Washington Secret Service Men at
Work on What is Termed One OF
the Boldest Thefts Ever Committed

bining the skill OF experts with the
simplest of methods, thieves, last.
night or early this morning. robbed
the vault in the Office of the cashier
at the Richmond pOstoffice of stamps
estimated to be worth about $4,000.
and incidentally carried off $3.50 IN
cash belonging to the pay roll fund.
For audacity the feat was almost
without parallel, certainly in this part
of the country The robbers could
hardly have chosen more public
place in which to operate. They were
within less than fifteen feet of one OF
the main thOroughfares of the city,
which is at all hours of the night
brightly lighted, while the room IN
which the robbery was done, is or
dinarily illuminated and was presum-
ably lighted last night with a number
of electrict bulbs. Large windows
open on the street referred to. and
nc movement could we'll be made
within the room without observation
BY passers by.
NO Dynamite OScC.
To avoid this publicity in part. the
robbers shifted one or two bookcases,
obliquely across the front of the safe.
In this way the man operating the
drill. which did the business. could
work without being clearly seen. 1t
appears that the drill used was of the
screw pattern and about third of an
inch in diameter Ii was first applied
to the outer door of the vault, which
was pierced with ease apparently, and
the interior mechanism OF the bar
rier was pried away.
The same operation was then per
formed upon the inner door, and me
swag was within the grasp of the
locters. No dynamite was used.
One OF the amazing things about
the job is its magnitude. Box after
box OF stamps was removed from the
vault One man could not possibly
have carried all away Nor could half
a dozen men. The probabilities are
that some sort Of vehicle was used
to bear off theb OCty.
Chasing the Clue.
Secret service men from Washing
ton. under the direction of District
Inspector Harrison, have been on the
case all day. assisted by the city po-
lice. and it is understood that there
is clue tonight. which may lead 90
an arrest or several arrests at an ear

than one-thlrd in fifty years? This tend
eney is worldwide, and its effect is nee

Answer Is Plain.
THE answer is written in the records
OF the shifting in the occupations Of the
people Of this country. and a similar
tendency throughout all the world In
thirty years, from 1870 10 1900, the num-
Der OF inhabitants engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits in the United States in
creased TAI per cent, and those in al
other occupations Increased 1SJ per cent.
The number engaged in trade and trans
portation Increased 2S3 per cent; the
number in professions, 23S per cent, and
the number in manufacturing and me-
chanie arts, 1912 per cent, and in do
nestle and personal service 145 per cent.
Thus the number engaged in other pur-
suits than farming increased ~ times
as rapidly as the number engaged IN
agriculture. Professional men increased
four times and those in trade and trans
portation more than three times as rap
