Grover Clevelond Bergdoll, wealthy
Philadelphia draft evader, is diplo-

Of the state department, Secretary
Weeks says in a letter to Senator
Capper, of Kansas, made public by

The secretary added that the war
department would"use every effort
to have Bergdoll returned. to the Gus

authorities"
State department officers refused

government had been asked to ex-
tradite Bergdoll for violation Of
Canadian passport regulations when
he departed from that country for
Germany.
The war secretary il his letter to
Senator Capper disclosed that as soon
as it was ascertained that Bergdoll

Rhine, requested the authorities Of the
Baden government, where Bergdoll
had sought refuge, to return him to

POsTsIAsTER-GEN TO
HALT MAIL R0BBERIEs

During h0ldups, terrorizing Of de-
fenseless postal clerks ard the steal
ing Of thousand Of dollars worth of
valuable mail are going to be things
Of the past, Postmaster General viii
III. Hays declared in a statement in
which he sounded warning that
'these criminals will be handled as
they were in the old Wells Fargo
days in the West
Immediate arming of all postal
employees engaged in handling valu-
able mail and the offering Of a re-
ward Of $4,000 to any person who
brings in a mail robber were an
nounced as the first steps in the
governments plan to stop the steal
ing Of mail
The postmaster generals decision
that "these robberies must stop and
stop nov" came after a conference
with number Of postoffiee inspec-
tors Saturday, and it is understood
that they placed before him not only
to- recommendations, but conf
Dental reports Of all robberies which
have occurred during the past two
years.
1--WE are going to use every power
available to stop these robberies,"
Postmastef-General Hays said mo
matter how drastic the method is if
it will be effective we will nut it into
practice. The West knows how to
handle these criminals, just as they
used to in the old Wells-Favgo davs".
Numerous mail robberies during
the past two years have caused the
postoffice department and its corps
Of inspectors great concern, and
when Postmaster General Hays took
office one Of the problems which con-
fronted him was a method Of bring
ing To an Immediate halt a nation
wide series Of daring robberies, which
had kept unarmed postal employees
iii constant fear Of their lives.
Employees on mail trains have, in
some instances, been armed, but reg
ulati0ns Of the postoffice department.
have not permitted the adequate pro-
lection Of employees in local postof-
fices and substations. 1t IS at these
places, according to records Of more
recent. robberies, that the majority
of mail holdurs have been committed.
Officials Of the postoffice depart
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1921-04-14

ment and Of the department Of JUS
tice, who have investigated many Of
these robberies, have expressed the
belief that some Of them were com
mitted By persons who had ainside
information gained, it is believed,
by members Of well organized gangs
who had obtained positions Of trust
In the postal service.
The substantial reward now offer
ed by the postmaster general for the
arrest Of holdup man is believed in
official quarters to be an important
step in the breaking up Of these
gangs.
The order Of the department is as
follows.
"To any postal employee or other
person who brings in mail robber
the postoffice department will pay a
reward of not exceeding $4,000. All
essential postal employees will be
fully armed, and every man is expect
ed to uphold the honor of the ser
vice"

MODERN STEEL PACKET FOR
MEMPHIS-ST. LOUIS TRADE

The Memphis, Helena & Rosedale
Packet Company, better known as
the Adams Line, has purchased from
James Rees & Sons, of Pittsburg, a
new steel hull steamboat that will be
completed in the next few weeks and
sent to Memphis. Information con-
corning the purchase came from
Pittsburgh and states that the
steamer viii be completely equipped
with the most modern boat machin-
cry now in the market.
The new steamer is $50 feet long
and 33 feet wide. She has a stern
wheel and is equipped with three boil
ers and high-pressure engines,
151kx6 feet. She has state room ca
pacity for 100 passengers.
It is probable that the new boat
will be placed in the Memphis and
st. Louis trade, carving passengers
in the summer months and practic-
ally nothing but freight in winter.

LOST CAUSE SEAL

The whereabouts Of the official
seal Of the Confederaey, an unsolved
mystery for more than half cen
fury, probably will remain ever I'M
unknown. James Jones, aged negro
employe in the senate office building,
said to be the only person with a
knowledge of where the seal was
buried, died Friday without disclos-
ing the secret.
Jones was serving as a servant of
Jefferson Davis, president Of the
Confederacy, when the Confederate
leader was captured. AS the story

OPERATION REMOVES
BULLET FROM BRAIN
RAREST OPERATION KNOWN TO
SURGERY is SUCCESS
Remarkable Effort Made to Cure
Case of Insanity Of Prisoner
Operation Lasted One Hour and
Patient Soon Regained Conscious
ness-A Second Bullet Still Re-
mains on the Brain.

One of the rarest operations
known to medical science, that of re-
moving a bullet from the brain-was
successfully accomplished some days
ago in the Sing Sing prison hospital.
A remarkable feature of the opera
tion was that DR.. William L. Chap
man, of Brooklyn, who performed the
work, is himself an invalid and was
wheeled to the operating table in a
chair, propped in which he worked on
the patient
The operation was an attempt to
cure insanity in Roman Leondowski,
prisoner there. The presence Of
two bullets in the patients brain was
discovered by X-ray examination, the
first n e 10 be removed being i'm
bedded almost two inches, while the
other was lodged behind the right
ear When the first bullet had been
extracted DR. Chapman endeavored
to remove the other, which, however,
was found to be lodged solidly in the
tissue. After a consultation Of sew
eral physicians in attendance, it was
decided not to touch it. The incision
then was closed and the patient re-
gained consciousness.
The full operation lasted one hour.
A piece Of skull about the size Of a
silver dime first was removed and
into the aperture DR.. Chapman in
serted his index finger gently and
slowly, being extremely careful not
to rupture the brain tissue or draw
blood Deeper and deeper, with al
most painful slowness, the surgeon
probed until his finger came in con-
tact with the bullet. The more deli
cate task of working the bullet
upward now confronted the invalid
surgeon, but he slowly worked his
finger around and under the object,
gradually forcing it through the It's
sue until it touched the side of the
skull, and then half lifted, half
pushed, it along the wall until it
reached the opening, where it was
taken out with forceps. Thirty
minutes later DR.. Chapman made
another incision to remove the second
bullet. This found in less time than
the first, but was coated with tissue,
which would have had to be broken
to remove it. To do so, it was said,
presented the danger of scar form
ing on the tissue, which would be
worse, perhans, than if the bullet had
remained. DR.. Chapman decided to
leave it where it was.
