HUNT FOR Thief CONTINUES
CHIEF OF SECRET SERVICE NOW
IN CHARGE OF CHICAGO
SUB-TREASURY CASE.

Chicago, March 1.-The hunt for
the man who stole $4,000 from the
Chicago sub-treasury continues. ..... .,-
John r. Wilkie, chief of the United
States secret service, who arrived
here Thursday and took personal
charge of the case, strongly intimates
that suspicious have concentrated on
one man, whose name has already
been mentioned in connection with the
gigantic theft, but the officials were
not yet ready for an arrest. :. -
Chief Wilkie said this suspected
man might have had one or several
accomplices, who expected to profit by
the theft, but his theory was that one
man had taken the money.
Four men were put through q
searching examination by Chief Will
kie in the office of Captain Thomas I.
Porter, chief Of the local secret serv-
ice bureau. The men questioned were
Arthur r. Boal, currency clerk and a
nephew of Cashier Frank G. Russell;
Henry s. Lock, assistant asserting
teller, who has succeeded George w.
Fitzgerald as asserting teller; John
M. Rogers, paying teller, and Frank
J. Walsh, currency clerk.
With the exception of George w.
Fitzgerald, the asserting teller from
whose cage the money disappeared,
these four men are believed to be In a
better position than any other en-
ployes or officials of the sub-treasury
to throw light on the manner in which
the thief could have secured the
money. They were nearest the Fitz-
gerald cage. Fitzgerald, who Is being
kept under surveillance, will be OK.

Washington in a few days to decide
whether the supreme court will be
asked to compel Mr.. Hartman to

the testimony as given was ample.

New York, March 2.-The Tribune
says that according to private cable
advices received here from Havana
Charles w. Morse, who is now in
Cuba, has become enthusiastic over
the development of the island and
promises to build up a great passen-
ger and freight service between New
York, Havana and other Cuban ports.
He hopes to put into service within a
year two fast turbine steamers, which
will make the trip between New York
and Havana In two days, which is
one-half the time now consumed.
Aside from the traffic improvements
Mr. Morse will take up building in
Havana hotel which he says will
equal any resort in the world.
II am confident after my brief visit
here" Mr.. Morse said in Havana,
that better facilities for docking
must be made. The inconvenience
and expense necessitated by the light
erage of freight might be endured by
the company, but passengers will not
submit to things where they are per-

construct wharves where steamers

ARBITRATION IS SUGGESTED
RAILROAD MANAGERS WANT DE-
MANDS OF MEN SUBMITTED
TO COMMITTEE. ...


Chicago, March 2.-Arbitration was
offered during the day by the railroad
managers as a means to avert a great
strike in the event of an unfavorable
vote by the trainmen and conductors
on the proposition made by the rail
ways.
Whether this plan will ultimately
be accepted by the employees involved
none of the officers Of the organiza-
ton would say. It is declared by the
latter to be practically certain, how
ever, that the wage proposition Of the
railways will not be accepted by the
men and that the strike vote will be
carried by large majority.
The railway magnates now call it a
trap through an understanding which
was reached when the negotiations
opened. 1t is claimed that the men
on one system cannot accept any set
Element until the questions involved
are disposed of satisfactorily to the
men on the forty-two systems which
took part in the conference.

INTRODUCE DEFENDANTS
NOTE in EVIDENCE.

New York, March 2.-District At
torney Jerome's intention of applying
for a commission in lunacy to exam.
Inc Harry K. Thaw seemed to be def
nitely established during the continu-
ance Of his cross-examination of Dr.
B. D. Evans, the principal medical ex-
port for the defense.
Mr.. Jerome during his examination
constantly referred to the subject of
paranoia, but was unable to secure
from the witness any admission that
would tend to show Thaw paranoic
BY this line of questioning it seems
probable that the prosecution will at
tempt to show that instead of being
afflicted with the insanity of Adde'S
oence Thaw Is actually paranoic.
During the course of his cross-ex-
animation by Mr.. Jerome DR.. Evans
definitely stated that at the time
Thaw shot and killed Stanford White
he was insane, suffering an explosive
outbreak of adolescent insanity. DR..
Evans said cases of adolescent insan-
ity had been known to clear up over
night.
DR.. Evans declared various out
breaks did not suggest paranoia in
that they all differ. In writing the
will Thaw seemed to fear for his life;
at other times he indicated simple
melancholia and at last there was the
explosive outbreak on the Madison
Square Roof Garden. These vari-
anoes. the expert asserted, were in
dicative of insanity Of the adolescent
period, but there was no fixed form as
in paranoia. - we e.. .. r.: =. J..
During the morning session Thaw
asked and received permission to
leave the courtroom. When he got
into the prisoners pen it Is said he
told his guard that he merely wanted
to stretch himself and get some exer-
else. He waved his arms somewhat
violently and walked rapidly up and
down. District Attorney Jerome was
informed of what had occurred.

erty Rights OF Aliens.
Sacramento, CAL, March 2.-The
lower house in California has taken
action on the Oriental question. 1t
has passed bill introduced by AS
semblyman Drew Of Fresno.

to prevent them from acquiring and
owning property for a longer period
than five years.
The bill provides that any alien who
does not become citizen of the Unit

title to lands in this state for more
than five years. If within that time
the alien does not become a citizen

sale of his lands or houses.
Japanese and Chinese are not spe.
officially named, but as they cannot
become citizens the bill Is aimed d.
rectly at them. -.
The measure also provides that no
contract, agreement or lease of real
estate, for a longer period than one
year shall be made by any alien.

JEROME MAY USE STATEMENT.
Thaw's Latest Act of Value to the
Prosecutor,

Prosecutor.
New York, March 2.-What effect
will the statement just issued by
Harry K. Thaw have on his trial?
This is the question which is calling
forth much speculation on the part of
followers of the case. 1t Is said that
Thaw's lawyers did their best to con-
Vince him that it was bad policy to
issue the statement and only consent
ed when he insisted that he be al
lowed to do SO. II
Now the question is, what will the
district attorney do about it? There
are many who believe that Mr.. Je-
rome will seek to put this statement
IN evidence and use it to show that
Thaw is still insane. Whether he will
attempt to put it before the jury and,
Il he does, whether he will be able to
get it In, are questions which can only
be answered in the future. The indi-
cations, however, are that Mr.. Jerome
will overlook no chance to show that
Thaw Is now insane 50 as to take the
case from the jury and send Thaw to
the asylum for the criminally insane
At Matteawan.
In the statement, which he gave to
the newspaper men in court, Thaw
accused District Attorney Jerome Of
having made unprofessional remarks
In court, asserted that his wife's testi-
mony: was absolutely true and in con-
olusion declared that Mrs. Thaw's
natural and real goodness was above
the comprehension of the prosecuting
officer.
