! POSTOFFICE LOOTED
I
Robbers Secure Over $74,C03 In
Stamps in Windy City.
i A SUCCESSFUL TUNNELING ACT
Days of Patient Toil Brought Rich
Success to Thieves—Vast For
tune in One Vault Was For
tunately Overlooked.
A sensational robbery, which net
ted the perpetrators $74,610 in stamps,
was discovered in Chicago Monday
morning when the wholesale stamp de
partment of the postoffice was opened
for business.
A rapid investigation developed the
fact that the burglars had crawled un
der the flooring for abtlttt 800 feet,
bored a hole in the bottom of tile vault,
secured the stamps and escaped, carry
ing their booty in a wagon.
The work of forcing atl entrance to
the vault hdd evidently been going
forward with the greatest patience for
many days. It is believed, however,
that the Intention of the thieves had
been to enter the cashier’s vault, in
which there was $35,000 in money and
stamps valued at hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. The bottom of tile
vault is of steel, half an inch thick. In
this ninety 7-inch holes were ltored
until a space 18 Inches square, just ;
enough to allow the entrance of a
man's body, had been sb tVctlkchcd
that it war possible to take out the
whole plate with little difficulty. A
dry goods box stood over the tide thus
made and concealed the work of the
robbers while it was in progress. When
discovered Monday the finger marks
of one of the burglars was still dis
cernible on the dust of the box, which
he had pushed to one side.
So carefully had the job been plan
ned that men working in other parts
ot the building had not the slightest
inkling of the daring robbery worked
almost under their noses.
The robhers drove up to the south
east corner of the postofllce building
in a wagon, the tracks of which could
he seen plainly Monday. The build
ing is a temporary affair, ann the men
had only to open a little door to admit
themselves under the flooring To
reach the vault it was necessary to
crawl about 390 feet over odds and
ends of boards which littered the way.
The route evidently had been carefully
studied, for a detective who went un
der the place without knowledge wa
neaily overcome by foul odors before
assistance could reach him.
Having secured their plunder, the
robbers loaded it into the wagon
drove across a vacant lot and turned
into Wabash avenue In front of the art
building.
Of the $74,fil0 in stamps taken $4,
712 were in “postage due” stamps and
$2,000 in special delivery stamps. So
the convertible stamps amounted to
$67,??8, but cf these $4,828 were Pan
American stamps of 8 and 10 cents de
nominations.
F. O. Spalding, ehier clerk of the
wholesale stamp department, discov
ered the rouoery whpn he opened the
vault at 7:50 o’clock. The safe had
been locked, with its contents appa
rently secure, at o p. m. Saturday. Mr.
Spalding notified Postoffice Inspector
Stuart, who hurried from nis home and
immediately began an investigation,
assisted by his deputies and a squad of
detectives, After completing the
search Inspector Staurt said;
“It v.as the largest stamp robbery
ever committed in the history o? the
postal service in this country. To get
to the vault the men dug through the
hrirk foundation wall, and 10 b feet or
so further on they encountered an
other wall, and this also they dug
through. On the way they met with a
number of pipes, and as the floor is
but two feet and in some places 3 feet
above the ground, they tunneled under
the pipes. Their who’.a course is plain
ly marked in this way.''

President Appoints George Koester, of
Columbia, Internal Revenue Col
lector for Sbbth Carolina.
The president Monday appointed
George K. Koester collector of Inter
nal revenue for the district of South
Carolina, to succeed W. L. Webster,
deceased. The appointment was an
nounced shortly before the departure
of the president for New Haven, Conn.
With the appointment the following
statement was issued:
"Mr. Koester is a prominent gold
democrat, and has been recommended
for the position by a large number of
influential business men and represen
tative citizens not only of South Caro
lina, but of North Carolina and else
where."
The appointment of Mr. Koester ter
minates a controversy which began
upon Mr. Roosevelt’s a.vessioh to the
presidency. It was in conhectloh with
this appointment and that of ex-Oov
ernor Jones to a federal judgeship In
Alabama that the president announced
that his policy In regard to southern
appointments w-juld be to name suita
ble republicans if they could he found,
and if not. to appoint democrats. Mr.
Blalock, who lias been long identified
with the republican party in South
Carolina, at first was understood to tie
slated for this position, lint the presi
dent later decided not to appoint him.
Subsequently Senator Mcl.anrln,
whom the president consulted about
the matter, suggested the name of Mr.
Koester. who is known ill the state as
an independent democrat. The presi
dent sent for Mr. Koester and had a
personal Interview with him Saturday
evening.
Was a Surprise.
The appointment of George It. Koes
ter as collector of internal revenue
fell as a bolt from a cloudless sky at
Columbia, 3. (!., Monday evening. Re
publicans are dumbfounded. Mcl.nu
rin’s supporters not delighted, and Me
Laurin’s opponents rather pleased.
Koester is originally from Charles
ton. He went to Columbia as a local
reporter for The Register (luring the
time that it supported Tillman; laid
he became editor of the paper and de
fended McLaUrtfl. Since then the sen
ator has beet) his cot distent friend,
and enabled him to gel control of The
Evening Record. This 1ms supported
McLaurln ardently.
STREET DUEL IN WACO.
An Ex-Sheriff and His Son Instantly
Killed By Physician and Step-Son.
One of the fiercest street, duels that

It is said ttiat had feelings had ex
lsted between the men for some time
over family affairs, and trouble had
been expected as a result.
The parties met by chance in the
Turf saloon, and young Harris, it is al
leged, opened fire with a shotgun on
Lovelace over his (Harris') father's
shoulder, without effect. Lovelace ini
mtdiately returned the fire with a re
volver, killing young Harris almost
instantly. Lovelace then turned his
revolver on the elder Harris, who like
wise was killed.
Lovelace and Reynolds were both
uninjured. They immediately gave
themselves up, and were taken to the
county jail and locked up to await the
action of the grand Jury, which Is now
in session.
W. T. Harris, Hr., was for six years
sheriff of the county, and made an ex
( client reputation in that capacity. At
the time of his death he was engaged
In faitiling and agricultural
He leaves a wife and two daughters,
The younger Harris, ,who was un
married, was for a number of years
connected with the Provident, national
bank of Waco, but more recently with
the Cotton Beit railroad.
Dr. Lovelace Is a practicing physi
cian, while Reynolds Is a farmer. Tin
principals were all related In some dc
gree by marriage.
