PERIODICAL STAMP
ROBBERS CAPTURED
Postofflcc Authorities' Locale a Band of
Thieves.
HAMILTON P. COLMAN ARRESTED
liuginiiiiig of the Proceedings Against
IliuCuiig That Has. Stolen 8100,000
AVorth of Stamps Veurly--Spcei-iiiciis
Taken Were Valuable to
Collectors Only.
Now York, Feb. 3. After years of
hard wink It Is now said thut the post
olllce authorities have succeeded In
running to earth a band ot thieves
which has been robbing' the govern
ment of stumps nt .the rate of about
$100,000 a year for many years back.
The llrst arrest was made today In this
city and It will be followed up, it is
further said, by the arrest of the others
In the gang. The man who was arrest
ed In this city Is Hamilton F. Column,
u clerk In the chief clerk's depart
ment In the general land olllee In
Washington, He wns arrested on a
telegram from Washington. Over $5,000
worth of stamps were found on his per
son. These stamps arc known ,aa pe
riodical. stamps. They ranged In value
from' one cent to sixty dollars. A num
ber of these stamps are sent to each
postmaster every year. AVhen a pub
lishing house presents one thousand
pounds of publishing matter, for In
stance, the postmaster gives It a re
ceipt for the postage paid and cancels
stamps amounting In full value to that
amount.
These stamps aie returned cancelled
to headquarters In Washington.
A new Issuo of these stamps were or
dered In 1S04. Before that time an Is
sue had not been made since about 1S75.
The collectors of postage stomps are
eager for the stamps and always have
been, and so the stamps have been stol
en and sold to them. The face value
of the notes Is $20.1.57. The market price,
it is said, has been almost twice that
imieh, so that the thieves who have been
stealing them have been making small
'fortunes.
It is against one of the statutes of the
United States to have these stamps In
one's possession, the supposition being
lmturally that, as they are never for
circulation and not Intended to leave
the hands of the authorities, the persons
who have them must necessarily have
stolen them. Column was taken before
Commissioner Shields. Postolllce In
spector 'Morris made an affidavit thtit
Column had received these stamps from
one Randolph J. Albrecht, and that
he had them in his possesison In viola
tion of the United States law. The
commissioner set his examination for
next Wednesday and fixed his ball at
$2,000. He sent several messengers out
looking for bondsmen."
CLAIMS TO BE INNOCENT.
Colman said he was Innocent, that
the stamps were his property and that
he could prove his Innocence. '
The detectives In this city said today
that they knew but little about the
title nature of the story behind Hie ar
rest. Among other things found In Col
man's pockets were a number of envel
opes bearing the Imprint of Burger and
company, dealers In stamps at No. 53
Nassau stieet.
Mr. Burger said today that lie did not
know Colman.
Colman has friends In this city From
what they say It appears that the
stamps found upon Colman were sold
to Rudolph. F. Albrecht, a dealer In
stamps of No. 00 Nnhsau street about
three weeks ago by A. C. Townsend, a
philatelist having an ofllce In the Loan
and Trust building, AVnshlngton.
AVhen Mr. Albrecht sought to dispone of
the stamps Inquiry as to how he came
by them was instituted by the philatelic
papers.
"AVhoro did these stamps come from"
these papers asked.
"It Is against the law for Albrecht
to have them."
"Then Mr. Albrecht took counsel with
himself and friends and wrote to' Town
send about the matter. The result was
that Colman came to this city to take
up the stamps, which lie did, and was
nnested a few moments after he had
received them from Mr. Albrecht.
"The stamps have absolutely no face
value, commercially," said Mr. Albrecht
today, "for theS' are not intended to
leave the eustody'of the postolllce peo
ple.. Tint they are .valuable to philate
lists, and according to the set lea, lulng
huge prices. Two or three hundred dol
lars (or a set Is no unusual price."

The New Position Will Make
Room for a Pennsylvania!!.
AA'ashington.Feb. 3. A Canton special
to the Post states that Major McKlnley
will complete his cabinet before the
end of the week. It Is understood here
that Mr. AVIlson Is to be secretary of
agriculture and John D. Long, of Mas
sachusetts, secretary of the navy. In
fact, to Senator-elect Mason today Ma
jor McKlnley said there were but throe
portfolios yet to 1111. Judge Golf Is
uerse to entering the cabinet on ac
count of the delicate condition of his
wife's health, but McKlnley says lie
still considers him a. probability. To
a visitor he said:
"I would like to recognize Maryland,
but will be unable to do so. I owe a
position to California, which has al
ways been faithful, and must go South
for cabinet timber. I will probably go
to Kentucky, Tennessee, or Georgia. I
must give one place either to New York
or Pennsylvania and provide for others
in the future. I will also be unable to
recognize Missouri."
This means II. Clay Evans will be
postmaster general, and he Is now en
all slates. He will be summoned to
Canton before the end of the week It Is
thought.
It is known that In his first message
to congress Major McKlnley will rec
ommend the establishment of a new
cabinet ofllce, that of secretary of com
merce and Industry. In the event a
Pennsylvania, inun Is made attorney
general, the new portfolio will be ten
dered some New York man, upon whom
both the Piatt and Union league fac

authentic. It is also known that Re

SHAMOKIN AMAZON.
.11 is. Mniy Klnmiskie .Makes n Vicious
Assault on Constable Gottshull.
Shamokln, Pa Feb. 3. The fighting
qualities of Mrs. Mary Klamiskle would
bring her honor In nn Amazonian army,
but when exercised against officers of
the law, as they were today they are
more likely to land her In the peniten
tiary. Mrs. Klamiskle has but little
reverence for orders of a court, and
when Constable Ellas Gottsh'all went
to her house today to serve a bench
warrant on her he foiiad it barrlcade'd
for defence. Little reckoning what was
before him the constable usaslled the
barricade, and, as he was climbing over
It, was repulsed by a kettle of scalding
water dashed on his head and shoulders
by the female defendant of the formica
tion. Gottshall fell back In pain and
astonishment and then Mrs. Klamis
kle made a sortie with' an axe. She
laid the constable low with one blow,
cutting a fearful gash In his head. She
then aimed another sweeping stroke at
him and burled the axe In the lloor by
his neck. In terror of his life Gott
shall screamed for help, and drawing
his arms around the woman's ankles,
managed to pull her to the lloor. Tho
constable and the woman struggled and
fought together on the floor and the
opportune arrival of a man who had
heard Gottshall's cries for help probably
only baved the constable from utter de
feat. After a despeiate struggle tho
woman was taken Into court before
Judge Snvldge. The Judge lined her
$100 for contempt of court and Instruct
ed the grand Jury to find a bill against
her for assault and battery with intent
to kill.
A month ago ofilcers went to serve a
warrant on Mrs. Klamiskle for per
jury. She crawled under the house and
defied the otueers to come and take
hor, and held her position until driven
forth by hunger and cold.
