TWO LOCAL BOYS AIID DOG "GINGER" WITH ARMY TROOP

John Whisnan and Fred Beal, Aged 14, Formerly of Richmond, Are Mascots for the Tenth Infantry. if' tTHOUGHT TEXAS "WILD AND WOOLY" Youngsters Expected to See . Real Live Indians and Cowboys by the Hundreds Are Disappointed. (Palladium Special) San Antonio, Tex., March 18. When the Tenth infantry loft Tort Benjamin Harrison to come to San Antonio, two Indianapolis boys, John Whisnan and Fred Beal, formerly of Richmond, Ind., each aged about fourteen yean old, and the latter's dog . "Ginger", boarded the troop train. . Both expected to see real live Indians and cowboys by the hundreds when they arrived here, but above all, so they say, they wanted to attend the Battle of Flowers, an animal fete , which takes place on the 21st of April. Whisnan appears to be the more precocious of the two and talks Interestingly of plans the two formulated when they heard the troops were to come from Indianapolis to' this city. - At first they were not Inclined to bring "Ginger" but young Beat put up the argument that they might have to detrain at some unexpected place In the uninhabited west, and In such an event "Ginger" would be useful to chase buffalo, antelope. Jack rabbits and such other animals as might camp on the trail of the two lads. "Ginger" does not look like a buffalo dog, nor does he have the speed points necessary in giving antelope a chase. He . weighs about ten pounds and appears to be a mixture of Scotch terrier with several other blood lines worked in. Since arriving In this city the two boys and the dog have vibrated betwMt th army camn and the down tion Whisnan admitted that the distance from here to Indianapolis would be too much of a walk for the dog. Both declare if the soldiers are sent Into Mexico that It Is their intention to stick with the Tenth Infantry, either as hoodooes or mascots, and that In event an opportunity offers they will go on to California. So far they have not seen a cowboy-nor encountered an Indian, but they are quite sure both of these are here somewhere since they have read about them in a great many books and have seen the real pictures In moving pictures In the Indiana capital.

WATrHMAIl ROUTS GOTHAMMILITIA Breaks Up War Game When He ShGots in 'Air. and - Calls for Police. New York, March 18. No war correspondents accompanied companies B and M or the Twenty-Third regiment of the national guard when they marched out to Crow Hill from tho armory, Bedford ' and Atlantic avenues, Brooklyn, for scout practice. So it is pretty hard to find out what happened, but if you say "night watchman" to a member of either company he wants to fight on the spot. The problem set for Captain Matthew G. Addison of B conipauy and Captain Edward Hodges of'M company was this: B was to conceal itself somewhere in tho Crow Hill neighborhood and keep under cover until M. searching for it. was ' close enough to bo wiped out by an ambush volley. M's task was to find out where B was and get into position to wipe it off the map by a miniature sledge. Company B made a long detour and took position on a knoil ba'ck of squadron C armory, .which - Is -within shouting distance of Eastern parkway and Bedford avenue. Company M went out to the sparsely settled 'district by way of New York avenue and Crown street and broke up into scouting squads. One of them under. Lieutenant RobIn, undertook to investigate, a row of unfinished flats which was only 100 yard or so. from the hiding, place of company M. Robin and his men approached stealthily, taking advantage of the shadows and crept along the building. Tho nlgtitwatchman, who was unaware that 140 amateur soldiers were prowling In the vicinity, took the lead pipe thieves. Judging by the number of men in Lieutenant Robin's squad, he made up his mind that he Ing to summon help, he lifted his revolver toward the sky and fired three shots In quick succession, meantime letting out a long-drawn Hibernian yell of -Police." What happened then Is the subject of the story which It makes the militiamen mad to hear about. It is dis tinctly untrue, take it from them, that both companies charged madly in opposite directions, the objective point being Coney Island and of the other. Brooklyn bridge, or that many of the men were lost and wandered in circles out on the marshes pretty nearly all night. The official version is that the firing of the shots "led very properly to a mutual discovery of the opposing parties and put an end to the problem." HALE THE SPEAKER Elmer' E. Hale, living south of the city, the superintendent of the Wayne county temperance league will address the Sunday school department of St. Paul's Lutheran church . this morning. His subject will be in keeping with the theme of the day temperance. . All members of the school apt their friends arc requested to at tend. ' .

