The packages were really money packages. They contained $50,000 The messeuger put these packages in Ills pocket and dropped oil- the train at the next station. The express company captured him within twelve hours and recovered the money. The only weak spot in tlie stationary safe system was tlie man who held the dial. That was the spot that gave way at Des Moines. But this is the one iustauee where the system lias not worked perfectly. Most of Uncle Sam’s money is ship ped in stationary safes. Nothing has ever been lost in shipments from the treasury department or any of its branches. The losses are usually from packages of mutilated currency sent in for redemption. The numtier of these packages reaching tlie treasury depart ment now is comparatively small. The banks cannot spare tlie currency long enough to send it to Washington for exchange. Just now the principal shipments going out from Washington are of incomplete currency being sent tj the nationnl banks. It comes to the ofllce of the express com|auiy in the basement of the treasury building in packages nearly eight inches square. These packages of heavy manilla, seal ed with two wax seals bearing the stamp of the controller of the currency. The package is a patented device, the seams being folded in so that a knife blade inserted in one of them would not pass directly into the package, but would have to go through the fold. On the outside of each package is plainly marked Its destination and the amount and character of its contents. The ex press company gives a receipt for each of these packages. If they are going to a big terminal point they go in one of tlie stationary safes. They are car ried from tlie treasury department to the railway in a portable safe, of the fa milia a style which you may see in al most any express wagon passing through the streets of any large city. At the station the packages are remov ed from the portable safe, checked off on the waybill and locked in the sta tionary safe in the presence of three men. One of these is tlie messenger who has charge of the car when it leaves Washington. Gold cannot be handled like curren cy because of its great weight. At the time so much gold was going abroad a couple of months ago, the treasury de partment was shipping about a million dollars every day from Washington to New York. This gold weighed two tons to the million. One of the porta ble safes, holding about $200,900 in gold, weighs, when filled, 1500 pounds. These safes were locked and sealed at the treasury department. The porta ble safes have key locks'. A strip of iron slips over tlie keyhole and is fas tened in place once with a piece of string and once with a piece of wire. A lead seal is used on the string. To get at the keyhole a messenger or robber would have tobreak the scalsor cut the string and the wire. The fact that the safe had been tampered with would lie plainly evident to the next person handling It. The safe with its $200,000 worth of gold, having been sealed, is hoisted with a fall and tackle iuto a "cage” ex press wagon—that is a wagon with wire sides. Anything that occurred ’ in the wagon would be plainly visible to persons passing along the street, and as tlie trips are made in broad daylight there is no ¡xissibility of tlie messenger in the wagon tampering with his charge Besides the messenger who sits on the safe with a shotgun in Ills hand and a brace of revolvers in bis belt, there are two men oil the front of the wagon, also fully armed. The man in the wagon has a shotgun of the Bel gian make, breech loading, the barrel sawed off so that it can lie used in close action. The express company owns fifty of these shotguns, and eacli mes senger has one in his car. A year ago when the treasury depart ment shipped $20,000,000 in gold from San Francisco to New York, it would have bad to pay the express company $65,320 for the haul at centrad rates. But San Francisco is outside the con tract territory of the United States ex press company, and the treasury de partment sent the gold east as “regis tered mail" at a costo! a little less than $2500. --------------------------- EXPLORING AFRIC A.
