ROBBERS ACTIVE SUNDAY.
Residences Of s. T.. Miller and II. S.
Noise Entered and ValuabIcs Sto.
len.

The robber, or robbers, who have
peen very active in the city for the
past several weeks were again on their
raids Sunday afternoon and evening
two residences having been visited and
robbed during the day. The first house
entered was that of Mr.. S. E. Miller
ITO West Calhoun street, at some
time between and 6 o'clock Sunday
afternoon, and the othen was that of
Mr.. X. s. Noise on Salem avenue be-
tween and 10 o'clock in the evening
ia each place the depredator got away
with the goods.
Mr.. Miller and other members of
his family were out riding in a car
during the afternoon. On their re-
turn shortly after o'clock Mrs. Mil
Ter noticed that the watch, which she
kept on her bureau, was gone, and
further investigation revealed the fact
that some one had gone through a
trunk an6i bureau in their room and
taken Mrs. Miller's pocketbook with
two or three dollars in it and Mr..
Millers sons bank, which contained
about three dollars. Mrs. Miller's
watch was also stolen, although some
cheap jewelry, which she kept in her
bureau, had been gone through but not
taken off. The thief made his en-
trance to the house by breaking
thrugh screen window, the wooden
slat on which the screen was moved
up and down being torn away. Part
OF the slat was left lying on the floor,
and 1t was in this way the raiders en-
TRANCE and exit was determined, as the
screen was carefully replaced in the
window. Everything had been care
fully replaced, so that had the watch
not been gone 1t is doubtful If the
theft would have been discovered un-
til later. Mr.. Miller had his watch in
his trousers pocket on a chair in the
room. but the watch escaped the
thief's notice..
Mr.. and Mrs. Noise went out call
ing between 8 and 10 o'clock and It
was during this time that their house
was visited by the thief. Entrance
was made through the screen window
into the pantry. Mrs. Noises pocket
book with three dollars in it was gone.
but nothing else seemed to be miss
ing. The thief must evidently have
been looking tor money solely, as a
handsome cameo brooch which was
lying on the bureau was left unmolest-
ed. while a single copper in the Jewell
ry case was taken.

there today by the war department.
Between 10000 and $4,000 add:-
tlonal troops will thus be added to
the border forces. National Guard
troops there will number approx
imately $4,000 and the total of all
troops on the border or in Mexico
will be ITS, 900.
Secretary Baker made a formal an
houncement that the troop movement
mad nothing whatever to do with the
Mexican situation as such and was
solely to relieve thousands of troops
now held in mobilization camps only
because they lack few recruits to
bring units up to fixed minimum
strength
War department officials decided ON
their action because the troops are
restive in camp and there seemed TO
De no stimulus to recruiting while
there was no prospect Of movement
to the border. They now expect most
OF the regiments will be filled before
the troops leave.
secretary Baker today made public
Il letter to a correspondent whose
name was not disclosed, who hal
suggested that the government should
discharge State soldiers who desired
to return to their business careers.
The secretary wrote:
"A call to arms upon any body Of
men In the country, except the regular
army, who make profession of the
military life. would inevitably inter-
rupt business, professional and per-
sonal careers. and it is impossible to
imagine any situation In which the or
ganized militia or National Guard of
the several States could be summoned
into the federal service without hard
ship and Inconvenience. and yet both
the constitution of the United States
and the laws made pursuant thereto
recognize these militia and National
Guard units as the secondary reliane e
of the government for the protection
of the interests of the United States
and the lives of the citizens of tho
country.
THE department regrets these in
conveniences and hopes that the
emergency will rapidly disappear and
that there will be such restoration
of order and security on the frontier
as will permit the speedy return Of
these citizen soldiers to their several
civilian pursuits. In the. meantime
this department has taken steps to
mitigate and relieve as far as possible
the unusual and exceptional hardships
which have arisen in classes especially
subject to distress by reason of the
service demanded. To the extent that
that can be done in fact it will be
done, but the primary consideration
must be the safety Of our border and
the preservation and protection of the
lives Of our citizens there.
at will be a source of great happi~
ness to me when full relief can be
given to these men who have placed
themselves subject to this call of duty,
and in the meantime 1 am filled with
admiration for the spirit with which
the militia has met the call, and with
which they are performing an import.
