Robber

Report was made to the police last night
OF a robbery committed yesterday after
noon at the home of Mr.. Frederick A.
Sitter, 1928 9th street northwest. A gold
watch and chain belonging to Mrs. Stier
and a pocket book containing 81 were
taken. The intruder also took the pro-
ceeds of the collection taken yesterday
at the Mount Vernon Place Methodist
Church, of which Mr.. Stier is treasurer.
When Mr.. Sitter returned home from
church he put the church money in bu-
reau drawer, and was surprised to find 1t
missing when he went to arrange his &C
counts about 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
He does not know what amount of money
there was in the church collection, as he
had not counted it, but he thinks he had
something like $50. Detective Hewlett and
Precinct Detective Herndon were assigned
to investigate the case. The latter denies
the statement attributed to him that he
believes the affair is a joke Search is
being made for the missing valuables and
the person who Is responsible for their
disappearance.

CHICAGO POSTOFFICE
ARCHITECT REMOVED
Secretary Shaw Dissatisfied
With Progress.
SIX YEARS SINCE STARTED
Assistant Foreman and Construction
Expert Also Resign-Not Explain
ed by Slow Work.

By order OF the Secretary Of the
Treasury. Henry Ives Cobb, special ar
chitect for the Chicago postofico, was
removed from ONCE yesterday. No rea-
son is assigned for his dismissal but It
IS said the action Of the Secretary re-
suited from charge OF lax administra-
ton en- the part Of Mr. Cobb.
At the same time announcement was
made at the Treasury OF the resignation
OF F. ". Fitzpatrick, foreman at the
new building. and c. a. Eckstrom. en-
ployed rs an expert IN construction
work. These designations We're --ithout
solicitation by the department. and
Treasury officials declare neither knew
Of the contemplated removal OF Mr..
Cobb.
Demand for Mr. Cob6's resignation
has been under consideration by Secre-
tary Shaw for some time Mr.. Cobb
has been without actual authority for
some months. and all his recommends
lions have been passed upon by the Su-
Pervising Architect after independent
examination o. the merits.
Little Progress Made.
From n trustworthy authority it was
learned that the dismissal OF the archi-
tect was prompted through his failure
10 give satisfaction N the office. The
work Of the building has now been car
ried on for six years. and even the
most hurried construction would not
permit the completion of the building
IN less than two years.
Mr.. Cobb was appointed TO the DO
sitiOn Of special architect under the
competitive system. He received a
salary Of $4,000 q year.
1t is not likely that a successor to
the discharged architect viii be ap-
pointed. The building viii probably be
completed under the direction Of the

NEWS OF RAILROADS
AND OF RAILROAD MEN
READING CONTROL.

Gossip is still going around concern
ing a change IN the ownership OF the
control OF the Reading.
The Delaware. Lackawanna and West
ern Railroads has been named as seek
ing control Of the Reading. In view
OF the relations existing between the
Morgan Cassatt and the Reading inter-
ests any new agreement between the
Reading and the Could roads seems too
remote for serious consideration.
The Pennsylvan!a-Va Vanderbilt interest
IN Reading is very large. aegregating at
least l.100, 900 shares OF the three Issues.
II is more than probable that both OF
these Important interests have hgured
IN the recent heavy buying.
There seems 10 be no ground for the
suggestion that the Could roads might
take over the Reading and Jersey Cen
trail on a basis OF per cent. guaranteed.
In the absence Of President Baer. who
Is in Europe. and Vice President Voor-
hoes. who was not at the Reading Ter
minal yesterday. no Official utterapce
could be secured from any person. with
authority 20 speak for the Reading.
Bankers and brokers throughout the
city interested themselves in the cur
rent gossip. but could add nothing
whatever 10 the stock o. definite in
formation.
