ACCUSED OF
A BIG THEFT
SUB-TREASURY MYSTERY CLEARS
Lobs of fil 7S,900 in Bills of Urge De
nomination Laid to Former
Assorting: Teller.
Chicago, Aug 25. The mysterv
of the theft of $175,000 from the
United States Sub-Treasury a year
and a half age, one of the largest
losses the Government has ever suf
fered in this manner, is believed to
have been solved by the arrest of
George W. Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald was an assorting teller
under Assistant Treasurer William
Boldenweck. Suspicion at the time
of the theft, February 20, 1907. rest
ed on him, but so plausible wns his
story and so Intense his apparent in
terest in discovering the real culprit
that Interest cuused to center on him.
Fitzgerald was discharged from
the Government employ for culpable
negligence In allowing such a theft
to be consummated under his very
oyes. The money stolen had been
used and was tied in packages, some
of which had been marked for de
struction at Washington. Any of
them would readily have passed any
where except for their large denomi
nations. None of the bills was under
$500, and some were of $5000 and
$10,000 denominations, the $10,000
ones predominating.
When Fltsgerald was discharged
no declared he was worth but $1600
but recently he has been investing In
valuable real estate and speculating

Three Steamers Will Ply 0 Snake.
Lewlston, Idaho, Aug. 28. Ar
rangements have been made for the
resumption of the steamboat service
oti the Snake river between Rlparla
ana lewiston. It is announced that
the Lewlston and Spokane will again
oe placed on the run and another
steamer, probably the Mountain Gem
will De added to the fleet. The origi
nal purpose of the O. R. & N. Com
pany was not to place the boats In
nomtc uBiuie uciouer, ana it was
also the view that the two boats of
the company could handle the bust
ness. The change of plans Is due to
the fact that the results of the har
vest have shown that the service of
three boats will be necessary to han
die the grain crop that is piling into
the warehouses. Another Influence
on the decision to begin the service
at an early date is the fact that much
of the grain already in the ware
houses has been sold, while in past
years the selling season came later
and there was no demand for early
snipping facilities. The prevailing
high prices havs brought the present
condition about.
About 85 per cent of the crp Is
marketed on the south side of the
Snake river and above Lewlston, so
can only be reached by the boats,
since the new railroad follows tbs
north bank.
Robber Robbed by Farmer.
New York, Aug. 25. Raymond D
Tuttle, a farmer of Lincoln Park,
N. J., was "held up" by two high
waymen, and in consequence one of
them la poorer by a gold watch and
$25, whloh Tuttle will hold as the
spoils. He was returning from Pat
erson when the two men leaped Into
his wagon and commanded him to
disgorge the contents of his pockets.
Instead, the farmer struck one of the
men, knocking him over the dash
board, and the horses trampled on
mm. As the animals continued to
speed along, Tuttle continued to fight
the other one. Within 100 yards of
his home he tore most of the high
wayman s clothes off and hurled htm
Into the road.
Later Tuttle searched the clothes
and In a waistcoat pocket found the
money and watch. The later Ib
worth $50.

HIGHER RATES ON
FRlintHPMENTS
SHIPPERS NOTIFIED OF ADVANCE
Will (Jo lots Operation Sept. 13
Means Raise in Rates for Frnlt
Ronled Over X. P. from Mere.
Fruit growing dlstriota in Washing
ton have received word from the
Northern PaclHo that higher rates for
shipments will go into effeot next
month aud the announcement has
caused a big stir at fruit shipping
points those. hether similar raise
is contemplated on other railroada in
the norhwest is not jet known, but
fruit routed from this aection over
the Northern Paoitlo will undoubtedly
be subjected te its piocortion of the
higher rate. A dispatch from North
Vaklma telling of the contemplated
raise in rates is as follows:
Clyde R. McKee, secretary of the
Frelt Shippers' Association here, haa
received a letter from R. P Ober, of
tho Northern Pacific railroad refriger
ator car service, saying that an ad
vance in fruit rates is to be made and
that it will cost as much to ship from
nere to Minneapolis aa to New York.
lbe rate to Cbloago is 92 1-2 cents.
but it will be tl. The rate to Minne
apolis is 75 cents and will be f 1. The
rate to Fargo is 00 cents and the new
rate will be 75 cunts. The rata in
Billings is CO cents aud the new rate
will be 70 oeuts. The rate to Butte is
GO cents aud the new rate will be G5
oents.
To add to the situation the an
nouncement of the new rate, which
is to go into effeot September 13, in
cludes a statement that hereafter
when apples are included In mixed
oarload lota the load must weigh at
least 21,000 pounds instead of 20,000
pounds.
The Northwest Fruit Distributors'
Association, which haa its offices In
Fargo, N. D., has asked the Yakima
growers in a telegram to Mr. McKee
to send a representative to a meeting
of protest to be held In St. Paul Au
gust 25. Shippers will undoubtedly
protest vigorously against the new
schedule.
Within the last few days criticism
of tbe refrigerator oar service has
been made and Yakima shippers have
been asking for a five-day sohedule to
St. Paul. Cars used in tbe valley aa
far up as Toppenish and Wapato ate
iced in Pasco and a good part of the
ice is lost. There ia now oar shortage
at Sunnyslde. The newa of the in
crease in rates added to these things
will make the situation strained.
Wenatcliee Shippers Aronsed.
The first newa that tbe railroads
contemplated laislng the freight rate
on fruit reached Wenatohee last Fri
day through letters reoelved from
shippers In tbe middle west and the
commercial club immediately called a
meeting which was attended by prom
inent fruitgrowers and business men
in the valley to diousa tbe matter and
determine if possible what the result
would be. It waa also ascertained
that tbe fruitshippera in the middle
west have made arrangements with tbe
railroad officials to hold a meeting In
St. Paul on September 25,. when the
matter will be thoroughly discussed
and both aides presented with a view
of inducing the company to withdraw
their action.
It is understood that other fruit
seotions in this'state and in the west
are taking the matter op through
their commercial cluba and other or
ganizations with a view to sending a
representative to tbe meeting at St.
Paul and it was conoluded that it
would be to tbe best interest of Wen
atohee valley to have a representative
at tbe meeting also.
It is said that tbe new rate means
an increase in tbe freight rate of 25
per cent to ajl points aa far east as
Urand Forks, 15 per cent to St. Paul
and 10 per cent to Chicago tbe rates
to go into effect ou September 1.
These rates will do much to lessen the
profits of tbe Wenatohee valley fruit
growers aud the commercial club feels
that it is tbe hundreds of fruitgrow
ers who have just started orobards in
the lata two or three years that will
suffer tbe most, as it takes about four
or five years for orobards to bring in
any reasonable profit.
Yakima Shippers Protest.
At a special meeting at the Wash
ington hotel last Saturday tbe mem
bers of the Yakima Volley Fruit Ship
pers' Association decided to make a

Tbe shippers appointed a committee
to draw up a protest and this will be
wired to the msnuger of tbe North
western Fruit Distributors at Faigo,
N'. D , tomorrow. Tbis protest will
be presented by tbe manager at a
meeting of fruit shippers August 25
in St. Paul. Tbe Yakima shippers
found themselves unable to send a
personal representative to this oonfer
euce, as all the nieu familiar with the
situation are busy.
