.2,918 CONVICTED
IN MAIL FRAUDS
1873 Expenditures of Office
$1,936,196, With ST.
579,098 Collections.

The Postal Inspection Service got
convictions in 97.97 per cent of the
cases brought to trial in the fiscal
year 1885, it was shown today when
the annual report was made public.
In all, there we're 2.91S convictions in
the IL months ended June 30. last.
There were 1904 arrests made, and
3,130 indictments returned. This
seeming discrepancy between the ratio
of convictions to the number of ap-
prehensions and indictments, is due,
Of course, to the fact that many of
the cases had not gone into court
when the report was tabulated.
It was shown too, that the ONCE
practically paid for itself. its ex-
penditures of s1,936,196, exceeding by
only approximately $350,000 the ST.
579,09S collected for the mistreat-
ment Of mail or public funds or
property.
Increase In Arrests.
The arrests for the year increased
IA per cent over 1884. For mail
thefts, the advance was 36.47 and for
fraudulent use of the mails 1904 per
cent. The number Of cases were, re-
spectively, 746 and cal. The latter
was the most prevalent type of crime,
and the operations Of the inspectors
included the breaking up Of lottery
syndicate operating between Kansas
City and Chicago, that was estimated
to have netted s26, 6,oo0, 900 by the sale
Of fake tickets.
The report emphasizes however, that
not more than 80 per cent. of the in
spectors' work has to do with criminal
investigation, the rest being the
routine necessary to keep the huge
postal machine functioning.
War on Obscene Mail.
One Of the principal labors Of the
year was the relentless war on obscene
literature, which postal inspectors as
sert is one of the most serious matters
with which they have TO cope and
one that is particularly dangerous 80
far as young boys and girls are con-
cerned.
The Postal Inspection Service, for
years numbering $40 men, will be in
creased by IS under the new Treas
ury-post Office bill. The department
had justified employment Of 207 ad-
ditional, reporting as an example of
the need, that 800 fraud probes are
hanging fire. Budget and congress
sional slashes however, reduced the
figure.

SICKLE FUNERAL
TO Be TOMORROW
Services for Curio Shop
Operator Will BE Held in
Danzansky's Chapel.

Funeral services will be held tomor-

almost half a century operated a
tobacco and novelty shop at l0ll D
street.
The merchant. whose father was
Washingtons leading tobacconist dur
ing the Civil War, died Thursday in
George Washington Hospital.
Sickle was injured in an automobile
accident last Winter. His death vas
attributed to complications from the
mishap. Sickle. however. was able to
go to work until his shop was con-
demned and closed two months ago.
After that Sickle kept his room, at
GOT Sixth street Several days ago
friends became alarmed when he could
not rise from his bed. They called
an ambulance and had him taken 10
the hospital
Funeral Set for 10 AM.
The funeral services will be held at
DanzanSky. 1901 Fourteenth street,
and burial will be in Washington
Hebrew Cemetery.
Sickle long had been a familiar
figure to Washingtonians. His pres
ence behind the counters of the "old
curiosity shop was taken for granted.
When the shop was closed. many in
quiries were received by Sickle's busi-
ness neighbors.
Sickle. the oldest tobacconist In
Washington to have maintained a
shop in the same premises and under
the same management, learned the
business from his father, who sold
cigars. snuff and chewing tobacco in
the same shop during the Civil War
A bachelor, Sickle was known for
his business integrity. He paid his
bills on time and demanded a similar
consideration from those who pur-
chased from him.
Shelves Packed With Goods.
In later years, The shelves of Sickle's
shop became stocked to overfowing
with novelty and tobacco supplies
which we're hard TO sell. The accu-
mulated merchandise was stored on
the three floors Of the shop. where it
gathered dust.
An elderly clerk who had worked
for Sickle for 20 years estimated that
the shop contained at least "a mil
lion" different articles Although
Sickle never kept a fling system, he
could go to any of his shelves in the
dark and put his hands on a required
bit of merchandise.
Friends said Sickle's death was
hastened by his inability to return
to the shop where he had worked
since boyhood. He is survived by
two sisters and a nephew in New
York.
