Postoffice Inspectors Catch Foreman Collins In Trap at New York. New York, Aug. 21.—The mystery of the New England mailswhich has con- | tinued for three months with untold | losses to hundreds of persons in New England who failed to get money and other thines of valie mailed to them, may have been solved, tho postoffics authorities believe, as the result of the | springing of a trap this afternoon in the central postoffice building. Edward J. Collins, foreman M charge of the New Engiand mails, is the man who the authorities declare was caught in the trap. He was arrested. While being bombarded with hun- dreds of complaints of non-delivery of valuahle mail addressed to New Bng- landers, postoffice inspectors here were at work setting traps imdividuelly for each of the forty clerks who handle New England mails. One by one ‘the clerks were cleared of suspicion, and the investigators were nonplussed, but in order to make a clean job of it the Inspectors today decided to test Colins, the foreman. He has been in the postal serv years, and was so trusted tha the begin. at ning of the inquiry he was above sus- pleion. A special dellvery letter addressed to Burlington, Vt., containing four mark- ed bills, was mailed as a decoy today, n Col- and a watch was set on Fozem lins. The inspectors found letter disappeared when it rea lins, and they declare that the marked | money was found on his person.

When it of the senate to follow the house's lead there were fewer than thirty members | in thelr seats, there was no debate and | scarcely an audible vote. It reached the senate too late to be acted upon today. When the senate refused to overrule the president, Senators Crane and Smoot carried the news to the White house. Mr. Taft expressed his delight at the failure of the democratic plans in the upper body. No intimation was given at the White house as to wheth- er the new compromise would be ac- ceptable to the president, but senate and house leaders are confident that the measure will be signed, Many of the rapublicans contend that the ap- propriation for the commerce court should bo extended untfl June 30, the end of the fiscal year, but they are not insistent and it was the general bellef of the majority leaders in the that the contention would not be pressed.

Desired to Lie Beside Wife. Several newspapers suggest that the general's work entities him to lle in Westminster or St. Peul's cathedral, where many other of the nation’s greatest heroes of war and peace are entombed; but his wish was to be bur- fed beside his wife, and it is doubtful if the church suthorities will make the offer to place the body in the cathed- ral. - Reading of Document.

All the commissioners followed, briefly speaking of their loyalty and their indebtedness to the army, of thelr determination to support the new general as they had his father; and of their confidence that the,appoint- ment was of God and that He would sustain their second g@neral as He had the first.

ACCEPTED STATEMENT HIS NAME WAS SMITH Detective Apologized For Disturbing Him Although He Knew Schepps Well—Whitman Offers $5,000 Reward For “Lefty Louig” and “Gyp the Blood,” But Bars Police From It--Thinks Police Have Known Their Whereabouts New York, Aug. 21.—Charging that “some members” of the New York po- lice department knowingly permitted the escape of “Gyp the Blood” and | “Lefty Louie,” the missing gun men in- dicted for the murder of Herman Ros- | | enthal, District Attorney Whitman night announced the offer of a reward | of $5,000 for the capture of the fugi- | tives, who have now been at large one | month and five days. The prosecutor in a formal statement | said: Police Not Eligible to Reward. “I am now in & position to offer a reward of $5,000 for the apprehension of Louts Rosenberg or Rosenweig, alias | ‘Lefty Loule, and Harry Horowit alias ‘Gyp the Blood,' or §2,500 for the apprehension of either. reward is not offered to any members of th police department of the city of New | York, or anybody In the employ of the police department, and will not be paid any such member or to any of the po- lice department's emplo; Police Knew Their Whereabouts. “In taking this position I am actuai- | ed by no feeling of unkinde: vard the police department, but it is my be lief that if proper police work had been | done these men would now be in cus- | tody. The city of New York Is paying | millions of dollars annualy to the po- lice department, whose duty it is to detect crime and apprehend criminals, and I eannot escape the conclusion that some members of the police department have known, if they do not now know, the whereabouts of these murderers.” Money Subscribed by Citizens. The generosity of private citiz made is possible for the district : torney to offer the reward, which will probably be anmounced in circulars td be sent broadcast throughout the coun- try. The district attorney’s office is not provided with funds for this purpose, and the prosecutor has more than on expressed his surprise that no reward has been offered for the capture of the men, the only two missmg of the seven acoused of the Rosenthal murder Detectives Allowed Schepps to Escape. One of the district attorney’s reasons for suspecting that the police have al- lowed the two £un men to escape was stated tonight, when it bec that Sam Schepps in his Lo fore the grand jury yestard three detectives from New York police headquarters had recoanized him whila he was hiding in Fallsnurg, N, Y had deliberately allowed him to escape.

Schepps told the jury, it is under- stood, that he and the detectives knew each other well, and that they had ac- copted facetious declaration th he was “Mr. Smith,” with mock apolo- gles for disturbing him, and allowed him to go his way. Schepps at that time wa liviog at ease in a summer ho- tel. “Gyp the Blood” and “Lefty Louie" were believed at one time 1o have been in the same vicinity, where they are thought to have fled after spending the 24 hours immediately following the murder at a hotel at Far Rockaway. Schepbs Often at Beckers' Home. Further details of Schepps’ testimony | involving Police Lieutenant Becker, the cused instigator of the crime, were learned today. Schepps, while acting as a go-between for Rose and ker, swore that he frequently stopped the police lieutenant’s house, and nar rated conversations which he had with Becker which the district attorney be- leves points to Becker's alleged deter- mination to get rid of Rosenthal On_one occasion the witness sald that Becker sald to him while he was talking with him In the lieutenant's parlor, said: “Don’t strike a match, Bam.