U. S. AND ENGLAND ARE TO ARBITRATE

Treaty Is Drafted and Will - Be . Submitted to the Senate Shortly. (American News Service) Augusta, Ga., March 18. President Taft will submit the arbitration treaty just negotiated between this country and Great Britain to the senate during the session stnd strongly urged its ratification. The plan was announced here today. This treaty is now before the British parlliueut and has so far been cordially received by that body. For the first time in the history of the United States or of Great Britiain a treaty has been successfully nego tiated which refers all questions of national honor and the acquisition of territory to arbitration. This seemed at once an impossible undertaking. Now, however, the state departments of the two governments have drafted such a measure r;d it is ready for ratification. The president thinks this treaty the most advanced step ever taken by two great nations toward guaranteeing permanent peace. In all previous treaties only armaments and minor differences were subjected to consid eration. Under this instrument, however," all questions of whatever nature may be passed upon by arbiters. The president played golf again this morning, returning to his hotel to re ceive a committee from the Alabama legislature. Later in the afternoon he expects to visit the ball grounds and watch the Boston nationals at prac tlce. MOTHER IS DYING! S0IIR III- JAIL Pitiful Circumstance in Case of Harry Burgess NowServing Sentence. About two hours before Harry Burgess, now confined at the county jail, serving an eleven day sentence for public intoxication, was notified that his mother was critically ill at Reid Memorial hospital, he had a visit from some of his friends, who in a joshing manner, told him that had he no,been afraid to go home in the dark on the night of his arrest, he would not now be in custody. The man was taken to the hospital by turnkey , Frank Demaree on Saturday afternoon and allowed to spend some time with his mother, which may be the last time he will ever see her alive. She is about seventy years' old and hospital authorities stated on Sat urday evening that there had been little if any change for the better in her condition, which is regarded as critical. A week ago Friday Burgess was arrested on a charge of intoxication. Upon the visit of his friends so shortly before he received the sad news of his mother's condition, they told that he would not go home with them, they intimating that they were in the same condition as he, because he was afraid of the dark. The police found him on the street and arrested him. Burgess is a 'blacksmith and his. friends declare only a periodical drinker. MORRA WAS WITNESS Camorrist Held the Court I r Room Spellbound. ,i r I ? (American News Service) , Viterbo, March 18. After, a day frought with dramatic incidents while the court room was held spellbound by the recital of Nicolo Morra, the camorra trial of Enrico Alfano, head of the society, and his associates adjourned this afternoon until Tuesday. Weak from the ordeal on the stand, his eyes red from weeping and his voice hoarse from shouted denials Morra almost had to be carried from the court house to the monastery prison. .Morra was on the stand all day. lie made specific charges against several magistrates of Naples, charging them with assisting the Carabaniers to gather false evidence against the camorrists. At this point President Bianchi of the assize court, halted the trial to order that the public officials accused by Morra be summoned to refute the charges against them. There were times when Morra engaged in wordy tilts with the judge and Cavalier Sante Rie. the crown's advocate. Some times Morra shrieked and at others his voice sank to a whisper. The witness denied that he had been guilty of forging bills of exchange for personal gain, saying that he had acted as business agent fro deputy Bonavoglia. a member of the Italian congress. "But you forged a passport for the purpose of going to America ostensibly on business,' but really to accompany women recruited In Naples to live lives of shame in cities of the United States." said , the court. went to America for any purpose." "Morra will probably continue tes tifying on Tuesday,

COOK'S TELEGRAM T BE For President Taft's Delay in Placing His Signature to The Peary Bill. Although it is not belived in official circles at Washington that President Taft will refuse to-sign the Peary bill which will retire him with the rank of J rear admiral witi an annuity of $0,000 having only delayed placing his signature to the bill because of more press-! ing matters, yet this feeling of confidence that he will sign the measure, is not held by the friends of Dr. Frederick S. Cook, the alleged fake discoverer. Just prior to the closing of the last session of congress, Dr. Cook gave out while in this city a text telegram, which he had sent to the President from Omaha. In this lengthy message he counseled the President not only to delay but to refuse to sign the measure. The reasons be set forth in the telegram wre that Peary's record as an explorer, an agent of the gov-. ernment and as a moral man, should be fullyinvestigated. Not only did Cook make , serious charges against Peary's morality, but even more serious charges as to the . causes which perpetrated his attempts to discove the pole. A dispatch from Washington says: "The commission of Civil Engineer Robert E. Peary as a rear admiral on the retired list with the highest retired pay of that 'grade, to date back to April 6, 1909, the date of the discovery of the north pole, now only awaits the president's signature. 'There was some delay as . to the method in carrying out the special act of congress and it was finally decided to first commission Peary as a" civil engineer with the rank of rear admiral and then transfer him to the retired list. , The issuance of -; his commission will" be followed immediately by an order for his retirement, which gives him $0,000 a year pay. "M. E. Endicott and F. G. Prindle are the only two civile engineers with the rank of rear admiral now on the retired list." EARL STEELE WAS DECLARED INSANE Deluded with the idea that he was in !ove drove Earl Steele insane. Such in brief is the finding of the insanity commission, including Mayor W. W. Zimmerman, Dr. R. J. Hopkins and city health officer Dr. T. Henry Davis, who examined Steele, aged 22, at the county jail Friday. He imagined he loved , a, woman aged 150, .for whom he has repeatedly "declared his infatuation. Her repulses had no effect on him. He has hojnicidal and suicidal tendencies ' and because 'he was adjudged too dangerous to run at large, he was held in the city jail for two days and then taken to the county jail. The insanity commission found that his mad infatuation for the woman at whose residence he boarded, was the principal reason for his present state of mind. His physical health was found good and has been good, so they could not - account for his mental condition as a result of any physical ailments. . .
