Postal Thieves Reported Plentiful

picion Of theft, to see if he is spending
more money than his salary will al
low
1t is wonderful that there are al
few thieves among the many thou
sands of clerks who handle the mails,
for great temptations surround them,
as they handle millions of valuable
parcels. These clerks soon learn to
tell by the very touch of letter
whether 1t contains money. 1t would
be an easy matter for the dishonest
clerk to slip letters into his pocket
and open them in some private place.
But the cases of dishonesty are COM
paratively few.
There are but two successful ways
to catch a postoffice thief and these
are by constant watch and by decoy
letters. With these and a large sup
ply of patience the game will be
caught. It often requires months and
sometimes years to accomplish this.
It is one Of the most annoying and
difficult lines of detective work man
ever engaged in and requires the most
earnest labor. Not a single thing
must be overlooked.
But few arrests have been made in
Washington where there is a powerful
army of postoffice employees. They
seldom go wrong, yet inspectors are
no more numerous there than in other
cities.

IF THE legislative season is dull,
L the rumor crop is very large, and
it has been what might be called a
season of denfals in the capitol. Re
Gently whisperings of changes in the
presidents cabinet were afloat, and
they multiplied SO rapidly and as
sumed such distorted shapes that they
led to vigorous denials from the white
house authorities. The two in parti-
cular that were whispered around
were the resignation of Secretary of
the Treasury MacVeagh and the ele-
walton of Mr.. Taft's secretary, Charles
D. Norton, to the place, and the ele-
walton Of Congressman James A.
Tawney to the position now occupied
by Secretary of the Interior Richard
A. Ballinger. Both called forth the
most vigorous denials
Aside from denying rumors. Presi-
dent Taft's chief work has been along
the lines of the Panama canal zone,
which he intends bringing to the at
tention of congress very soon. The
president has recommended and is
preparing to urge legislation appro-
priating large sums for the fortifica-
ton Of both entrances to the canal
zone, and this in itself will cause
struggle. In addition there is pend
