Get $44 From Under CrOS-

Sleeps
FAMILY AFFLICTED
AFTER EXPERIENCE

Robbers who apparently piled their
trade with the aid of a drug recently
visited the home of Frank Crossan,
No. 924 East Seventeenth stret, and
after drugging the family secured S44
from under the pillow on which Mr..
Crossan's head was resting. The rob-
berry was not discovered until the
following morning when Mr.. Cros-
san, his wife and children awoke
feeling unwell. When Mr.. Crossan
went down stairs several suits Of
clothes were found on the floor Of
the kitchen. An investigation was
then made and the money which had
been placed under the pillow was
found TO be missing.
Mr. Crossan is employed at the
shops of the Pullman Car Company
and had just been paid. The belief
OF the family is that whoever entered
the house came in about s o'clock at
night. At this time Mrs. Crossan was
alone in the house with her children.
She heard a noise as If some one had
entered the front door. Going out
side, she asked some neighbors if
they saw any one entering. They
said they did not. Although some
what frightened, she decided to in
vestigate, and with her son, went up
stairs. Each room in turn was look
ed into, but nobody could be seen.
Upon Mr.. Crossan's S return his wife
told him of her scare. Mr.. Crossan,
believing everything was alright.
went to bed with his wife and chill
dren. He took his pay and placed It
under the pillow at the head of the
bed. His wife gave him several dol
lars to place along with it,
Il is thought the robber was in the
house all evening and had hidden
himself until the family had fallen
asleep.

thusiastic one. Matters Of routine
business were taken up and dispensed.
No vacancies had been made on the

MAKE NO EXCEPTION

BY ruling Of the postofiice de-
partment, dated April "a, 1914, all re-
turn cards printed ON envelopes pur-
thereof in city delivery cities must
bear the street and number or post
office box number of the purchaser;
or the room number of the building
If he be located in an Office building
and such building is sufficiently we'll
known to be listed In the city d.
rectory-otherwise the street and
number OF the building must be given.
The reason given by the department
for this ruling Is that "the great in
crease Of indefinite addressing has be-
come source OF serious embarrass-
ment to the postal service and affects
the efficiency OF the service to the
public"
I The department also advises post
masters that mo exception is made in
favor Of prominent purchasers; the
only exception being the case Of pur-
chasers having no street address or
postoffice box number" This order
was issued primarily to promote the
efficiency Of the postal service, mat
ter OF great Importance, especially to
business men. When this view OF
the matter is brought to their notice
it is not to be doubted that purchasers
of special request envelopes will con-
cur In the ruling.
