Brest. - Ninety-eight persons are
missing and 242 were saved of those
who were on board the British steam

the French steamer Seine, according
TO the latest official figures.
Among those missing are two Amer.

dition to those brought here, may

from the scene and replied to the dis
tress signals with the assurance that

q According to the Egypt's purser,
the ship floated only about 20 minutes
after her plates were crushed in by
the Seine. The Egypt, he declared,
was not moving at the time Of the ac-
cident, lying to, on account Of the
dense fog and sounding her siren con
~tinuously.
Mrs. Sibley and Miss Boyer were

BANDITS TAKE MAIL
SACKS AT CANTON
MASKED MEN LOOT DEPOT ON
MILWAUKEE LINE.
FORCE OPERATORS TO FLOOR
Robbers Make Their Escape In an
AutomobiIe-LittIe Of Value In
T. Sacks, Belief.

Canton, s. D.-Two masked men en-
tered the Milwaukee railroad station
here, forced two telegraph operators
to lie down on the floor and then
fled with three bags OF registered
mail and SIT in cash taken from he
money drawer.
Operators L. A. Sandquist and A. G.
Hoff were the only occupants OF the
station building at the time the rob
bers entered. Sandquist was taking
a dispatch over the telephone. Hoff
was engaged in reading an evening
newspaper when the masked men APP
peared in the doorway with drawn
revolvers.
The operators were ordered to lie
face down on the floor. They COM
piled with the demand, but not fully
comprehending the situation made an
attempt to rise, which was foiled by
the bandits.
While one robber "jimmied" open
the cash drawer, his companion OBJ
tanned the mail sacks, then both made
their escape without speaking a word.
According to a description given by
the operators the men were Of med
ium height aid dressed in working
clothes. One wore a black mask
while the other covered the lower
part of his face with a blue handker'
chief.
The robbers are thought to have
made their escape in an automobile
which was seen to leave the vicinity
of the station soon after the holdup.
The presence of the mail sacks in
the operators room is explained by
the fact that the station is a transfer
point. Had the bandits come a few
minutes later they would have OBJ.
tanned three more sacks Of mail
which were due.
The cash drawer which was rifled
contained the money used at the
ticket window.
The contents Of the stolen sacks
are thought not to have been of par.
ticular monetary value.

MANY CROOKS ARE FOUND
IN THE u. S. MAIL SERVICE
Nearly Two Million Involved In
Thefts Extending Over the Last
Six Months.

Washington, ID. C.-Discovery
through finger printing that 40 of
the 40 employees Of the registry di'
vision Of the New York postoffice had
criminal records was reported to
President Harding by Acting Post
master General Bartlett upon his re-
turn from an investigation Of the
New York postoffice.
All of the 40 have been dropped
from the service, Mr.. Bartlett said.
The acting postmaster general told
the president the discovery came
during his inquiry into the arrest of
seven employees of the New York
office, whose arrest, postal officials
assert, cleared up postal robberies eX-
tending over the last six months and
involving nearly $4,000, coo. The
arrests also are said to have thwarted
a gigantic robbery planned in the
registry division.
Mr.. Bartlett declared that the men
arrested had admitted that they had
secured employment in the registry
division for the purpose of robbing
the mails.
Mr.. Bartlett said he had ordered
that all of the $4,000 employees of the
New York office be required to have
finger print impressions made. Both
Postmaster Morgan and himself, he
added, "were finger printed" and he
was of the opinion that such a step
would be of benefit to the service

protecting the great bulk of honest
emra5yes.
