THE BLAME FOR THE
WRECK AT BROWNS HAS
UNOT YET BEEN FIXED

Assistant uperintendent Rowlands
of the Southern Pacii company at
Sparks stated yesterday that he has
not determined the blame for the
wreck at Brown IS in which Engineer
Hampton lost his life. An examina-
tion of the train crews did not result
successfully. Testimony was taken
from about twelve railway employees.
Private detectives of the Southern
Pacific will be put on the case. If they
can find a clew another investigation
will be conducted.
Otherwise the officials seem inclined
to let the matter drop.

NOT TO BE REINFORCED.
No Intention of Increasing the Pacific
Fleet.

The positive statement was made at the
Navy Department today that no measures
were at present being taken to reinforce
the Pacific fleet, nor were any in contem-
plation. The Secretary himself said there
was no reason at this time for doing so.
Ever since the agitation over the Japa-
nese school question the impression seemed
to prevail, and rapidly gained ground, that
the naval representation of the United
States on the Pacific coast and in Asiatic
waters was woefully insufficient. In
deed. there were many officers in the
service who entertained that view, but
the apparent Satisfactory settlement of
the vexed school and coolie questions
with the California officials has had the
effect Of directing the attention of the
naval people to other problems of a less
serious nature. There is no disposition
whatever to disturb the present program of
maneuvers' and target practice of the At
lantic fleet at Culebra. and it was stated
that when these are completed the ships
will all come north to undergo the usual
docking and repairs.

THEFT ADMITTED HERE
CHICAGO SECRET SERVICE MEN
AT WORK ON CASE.

Treasury officials today admitted that
there had been large robbery of govern
ment money in the Chicago subtreasury but
they did not seem to be posted as to de-
tails. 1t was to get the details and to try
to bring the robber or robbers to justice that
Secretary Shaw sent Gideon c. Bantz, depu-
~ assistant treasurer, to Chicago Sunday
night. Mr.. Bantz is expected to reach Chi
cago at o'clock this afternoon and to get
to work at once in conjunction with clerks
from the office Of the assistant treasurer in
Chicago. Mr.. Bantz did not take any clerks
from here with him, and will work with
Chicago experts.
Chief Wilkie of the secret service has not
gone to Chicago and may not do so. 1t Is
stated that the Chicago headquarters of the
secret service have been at work on the
robbery for several days, but so far have
developed nothing.
$1,000 Gold Certificates.
One fact of interest that has been learned
is that the robber took $4,000, and that
the money was all in 81 600 gold certificates.
There We're 113 certificates in the package
that he got away with. With bills of this
denomination on his person he ought to be
detected before great while.
So far as can be learned at the Treasury
Department no clerk or employee of the
SulcdSo SUDtItdSuTy Is missing from his
work. and the question now is to whether
the robbery was committed by some one in
the Subtreasury or an outsider. Mr.. Bantz
will get to work to ascertain who had the
money lost and what they did with it, 1t
was Mr.. Bantz who was sent to ST. Louis
several months on the occasion of the rob-
berry of the subtreasury there of $50, 900, and
for which a clerk named Dyer, son of
District Attorney Dyer. was indicted and
tried. He was acquitted and the disappear
ance of the money has yet to be cleared up.
Dyer was the first to discover the St. Louis
shortage. and concealed il for several days
before he said anything about it.
Similarity in the Work.
The fact that in both the st. Louis and
Chicago robberies the money stolen con-
sisted of a package of bills has not failed to
attract attention, and theory has been
advanced that the same man or men may
have committed both robberes. There is
similarity in the work.
The Chicago subtreasury first discovered
the shortage on the 10th of this month. 1t Is
stated, but made no report to Secretary
Shaw until the 23d, the telegram not reach
ing the Treasury Department until too late
Saturday night to send Mr. Bantz at that
time. He was gotten away IS quickly as
possible Sunday.
The robbery is the heaviest known in the
history of the Treasury, and officials are
chagrined at the ease with which two rob-
berries of large sums of government money
have occurred within few months Of each
other.

LAST DISTRICT DAY
A Very Lively Discussion in the
House.
KILLS UNION STATION BILL
Smoke Law and Broad-Tire Riders
Also Executed.
MR.. BABCoCK's GREAT EFFORT
To Bring in the Measure Under Sus-
pension Of Rule
Resented.

After an exceedingly animated discussion
during the course of which Chairman Bab-
cock of the House District committee was
accused Of bad faith and of breaking re-
peated promises to his colleagues, the
House today by the decisive vote of 159 to
Sc killed the bill to permit the local traction
companies to build their lines to the union
station. The riders on the bill-the pro-
vision to extend the smoke law to railroad
locomotives and the broad tire measure
were likewise executed.
Several other bills received favorable con-
sideration. The House did not sit as the
beard of aldermen of the District, but the
business was done under suspension Of the
rules.
The leaders of the fight against the union
station bill killed the measure because, as
1t was brought in by Chairman Babcock,
no amendments were permitted. Conse-
quently the advocates of universal transfers
and three-cent fares did not have show,
and they retaliated by getting sufficient
support to knock out the whole bill. They
were aided materially in this by those mem
bers who are opposed to the broad-tire bill
and the smoke amendment.
The railroad reformers did manage to
do something positive in addition to their
negative performances, in securing the
adoption by the House of an amendment

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-02-25

no objection, and Mr.. Hepburn, indicating
by his manner that he was very angry,
turned on Chairman Babcock to demand
his reasons for not letting the bill come up
on District day, but trying to get it up I'M
der suspension of the rules so as to cut
off all chance of amendment. Mr.. Hepburn
had not proceeded very far when Repre-
sentative Payne Of New York the republi-
can floor leader, objected, and Mr.. Hepburn
had to sit down. But as he took his seat
he leaned forward and shook his index
finger fearfully at Chairman Babcock a
few seats away, and cried, You have got
to explain about the statement you made
last District day concerning this bill" Mr..
Babcock got up and went over to Mr.. Hep
burns desk, where they had the hottest
KIND of an argument in undertones for
about ten minutes.
During the discussion that followed the
reading of the bill, and which lasted for
forty minutes, some pretty hot personali-
ties were exchanged. Mr.. James and Mr..
Hepburn both fatty accused Chairman Bah
cock of bad faith and insisted that he
had broken an unconditional promise made
to the House last District day that the
street railway bill when brought in would
be susceptible of amendment.
Representative Babcock started the dis
cussion by explaining the terms of the bill,
the provisions of which have been published
in full In The Star, and by discussing the
smoke and broad tire amendment Repre-
sentative Jones of Virginia said he didn't
believe there was any demand at all for the
broad-tire bill, and Representative Mann OF
Illinois considered it very unusual to bring
into the House on District day several inn
portant propositions tied to one measure
and to be considered under a suspension OF
the rules.
Mr. Babcock explained that the House had
already acted on both the smoke and broad
tire bills, but that both of these measures
had been unfavorably considered in the
Senate. He thought a large portion of the
objection to the broad-tire bill had been
eliminated by the committee amendment In

which might be borne by narrow tires from
1000 pounds, including the weight of the

"There II a precise similarity between

il greater evidence Of value in the way
Of mineralized outcrops and assays OBJ

There are not less than seven outcrop-
