Offers Reward of $4,000

Rapidly Overtaking
Burglaries in Point of Number

Post office inspectors divide the criminal
attacks upon the mails and the post office
service into two general classes. burglares
and holdups. The records of the department
show that in the past burglaries have been
more frequent than holdups, though with
the present unusual situation the two classes
of crime are now found with practically the
same frequency.
The post office burglar is, a general
rule a professional crminal-ordnarily one
who has been in prison. He works at night
and by stealth, entering a post office and
blowing open the safe with nitroglycerine or
dynamite His job is a technical one. He
must know the use OF explosives, must be
able to judge the amount necessary for his
purpose and must be careful to see that the
charge is placed that ii will accomplish
the desired result without unduly wrecking
the establishment or making more noise than
is absolutely necessary.
Many cracksmen manufacture their own
nitroglycerine finding it easier TO conceal
their trail in that way than If they bought
the explosive. Others use the acetyene lamp
to cut their way into the strong box, and
though this method is less dangerous In
some respects II requires a considerable
knowledge of the working Of iron and steel.
There are on record number of instances
of cracksmen being killed by the ignorant or
careless handling of the explosives.
