SOLDIERS MUST BE IN BY II.
Several Physicians Watch Mai. Har-
rison's Drunk Cure.


Maj Russell B. Harrison. provost mar
sinai, issued a warning yesterday to sol
diers to the effect that hereafter no passes
for men to be in the city or away from
the camps VIII be recognized after II
O'Clock at night, unless the passes dis
tinctly specify the business for which the
soldier is away from his camp.
This Is in accordance with orders re-
Gently issued from headquarters to the
effect that passes issued for an indefinite
Derfod must not be considered. 1t appears
that some company commanders have
been TOO lenient with their men, and nave
permitted them to remain out OF camp
over night. There have been several com
plaints on this score. and the authorizes
decided to limit all passes TO II O'CLOCK no
matter what they state.
The new form of passes will be issued
to-day. and the soldier who is caught on
the streets after IL o'clock at night VIII
probably be carried in to the provost guard
house. unless he can show good cause
Mai. Harrison did not enforce this order
last night on account of the fact that 1t
has not yet been thoroughly circulated,
but the warning has been given, and the
provost guards will begin making arrests

Drs. owens. Van Marter, Paige, War
ing and Corson visited provost headquar-
tcrs last night, and were shown Maj. Har-
rison's prescription for DRINKS in actual
operation. A splendid subject for the cold
water bath had just arrived. He was so
fun that ne was practically in a semi-con-
scious state.
The shower bath soon brought him
around, and the change in expression on
his face was noticeable within three min
utes He soon began rubbing himself.
and within ten minutes was dressed ana
walking around. The physicians were de-
lighted with the experiment, and all of
them remarked that il furnished quite a
useful hint Their surprise at the quick
and effective work done was freely ex-
pressed.
Maj. Harrison arrested a sergeant on the
street yesterday. The sergeant was so fun
he could hardly navigate.
Il have never been arrested before"
argued the sergeant with Maj Harrison.
if 1 don't get out of this IN lose my job.
Please let me 60"
Maj. Harrison finally agreed to let the
sergeant go if he would take bath and
then sign a pledge not to get drunk again.
The sergeant agreed to everything, took
the bath, and was quite jubiaut over IT.
He was ready to support Maj, Harrison
for Governor, President and several other
offices, and signed the pledge without
murmur.
Three soldiers passed an Italians fruit
stand at East Broad and Liberty streets
last night. They grabbed up a lot of
packages of oysters that he had just
cooked and was offering for sale, and ran
off with them. The Italian chased them.
As The soldiers passed the provost guard
they told him they were running from
man who was trying to cut them, and
asked him to arrest him. The overzeaIous
provost arrested the Italian and carried
him to the barracks. The guard forgot
that he had TO have witnesses when maxi
ing a charge against a man. and probably
overlooked the fact that he did not have
the right TO arrest a citizen, anyhow I'M
less he caught him in the commission of
a felony.
Col Merritt w. Dixon happened to sec
the entire proceeding. He went 10 the bar
racks and explained the case TO Sergt. Kill
lourhy, and the merchant was at once re-
leased Tho provost said he had no
charges 10 prefer
