The mystery of the theft of $173,
600 from the United States sub
treasury in Chicago year and hall
ago is believed to have been solved by
tie arrest of George w. Fitzgerald
Other persons are believed to have
been Implicated in the crime.
Fitzgerald was an asserting teller
Cnder Assistant United States Treas
urer Boldenwreck. Suspicion at the
time of the theft, Feb. 20, 1907, rested on
him, but so plausible was his story and
SO intense his apparent interest in dis
covering the real culprit that interest
ceased to center in him.
Fitzgerald, however, was discharged
from the government employ for culp
able negligence in allowing the theft
to be committed. The money stolen
had been used and was tied in pack
ages, some having been marked for
destruction at Washington. Any OF
the bills would readily nave passed
anywhere except for their large de
nominations. None of the bills was
under $500 and some were of the ST.
600 and $4,000 denominations, the $10,.
600 ones predominating.
Meantime Herbert f. Young, a for
mer Chicago newspaper reporter, and
now head Of the Young secret service,
became interested in the case. His
attention was re-directed 10 Fitzger
aid. The latter upon his discharge
from the sub-treasury stated that his
whole fortune consisted of $500 In
cash and stock certificate for 1000
His wife had a S7O0 interest in the es
tate Of her mother, which was valued
at about $4,000 and was in litigation.
Fitzgerald, however, according to
Mr.. Young, embarked in speculation
on a scale not consistent with the size
OF his reputed means. There was
however, no ostentation in Fitzgeralds s
life.

Action Against Coal Railroads.

Attorney General Jackson has an
nounced at Albany that he had insti-
tuted proceedings against the various
railroad companies in New York state
and their subsidiary companies, engag-
ed in the transportation of anthracite
coal, alleging that in violation of the
so-called Donnelly anti-monopoly act,
they have effected and are carrying
out an agreement which in effect con-
stitutes a monopoly in the hard coal
business within the state, and that
such an agreement restricts the pro-
auction and regulates and fixes the
prices at which coal can be sold in the
state of New York"

THE CREW is SAFE.
Sea Still Too Rough to Reach Strand
ed Schooner on Libby Island.

Machias, Me, Nov. lon account of
a fierce northwest gale. the tug S. E.
Jones. which yesterday tried to reach
the unknown schooner stranded on
Libby island, was again unsuccessful!
today, although she made two at
tempts to get to the wreck The tug
managed to go close to Pettigrews is
land at noon and succeeded in landing
a dory containing four men. who at
low tide, will cross the bar to Libby
island, where the wreck lies. The tug
returned here.
The captain of the revenue cutter
Levi Woodbury. which is lying at an
Choir not far from the wreck, reported
that he had communicated by signals
with the keeper of the Libby Island
light and had learned that the crew of
the schooner landed in a dory on the
island and will remain at the light
house until the weather moderates.
The schooner is believed to be a Brit
ish vessel Of about 100 tons. She lies in
an upright position on the bar between
Libby and Pettigrew islands and has
a deckload of lumber.

GOING HOME TO VOTE.
Such an Exodus From the National
Capital Never Before Known. s.

Washington Nov 1-Such an exO-
dus from the national capital of voters
entitled to the right of franchise in
various states has not been known in
any political campaign since that of
1896 as has been taking place in the
last four or five days. A careful cam
vas of several executive departments
showed up to noon yesterday, that APP
proximately 300 voters had already
gone to their homes and that many
hundreds more left Washington last
night and today. 1t is estimated that
1900 more will leave for nearby states
tonight and tomorrow.
President Roosevelt, Secretary Loeb
and several White House attaches who
hold voting residences in New York
will leave Washington tomorrow night.
All members of the cabinet now are
in their respective states except Sec
retaries Wright and Metcalf. The
former failed to register in Tennessee
and the latter is confined to his resi-
dence by serious illness.
Particular interest is manifested in
Washington in the campaign of Speak
er Cannon. kilograms from the
Speaker to friends here express con-
fidence in the result of Tuesdays bal
loting, not only so far as he himself
is concerned, but also as to the Re-
publican national ticket Mr.. Cannon,
expresses the belief that the Repub-
licans will have in the House of the
61st Congress comfortable working
majority.
