HOPE TO RECOVER THE MONEY
Treasury Theft Has Not Yet Been
Returned, However.

Chicago, March l4.--'If the man
who got the $4,000 from the sub
treasury will send 1t back through the
mail or by express, the chances are that
he never will be detected"
This observation was made yesterday
by high Federal official working on
the disappearance Of the money, and 1t
represents the hope of the government
authorities, so far as can be learned
from anyone engaged in the investiga-
tion. The hope that the money would
be returned in some mysterious fashion
failed to mater ialize.
Deputy Treasurer Bantz admitted for
the first time that there is remote
possibility that the cash in the sub
treasury is not $l73,000 short. He
made it with II reservation.

EXPLOSION ON wARSAlP.

tain Adigard, commander Of the battle
ship; Captain vertieT, chief CT staff OF
the Mediterranean squadron, and from
20 to so blueiackets are dead, while
Rear Admiral Manceron and hundreds
OF men are suffering from injuries.
Naval circles are aghast and the public
is stunned by the appalling catastrophe,
coming so soon after the loss Of the
French submarine boat Lutin, in which
10 men met death.
The entire after part Of the Jena was
blown to pieces. The bodies of the VIC
Tins were hurled through the air by u
succession of explosions and panic
stricken workmen at the arsenal fled
for their lives from the vicinity OF the
drydock. Scores on board the Jena
jumped over board on the stone quays
and sustained serious injuries.
The primary cause of the accident
was the premature explosion OF tor
pedo. What caused the explosion is
not known, but the powder magazines
Of the Jena were set on fire and the re-
sulting explosions practically destroyed
what was considered one OF the best
vessels OF the French navy. The Jena
lad just undergone the final construc-
ton of her hull and machinery, the
latter part having been partly over
hauled preparatory to joining the
squadron today.

were destroyed OF damaged today, caus-
ing loss estimated at $200,0 Many
OF the dwellings were tenements or
apartment houses, and there were many

from extinguishers and buckets.
Two attempts were made to stop the
flames by dynamting buildings on

Charges by Inspector.

Washington, March l6.-secretary
Garfield is working on report sent to
his predecessor by Special Agent A. R.
Greene, detailing alleged frauds which
he believes he has uncovered in connec-
tion with the construction OF the Boise
Payette irrigation project in Idaho.
Mr.. Greene, so it is reported, alleges
there has been collusion between con-
tractors on the Deer Flat reservoir dam
and Reclamation Engineer d. W. Ross,
it being rumored that Mr.. Greene
charges that the contractors, in return
for favors shown by Mr.. Ross, made
him present Of 1000 acres of land.
Officials of the reclamation service alb
solutely discredit the report, and have
the utmost confidence in Mr.. Ross. 1t

RETALIATION NOT THEIR AIM
Claim u Prudence to Stop cons,rue-
tloh Until They Know Where

Chicago, March ii.-Railroad prcsi-
dents agree that the general dispoSition
all over the country to attack the roads
by means OF hostile bills has reached u
stage where some decided action must
be taken or the country will suffer so
verely. As matter Of fact, the roads
already have suffered tremendous
losses, but eventually the heaviest bur-
den will fall upon the public In dimin-
ished and inferior service, general re-.
trenchment, cheaper equipment and
the abandonment OF extensions which
would develop new country.
The greatest danger, according 10 all
authorities, lies In the great crop Of
two-cent rate bills, regardless OF the
conditions In the states adopting the
bills. In the East II is possible to main
tain good service ut this rate. In tho
West II II not,
Benjamin wlnchell, president OF the
Rock Island system, probably best
cpitomiEes the sense Of all the replies
received to messages sent all presi-
dents asking for an opinion on present
conditions and wha, was necessary to
reduce the danger OF poorer service.
Mr.. winchell says;
"li the Interstate Commerce com
mission does It's work wisely and
sancly. as believe II will do. the rail-
rnads have nothing to fear. They will
set even justice, which is all they ask.
| am relying on the sound sense of
fairness OF the American people TO stop
before the situation becomes acute
financially. II Is Il mistake to say tho
railroads are rctaliating by reducing
their service and abandoning great en-
terpIises. II is simple prudence, u
bowling to the storm. We are ioced
to stop building new lines, buying cars
and other equipment until we know
where the money is coming from. II
is simple business sense, and not retail
iation.
III am heartily In accord with the
plan fo' railroad presidents to confer
with President Roosevelt. We must
take the public more into. our conf
dence and break down the distrust. Co
operation with the government in
audable reforms is Il good thing"

for some time. Their discoveries in
Idaho are said to typify conditions in

The charges in general are that en-
gineers and other officials Of the de-
partment are standing in" with ia
vored contractors in some instances,
and in other instances have thrown out
bids In order TO make commissions on
the purchase Of machinery by the GOV.

POINT AGAINST HERMANN.
Answered Letters, but Copies Of An
swsrs Not Found.

Washington, March l5.-Evidence
decidedly damaging TO Binger Her
mann was introduced by the govern
ment today in the trial Of tho ex-land
commissioner for destruction of So let
terpress copybooks, alleged to have
contained official correspondence.
Charles L, Dubois, chief of survey di-
vision; d. G. Sherman, formerly Her
mann's financial clerk, and John s.
Vile, another clerk in the land office,
all identified several letters taken from
the files of the land office, all pertain
ing TO government business and all en-
dorsed on the back, answered by
commissioner"
They all agreed that this endorse
ment signifed that Hermann himself
dictated the replies and that his an
sweIs were press-copied in what were
known as the commissioners "person-
al' letter-books, 1t was also brought
out by the government that careful
search through the letter. books now liz
the land office failed to disclose copies
of the answers to these particular let
ters, thereby strongly intimating that
the letters must have been copied in
the books destroyed by Hermann as
charged in the indictment, and that
the books, therefore, contained official
correspondence.
No stronger evidence in support Of
indictment has heretofore been given
during the protracted trial. In fact,
most of the evidence submitted up to
this time has been designed to show a
motive for the destruction Of the books
and had no direct bearing upon the
actual charge contained in the indict-
ment. Today's evidence is very strong
in support of the indictment, and while
it is cicumstantial, yet leaves little
doubt in the minds OF those who have
followed the case that Hermann's So
called "private" letter-books in fact
contained much correspondence relat-
ing to the business OF his office.

Owing to the great size OF the ship, her

1t is stated that the big battleship can

MAY PROMOTE IMMIGRATION.
Government Will Not interfere With

Washington, March l5.-Informa-
ton received today renders it clear
that the immigration authorities, as
one result of the several conferences re-
Gently held, in which the president,
Secretary Straus, Attorney General
Bohaparte, Commissioner Of Immigra-
tion Sargent and prominent men of the
South have participated, will interpret
the existing immigration law as it was
interpreted in the South Carolina case.
The attorney general has held that the
immigrants landed at Charleston, S. c.. ,
last November, are legally in the coun-
try. They were induced to come to
America by authorized agents Of South
Carolina and the passage money for
some, at least, Of them was paid by
the state, and others by contributions
Of the citizens. Several other Southern
states have decided to seek immigra-
tion along the same lines as were fol-
lowed by South Carolina and it is un-
derstood they will not be interfered
with.
