LOST REGISTERED LETTERS !,
FOUND IN QUEER PLACE
Missed From a Mangled Mail Bag,
They are Recovered From

They are Recovered From
Car Trucks.
It does not always follow that the
disappearance Of registered mail
packages indicate robbery of thu
mail. This was demonstrated on
The Overland Limited train No. 2
Friday, November 9Th, when a pack
age of five registered letters from
Schuyler disappeared between that
point and Omaha.
The recovery of the lost package
was as strange as it's disappearance.
The Schuyler pouch is picked up
from crane by means of a pouch
catcher as the train passes. This
pouch catcher is attached to the mail
car and hooks onto the pouch sus-
pended from the crane as the train
passes. In this particular instance
the pouch catcher did not make
good catch and the pouch fell under
the wheels of the train and was cut
in two. The mail was scattered along
the track for a considerable distance,
but the five registered letters, which
were in packet, could not be found
:. when the other mail was picked up.
The impression at once prevailed that
the registered package had been found
and kept by some one and it was re-
ported as lost.
Postof11ce Inspector L. A. Thomp-
son was started out to investigate. His
first visit was to Council Bluffs to
make inquiries of the postal clerks
on the car, and scarcely had he
reached there when he received word
that the registered package had been
found by the car cleaner resting snug
ly on the trucks under the dining
car. where it had been blown or
thrown when the mail pouch was
flung under the wheels at Schuyler.
That the package was not injured
In the slightest, nor Jared from its
position on the trucks, is simply an
other tribute to the Union Pacifc's
unsurpassed roadbed and perfect track.

RECORDS OF S7RANG AND
 DePALDIA SHOWN IN FEET

as referring to the fact in fractions of time.
 It has often been said that De Palmas feat was but a trihe better than Strangs for the simple reason that 3-5 of a second can hardly be considered.
 "A second is a most minute particle of time. mere pop of the fingers" one has said. 50 what must one-ifth of second be-
 But another aspect is present when it is pointed out that had the two men been on the same track and had made their records contemporaneously, De Palma would have won by 21 yards
 Suppose in a horse race King Hal wins over Nellie Bly by 21 yards?
 "1t was runaway" the fans would say Why King Hal won by three lengths"
 People in Birmingham, however, are confident that Strang will win back his laurels It is possible that he will tri- umph over De Palma this month for the two will appear in the carnival
 Thomas s, Abernathy, secretary of the Automobile club of Birmingham and who is promoting the races, states that he will be able within the next few days to make a more definite statement as to those who will enter the meet He states. however, that he will have ten cars in l. rmingham, that the programme as published will be carried out to the let ter, that there will be a trial for the mile record, and a trial for the 24-hour record
 I do not care to state that certain people will appear unless l have positive assurances stated the well known To- cal automobilst. but Strang and De Palma have signed up and I am certain to land others The number of foreign drivers will not be less than five, and may be as numerous as ten. In add- ton, I am endeavoring to persuade Mrs. Cuneo, the noted woman driver, and Miss Alice Porter the society girl of Elgin. H.. to come to Birmingham. Both were entered in the New Orleans races, and we will draw the majority of those en- tries"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-02-10

The feature of the Birmingham Auto mobile carnival, which will be opened February 25, will be the appearance of Ralph De Palma and Lewis Strang. two of the greatest drivers America has pro duced. and the two who. in the estimation of the people. have the most substantial reasons for the keenest rivalry.
 There are but four men who have driven a mile on a circular track in as fast time as 54 second. This quartet is composed of Barney oldheld. Walter Christie, Lewis Strang and Ralph De Palma. The respective records are :54, :5216 :51 S-5 and s:51 flat
 After establishing his record Barney Oldheld of the Green Dragon fame, re- clined on his laurels for two years. Then Walter Christie appeared on the scene and Barney was forgotten. Then a shat tered bone prevented Christie from ap- bearing one day and Lewis Strang broke into fame, establishing a new record of :51 3-5. This feat, which was performed in Birmingham, was the gossip for year. and then Ralph De Palma clipped away S-5 of a second and Strang no longer holds the honor.
 A second is such an infiniteslmal DOT tion of time that one can hardly est- mate how it is that one man can smash another's record and cut away only a fraction of one-sixtieth of minute. But when the distance is figured it can easily be aseertained in feet and yards by just how much De Palma defeated Strang.
 In going the mile in Minneapolis last fall De Palma consumed but 51 seconds. In every second, therefore, he covered lOS 2-5 feet or S4 1-3 yards. In one-fifth of the second he covered approximately yards and in 3-5 of the second, his distance was about 21 yards. Therefore, it would be quite as proper to state that De Palma defeated Strang by 2l yards.

SebeYaI Habe Canghf Ball
 Dropped From Wonument

Manager Molesworth of Birmingham, in course of a general conversation yester- day afternoon, stated his belief that the papers of the country had over-estimated the feat of Catcher Charlie Street of the Washington Americans in catching ball last August dropped from the top of Washington's monument in Washington.
 The story has gone the rounds stated Molesworth, that Street had accom- pnshed something that had never been ac- complished before. As a matter of fact other players have caught balls dropped from the monument In 1896 Jim Me Guire, the veteran catcher, turned the trick, and the papers had comparatively
