FIND 100000
OF MAIL LOOT
Inspectors in Baltimore
Arrest Suspect in N. Y.
Ferry Robbery.
Try Telegraph to Ts Trisun.

Baltimore, April 21.-By the merest
chance Federal postal inspectors ar
rested here to-day a man who was
carrying in a satchel 100000 worth Of
the securities stolen from mail pouches
on a ferryboat between Jersey City
and New York City last February.
The prisoner, who was taken on sus-
picion of having committed another
crime, said he was +. J. Quigley, of
New York. He came here on train
which left New York this morning.
A man giving the name of George
Wendall, who spoke to Quigley. Is
held with him at the central police
station.
The arrest of Quigley was one Of
the most remarkable captures in the
history Of the postofiice Department
and was the elimination OF a series OF
seemingly accidental circumstances
which are so mystifying as to sugges.
some supernatural influence working
TO bring about the recovery OF the
stolen securities
John c. Koons, Chief postoffce In
spector, was in Baltimore to-day to
consult with Postofhce inspectors
about some bogus money orders which
were issued in st. Louis. After the
conference the local officials accom-
panied Chief Inspector Koons to the
Union Station, where he intended -
take a train for Washington the SAME
train on which Quigley and Wenda.l
arrived here.
Arrested "on Suspicion.'
As the incoming passengers ascended
the stairs Quigley was quite conspicu-
Gus. and there was something about his
appearance which. while II did not tally
with the man wanted for money order
frauds IN st. LOUIS, suggested TO the
inspectors that he might be the man,
and they decided TO arrest him. lie
was speaking TO Wendall. who is ap-
parently about thirty years old. Quig-
ley IS about thirty-siN.
Quigley was searched and the re-
volyer was taken from him. His satchel
was locked. but when opened the in
spectors we're ast0unded to find that
it contained about 100000 worth OF
the securities sent By Baltimore banks
on the way from Jersey City to New
York.
Qulgley said that hc lived in New
York. but belonged in Ridgeiield Park,
y. j.
Denies Owning Satchel.
When asked by Inspector koons 10
explain the presence Of the securities,
Quigley said he could not.
"I'U be honest with you" the pris
oner asserted. THE satchel is not
mine A lady and gentleman left It on
the train when they got out at Phila-
delphia. intended TO leave it where
it could be returned to them
Among the securities recovered were
New York Central, Atlantic Coast Line,
Baltimore e. Ohio Railroad and Bothle-
hem Steel stocks and a sight Graft for
S3S 900 on a New York concern, to
which certain stock is attached. Many
Of the securities are negotiable.

Paris, April 21.-The Allies hour is
at hand. All the anxiety and pessim-
ism of the past few months has been
swept away by the Russian landing at
Marseiles. The date of the Allied
grand offensive, which the arrival of
the Cars troops is universally taken
to forcshadow, is now the sole and alb
sorbing topic.
May has generally been assumed
as the time when the Allies would set
their armies in motion. As far as
preparations go, all is nearly ready. 1t
is no secret that the British troops in
France have been eager to begin for
weeks. In Marck General Haig Of

Chicago. April 21.--That long drawn
ont litigation case of Bacon vs..
Shakespeare which for generations
has cluttered up the literary courts of
the world, was settled to-day by Cook
County Court in Chancery. when Judge
Richard S. Tuthill awarded the YER
dict TO Bacon. Bacon, he rs convinced,
wrot everything that has been cred
tied to Shakespeare.
Thus all the joy has been taken out
Of the much-advertised Shakespeare
tercentenary. Judge Tuthill solemnly
decides it ought TO be a Bacon, not a
Shakespeare, celebration. and that no
tedrs for William need be wasted to-
morrow. the three hundredth anniver-
ssrv Of his death.
"The court finds" he says, that Ge
claims OF Francis Bacon that he is the
author Of the works of Shakespeare
and the facts and circumstances in the
real bibliography of the controversy
over the question or authority ana the
proofs submitted convince the court
that Francis Bacon is the author"

The decision was reached after ex-

others from publishing a book on the
