rONFESSES LOOTING OF MILLION
DOLLAR MAIL POUCH.

Wilmington, Del, January ia
further hearing will be given before
United States Commissioner Mehaffy
CoCay. in the mail theft case, in which
100000 in securities disappeared
from a mail pouch while being trans
ported on a mail wagon in this city
on Christmas eve. Albert Johnson,
one of the colored drivers of the mail
wagon, has confessed to completely in
the robbery and charges that the 9TH
er driver, Earl Johnson, also colored,
planned the footing.
The disappearance of the million
dollar mail pouch created a sensation
on Christmas Day. Stock certificates
to the amount of full million were
contained in the pouch. The John
sons, who are not related, were en-
ployed as extra drivers during the
Christmas rush. When they failed to
deliver the full number OF pouches,
Postmaster English was notified. The
police and the postofflce inspectors got
busy. The rified mail pouch was
found under the seat of the wagon.
1t had been slit by knife and the
packages had been taken. From all
appearances the robbers had informa-
ton as to which pouch contained the
securities, for it was not thought a
mere coincidence that the robbers Sc
lected that particular mail pouch.
Whether any other parties have, been
implicated by the negroes is the Ques-
ton that makes today's hearing Of in
terest.

ment managers from many sections
have come to the convention, as an in
novation in industrial conferences. In
Boston. Philadelphia, and New York,

achieved in the study of selection as a
more efficient method than the hit or

centers in this experiment and it win

Commissioner Thomas Riggs re turned Wednesday from his first trip of the season to Nenana. He reports that things are getting along the construction camp under the circumstances, but that the circum stances are not very conducive at the present time to swift work.
 The main obstacle seems to be the lack of material and tools to work with All of the necessities for early work had been expected to come in from the Outside with the first load of freight, but work is being considerably hampered by req son of their failure to arrive. Just whose the fault is cannot be stated but there is a hitch somewhere.
 Commissioner Riggs is of the opini on that the first sale of lots at Ne ma will take place some time in August He is not prepared to state definitely however, the date of the sale until the arrival here of A.
