STANDING TOGETHER.
Soldiers Will Not Tell Who Were
Rioting on Sunday Might.

Investigation into the riot of Sunday
night at the Preside IS no nearer a sue
cessful conclusion than it was when it
started. 1t seems to be hung between the
civil and military authorities with every
prospect of no result The military peo-
pie say they can only question the men
and unless some one can come and identi-
fy some OF the men who were in the riot
they cannot do anything unless the ring
leaders confess. Rehfeld says he cannot
identify any OF the men who assaulted
his place, but he thinks the police Off
GERS who were there ought to be able 10
do so. The police say Rehfeld can iden-
tify at least two or three of the men he
saw around his saloon if he wants 10.
and 50 the matter is passed from one to
the other, while the "casuals" who were
mixed up in the row are being assigned
TO transports for service in the Philip
pines.
One man, Arthur Billings, who has been
ordered on board the Warren. was taken
back to the post yesterday because it was
supposed he knew something of the row,
but his information has not affected mat
tiers much so far. Fifty others were also
ordered off the transport because ii was
believed she was too crowded.
Mary Alice Burrell, Wilha DOckrill,
Margaret Bertram, Mary Handy. Carrie
Howard and Salina Hayden, Red Cross
nurses, have been ordered to prepare
themselves for service in the Philippines.
They will be taken out there in the trans
port NeMpOrt.

a Most Interesting and Successful
Entertainment Given by the

Leader John Hammersmith of the
Olympic Club met with an agreeable sur
prise last evening when he Toasted his
eyes upon the large gathering Of ladies
and their escorts who assembled in the
handsome gymnasium long before the
first feature of a splendid entertainment
was announced.

presumed that at future entertainments

mental, will be given a prominent part.
The dumbbell drill by pupils OF the Grant
School was unQuesuonably happy adj

young ladies, under the command of
Professor George Miehllng, went through
q drill that would reflect credit upon the
best drilled army now doing service in
the Philippines. The bell exercise was
loudly applauded by the large and en-

Sixty freight cars constituted the

LaxIty of Directors OF New Jersey Bank
Which Was Robbed of saz5.oOO.
NEW YORK, July 31--In the desk of
George NJ Valentine, the defaulting
cashier of the Middlesex County bank
of Perth Amboy, n. j., there was
found yesterday evidence that the
man had been habitually overdrawing
his account for large sums with the
knowledge of the bank officials.
Thomas Mcguire, the receiver, found
in Valentines desk note for S25, 600,
given by Valentine and unindorsed,
which was charged up to the
young mans account as an over
draft and duly recognized as
such by the bank officials. This
young man, now serving a six years
sentence in the Trenton peniten tiary,
having been convicted of robbing his
employers of 1925, OGO, remained in the
employ of the bank year and half
after this overdraft was charged to
his account. He was at the time re-
ceiving s., 500 a year as cashier.
Uriah Is. Watson, the president of
the bank, when asked for an explana-
ton of such a state of affairs, said
that he did not remember that an
overGraft of that amount had been
made. He said that a year and
half ago young Valentine had: consid-
erably overdrawn his account, but
that he understood his father would
make the amounts good.

armed with a new Mauser rifle and
the rifles are loaded with ''dumdum"
bullets. This bullet is the one that
was denounced in the peace confer
ence at The Hague as barbarous i'm

be the first instance of its use in the
United States. The bullets used at
Joliet are made by an American firm
and they are described on the labels
of the boxes that contain them, as
''soft nose bullets When they are
fired into body the soft nose aattens
