An examination of Col. "William P. Tucker by the medical officers of the army retiring- board In Chicago yesterday afternoon showed that the assistant paymaster general was physically unfit to remain in the service. He himself estimated that he was eighty pounds below weight, and the surgeons, passing over him from head to foot, unexpected weaknesses. He expressed no surprise and admitted he was probably incapacitated permanently. The examiners did not go into the causes of the conditions discovered. Such subjects will be left to the entire retiring board, which will not consider Col. Tucker's case before tomorrow. The medical men wrote a report of their findings, which will be delivered sealed to the board when the case is called for the hearing of evidence.

Hartly returned he found both boy and

$300 in money gone.

The police were notified, but could

find no clue to the lad's whereabouts. He did not leave East Chicago on the

is in hiding or has gone to Hammond

pounds in weight, brown haired and wore a cap and automobile coat when

last seen.
