Even Though You're Hard Up For Cash Don't Rob A Postoffice-You Lose
Washington—(U.P.)The F.B.I. always gets its man. So do the coppers. But don't sell the gum-shoes of the postoffice department short.
The guy who gets in the way of the U.S. mail generally winds up with his come-uppance in short order.
Here is a case in point. It was told by one of the head men in the postoffice department.
One day last month, a couple of tough characters, guns ready, strutted boldly into the postoffice at Midway, Wash. A startled clerk with no other choice, handed over $349.92 in cash, plus 13 books of blank money order forms. Plus, and more important, the official stamp, without which a body cannot cash a money order.
The clerk, when he could get his springs, called the local police. They alerted the postal inspectors in the area. The alarm spread.
The next day a strange character showed up in a gambing den in Reno, Nev. He lost at both roulette and dice. He cashed eight $100 postal money orders in all, called for a cab and left.
The girl cashier was on her toes and called the police.
Postal inspectors moved in on the case learned that this gent had boarded a Southern Pacific Train headed East. The word was flashed to Ogden, Utah. Twenty miles from Ogden, a posse flagged down the train, boarded it and took in hand
a man who identified himself as Woodrow Wilson Williams.
On him—so the charge goes—they found a lot of postal money orders, plus several rubber stamps—including the one that counts, the money order business stamp.
The inspectors looked over the man's effects. They found a Western Union receipt showing he had wired money to a man named Cephus R. Wilson. Also there was a scribble on a piece of scrap paper reading: "Pennington Hotel, Spokane."
Shortly after he checked in at New Orleans,the law moved in.
The Seattle office was alerted. Agents there learned that Wilson had taken a plane for New Orleans and was due to arrive on Sept. 8, three days after the midway holiday.
Wilson allegedly had a book of money order forms on him. The inspector said they also caught him trying to ditch a baggage claim check and relieved him of same. The luggage, they said, contained the rest of the money orders.

Stage Workers Could Start Own Club
Richard Hubner van Wyngaarden, graduate student from Holland, was stage manager for the plays, "Fumed Oak" and "Augustus Does His Bit." David Morgan-Granville, graduate student from England, was the electrician for the plays and Peter Kelei, instructor in architecture, who designed the sets, is from Hungary.
Three stage workers in the University Players' "Lab" theater are thinking of starting their own "international club."
Thomas Shay, instructor in speech and drama and director of the plays said that all of the men have done stage work in their own countries, but their stage techniques differ only slightly from each other and from American techniques.
The University of Kansas had its first enrollment of 26 women and 29 men in the fall of 1866.

Retailers and other TV receiver outlets reported call after call from confused present and prospective TV set owners. Those who already have invested several hundred dollars or more in family size receivers demanded to know if their investment was obsolete.
