REPORT Loss OF
U. 5. MONEY Orders
Two Books Disappear From
City Sub-Station
No. 6
AUTHORITIES
ARE INVESTIGATING

Postal authorities of this city and
Washington, D. c., are investigating
the disappearance Of two blank money
order books from a desk in Sub Sta
tion. No. 6. on Friday Of last week.
Despite a thorough search by Mrs.
Eta Devoe, who has charge of the
station. which is located in a drug
store. owned by her at the southwest
corner of Fourth and Rodney streets,
and Postal Inspector Plummer. no
trace of the books has been found
Although Mrs. Devoe says the books
have been stolen the authorities are
inclined to think that the books have
been mislaid.
At any rate the search for the
books continues and every postofiice
in the country has been notified of the
loss and the numbers of the blank
orders furnished them. AS the Fed
eral laws make it an offense for any
one to have such orders in their pos
session, unless filled out, it is not
thought anyone would retain the
blank orders any length of time.
The loss of the two books was dis
covered by Mrs Devoe. on Friday
She thinks the books we're taken by
someone who entered the rear of the
building while she was waiting on
customers in the front of the store.
She made a search for them. and on
not finding them, reported the matter
to Postmaster English. He at once no
titled the postoffice department at
Washington.
When the books disappeared there
was $50 in money and large number
of postage stamps lying on the desk
in the office The fact that the stamps
and money were untouched, leads the
government officials to think that the
books were mislaid. They contend
that had any one entered the building
with the intention Of stealing. they
would have carried off the money and
stamps. The serial number of the
blanks reported missing are 13,6O1 to
$4,000, inclusive.
