France’s war mission, headed by Rene Viviani, Marshal Joffte and Admiral Chocheprat, spent more than a half hour on the floor of the Senate Tuesday and stirred that body and galleries crowded to ca pacity, first to vigorous applause and then to roars of cheers. After the senators and members of the House had grasped the hands of the distinguished visitors and>M. Viyiani, vice premier and leader of the mission, had delivered an ad dress that thrilled his hearer^, the greatest outburst of enthusiasm came. It was a tribute to the hero of the Marne, who in response to rousing cries of "Joffre! Joffre!

In the language of several post office inspectors who had track ed him for years, he was one of the ^-orst men ever designated as a yegg- man. He was cool, calculating and as shrewd as the shrewdest of that little hand of thief takers maintained by the Post Office Department. Bad at heart and as unscrupulous as it was possible for a man to be. yet there was an innate love of fair play—perhaps a sporting instinct-^- about him which endeared him to friend., and foe alike. Even those who spent years in pur-juing him— olten risking, their lives in the chase - high when they mention his name, and after telling of his vicious traits always conclude with this:—"But he was a man a man and every Inch of one ’* With "Prftnrou "Slim and aeverml other yegg celebrities Kearney rob bed the Post Office nt Hockauay.

This was a task he was thoroughly familiar with and a simple one were he at large/ ' But to do this within the narrow confines of his cell, where he well knew a vigilant guard was at all times with in a few feet pf. him, was.anolher matter. To reduce this dynamite to '♦VKtifP* nitroglycerine was a long and dell- ente operation. First a vessel con taining boiling water ^rnust be pro cured, and furthermore the water would have to be kept at the boiling point for at least an hour. As the water boiled the sticks of dynamite were whittled or shaved down to al most powder form and then wrapped in a gauze cloth. This gauze bag was then immersed in the boiling water and held there until there cov ered the surface of the water a thick, gummy scum, which emitted a sick ening sweet odor. That scum which arose to the surface of the water was the nitroglycerine, and from be neath it the water must be drawn off. This was readily accomplished and the remaining solution transfer red to a rubber bag for safe’keeping until such time as Kearney was ready to spring his mine..
