as large an outfit as we wished In addition
to the usual paraphernalia we took with us
an 1S-foot whaleboat propelled by three

enveloped the building, cutting of

Futile attempts at rescue were made
by those who happened to be close to

those from the outside, but the fury
OF the flames drove them back before
they could reach the shrieking victims,
who, in their efforts to get out of the

themselves.

Washington, March 6.-Arthur Ira
vers, chief clerk to the third assistant
postmaster general, was dismissed
from the service today by Postmaster
General Hitchcock who, in a state
ment, declared Travers was guilty of
manipulating postage stamps for his
own financial benefit. The dismissal
is the result of an investigation of
more than a year.
. According to inspectors Travers to-
day confessed to manipulating rare
stamps so as to create a fictitious
value. The value of stamps disposed
of exceeded ten thousand dollars, but
the government did not suffer any loss.
Late today Travers was arrested by
officers of the United States district
attorneys ONCE charged with violating
the postal laws, which provide that no
official of the postoffice department
shall sell stamps for more or less than
their face value.

A SUBSTITUTE WAS RETURNED

NOT FOUND IN THREE DAYS.
BY Associated Press.

New York, March 6.-Aaron Ban
croft, a banker, eighty-six years old.
discovered today that he was robbed
last Thursday afternoon of securities
worth approximately 100000 in the
vestibule of the Produce Exchange
Safety Deposit and Storage Company.
Last Thursday Mr.. Bancroft placed
the securities into a large envelop tied
with red tape and bearing the firms
name in the corner. Alone he walked
the two hundred feet from his office
to the Produce Exchange. thence down
a fight of steps from the street level
entrance to the vaults.
Just as Mr.. Bancroft was about to
turn the corner at the end of the cor
ridor into the valuts, a tall man came
running around the corner and collided
with him. The shock threw Mr.. Ban
croft off his feet and in falling he
dropped the envelope.
That was the cue for an understood
young man who had been leaning
against the corridor wall. He stepped
up to Mr. Bancroft. assisted him to
his feet and was soiicitous to tuck un-
der his arm an envelope. Mr.. Ban
croft, of course, thought it was the en-
velope that fell. He went on to de-
post it in his box as usual.
CONTAINED OLD NEWSPAPERS.
Today. when George Bancroft, his
son, unlocked the box he found that
the only envelope there contained
three old newspapers. A clever substf-
tion had been effected when the elder
Bancroft was upset in the vault cor
ridor.
The robbers, it is believed, knew
on what day and hour it was the
firms custom to deposit its securities.
They knew that Mr.. Bancroft habftual-
Iy carried them in an envelope of Ger
tain appearance, for they provided
themselves in advance with so close
duplicate that it deceived even the
man who of all others should have
best known it's appearance.
So bold a robbery in daylight, in the
very heart of the city's financial dis
trict, shocked the police. Years ago
Inspector Byrnes had drawn dead
line across the city at Fulton street,
below which he ordered that no crook
or ptckpocket should go on even an
innocent errand, under pain of instant
| trouble with the police.
Having tried the order, the under
world ultimately obeyed, and for years
the financial district was the safest
place in the world for man with
large sums of money on his person.
Bank runners and messenger boys ran
about the streets, their pockets literal
ly stuffed with bills of large denomina-
tions.
