DESTROY 100000
BONDS TO AVOID

Especial to the Tribune)

NOpecldl 10 the 1rlDune)
New York, Sept PA Negro who
described himself as Thaddeus Joseph
Van Buckley Rainbow Starkey, 25
years old, of 416 West Thirty-sixth
street, was held in $4,000 bail for the
action. of the federal grand jury re-
Gently by United States Commissioner
Hitchcock on charges alleging the
theft of $3.50 worth of postage stamps.
Russell P. Allen, a postoffice inspec-
tor, who arrested Starkey, said the
Negro made statement which clears
up the mysterious disappearance of
100000 worth Of railroad securities
in the mails late in July.
A mail pouch containing the securi-
ties was stolen from the General
postoffice, Seventh avenue and Thirty
third street, on July 81, according to
the inspector, by James Johnson, 25,
of 222 West Twenty-ninth street, a
brother-in-law of Starkey. The pouch
was turned over to Starkey, he said,
and when the Negroes discovered
what it contained they set the bonds
afire, fearing that if they tried to
negotiate them they would be ar
rested.
The bonds were being shipped to
Paine, Webber & Co., brokers, of %
Broad street, by a Milwaukee, Wis,
banking house when they disappeared.
This theft was one of a series that
had occurred at the General postoffice
during July. the inspector said, and a
squad of postoffice inspectors was
assigned to watch for the thieves. All
the wagons and trucks were watched,
but still pouches continued to disap.
pear. Johnson was the driver of one
of these wagons.
A few days later the police Of New
Rochelle notified the postoffice au-
thorities that two empty mail pouches
had been found floating in a lake in
Westchester township. Mr.. Allen hur-
ried to New Rochelle and identified
the pouches. he said, as ones that
had been given to Johnson for de-
livery. The arrest of the Negro fol-
lowed. A large quantity of postage
stamps which had been sent to the
College branch of the postoffice in
Harlem were found on Johnson, the
inspector declared.
Starkey, in his statement to Mr..
Allen, said the pouches found in the
| New Rochelle lake had been given to
| him by Johnson to take to the home
of the latter's father in that city. In
stead of taking the pouches there, the
| inspector quoted the Negro as saying
he waited for Johnson at the railroad
station and the two went into the
woods. When the pouches had been
emptied the Negroes threw them into
the lake, where they were found later
by the police.
Mr.. Allen said Starkey had a large
number of stolen postage stamps in
his pockets when arrested. The Negro
was taken to the office of Garret w.
Cotter, assistant United States at
torney, and was questioned for sew
eral hours. Mr.. Cotter said that the
evidence in the stamp and bond thefts
would be presented to the federal
grand jury.

the man. Any way, it was generally
agreed that Rev johnson was a brave
man to make the attempt Most men
wouldn't have dared attempt such a
thing. Owing to the fact that his at
torney didn't have ghost of chance,
Judge Harvey told the defendant that
he would fine him only SIPS.
The tacky party a few nights ago
was scream. Those in the contest
were: Miss Totin, Mrs. Suddoth, Mrs.
Perkins, Mrs Ernest Jordan and Mr..
Staten. The judges were three blind
men, and so Mr.. Staten won the prize.
Had there been a woman among the
judges, Miss Tobin would have won
first prize. Miss Naomi Tabron won
first prize in the beauty corner con-
test. Her votes totaled S7.74, and
Miss Willie Jones' votes totaled $3.50.
Miss Tabron won by the narrow mar
gin of "a cents.
Miss Tobin's name should have ap-
peared on the program for the first
night as she recited beautifully. We
desire to thank all participants as well
as the general public for helping to
make the affair such a wonderful sue

Judging from reports from druggists

the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root Is

its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one OF the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, IN
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
80 many applicants fer insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is So
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
