Two Letters Leading to
Identity of Relatives
Found in Suicides Room

Despite his desire to die unknown
to his relatives, Jacob Kirchner,
twenty-three years old, who killed
himself early New Years Day by
inhaling Illuminating gas, evidently
forgot to mail two letters to his rela-
tives. The letters were found in his
room. One was addressed to his step
father, Mr.. D, A. Seagrist, 62S AL
bany avenue, Edmonton, Canada"
while the other was addressed to his
sister, Mrs. r. Kraft, Stuttgart,
Germany"
Kirchner's body is at Holes
morgue, in Shipman street, where it
will remain for a few days in antici-
patton of some word in reply to the
letters. Just what the missives con-
tanned is not known, as they were
sealed.
Kirchner took his own life because,
as he stated in lengthy letter to his
landlord, he was disappointed in him
self. He was in i'll health. New
Years Eve he made merry with a
party of friends at $50 South Thir-
tenth street. After the party broke
up he went to his room in the apart
ments of Paul Teuber in the same
house.
He was found dead several hours
later. Kirchner asked that his body
be turned over to university or
medical college for scientific purposes.
Had Kirchner mailed the letters no
trace of the mans relatives would
have been found, as he destroyed all
records of his life and the addresses
of his friends and relatives about two
weeks before he killed himself.

MENACE" COSTS
TWO THEIR Jobs
Women Lose Positions in Chat
ham Postoffice for Destroy
ing Copies of Paper.

CHATHAM, Jan. 5.-Miss Teresa
Mccormack, an assistant postmistress
here, and Miss Anna Glynn. her clerk,
were removed from the postoff1ce Sat
urday, because, they say, some I'M
known power has been working
against them ever since they destroyed
several copies of the Menace, an anti
Catholic paper, last February.
Miss Mccormack and Miss McGlynn
admit they destroyed the copies of the
Menace, but only after they had been
refused by the persons to whom they
had been directed. She realizes her
mistake, she said, but believed until
Saturday that the trouble had blown
over.
The action will seriously cripple the
office. It leaves DR.. william ]. Wolfe.
the new postmaster, without anyone
in the Office familiar with the duties.
Former Postmaster E. F. Ferris
said today that he had been notified
by the postal authorities in Washing
ton last spring to dismiss the girls,
but he did not do it, knowing that it
would cripple the office for his sue
cessor. He was loud in his praises
of the two young ladies, and said
that if they realized the gravity of
tnelr oHenSe at the time lney WOULD
not have destroyed the copies Of The
Menace. Hhe is Republican and his
successor a Democrat.
Miss Mccormack said today that
she had destroyed The Menace only
after several of the Offices patrons
had said they didn't want 1t, didn't
know why 1t was sent to them and
didn't know who ordere it.
"s was informed long ago that the
case was dropped and I am at loss
to understand why it is brought up
again at thist ime," said Miss Nc
Cormack. st may have been done
by some malicious person. owing to
the change of postmastership, to Grip
pie DR.. Wolfe in his new duties"
DR.. Wolfe says the case is all new
to him. He has been consulting with
Congressman w. E. Tuttle in an effort
to Mlve the girls replaced.

But we don't get up that early,

Mayor Fordyce then informed news

not have reporters approaching him

|QU|Z SERVANTS IN
$4,000 ROBBERY

PLAINFIELD, Jan. 5.-The police
obtained no clue to the thieves who
on Saturday night took jewelry and
diamonds valued at $4,000 from the
home of former State Senator Ernest
r. Alderman. at West Eighth and
Liberty streets, but overlooked a
stamp collection which. at the last
international exhibition, won prize
for being second best in the world
Police Chief Kelly today questioned
the servants, but the investigation led
to naught.
The operation of the robbers was
confined to one room on the second
floor of the house. The family was at
dinner at the time and as the storm
of Saturday night was laundering
outside their work was unnoticed I'M
til Mr.. Ackerman's attention was at
tracted by the slamming of doob'
and sounds of footsteps. When he
went to the telephone to notify the
police the robbers escaped.
An investigation showed that some
one had climbed a column on the
front porch, leaving black marks.
There were also footprints and tracks
of automobile wheels about the house.
Mr.. Alderman thinks there were at
least three men in the party. A
neighbor told him yesterday that
three suspicious looking characters
were lettering about the vicinity a
few days ago.
The robbery was committed during
severe storm.
Mr.. Alderman has the second best
collection of stamps in the world, and
he is congratulating himself that his
prize winning collection is in a safe
deposit vault. These stamps. valued
at thousands of dollars, were col
lected by Mr.. Alderman on his round
the world trips. Mr., AclSernan is
