TAFT SURE 7. R.
WANTS HIS JOB
President, However, Doesn't Want
Another Term and VIII Give
Way To Teddy"

BEVERLY, Mass. Sept. 15.-Presi-
dent William III. Taft has reached the
conclusion that Theodore Roosevelt
Is laying his plans to be the next
president OF the United States. He
IL determined that 30 far as the pres
ent incumbent OF the white house Is
concerned Col. Roosevelt shall have
a clear field. Nj. Taft does not want
another term.
While the above 10 not an antbor-
lied statement from President Taft.
II comes from a source close enough
70 the president to have q distinct
news value. The present attitude OF
President Taft has been made sppar-
emit during the past few days by the
activity against the present move
ment Of Col Roosevelt.
II can be stated authoriatively that
President Taft will make no public
statement nor make an offensive
movement against Col. Roosevelt
and the lstter's projects, no matter
what tactics may be adopted by the
latter. ''Dignified silence" sums up
both the defensive and offensive
measures that will be employed by
the president. He has made this
known In no uncertain terms to
those OF his friends, who, during the
past few days have repeatedly urged
him TO go after" his predecessor
The presidents advisors believe that
the attitude adopted by Col. Roose
welt on his recent western tour was
especially designed to draw fire from
the chief executive. Self-appointed
scouts are reporting to the admins
tration forces on Col. Roosevelt's
western invasion, but President Taft
has made 1t clear that he regards the
Nominations OF his predecessor more
in sorrow than In anger.

From the time OF the returning OF
the suppressed indictment on Feb.
ruary II, Fitzgerald was never out OF
sight OF secret service men when
awake, and, while he slept, operatives
were on guard at his home or hotel
Meanwhile all his financial transac'
tons we're checked up closely and
certain investments traced to him.
United Stetes District Attorney Ed
win w. Sims refuses to say what
prompted his order today for Fitz
gerald's arrest, but declared that he
felt sufficient evidence was In hand to
warrant such procedure.
The subtreasury loss occurred on
February 20, 1907. The money was all
in $1,000 and $4,000 bills. Federal
officers throughout the country were
brought into the hunt for the missing
money. For three years, all persons
found to have $1,000 and $4,000 bills
were subjected TO open or covert Sc
curity by secret service agents.
Prestol Money is Conc.
The $4,000 disappeared from Fitz
geralds cage in the sub-treasury
When questioned regarding the dis
appearance Of the money, Fitzgerald
said that he had gone out to lunch
and that when he returned the money
was gone. He was closely questioned
at the time and was Swallowed fol
months.
A year after the robbery occurred
Fitzgerald was arrested by a private
detective agency, acting for william
Boldenweck. the sub-treasurer. The
charge was not pressed, however, anC
Fitzgerald instituted damage suits
against Boldenweck and the detec
tive agency.
Mr.. Boldenweck, who is TO be sue
ceeded by Len Small of Kankakee,
ILL.,, as assistant treasurer In charge
Of the Chicago sub-treasury, sent hit
resignation to President Taft on Sep
TENDER 8. Congress sometime ago re
lieved Mr.. Boldenweck OF any re
sponsibility in the loss, which ther
fell on the government.
Fitzgerald Protests Innocence.
Fitzgerald declared today that hi
had been prosecuted by the govern
ment secret service men from the
hour that he reported the loss OF the
money from his cage. He Is very bit
ter because Of the constant surveil
lance which he claims has violated
even the most sacred secrets of hi
home life.
Fitzgerald is still in jail, having
been unable to secure the $50, 900 bono
required by Judge lands.
Fitzgerald declared that he had :

money and Is willing TO tell Capt. Per

UNDER ARREST
District Attorney Says He Has Evil
dence Now To Convict Former
Teller.

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.--In spite Of
to press the charge against Geo. w.
Fitzgerald, former asserting teller in
the Chicago sub-treasury. when he
was arrested q couple Of years ago
In connection with the mysterious
disappearance Of $4,000 from the
sub-treasury, he was apprehended
again on Wednesday, charged with
the theft.
Fitzgerald was arrested on a bench
warrant, based on an indictment re-
turned secretly by a federal grand
jury on February II, 1910. The exist
ence of the indictment was sup
pressed until today. Three days after
the indictment was secretly returned,
II was announced that the statute OF
limitations operated to stop possible
criminal action in the case.
Coincidently with this ruse, secret
service men were detailed to watch
Fitzgerald constantly and make n
rigid investigation Of the former tel
ler's financial interests and affairs.
Discoveries made by these operatives
resulted in the order for Fitzgeralds
arrest.
Marshal Eberstein. chief OF special
agents OF the department OF justice
and Deputy United States Marshals
Walter Wainwright and J. T. Buck
ner, arrested Fitzgerald at his insur-
ance brokerage Offices in IaSailest..
Just as the former subtreasury teller
was leaving for home.
Fitzgerald was frst taken to United
States Marshal Hoy's office, where
he was searched. He was then hand
cuffed and placed in a cell. Fitzgerald
objected to the search. and vas
handled somewhat roughly by the
marshals. After an hours imprison-
ment, Fitzgerald was taken before
Judge X. NJ. lands. He was formal
ly arraigned and his bail was fixed
at $4,000. Being unable to give bond
In this sum. he was taken to tail.
The indictment against Fitzgerald
az read In court specifies four counts.
Three charge embezzlement and the
fourth charges larceny. Under these
charges a maximum sentence of 10
years In a federal prison, or a fine
equal to the sum embezzled, 10 the
penalty on conviction.
Promotes Big Companies.
Attaches of the district attorneys
once declare that since the disap-
pearance of the $4,000 from the
sub-treasury Fitzgerald has done the
following things:
Organized the Illinois Car Manu-
featuring Co, with $4,000 plant at
Hammond, Ind.
Organized the Illinois Bolt, Nut &
Forging Co., with a large plant In

Dealt extensively in stocks and
