BIG ROBBERY OF STAMPS.
Vault in Internal Revenue Office
at Peoria, ILL.,, Forced
by Burglars.
LOSS MAY REACH MILLION DOLLARS.
Another Estimate Says 100000 VIII
Probably Cover the Amount of
Stamps Takcn--Exnct Amount of
Loss Cannot he known Until nm
Invoice Is Taken

Peoria, ILL.,, Jan. 2S.-The safe in
the office of the collector of internal
revenue in this city. which is head
quarters of the Fifth Illinois district,
was broken into Friday night and a
large quantity of war revenue stamps
taken The authorities claim that
they will have no idea of what the
value of the stamps taken may be I'M
til after the contents of the safe have
been invoiced. 1t is known. however,
that large quantity of stamps was
taken. 1t is possible that the amount
may reach $1,OOO,00O or more, and it
is equally possible that it may be con-,
siderably smaller. This district pays
more internal revenue than any other
district in the country.
Thieves Enter by Transom.
Entrance to the revenue offices,
which occupy one entire side of the
second floor of the government build
ing, was effected through an open
transom. They bored through the
vault door and into the bar which
turns the bolts into place. Then by
the use of hammer and chisel they
broke the bar which is on the inside
of the door. Afterwards they took
the bricks out at the side of the safe
and easily pried open the vault doors.
One Estimate Says 100000.
The amount of stamps secured by
the robbers is only matter of guess
as yet. Deputy Collector Marshall,
who is in charge of the department
during Collector Daugherty's serious
illness refuses to make any estimate
whatever. Others connected with the
department assert that 100000 will
cover the government loss. Chief of
Police Flynn says that from what his
detectives have gathered he considers
that amount high. Others besides the
government lost by the steal. j. F.
Tompkins, deputy in the depart
ment, had mortgages, bonds and notes
to the amount of $4,000 and 500 in
cash in the vault all of which was
taken, as was other negotiable paper
and cash belonging to other employees
of the department. Auditors are ex-
pected to arrive before Monday morn
ing, and the contents of the safe will
then be invoiced and the loss fully
learned.

Why?

Foreign countries are buying Ameri-
can built locomotives. The American
locomotive builder is bulwarked be-
hind a protective tariff to prevent the
competition of "pauper locomotive
builders of Europe"
Why?
France and Great Britain are buying
American bituminous coal. The Amer
lean coal baron is bulwarked behind
a protective tariff to prevent the COM
petition of ''pauper mined European
coal.
Why?
Great Britain, France, Germany and
Russia are buying American made
shoes. American shoe manufacture
ers are bulwarked behind protective
tariff to prevent the competition of
''pauper made European shoes. !"
Why?
These are pertinent questions. Why
should these infant Industries be pro-
tected against the competition of for
elgn made goods when the markets
thereof are able to pay ocean and rail-
road freight rates and undersell the
foreigner in his own markets? Will
it never dawn upon majority of the
people that the protective tariff is
only blind for extorting from them
exorbitant profits? Will it never
dawn upon them that bulwarked be-
hind the protective tariff the "infant
industries" of this country can hold
up American consumers for any profit
the manufacturers see fit to exact
while actually underselling the en-
ployer of spauper European labor" in
the European market?
