THE LVE‘NI
CHICAGO MAKES A BID.
W'nnts the Armor-Plate Plant Bnllt
inil‘hnt City. .
Chicago, Dec; 22.——— “If the Government
decides upon constructing an armor-
plate plant Chicago will make a bid for
its location on the shores of Lake
Michigan,” said Congressman Lorimer
in an interview.
“There is a vast deal of rivalry in
tr is matter ” continued Mr. Lorimer.
‘To my certain knowledge Pittsburg,
Newport News, Philadelphia, Milwau-
kee and Waukegan are making prepa-
rations for bidding. None of them,
however, can offer the advantages that
Chicago will be able to place before the p
- Government when, the time coines.
"In this connection I will mention a“1
matter that has not heretofore been
made public. Before I introduced the
bill in Congress to let a twenty-year
contract for armor plate at $200 a ton
a. number of business men of Chicago
who did not desire to have their names
appear in this connection came to me
and told me they would donate to the
‘ Government all the land necessary pro-
viding the plant be located here. They
went further and authorized me to as-
sure the Government that for. ten
years they would make up the differ-
ence in‘ the rate-s of transportation
from here to the shipyards as _between
those from any other point asking for
the plant. This would be a great sav-
ing, and the item will have weight. The
men who made this proposition are, , .
leaders in the business enterprises of
Chicago and are also identified with the
principal railroad and steamboat inter-
ests of the country. Before I return to
Washington I shall call upon them and
learn if they are in the same mood. I
have no doubt they are.
“There is no surmising when the bill
will come up. There is considerable op-
position to what is termed the Govern-
. ment going into business. While there
are those opposed to paying the' pre-
vailing prices for armor plate, yet
these same men are averse to a Gov-
ernment plant.
~“The House is largely in favor of the
latter, but as it cannot originate the
measure the mode of procedure will be
about as follows: The Committee on
Naval Affairs will recommend'an ap-
propriation fixing the price of plate at
$400 per ton. The House 'will cut this
down to about $300. Then it will go to
the Senate, where it is hoped the ap-
propriation will be stricken out alto-
gether and a report in favor of the con- A
Struction of a plant by the Government
indorsed. Should it come back to the
House in that shape we can then get
at it, and the probable 1esult will be
its location in Chicago.’ ,
Mr. Lorimer added that the manufac-
ture of armor plate would not be the
only industry connected with the plant.
In connection with it will be an ar-
senal and the manufacture of large
and small arms. .
THIEF GOT $10,000.
Bundle of Bills Stolen from an Ex-
press Company in Columbia.
Columbia, S. 0., Dec. 22.——The police
of this city have just learned that the
office of the Southern Express Company
here was robbed of $10,000 in cash on
Sunday night. The theft was kept se-
cret by the company’s officers, who
hoped to catch the thief and recover
the money without making the affair
public. By informing the police at this
time the officers virtually confess that
they are at a loss for clews.
A stranger on Saturday evening e11-
' tered the company’ 5 office and askel a
number of'questionscf the only clerk
there. He was standing near the stove,
when the clerk went out on therstreet
for a moment. When the clerk returned
the mgn ran out of the door, jumped
-into a hack and drove rapidly away.
The clerk on making an investigation
found that the stranger had taken with
him a bundle of bills amounting to
$10,000, which was lying in the safe. He
gave chaseto the hack, but was soon
left behind.
Superintendent Sader, when informed
of the robbery, secured a special train
and made the run from Charlotte to
this place with all possible speed. With
him was a force of‘detectives, who at
once went to work. Seemingly they
have accomplished nothing.
The thief is believed. to be one of the
members of an organized gang, as on
Sunday Allen’s jewelry store was rob-
bed by a party of three or four men.
[all strangers.
This is the first big express robbery
that has occurred in the State, and
every effort will be made to capture the
thief and his friends, who, it is be
lieved, were in waiting outside while
he was in the office engaging the ex-
press company’s clerk in conversation.
