$50 on
Stolen Package Of
Registered Mail
But Huge Amount Looted
From Train in Bluffs Prob
ably Covered by Insur-
ance, Say Bankers.

Fifty dollars is the maximum
amount the United States govern
ment will pay for any, single pack
age of registered mail which may be
lost or stolen enroute from the send
er to the consignee.
This regulation stands for the loot
which was stolen in the daring rob-
berry of the registered mail car on the
Burlington railroad between the
Union Pacific transfer and the city
passenger station in Council Bluffs
last Saturday night
The loot, according to federal
agents now engaged in running
down the robbers and missing secur-
ities, was comprised chiefly of Lib
erty bonds and currency being. sent
from federal reserve bank in Cal
ifornia to another in Washington,
D. c.
Sent in Packages.
Estimates of the loot taken have
been given at $3,500,000. The guar
antee of the government on this mail
probably will not cover more than
10 per cent OF this.
The currency, it has been learned,
was sent in packages in the manner
in which banks handle their cur-
rency. On each of these packages
$50 will be all the government will
have to make good. .
The senders of this registered mail
which was stolen undoubtedly had
the shipment heavily insured by pri-
vate insurance companies. however,
according to w. M. Coble, post
office inspector, who was assigned
to the robbery case from Omaha
yesterday noon on orders direct
from Washington.
Will Not Lose a Cent.
"The added cost CT the registered
mail fee and premiums Of private in
surance companies would not equal
the cost of sending by express" he
declared. Because of this, the
senders shipped the consignment by
registered mail instead of by cx-
press.
The extent of the loss through the
robbery and the per cent OF this
covered by insurance, probably will
not be revealed for six months, he
said.
Bankers and large corporations,
accustomed to shipping money and
currency, probably will not lose a
cent as the result Of the robbery, ac-
cording to F. w. Thomas, vice
president Of the First National bank
of Omaha.

We have many people whose brains
are constantly on the alert, who see

There is always some condition in

In all probability Henery Ford has

is no farm work to be done, and shut
them down in the summer when the
men are needed on the forms.

It could be done in this community
as well as any other place.
We have the brains necessary to or

the capital required for such a purpose.
