WOULD roRrIFY FEDERAL BUILDINGS
General Miles Wants Troops to Protect
Uncle Sans Cash.


Washington. Nov. 5.-General Nelson
A. Miles was asked TO give his reasons
for recommending the fertilization OF
the new federal building in Chicago with
Gatling guns. He said:
There are nine places In this coun-
try where the treasure chests Of Uncle
Sam are located, and for the past TWEEN
~ years / have urged the necessity OF
protecting these repositories with the
most approved pattern OF firearms.
When the subject of a new public build
ing at Chicago was broached, one of
my first thoughts was for protective
measures. in case there should be an at
tempt directed against the sub-treas-
ury holdings which will be put In the
building. While i was in Constantine
pie the details Of the attack on the
Turkish bank were related to me, and
brought back to me the necessity for
some means for defense of the public
institutions OF the United States. Cat
ling guns could be placed where they
would be available at a moments no
tice, and too much publicity could not
be given concerning their presence in
the most commanding spots"
General Miles does not believe there
is any necessity for fortifying post
office buildings or other federal struct-
ures except those in which large sums
OF government money are kept. He
thinks that i'm each city where there are
sub-treasuries detail of regular troops
should be maintained. According to his
plan, this would involve additional ex-
pense to the government. Supervising
Architect Taylor of the treasury de-
partment calls attention to the fact that
the mint at Philadelphia was construct
ed to permit of its occupancy by light
artillerymen in case of an emergency.
