KANSAS IMMUNE
Bank and POStOffice RObber1eS
Show Big Decrease.
Postmaster General Report Re.
cords Only Five Burglaries.

Washington, D. c.. April 15.-Havs
the yeggmen passed up Kansas
This question is being asked by botf
the treasury and postoffice depart
ments.
Kansas. as it is we'll known. has
been rich particularly for the past M
teen years Weather has been mos
favorable all these years. resulting IN
bumper crops of wheat, corn and oth-
er grain Naturally, her banks have
bulged with deposits, and incidentally
Uncle Sans postoffices in the state
have been doing a thrifty business
This thrifty condition has attracted
the professional safe-crackers to IN
wade the Sunf1ower state during the
past number of years in a field which
they considered soft pickings."
During these years past more banks
and more postoffices have been
robbed annually in Kansas than any
other state in the middle west. But,
while Kansas continues to prosper
there seems to be a lull in bank and
postal robberies in the state.
During the past year there were out
comparatively few bank robberies, and
far less robberies of postoffices.
Where in past years there were sew
eral hundred postoffice robber1es, last
year there were only five. There is
only one answer the postal authori-
ties can offer, and that is this-either
the yeggs have passed up" the state,
or that the postmasters are more care
full with their funds.
In the annual statement of the
postmaster general, just issued, 1T is
shown that only ten postoffices suf-
fered loss in one way or the other last
year The losses suffered were in
the cases of five burglaries. three by
fire one in the transit of mail. and
one by failure of a bank which con-
tanned the deposits of a postoffice.
The following is a detail of the adj

DEER IN HIS GARDEN.
Kansas Ex-Chief Justice Has Trouble
With Animals on Florida Farm.

West Palm Beach, Fla, April IS
Judge Rightmyer, former Chief JUS
tice of the state of Kansas, fought the
grasshoppers there in the early days
but in Florida he has new pioneer
obstacles to overcome.
On his farm six miles west of Palm
City he planted some red clover and
the quail and wild turkey got it seed
and all.
His sweet potatoes were especially
tasteful to wild deer in their green
growing stage. They ate up every
vine he had.
One day he saw them, (when he did
not have a gum, and the herd con-
sisted of two fawn, one two-year-old
deer and a buck and doe.
He is, however, sportsman enough
to look on the right side of the mat
ter so the deer still live.

Cotton Can Go Forward.

London, April 15.-The British gov
erEment decided against placing cot
ton on the contraband list. A ques-
ton was asked in the house of COM
mons this afternoon on this subject,
and Neil Primrose, under secretary of
foreign affairs, on behalf of the for
eign office replied that after careful
consideration it had been found that
the military advantages to be gained
by declaring cotton contraband were
insufficient to render such a step ex-
pedient.
