Secret servlco Iaen from Washington, with local postal Itospectors nnd police, are searching tho icuy ana suburbs for a clue to the most Idirlnc postal robbery New Torlc has had In years. B' Four registered mall pouches were rifled shortly after 3 o'clock Saturday morning on a. Jersey Central ferryboat nd close to $1,000,000 In cash stolen. The pouches were removed from an auto mall truck on the ferryboat and then re placed. A driver and two postal messen. rtrs seated on the front of the truck inew nothing of the robbery until the Pouches were opened In the registered mill division of tho new postofllce, at JUi avenue and 33d street. " A pouch containing several hundred thousands of dollars for New York banks sTras overlooked. It was shipped from the Treasury Department in Washington. iThls, Inspectors declare, was the motive for the robbery. T'The mall motortruck met the 3:62 train at the station of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad In New Jersey to carry the early nail from the South to Manhattan. Thirty bags of first-class mall, togethor with the six registered bags, were thrown Into the Iron-meshed cage of the first truck. The doors were locked with the regulation lock placed on all wagons and mall pouohes. The Inspectors are puzzled to under stand how the robbers managed to un lock the door and take the four pouches unnoticed by any one. Whether they took the bags oft at the ferry entrance or dropped them Into a boat dragged at the ferry's side the Inspectors are unable to fuess, although It was said that It would lave been almost Impossible for them to irop bags into boats without attracting attention of the attendants. They admit t would be equally difficult for them to rry striped canvas United States mall 'ags past the ferry entrance and escape notice. There were no marks on any part of he wire screen or the .sate to Indicate hat the robbers had used force to break "to the cage. It Is believed that the andlta either had found a key or that hey had been able to get one from a dov rnroent employo to make a duplicate.

Mr. Jnmcs received tho Order of Merit from King George nt tho distribution of birthday honors In January of this year.

Ho wanted to meet Dr. Howard A. Kelly, fumous as a surgeon nnd radium operator, nnd also ns an antlvlco crusader and pro hibition advocate. Ho was taken to the hospital and tho surgeon sent word to tho Salvationist to como Into the clinic. "Billy" shied when told ho must don sterilized wliito garments, but ho did, and so nlso did "Ma." Then, amid tho odor of ether nnd over the body of a woman, "Billy" met Doctor Kelly. "Glud to seo you, Mr. Sunday," said tho surgeon cheerily. Sunday s.ilo: "I guess I've been here long enough.

"When a. boy comes to your homo with a telegram, you novcr notice the boy or tho clothes ho nenrs," he said. "All you are eager for Is tho message. So today, don't condemn the messenger of Christ. Don't even ace him, but get his message. "Because the nrencber. the deacon or tho church members moy not bo all that you think they should be.

Chrlstlnns should not think of them selves In their struggle In life, but should think of saving men nnd women who nre lost to salvation, wns another nppcal ho mnde for personal work. And to lllustrato tho need of self-sacrifice, Mr. Kellerman told a thrilling story of bow two boys rescued passengers nnd crow from a wrecked ship which had been dashed to pieces on the rocks off tho coast of Mnlno. Tho men looked on nnd. becauso of fenr for their own safety, wcro allow ing tho wnves to swnllow up tho unfor tunate humans, but tho boys, forgetting tholr own dnngcr nnd thinking of tboso In distress, flashed out of tho crowd and fought with tho wild sea In a llttlo boat nnd grasped tho men nnd women from tho Jnws of denth.
