WANT TO BE OFFICERS
Thousands Of Applicants for a Few
Score Army Positions

WASHINGTON. June 1.-THE organiza-
ton of the volunteer army made necessary
the appointment from civil life of little
less than 500 staff officers and second lieu
tenants. The enormous amount Of work
entailed upon the President and the War
Department, particularly the Adjutant-
General and his force, by these appoint
ments can be imagined when 1t is known
that for the 500 appointments there were
more than 21,OOO applicants. Every one OF
the applications had to be briefed. arranged
and filed and before the appointments
were made many Of the applications had
to be handled several times.
Each one had to be answered and many
were the subject of considerable CORE
spondence. The majority of the applicants
had influential support and the President
the Secretary of War and Adjutant-Gener-
al Corbin were obliged to discuss the ap-
pointments personally with the friends Of
the applicants. No regret is expressed in
official circles that the task is now ap-
preaching completion.

Will Not Tolerate It
Playing With Powder

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Reports re-
ceived at the War Department show a con-
tinued neglect of owners and masters of
vessels of the engineer regulations bearing
on the entrance Of vessels to mined harbors
after sunset and before sunrise. The Off
Gals expressed a surprise at these fragrant
violations Of the rules as the vessels put
themselves constantly in great danger of
being blown up and Of losing the lives of all
aboard, while at the same time they subject
the department to great annoyance. and to
the necessity Of repairing the damage done.
Only last week vessel coming into New
York harbor deranged the cables connecting
the mines with the shore batteries a long
distance with the result that some time will
be necessary to repair the damage done.
This Is only an isolated case. Even II the
vessels themselves do not suffer by violating
those regulations their crews and passen-
gers are in danger, as the sentries on duty
upon refusal of the vessel to heave to
sometimes open fire on tl>f- ~ders with
their guns.

Believe the Man Is Insane-Was After
Colonel Hay

LONDON, June 16.-In the Bond stree
police court today John Tradd, who shot
Count Arcovalley, the first secretary Of tbs
German embassy here, while the latter was
emerging from the embassy last evening
was remanded until Wednesday next.
The police believe that Trodd (not Todd
as first cabld) is insane, and really intended
TO kill an American official, and not a Ger
man. He had been insulted by some Ameri
cans. and papers found in his belongings
after his arrest show that he intended tt
harm Colonel Hay, the United States am
bassador, whose residence is situated neal
the German embassy. Trodd mistook The
latter place for Colonel Hays house. He
found that it was an embassy, and appar-
emily concluded that 1t was the headquarters

The Suburban Handicap

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE final trials
of the Suburban handicap, which will be
run at Sheepshead tomorrow, took place
yesterday. Ornament, the winner of the
Brooklyn, who carries the top weight and
who has one of the strongest followings
ever a horse had, was out in good form,
and moved a mile and a half at a racing
pace, going to the quarter in 2:13 and fin
ishing the full distance in 2:301a. Ben Hol-
liday, with his weight UP, covered the
Suburban distance in 2:1OA. Imp, the west
ern mare who, on Monday last with 10a
has a lot of supporters for place at the
end. She has shown that she can go the
distance without trouble, and in the trial
galloped mile and furlong in 1857. Hav-
oc ran his mile and a quarter in 2:13.
Bromley & Co.'S Semper Ego won the
second race at Gravesend yesterday SO
easily that he will probably start in the
Suburban. The time was fast, and 1t was
the best race he ever ran. On Deck Is not
likely to be seen in the Suburban, but
Bromley & Co. may start both Typhoon
II and Semper Ego with Taral on Ty-
phoon.
Semper Ego's weight in the Suburban is
only LOG pounds. OF course Taral cannot
ride at so low a weight.
Semper Ego had 1913 pounds at Graves
end. With seventeen pounds less he may
go swiftly.
Marcus Days Isadore, who was third
to Semper Ego, is in the Suburban, but
his performance Is not encouraging. ]. s.
Seagram says that he will start both Hav-
NJ and Ira pedian TraRedian's Suburban
weight Is 1876. He is a handicap horse of
considerable speed Ben Elder Is in tho
Suburban. but he was last at Gravesend
and is anything but a favorite. Howard
Mann's name is on the list of entries. He
was second to Semper Ego at Gravesend
yesterday, but he had only ITO pounds up.
