MORE LIGHT ON
STRANGE AFFAIR

A little more light was thrown today
on the strange case Of frank E. Burns,
against whose name a criminal charge
was erased by the state upon informa-
tion that he had died. and who has come
to life in Syracuse, n. Y.
Chief of Police Peter Austgen may
be surprised to learn that Burns had
been let out of the Crown Point Jail on
a small bond and was supposed to have
died in Chicago and not at the Hub.
Nevertheless the fact remains that he
was enormously reported dead, accord
ing to the Bertillon system and the &C
curate International Bureau of Identi-
fication.
In giving out the story yesterday
Chief Austgen stated that he had been
informed by Prosecutor Patterson that
Burns, alleged by the police TO have
been caught red-handed as a dip, had
died in the county jail" and the case
had been dismissed. The prosecutor
states that tbs is a mistake and that
instead he merely said to the chief that
Burns had died and did not stipulate
that the death took place in jail.
Prosecutor Patterson stated that the
death of Burns had been reported t'
him by w. J. McAleer. the latter's at
torney. Attorney McAleer made this

country to Sandry as he watched him
in the days that followed. He spoke

Better Than Postage Stamps.


Several American firms with unus-
ually heavy mailings use a postage
meter which, instead of affixing the
usual postage stamps on mail matter,
makes an impression in the upper
right-hand corner The new postal
meter performs several tasks, such al
sealing, stamping, facing and counting
approximately $50 pieces of mail mat
ter minute. The envelopes. unsealed
and unstamped. are placed In a COM
partment of the machine much in the
same manner as they would be placed
in box, the mechanism handling the
envelopes automatically from that
point. The stamping mechanism not
only makes an impression on the en-
velopes, but also counts, the numbers
appearing in descending serial on
top of the stamping meter. The meter
is SO made that its mechanism can
only be adjusted by the post office au-
thorities, who set 1t for the number
Of impressions the user has paid for.
When that number Of impressions 10
exhausted, the meter automatically
locks.
