GRE1NA FAVORED FOR CAMP SITE
SUFFICIENT LAND AVAILABLE
General Brooke Has Reported That the
Location Near Harrisburg is
for Permanent Camp.

II Is n certainty that the Mt. Gret-
ma camping ground OF the Pennsyl-
vanIa National Guard will become one
of the four great camps of instruction
where the regulars and State troops
Of prescribed district will go Into
camp for maneuvers every summer.
Major General Brooke, commanding
the Department of the East. who ex-
amined the camp sites at Mount Gret-
ma and at Somerset, has determined
that the site near Harrisburg Is the
only one that meets the requirements
of 10000 acres to be owned by the
government. and 10000 or 10000 acres
to be rented merely for the maneuv-
ers. Mount Gretna Is as near the cen
ter of the district as any that can be
found. Besides IL Is well watered,
and the diversitles of the grounds will
enable the soldiers to get practice
In every branch of soldering. Troops
from all points in the territory except
possibly from the Upper Peninsula OF
Michigan can reach the camp inside
of IL to Is hours. Two weeks Is the
outside limit of time the State troops
can spend in camp. and hence expedi.
tion receives consideration. General
Brooke has reported the result of his
visit TO the camp sites to the other
officers of the commission, but no
formal action will be taken until the
board finishes It's hearings. It Is now
In session at New York. It will prob
ably be several weeks before II Is
ready to file its report with Secretary
Root. but II Is expected the report will
be made in time to enable Congress to
make the necessary appropriations at
this session. Il Is roughly estimated
that $4,000 men will go into camp at
Mount Grctna from the six New Eng
land states ana New York, New Jer'
sey, Delaware. Maryland, Ohio. Penn
sylvanla and Michigan. The German
plan of paying for damage done to
fences and crops will probably be
adopted. That plan provides for the
payment of all claims by the Quarter
master General before he leaves the
camp. In that way claims against
the government will be avoided.

Bella Il. Brown. aged 65. n prominent
dealer In diamonds and manufacturer
Of jewelry. at Rochester. N. Y. was
found murdered In his store Sunday
night. His legs were tied together
and he was gagged with a long red neck
scarf. AT the back of the head was
a hole extending into the brain. and
there were several gashes In the scalp.
evidently made by hammer. which
was found near the body smoared with
blood and white hairs from the head
of the victim. The murdered mans
head was covered with blood. and n
pool of II formed on top Of small
chest of drawers over which the head
lay. All about were evidences of n
determined struggle, but n thorough
search failed to discover any positive
clew as to the identity OF the murderer
or murderers. From the position oi
the body in front of safe the conclu
sion was reached by the police that
the murderers had placed Mr.. Brown
before the safe. which was locked
and which contained thousands of dol
lars worth of diamonds and jewelry
and tried to force him to work the
combination for them. His right
hand was covered with blood. indi
eating that he had raised II TO his
head when he was struck and tried
TO ward off the other blows which fol
lowed. The murderers secured moth
ing of value except. perhaps. a dia
mond. stud. which Mr. Brown wore
and which Is missing.
