MAIL BOXES ARE
] ROBBED AT NIGH Z
Professionals BLOW Off Yale Locks and Help Themselves to Vau
ables in Six Different Boxes-Secret Service Men
Close the Heels Of the Robbers.

I eral officers. Yesterday morning two
United States secret service men ar
rived here. having traced postonice
robbers from the east to Salt Lake
and thence here. All day these men
were on the outlook for some trace
of the crooks, but were disappointed
until confronted this morning with the
wholesale work OF the gang.
II Is thought that the men are
making a trip TO the Pacific coast
from the east. as they left evidence
of their work in many cities from
Chicago TO Ogden.
The small locks on the mall boxes
are blown off with an explosive. In
the robberies of last night the locks
which were blown open by the thieves
were taken with them. and IL is be-
lieved that the men aim TO make du-
plicate keys 1t Is said that all the
locks used by the postal department
on the boxes are alike in design and
that key made TO 1T the locks in
this city could be used in any part
OF the country.

DENIES FAIRBANKS STORY
AS HE DID THAT OF COOK

HAMILTON. Mont, April 14.-Edward
Barrill, the guide who accompanied Fred
erick A. Cook on his Mount Mckinley
trip and who made an affidavit during
the polar controversy that the doctor
had never reached the top of the peak,
says in his opinion the Fairbanks party,
headed by Thomas Lloyd, never reached
the summit either.
Barrill asserts that it is impossible to
climb the mountain at the time of the
year the Fairbanks party claimed to have
done so. He also declares it is i'm
possible to reach the summit over any
other route than the one selected by him
self and DIR. Cook.
In regard to the story from Fairbanks
that no traces of Cooks camps were
found, Barrill says:
1T would be impossible to find any
indication of them until after the first %
June because at the time the Fairbanks
party claimed to have been up the noun
tain, the route covered by myself and
the doctor is covered beneath a deep
blanket of snow. There would be moth
ing to mark the camps anyhow except
empty oil cans
