BIC TREASURY RAID
Somebody Got Away With $4,000
Of Uncle Sans Money at Chi
: cagO Sub-Treasury.
NO EVIDENCE AGAINST ANYONE
A Mysterious Theft of Great Sum Of
Money to Which Score of Detec-
tiVes Working on the Case Have No
Tangible Clue.

Chicago, Feb. 26.-Although a score
of detectives are at work on the case,
the theft of $4,000 from the sub
treasury in this city last Wednesday
seems as far from a solution as the
day the robbery was committed The
general impression prevails that the
thief must have been one of the gov
eminent employees, and several of
these men are being closely watched,
but as far as known today, no evil
dence of a tangible nature has been
discovered against any of them.
Among the employees under the sur
veillance of the government secret
service men is George w. Fitzgerald,
who was in charge of the teller's cage
from which the money was distracted,
but he disclaims that he has any
knowledge of how the money disap-
peared and tells a straightforward
story which he steadily adheres to,
although he has been cross-examined
dozen times since he reported the
shortage to the sub-treasuTer on the
day it was missed. Fitzgerald in a
statement made today told of how he
was being watched He saia he was
of the opinion that it was some of the
employees that committed the robbery
and declared that it would. have been
an easy matter for any of the twenty
five or thirty employees who under the
present system have daily access to
his cage to have made away with the
money without his knowledge. Sub
Treasurer Boldenwreck and Cashier
Russell said that they had no absolute
evidence against anyone.

Influence Of the Politicians Wife.


It has often been asked how much
influence the wife of a public man
bears on his political career. This Is
hard to estimate; but this much is
certain: The man who comes to Wash
iington, either as member of Con-
gress or of some other branch of the
government where his position is one
of prominence, is very unfortunate If
his wife is not one whom he can trust
to making her way socially. Not nee
essarily being a great social success,
but capable of mingling with the aver
age woman at the national capital.
percentage of society looks leniently
upon the married couple who are sell
dom seen in public together, the aver
age sound American believes in the
comradeship Of man and wife. But
when we sum up this question of the
influence of women in statecraft we
pass the judgment that, on the whole,
the influence of woman in statecraft
is for good says a writer in Home
Magazine. Being impulsive, she is apt
to make mistakes now and then which
cause the more logical males to laugh
at her, but as rule she is pretty sure
of her footing before she attempts to
make the jump across the political
stream that divides womankind from
mankind.

confidence in the generation of the

Germs in Books.

The authorities of the city libraries
in Berlin have been making some in
teresting experiments with the pur-
pose of determining the hygienic con-
ditions of books that have been used
great deal by the people. With the
dirt gathered from such books, some
of which was known to include tuber-
culosis bacilli, experiments were made
on guinea pigs. In the case of books
used but two years, no result could be
noticed, but the refuse collected from
particularly soiled books, that had
been in circulation from three to six
years, did produce an effect. Attempts
to destroy the bacilli by sterilization
through formalin vapors failed; but
the books themselves suffered to such
an extent that many were practically
spoiled. In view of this fact, the city
authorities have decided to abstain
from further disinfecting experiments.
In conjunction with the city medical
society and the police department, it
has now been decided periodically to
examine the public libraries and to de-
stroy those books which have been
used so much as to make them dan
ger to public health. Such books
must be destroyed, not sold for old
paper.
