as the engineer and hospital corps are pre-
ferably recruited from trained men in those
branches.
From the appearance of affairs, the friend
ly feeling existing between the men in the
service will not pass away with the retire
ment from service of the regiment. Com
pany c is perfecting plans for permanent
organization, the first step OF which is a
banquet and theater party following tonight
to celebrate release from the rigcrs of mill
tary life. The sergeants of the regiment
have banded together under the official title
of the "Sergeants' Club of the Seventh Reg
iment, L. S. Volunteer Infantry" and will
dine at Maison Doree Spght after attend
ing the Burbank. At the meeting officers
will be elected for permanent orgsniza-
tion, which will meet at least once year.
No drills will be held today; the first
duty the men will perform. will be the polio
ing of the camp to place all in good order
before leaving; bedding will then be dis
posed of and the men lined up to receive
their pay and discharge papers. BY the
terms of enlistment uniforms OF the men
are their personal property and can be re-
tanned by them, which many will prefer to
do, at least for while, as when they en-
listed, believing that the war would last
three years, they gave away all civilian cos
tune.

Newell in several particulars. Stein told
In substance what the latter had related,
and during the course of his crossIexamin-
alton explained some of the details of living
on nothing year. He said he had not
worked for a year past, and remained at
home with his parents, who provided for
him. He borrowed his poker money from
fortunate friends who had won.
This closed the case for the defense, and
the attorneys decided to submit the case
without argument. The court asked Mr..
Shinn for the authorities he had men
toned in connection with his contention
that the complaint was wrong, and upon
Mr.. Chambers saying he would like to
answer these authorities and quote others,
the court gave them five days each in which
to file briefs.

THEIR LAST PARADE
SEVENTH WILL DRILL NO MORE
AT CAMP PRATT
FUTURE OF THE REGIMENT
Bouquets Thrown at Each Other by
Officers and Men-Pay Day and
Final Roll Call Today

Last evening saw the final drill of the
Seventh regiment at Camp Pratt and the
expressed joy Of the men when their hopes
of discharge were finally confirmed left room
for question as to the existence Of those who
wished to continue in active service
The three battalions, headed by the regi
mental band, marched upon the parade and
were put through evolutions by their sew
eral majors. The three bodies of troops
then united for dress parade, after which
they passed in review for the last time be
fore Col. Berry At the conclusion of the
review the men were formed into hollow
square and were addressed by their colonel
He spoke feelingly of the hardships they had
endured together and hoped that the same
friendly feeling which had existed between
them and himself in the past would continue
in the future. At the conclusion of his ad-
dress he received three cheers, very cordial
ly given. He was followed by Lieut. Col
Schreiber, who commended the men for the
excellent discipline they had shown in Camp
Pratt. He created some laughter when he
advised them to leave the service, earnest
ly, quietly and soberly," as they had en-
tered it.
Majors Choate, Weller and Prescott also
spoke briefly, as did Capt. Alfonso, thank
ing the men for the kindly sympathy which
they as officers had received from them, and
pledged themselves in the future to do all
in their power for any man of the regiment
who might come to them for assistance Ap-
plause was given the speakers as they finished
and at the conclusion all the officers gave
three cheers for the enlisted men. The regi-
ment then came to attention and marched
off the field to the "Red, White and Blue +"
After being dismissed the men let loose all
bonds and the camp resounded with cheers
for the release of today
What the exact status of the Seventh
after mastering out will be seems as yet
undetermined. None of the officers have
any idea on what footing the orea nization

THREE RED TREYS
ARE BETTER THAN TWO GOOD
PAIRS
POKER DAVIS SCHOOL
FOR THE INSTRUCTION OF INNo-
CENTS ABROAD
THE LAMBS LAMENTATI0N
Peter Newell and Henry Starr, Two of
the "Old Mans" Lieutenants on
Trial-Submitted on Briefs

"Poker As Fine Art; or How to Live on
Nothing Year." was the title of melo-
drama enacted in Justice Morrison's court
yesterday. Unlike the average drama, the
villains were not punished, but all the other
elements Of pathos, humor, tragedy, hair
raising escapes and thrilling rescues were
in evidence. Pete Newell and Harry Starr,
alias Stein, pair of Poker Davis 'lambs,"
were on trial upon charge of having, in
company with John Doe and Richard Roe,
two more of "Poker's" flock, conspired to
rob one L. w. Easton in game of draw
poker. In fact the crowd did secure $26 so
from Easton, but Newell returned $24 to the
"sucker" from Riverside ON he strength
Of sad story of sick son and a lamentable
shortage of cash.
w. ii. Shinn represented the defendants
and Deputy District Attorney Chambers ap-
peared for the prosecution. Both defend
ants were in court and occupied respectful
attitudes on either side of "The old man.

as poker is familiarly termed. 1he court
room was crowded with beetle-browed
youths who wanted to get line on the
latest methods of making "easy money!
while score or more of "Reubens" were
also in evidence for the purpose, no doubt,
OF learning what sort of strangers to steer
clear of when they came to town.
SIIINN S1UFFLES
Previous to the taking of testimony Mr..
Shinn filed general demurrer to the
charge and asked that the defendants be
discharged. This was overruled and then
he made motion to dismiss, because the
facts as stated in the complaint did not
constitute public offense. This met sim
liar fate, and then the cards were cut and
the deal began. Easton, the complaining
witness, had the first bet He contributed
white chip to the pot of evidence by tell
ing his name and age and how he had met
on Main street two strange men, the John
Doe and Richard Roe of the complaint.
Mr.. Shinn then took the bet and raised
Easton a blue check and incidentally raised
some CONSERVATION in the camp of the pros
ecution by objectng to Mr.. Chambers ask
ing anything about the two characters.
Shinn then read. from the complaint IN
which it stated that the two defendants
and Roe and Doe had entered into con-
spiracy to defraud Easton. The attorney
contended that no reference could be made
to these unknown men until after con-
spiracy had been proved, and he quoted
authorities in support of this contention.
Mr.. Chambers withdrew his question and
then Easton was allowed to relate the cir
cumstances of his experience with Pete
Newell, Harry Stein ard the two others
while in "Poker" Davis room at the Or
lando on West Third street several weeks
ago.
LEARNING THE GAME
Easton and the two men whom he had
met were let into the room by Newell, Stein
being seated at the table. The defendants
said they had just been playing cards, and
one of the companions of Easton who, it is
claimed, were "steerers" for the Others,
said he would like to take hand in the
game. He was given some chips and soon
the other man joined in the game too.
"Mason," the elder of Eastons companions,
handed the complaining witness some chips
and told him to play. The witness said he
did not know anything about the game, but
"Mason" replied that it made no difference
as he would help him play. Easton was told
that he had won $40 or $l2, big pile OF
chips being showed across the table toward
him. On this showing he was induced to
produce $3.50, which Newell who was the
banker, pocketed. Then Easton wanted to
quit, but "Mason" urged him to bet some
more and not "throw him down." As he was
