depend on the
kings strength and vitality which are
fast ebbing.
Rheumatism has already conquered
the wasted frame. Dropsy has devel-
oped and an obstruction of the intes-
tines which must be removed, has
greatly aggravated his condition.
The general opinion is that tne
king will not survive the operation
and that he may die at any moment.
The monarch himself is rather Optim-
istic, and today said to his physician:
Operate, and the sooner the better.
But he added with a wistJul smile:
PERHAPS doctor the long, long Jour
ney is at hand.
The kings intellect is still as lucid
as ever. The mind which conceived
and carried out the gigantic Congo
project and reused resentment and
discussion all over the world calmly
directed what seems to be the final
chapter in his spectacular career. Sep
arated from his two eldest daughters
by a tragic skein of events with scan
dals of his own personal life whisper
ed by every tongue, Leopold lay to-
night in The Palms, little pavilion
of six rooms, near the great empty
fAeken Castle surrounded by his
faithful daughter, Princess Clemen-
tine, Crown Prince Albert and the roy
al household. The castle is empty for
the king sold all the furniture, dis
missed the servants and withdrew TO
the pavilion. not far from the chateau
which is the home of his most intim-
ate friend, Baroness Vaughan.
While 1t is understood that a whim
Of the sovereign caused the closing
of the castle, this action probably had
to do with the kings plan to place
most of his personal and real proper
ty in control of stock company TO
permit the inheritance to pass to his
daughters undsturbed by scandals
such as followed the death of the
queen.
Princess Louise, whose creditors
tried to prevent her from receiving
her inheritance of the queens jewels,
has given dramatic touch to the
present situation by sending from
Hungary an insstent appeal to her
father to receive her, and it is rum
ored tonight that the king has con
sented to see, his banished daughter.
Nothing has yet been heard from
Princess Stephanie.
Baroness Vaughan, it is rumored,
insisted on seeing the king today but
did not succeed in carrying out her
plan. 1t is also reported that she
was informed that if the king died
she would not be allowed to remain
in Belgium.
