That J. M. Jeter, the aged missing
bank cashier Of Geneva, Ala, is IA
Pensacola, or has been here, was the
information that reached this city last
night from Alabama points. Mr.. Jeter
disappeared over a month ago and had
in his possession at that time about
$4,000. He has never been seen since
that time.
Following the receipt OF the teIe-
gram hasty but thorough inquiry
and examination at the hotels in the
city was made but no person was reg
istered under this name and no guests
hitting the description of Jeter were
found.
POLICE WERE NOTIFIED.
An inquiry at the police station
showed that the police department had
been advised that Jeter was en- route
to Pensacola and had been asked to
lock out for him.
The information of the police de-
partment came from Atlanta, a tele-
gram stating that he had left
Atlanta for Pensacola on June 10.
Since the receipt of this advice, which
was accompanied by a description Of
the missing man, the police have been
en- the lookout for him and detectives
have been detailed to the case, but all
efforts have failed to locate him here.
The description of the missing man
is as follows: He is sixty-two years
Of age, FIVE feet six inches in height
weighs l50 pounds, has dark hair and
eyes and wears glasses when reading.
DISAPPEARED IN GEORGIA.
Mr., Jeter. who had been the cahier
Of the Citizens Bank of Geneva for
more than thirty years, disappeared
at Warm Springs, Ca, on the night
Of June II. He started to walk to the
depot, mile distant, saying that he
intended going to Macon and then to
Atlanta on business. He had more
than $4,000 in currency on his person
at the time and his relatives and
friends feared foul play as soon as he
was missed, and his disappearance is
still a mystery to his relatives and
friends, as well as to the officers, as
the accounts of the hank Of which he
was cashier are said to be absolutely
correct.
His family is one of the most proma-
nent and influential in the southeast
ern part of Alabama and no reason
for his disappearance, unless he did
meet with foul play, can be ascer-
tanned.
1t was not until July 4 that the
newspapers were appealed to in the ef-
fort to locate the missing cashier and
a liberal reward for any information as
to his whereabouts was offered by the
family. However, since that time the
papers all over the country have been
full Of the mysterious disappearance
and vigorous but futile efforts have
been made to locate him.
The later reports, however, seem TO
do away with the idea that Jeter met
with foul play, at least for some time
after he left Warm Springs, as Il
seems that he went to Atlanta, as in
tended, and left that city. The fact.
however, that he still cannot be To-
Gated only serves to deepen the mys-
terry of his disappearance.

Former Senator Scott Says None of
This Money Was Accepted For
Roosevelt's Campaign.

I'm October 1904" Mr.. Scott said,
Mr.. Perkins asked me the situation
in West Virginia and 1 told him we
had a very hard fight on for governor
and that it was doubtful whether we
could elect William o. Dawson. Mr.
Perkins said as a friend of President
Roosevelt, he would be very sorry to
see the state go Democratic and made
the contribution"
Mr.. Scott said none Of the "Har-
vester people had contributed to the
1904 campaign.
How about the Perkins contrfbu-
Well I understood that Mr.. Per-
kinss contribution was a personal
matter of his own said Mr.. Scott
because of the personal relations that
existed between him and President
Roosevelt"
WAS Mr.. Perkins at that time a
member of J. P. Morgan & Co. p" ask
ed Senator Jones.
Mr.. Scott did not know
do you know whether Mr.. Perkins
interceded with the president as +o

& Iron Company" asked Senator
Paynter.
Il don't know anything about that
matter, said the witness.
Mr.. Scott said he knew Of no opa
connected with the steel oil or heaf
trusts" who had given anything to
the campaign.
It had been the settled policy o4
George B. Cortelyou and Cornelius \
Bliss, as the heads Of the commit
tee, to make It known that no such
contributions would be received, he
said.
Ny own corporation never gave a
dollar to the campaign" he added Mr.
Scott was then a glass manufacturers
Asked about any activities of the
American Protective Tariff Lea que in
the campaign, he said the league had
furnished some campaign material but
II had been paid in cash for its work
and had never contributed directly or
indirectly to the campaign.
