Hazleton, Pa., September 23.-Three Of the deputies who were sworn in by Sheriff Harvey of Luzerne county, and who are sons of prominent Wilkesbarre families, were arrested last night at Freeland on the charge of highway robbery. They are Hamilton Farnham, Van Buren B. Howard and A. B. Shoemaker, Jr. The men are accused of robbing a Polish Mquor dealer of $167 in cash. The Polander says he was delivering beer at Highland and that the deputies asked him and he consented to let them ride In his wagon to Freeland. At the outskirts of that place he claims, the men assaulted him and took the money from his pocket. The other story is that the Polander demanded a fee for bringing the deputies to Freeland, and not getting 1t, he set up cry that he had been robbed.
 A crowd soon gathered and the deputies were taken into custody and given a hear ing before a justice of the peace which lasted until o'clock this morning. The squire committed the three men but in- stead of locking them up at Freeland the accused were driven thirty miles over the mountain to Wilkesbarre, where they ar rived at daylight this morning.

GENERAL LUDLOW RETURNS
Has Been Studying the Military Sys'
 tems in Europe

New York, September 23.-Among the passengers who arrived on the St. Paul from Liverpool today was Gen. Wm. Lud- low, who went abroad early in July as the president of a special military board or ganized for the purpose of studying the military system of Europe with the view to the formation of United States war college.
 "A1l European nations," said the Gener- al, have a sort of war college or general staff or body composed of the ablest men in all the various departments of the army, such as an adjutant-general quartermaster general and commissary general. The Uni tedStates has nothing of the kind. The com manding general has none to aid him in concerted action in case of an emergency. I found that the Germany military ma chine was the best organized of all the Eu- ropeans armies.
 "The Germany officers are the hardest worked of all in Europe. They seem to be drilling and training their men from dawn to dusk. They have little leisure, and not much time to sleep. One of the results of this hard work Is that an army of one mil lion men has been mobilzed within ten days, so perfect are the quartermasters and commsaries. Germany is ready in peace and in war"

Looked Down from the PuIpits
 Throughout the City,
BUT THE WORD OF GOD WAS TOLD
The Work of Burning the Bodies Con. tinues and the Wreckage is Be- ing Cleared Away-Several
 Banks Have Opened

New Orleans La., September 23-A spe- cial from Galveston says
 NO church bells called the worshipers to the temples today; no organs pealed ths sacred hymns; strange faces looked down from many pulpits but the word of GAd was told.
 Buildings that have been used as morgues, structures that only a few days ago sheltered the injured and dying were today inhabited by the followers of ChTist and many mother who had lost sep, many man whose family had been so suddenly swept from him on that awful night, gathered in these places and therS upon pended knee, fervently prayed that the souls of their dead might rest in peace. And when the benediction had been pro- nouncd and the people slowly filed through the narrow passageways and out on the streets, the very trees seemed to bow their heads In sympathy and all humanity was at peace with one another.
 Scarcely minister that did not have for his text the storm and it's lesson. The words from the pulpit carried comfort to the hearts of many, inspired them to bet ter things, gave strength to the weak and courage to rebuild on grapder scales. And while there were many persons at prayer there were others dtsposing of the dead. Funeral fires blazed all sides. Famed by a brisk southerly wind, the flames leap- ed heavenward and cast their lurid shad- ows on the sky.
 In all about forty bodies were taken from the ruins today.
 Tomorrow it is estimated 2500 men will be at work on the streets clearing the wreckage. Thirty days will be required to do the work.
 "The plan to erect homes for those who lost everything by the storm, so earnestly advocated by Miss Barton of the Red Cross Society is meeting with every encourage ment. A large fund is to be raised for this purpose to be disbursed by direction of Miss Barton. Five hundred and seventy six persons were treated at the emergency hospitals today. Many serious cases are reported and several deaths are likely to result
 Several of the city banks were open today, cashing script for city laborers em- ployed in cleaning wreckage
 There were many visitors in the city to- day, among the number being Paul B. Moore of Jefferson City, Mo, private sec- retary of Governor Stephens of that State Mr. Moore was accompanied by Curtis G. and Joseph L. Stephens of St. Louis, sons of Governor Stephens.

 'The chart shows forty-one fathoms, or 246 feet of water near this Campiche bank, and to the eastward off the bank it deep ems to 300 fathoms, or 1900 feet.
 We watched that vapor and the occa- sional boiling of the water for nearly one hour, and the disturbance was still going on as lively ever.
 Tt certainly looked like volcanic dis turbance to me. The mate was at first n- clined to think it was spent water spout, but if that was the case, the vapor would have cleared and he water would not have been alternately, smooth and then bursting waves as in this case"
 Captain Liddell took an observation and marks the spot as being latitude 23 de- grees, l4 minutes and longitude SIT de- grees M minutes.
