that some banking institution of Chi
cago needed a large sum to tide over

000. The secret service operatives, it be
came known yesterday are working on
the theory that the money that dis
appeared from the cage of Assorting
Teller George W. FitxgeralJ. on Feb
ruary 20, was borrowed for a day or
two at the Instance of a tottering in
stitution by some employe who now
fears to restore it
Chief Wllkle and Captain Porter
would not be surprised, it Is asserted
on the highest authority, if the mis
sing money were to be restored at
any day.
For the last week the secret service
bureau has been directing nearly all
of its energy In the direction of fixing
the lndentlty of some Chicago bank or
trust company that was in an un
sound financial condition and to pre
serve its commercial life and save its
officers from cells approached some
employe of the sub-treasury and made
this proposition: "We need $17J,000
Mr a day or two to tide us over a visit
by the- bank examiner. Tou are in a
position to loan us this money with
out its being missed. Let us have the
money and we will pay you a bonus of
110.000 or so. Tou take no risk. We
arc responsible' people. It Is easy
money."
The money was taken from the
cage the federal authorities believe
under some such arrangement. Then,
before It could bo restored, It was dis
covered that there was a shortage.
The men who took it In the hue and
cry that followed, when every employe
was watched closely, was In no post
tion to return it. lie fear to do so
now. Other secret service men, how
ever, confidently believe that the
money will bo found hidden away In
some place In the sub-treasury.
in pursuance of this theory, the fi
nancial status of more than one bank
ing institution in Chicago has been
quietly Investigated.
