New Theory of Theft From
Chicago Sub treasury
st. Louis Decision May Exonerate
Thief From Charge of EN-
bezzlement.
LIST OF CASH APPROPRIATED.

Chicago, March IA theft accord
ing. to law is the latest indication In
the mysterious robbery of the Chica-
go subtreasury.
Careful students of the situation at
the federal building last night reach
ed the conclusion that the man who
took s173, 900 from the local Office
had studied the decision in the St.
Louis subtreasury robbery case, where
$4,000 was taken, and had made his
actions conform in every respect to
the ruling of the court in that case
SC that he might take the money, Sc
crete it and then face the music leay-
ing the government to show that the
money had been misappropriated.
The decision in the st. Louis case
was that's man who had the care of
funds could not be held for embezzle-
ment where the money disappeared
from his care, unless 1t could be
shown that he had Incorporated it.
Following this decision, 1t was
pointed out that the man who took
the money could face all criticisms.
stand by his guns, and unless the
money was found and the means of
its disappearance could be- directly
traced to him he would be safe.
Think Thief Studied the Law.
This is thought to have been the
case here. 1t is assumed that the man
who stole the vast sum studied law
in order to make the theft conform 10
legal requirements.
This aspect OF the case has made
the government panicky in the fear
that the same procedure could be re.
peated in other cases, and that the
public funds are not safe with the
Chicago mystery unsolved.
81 have completed my inyestiga-
ton ofthe books of the subtreasuTy.
That examination shows that there Is
no clerical error. The common sense
view is that the money was taken by
an employe OF the Office. 1t is foolish
to say that an outsider took the mon
ey with ruler or a, stick. We are no
nearer a solution Of the mystery to-
day than We We're last night"
Gideon C. Bantz, deputy treasurer
of the United States, last night sum-
med up in these words the theory Of
the government officials In their quest
for the thief who took $4,000 from
the Chicago subtreasury.
All Of the officials have apparently
centered their suspicious upon one
man although flour men are being
watched. &
William Boldenneck, assistant
treasurer, added to the sum of in
formation the statement that the
money in the Office had all been count
ed, and that from this count, he was
satisfied that the funds taken were
as follows.
Thirteen bills, each for 80. SO .O'9O
One bill for ......... 5000
Thirty-eight bills each for. 1000
This makes total of s173 900.
Mr.. Boldenneck is positive that the
missing bills have been properly list
ed. and that the amounts stated are
correct. With this dehuite statement
from the Office as to the character OF
the money that has been taken re-
newed efforts were made to trace the
big bills. 2

IMPORT MANY GAME
BIRDS FROM GERMANY
State Commissioner Wheeler Will Dis
tribute Partridees and Pleas
ants in Spring.

Hungarian partridges to the number
of $50 pairs, or 1,060 birds, and five
pairs of Hungarian and Japanese
pheasants. have arrived from Ulm,
Germany, for the state game farm near
Springfield The birds were accompa-
MED by special game keeper, who
Travelled all the way from Germany to
care for them.
The birds were received by State
Game Commissioner J. A. Wheeler,
who said this was the largest assign
ment of birds of this character ever
received in this country. Kansas has
received a few, but in no such quanti-
ties. Besides quantity. the assignment
is important in quality. and SO far as
the pheasants are concerned, in rare
beauty.
The partridges are about the size of
the native quail, looking something
like them. They are more prolific than
the quail and much more hardy. These
birds will be wintered at the state
game farm at Auburn. In the spring
they will be taken to the northern part
of the state and then distributed.
The birds cost the state about $3.50
per pair. OF the entire assignment,
only one bird died on the trip, this in
dicating the hardihood of the birds.
and at the same time showing .efficien-
cy of the German keeper.
