IDENTITY OF THIEF UNKNOWN.
Cortelyou Receives Report on Chicago Shortage.
Washington, March 25.—Mr. Bantz, assistant treasurer of the United States at Washington, has returned from Chicago, where he went to superintend the count of cash in the sub-treasury in that city in order to verify the statement that a shortage of $173,000 had been discovered. Mr. Bantz had a conference with Secretary Cortelyou, but his formal report will not be made for some days. It is believed that Mr. Bantz' report will show that the shortage actually exists and that up to this time no evidence has been secured fixing the identity of the person or persons who are responsible for it.
