THE WAR INVESTIGATORS.

ONE OF the Gentlemen Chosen viii
Probably Decline to Serve.
Washington. Sept l2.-At the Whit e
House no statement was made this
forenoon as to the status of the COM
mission to inquire into the administra-
tion of army bureaus, although it was
und stood that most of the gentlemen
invited W. the president to serve on
the commission had been heard from.
Some of them however. had written
that they had the matter under consid.
GRAFTON. and it was thought to be de-
sirable to await final conclusions by all
of thoSn asked to serve before making
any announcement. 1t appears to be
accepted among high officials that
General Gordon, Mr.. Lamont and Mr..
Lincoln are not likely to accept. The
two eX-secretaries of war are very busy
men of affairs. and it is thought to be
hardly probable that they can spare
the time for the work of the commits
sion. 1t was reported that Mr.. La
mont's declination had been received,
but this. on inquiry. failed of con-
firmation. The opinion was expressed
by high officials that General Maner-
son, Colonel Sexton and DR.. Keen
might serve. AS stated, however, some
of the gentlemen have written that
they had taken the matter under ad-
vsement. and there is considerable
doubt what the result will be.
The gentlemen selected by the presi-
dent for the investigating commits
sion are as follows: Lieutenant Cen
eral J. M. Schoield, U. S. A., retired;
Lieutenant General and ex-senator
John B. Gordon. of Georgia: General
and ex-senator Charles F. Manderson.
of Nebraska: General Grenville M.
Dodge. of New York; Colonel James A.
Sexton, of Chicago. the newly elected
commander-in-ch of the G. A. R.:
ex-Secretary of War Robert T. Lin
coin. of Chicago; ex-Secretary of War
Daniel S. Lamont of New York; Presi-
dent D. c. Gilman, Of Johns Hopkins
university. of Baltimore: DR.. w. W.

Uighwaymcn Mako Big Haul,


Kansas City, Kan, Sept. 12.-Mrs
Eli Potter. a prominent woman suf-
fragist, was robbed of $4,000 by high
waymen in the outskirts of the city
Saturday night. A few months ago
the Potters' residence was destroyed by
fire and they received $4,000 insurance
money. Mrs. Potter. who does not trust
in banks, scwed the money into the
Innings of her dress. She was driving
in the outskirts of town Saturday night
when a man stepped out from the road
side and grabbed the horse. Another
man dealt her a stunning blow on the
head. When she recovered conscious
ness she found a sack drawn over her
head and the highwaymen were tear
ing and cutting her skirts. They did
not stop In their search until the whole
amount of the treasure had been se-
cured. Mrs. Potter believes the rob-
bers were negroes.
