CASE OF cRoxDALE
INVESTIGATION FAILS TO DISCOVER
OTHERS OF LIKE NATURE.
Census Clerks Work for Representa-
tives at Night, but That Is Not
Cause for Removal.

The investigation being carried on in the
census Office to discover clerks other than
James II. Croxdale who are employed in
the government departments in the day
and work In the census office at night has
not developed In finding other cases of that
kind up to this afternoon. Mr.. Croxdale
has been given the privilege of resigning
his position in the census office. but up to
this afternoon he had not sent in his resig-
nation.
The director of the census has given It
out that it is against the policy of this Of
flee to employ clerks who are already hold
ing government positions. 1t is known that
several of the clerks there work for rep
resentatiyes during the evening. but that
Is not regarded as conflicting with the rules
OF the office, and win not be cause for re-
movaI
One who works for a representative In
the evening may be receiving pay from the
government for that service but his rela-
tion with the representative is a personal
one and his name need not appear on any
pay roll. The representative may merely
certify to having paid a certain sum for
clerk hire and he pays that out at his own
pleasure.
Scientists Receive No Pay.
There are number Of instances in
which men employed in the scientific
cial work for the census office, but it is
declared at that office they receive no pay,
and all they get is the credit and honor of
having their names connected with the
census work
Inc publication in The Star yesterday of
the 1act that an employe of a government
oepartment worked in the census office at
night caused great deal Of gossip among
the clerks today regarding the outside con-
nectlon or the clerks. Many express re-
gret that Mr.. Croxdale, who is in the office
OF the auditor Of the Post Office Depart
lnent, Will have to relinquish his night po-
srion, as he Is regarded as efficient and
ambitious.
The reason for declining to permit em-
ployes OF the departments to hold places In
the census office at night Is twofold. 1t
Is not thought they can do as efficient work
after having been at work all day, and 1t
is regarded as cause for complaint on the
part OF people who are capable and yet
cannot get even one opportunity to draw
salary from the government.

Major Sylvester. the superintendent of

missioners the trial papers in the cases of
Privates c. 0. Turner and E. r. Martin,
both Of whom were found guilty on charges
of gross neglect of duty. 1t was charged
that Officers Turner and Martin sat down
and slept while on duty the morning of
July %.
Lieut.. w. w. Jordan, the night inspector,
was the prosecuting witness at the trial
of the officers He stated that at about
4:3o O'Clock the morning of the day speci-
fled he found the two defendants in what
is known as Loeffier's old park, located be-
tween 1st and Kirby streets and street
and New York avenue northwest. Private
Martin, he said, was sitting on the ground
with his back leaning against tree asleep.
Private Turner was just the other side of
the tree from him lying down on his right
side with newspaper under his leg. and
he was asleep also. Lieut.. Jordan said he
allowed the officers to sleep for five min
utes and then woke them up.
In defending themselves the officers stat
ed that they had learned from quite num-
Der Of people that milk had been stolen by
four Or five boys who had no fixed place Of
residence. They also said they had learned
that the boys went into Loeffler's lot for
they had stolen. A Mr.. Cissell. they said,
who lives across the street, had seen the
boys in the lot. The officers claim they
went to the lot with the fixed purpose Of
apprehending these boys. On account of
the extreme heat they sat down upon arriv-
ing there.
'On that beat on previous occasions"
said Oncer Turner, we have almost had
to fight each other to keep awake On this
morning We had had some excitement to
keep us on the go all the time. We were
Just so much overcome that we sat down.
1 had not slept for forty-eisht hours"
In forwarding the papers to the Commits
sioners Major Sylvester states that general
ly speaking the officers have good records
and make proper application Of their abil-
tiles. He regrets exceedingly that the
negligence occurred. and recommends that
the finding Of the trial board be approved,
except that the officers be fined SO each
instead Of $40 each. as recommended by the
board. Major Sylvester also recommends
that the officers be warned that hereafter.
when exhausted. they should report the
fact to their lieutenant In order that they
may be afforded relief.

FOR THE CANADA CUP.
Chance for the Challenger to Win in
Race Today.

CHICAGO, August 13.-Today's race-the
third in the International yachting contest
for the Canada's cup-was anticipated with
no little anxiety by the friends Of Cadillac.
the defender. The triangular course used
on Saturday was to be sailed again and
only twelve-mile breeze was coming out
of the south. There was not much sea,
and conditions were considered favorable
for the Canadian boat, although both
yachts were designed for just such
weather.
Invader now is held in far higher esteem
as a dangerous rival since it's decisive VIC
tory yesterday, and the possibility Of the
challenger lifting the cup has been the
chief topic Of conversation. When the
Canadian boat came into port ten days ago
it was sized up by the talent as a mice
yacht" and undoubtedly faster than the
ordinary thirty-fve footer but only few
believed 1t would be really dangerous
rival for Cadillac, the pride of Detroit, and
the cup committees selection from the nine
yachts entered in the Chicago Yacht Clubs
trial races.
During the early morning it appeared
probable that the weather was to be a
repetition of yesterdays, which already Is
known as Invader weather"
It is rumored that should Invader be sue

pared to hand Commodore George Gooder-
ham a challenge for the year.
Each side is said to admit it's boat is over
the limit.

ton, Las a.m.-The race started with an
unfortunate occurrence. which caused flags
of protest to be raised from both yachts.
Cadillac crossed the line at IL am on the
port tack. Invader following few seconds
later amid the cheers of spectators on
shore Invader crossed on starboard tack
but so close were the rivals that this ma
neuver forced the Detroiter to come about
AS she was right on the buoy, Invader
fouled her, running on Cadillac's starboard
quarter.
Captain Jarvis hoisted the protest flag
and Skipper Thompson Of Cadillac did like
wise.
While Invader had the right Of way. he
ing on starboard tack, it seems Cadillac
may have q protest on her part, as Invader
was forcingiher on the buoy.
At 11:14;36 Cadillac. after being spoken
by the judges boat, turned back.
At IL 20 Invader came about on mort
tack, ran to o,fCadNac and announced that
the Detroiter hadIfbeen disqualified Nv the
judges. Commodore Shaw, who w fol-
lowing on the yacht Truant, came up, how
ever, and ordered thompson to proceed
over the course.

taken and started In pursuit Of Invader,

a protest against Invader. When he start

Thompson to run the race and bring up the

Many of the Strikers Have Gone TO
Independent Mills.
PlTTSBURG, Pa, August 13-The best
estimate Of the number of men who went
out on the three strike orders place the fig
ure at 10000. That number are not idle
now, however, as thousands Of the men
have gone to Independent mills or found
work In other places. No accurate figures
on the number now idle are possible. The
number that obeyed the final call Of Presi-
dent Shaner Is roughly placed at 1900, but
all the figures conflict and are unreliable
where mills were only partly crippled or
the men still wayer in their allegiance to
their employers.
Today the strikers are gaining strength
at Mckeesport and Wheeling, while at all
other points the manufacturers are holding
their own and are planning resumptfons
here and at some Of the outlying tin plants
with non-union men.
