Mr.. Willis L. Moore the new chief of the
weather bureau, whose commission reach
ed the city yesterday from Gray Gables,
took the oath of Office shortly after noon
yesterday and assumed his new duties
without ceremony of any kind. His first
official act was to send kilograms to all
the observers and forecasters throughout
the country informing them that he had
taken hold of the bureau according to the
direction of the President. He was at
his desk early this morning. going over
the official matters which had accumulated
somewhat during the past few days. Mr..
James r. Cook, the chief clerk, who was
acting chief of the bureau during the in
term between Professor Harrington and
Professor Moore. had a consultation with

heads of all the divisions and the chief
forecasters We're summoned and an in
formal conference about the work of the
bureau was held.

Mr.. Moore's intimate acquaintance with
all the details of the wcrk of the weather
bureau made his induction into Office COM
paratively simple and easy, and in a few
hours he had got thoroughly into harness.
He assured the chiefs of divisions and 9TH
er principal officials that he hoped to con-
tinue the system already in force and to
work tremendously with them. many of
whom he had known personally during his
former work in the service as subordi-
nate. Later in the morning he held re-
ception and greeted all of the employees,
most of whom knew him intimately. They
gave him hearty welcome into his new
office and by noon the surcharged atmos-
phere of the bureau had greatly cleared up
and all indications pointed to fair weather,
with no storm centers anywhere in sight.

Escaped Post Office Thieves Have Not
Been Caught.
NEW YORK, July 5.-Kiloran, Bushnell
and Allen. who yesterday escaped from the
Ludlow street Jail, where they We're con-
fined, pending extradition to Illinois for
the alleged robbery of the Springfield post
office. still at large.
a young man named Schumacher, known
as Spider joe" living rear the Jail, who
witnessed the departure of the prisoners
from Ludlow street Jail, is authority for
the statement that women were permitted
to ASSOCIATE with the escaped fugitives in
the reception room, where games OF taga-
telle and dominoes were played.
Spider joe asserts that he saw two
women in the reception room with the
prisoners on the night of June-23 who re-
rnained considerable time, apparently in
terested in card playing which was goir e
or at TIE time
Warden Raabe has stated that the pris-
oners We're especially guarded and locked
in their cells until the evening and were
not again permitted to emerge from their
pens until next morning. This is in direct
variance with Spider Joe's' statement,
which. if true, indicates the means by
which the prisoners may have secured the
revolvers with which they bulldozed the
keepers in effecting their escape.
The women, two in number, were again
with the prisoners in the reception room
on last Wednesday evening, and Spider
Joe" and two of his companions watched
their movements from the street for fully
two hours.
Il was not surprised he said today,
when l saw the three prisoners rush out
the door, armed to the teeth, and up to
Broome street, where they secreted. My
attention was first attracted by the noise
caused by the breaking of the haif-inch
plate glass in the door leading from the
vestibule to the warden's office, through
which they passed.

\. Sanford, but it is said he disclaims
having ever made such complaint.

Special Dispatch to the Evening Star.
The day opened with an overcast sky and
a cool breeze, which makes one feel very
much more hopeful of the success of the
encampment than did the close sultry
weather Of yesterday
Yesterday was the big day at the fair
grounds Fully 10000 people witnessed the
great sham battle. in which 1000 soldiers
contested for victory. The great grand
stand was packed to the roof. and crowds
fences and sheds. and the track was filled
TO it's capacity.
The officers of the National Rifles have
been invited to a box party by the Branch
Guards for tonight. The commissioned Off
GERS of the National Rifles will entertain
their chaperon and maids of honor at
luncheon today in the building in the fair
grounds owned by the St. Louis Club. This
reception is to be followed later by one
eron. Mrs ]. L. Morrison.
Saturday night there Is to be a grand
chaperOnes' ball at, the st. Louis Club
house, given in honor of the comm issioned
officers of the camp and other distinguished
guests. The National Rifles are the only
company whose entire membership Is in
vited. There is a great protest among the
tinction. The Rifles are solid for the
maiden drill. Bets are flying 2 to l in
favor of them. From all that can be learn
ed it seems the general opinion that If the
Rifles are beaten for second prize In the
big drill that the score will be very close.
