NOT THE ROBBERS.
Suspects Arrested NJ ~. Joseph Turn Out
to Ne Craoksmep.


KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Sept. e7.-The
police thought for n while last night
that they had . good clue TO tho Mis-
souri, Pacific train robbers when q tel
egram came from st. Joseph saying
that three men had been arrested with
several hundred dollars In burned and
blackened money In their possession.
Chief Hayes sent John Halpin, In.
spector of detectives, to 81. Joseph TO
examine the suspects, but Chief Hayes
made up his mind later that tho 81.
Joseph mon were wanted at Glen
wood, Iowa, for q bank robbery. This
afternoon n telegram from st. Joseph
announced that Inspector Halpin and
the railway and express detectives
were positive the men wero not tho
robbers.
One reason why Chief Hayes did not
believe that tho st. Joseph arrests
were implicated in the train robbery
wa because Of better clues which he
has In Kansas City.
Notwithstanding the strong alibi
that John Kennedy establishes for his
whereabouts last Friday night when
| the Missouri Pacific express car was
blown up, the police refuse to believe
that he had nothing TO do with the
crime. The officers who arc at work on
tho case, and there are many OF them,
say they do not believe that Kennedy
was one of the Ave men who actually
did the work, but they believe that he
knew all about It. They believe that
he came to Kansas City Friday night,
met some Of tho real robbers, got his
share Of the booty and divided with
other outside helpers. Chief Hayes
himself clings to this impression and
declares that train robbiny will not be
broken up hero until John Kennedy
Is disposed Of. by the police, Ken
ncdy Is regarded as a very common
sort Of law breaker. lie Is not cred
tied with being very cunning, but
they say, no Is bold, has much assur
ance and has hackers who really ar
deep and cunning.

SUBCOMMITTEE AT TAMPA.
They Fail to Unearth Any Wrong
Done by Army officials.

Tampa, Fla, Oct. 19.-The sub-eommt-
tee of the war investigating committee,
composed of Maj Gen. A. Med. McCook
and Col. James A. Sexton, with Stcnogrn-
pher Wa,ter ]. King, arrived this morn
ing and proceeded al once to make a thor
ough investigation into all of the alleged
wrongs committed by the war officials
while the soldiers were encamped here and
during the embarkatlon of the Shafter ex-
petition to Santiago.
The committee spent the entire day visit
ing the camp sites and inspecting the ia
clities of shipping at Port Tampa, under
the supervision of Capts. Brown and
Hutchins of the quartermaster's depart
ment They made a thorough inspection
of the camps, of the storehouses and of
the offices used by the army officials They
were agreeahly surprised at the location of
the various camps and of the facility The
place possessed as a magnificent shipping
point for the West Indies and Cuba. The
only apparent wrong and delay commit
ted by any one during the Shafter eXpedi-
ton has already been explained in Wash
ington before the committee, which is en-
tirely satisfactory. The cause of that de-
Law was due entirely 10 a message receiv-
ed by Gen. Shafter from Admiral Samp-
son that a Spanish fleet was between Ha-
vana and Port Tampa, and the expedition
was accordingly delayed until an investi-
CATION could be made.
The subcommittee has been in confer
ence this morning with Col. j. B. Ander-
son, inspector general of the Florida state
trooDs. The committee is intensely earn
est. and is probing everything to the bot
tom, but 1t has signally failed to find a
thing that was moi in accordance with
right and justice. After taking lunch with
Col. Anderson. the committee departed to-
night for Jacksonville.
