NO FEVER IN THE ARMY
Precautionary Measures Taken to Pre-
vent Infection at Military Posts.

Washington. October 1.-THE war
department has received daily reports
from military oosts located near syei-
low fever infected points with view
of keeping in touch with the situation
so as to take care of the troops station
ed at those points. Up to the present
time there have been cases in the array
or among the soldiers stationed near
any of the infected centers. This I'M
munity is attributed to the fact thai
vigorous precautions were taken as
soon as the fever outbreak occurred
Every window in every building was
screened, and steps were taken TO de-
stroy all mosquitoes. and screens were
placed over water barrels and tanks
Officers of the army believe that
through these precautionary measures
yellow fever in the different southern
garrisons has been successfully
avoided.

CUNFLIF'F'E STILL MISSING
Nothing Definite Has Developed in the
Big Adams Express Robbery of
Monday

Pittsburg, October 11.-Up to mid
night nothing definite had developed in
the Adams Express robbery of Mon
day evening. What may prove an i'm
pOrtant clue as to the actions of Gun
fife was given to the detectives today
by c. G. Hoover. a reputable merchant
Of Allegheny. If Mr.. Hoover's suspi-
cions are correct, and the detectives
are inclined to believe they are, Gun
Hitfe did not leave this neighbOrhoOd
until after Tuesday evening. Mr..
Hoover, who is all ardent fisherman,
says that on Tuesday evening while
he was fishing along the banks of the
Ohio, near Allegheny, he heard behind
him hard dry cough, but could see no
one. After several repetitiOnS of the
cough he located a man whom he has
since learned answered the description
OF the missing man. He had small
mirror fixed on bush and was in
duStriOuSly cutting his hair with a pair
of clippers
The detectives think that as Cunliffe
might be expected to do the most un-
usual thing. it would not be surprising
il the man Mr.. Hover saw turns out TO
be the fugitive. According to the de-
tectives, he, could easily carry the
100000 on his person without at
tention. The package contained 1900
bills, and this number could easily be
distributed through the mans pockets
and about his person. The numbers Of
the bills are not known. The officers
think the robber will be captured
within a few days between here and
s.. Louis, Kansas City or Omaha, trav-
cling by freight,
Mrs. Cunliffe, the wife of the missing
| man, was in an EXTREMITY nervous con-
dition when seen today. She said it
was hard to believe her husband
guilty but she was unable to assign
reason for his continued absence.

SOLICITED CAMPAIGN FUNDS |
Investigation Of Charges Against Judge

REFERRED TO DEPT. OF JUSTICE
Civil Service Commission Says the
Statute of Limitations is the Only
Defense Which Can be Opposed TO
the Charge-,Judge Baker Admitted
the Facts

to the department of justice by the

reference. the commission today gave
out an official statement of the case
in which it was said: THE statutes
of limitations is the only defense which
can be opposed to the charge"
The statement gives the substance
of an examination made by the COM

Judge Baker had urged them to pay
5 Der cent. of tkeir salaries to the Re-
publican campaign fund. In the case
Of Lamar CrooDs one Of the three

money for campaign purposes, and the
witness told Judge Baker that he
could not afford to. WhereupOn
Judge Baker said to him ''You can af-
ford to do without a suit of clothes.
and make your payment" He was
urged to pay five per cent. Thereafter
the witness spoke to Postmaster Sher-
win about paying his assessment. and
said that he did not have the money
to pay. and Sherwin advanced him, ON
October Z. 1902, $50. for his assessment
which was paid by Mr.. Croops.
Martin T. Schmer. another clerk. was
urged by Judge Baker to pay an as
sessment of per cent. He was una
BILE to pay, and the postmaster loaned
him the amount, The commission re-
port says that Judge Baker admitted
the facts presented in this testimony.
The commission says that it is felt
that inasmuch as violations by others
of the civil service act occurring IN

ed against and punished it is not right
that a distinction should be made in
