CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-One of the larg-
est, if not the largest, thefts from the
United States treasury has been un-
earthed in Chicago.
Somewhere between S175.0O0 and
5000. 600 was stolen from the local sub
treasury last week.
The money has disappeared as COM
pletely as if it had vanished from the
face of the earth.
The authorities here and in Washing
tOn have been working night and day
on the robbery since it was discovered.
Chief Wilkie from the United States
secret service has been keeping in
formed by telephone and telegraph of
every development, and according to
telegraphic adviCes he will leave Wash
ington today TO take personal charge
of the investigation. When interviewed
today in regard to the robbery Sub
treasurer BoldenWick admitted that a
theft of $4,000 had been perpetrated
He declared that it had been definitely
determined just where the shortage oc-
Cured, but he declined to say where it
had been traced. He declared, how
ever, that the robber had never reached
the vaults
He said that the only reason for be-
lieving the money stolen had been in
bills of large denomination was that it
would be impossible ror anybody to
have taken $173,OO0 from the office in
small bills and escaped detection, but
that q package of S173000 in one thou
