ceived from the War Department
complaint that the wires connecting
the military post at Fort Myer with

BILE is probably in the crossing of wires

Complaints From Patrons
of the Bathing Beach
Are Numerous
BICYCLES AMONG LOSSES
Articles of Wearing Apparel Stolen
From Clothes Lines in Back Yards
Revolvers, Pockethooks, and Demi-
john Of Wine.

Robberies at the Bathing Beach are
growing so numerous that the detective
department is making thorough inves-
tigation, proceeding on the theory that
the thefts are the work of one gang
that has made the bathers its prey.
Nearly every day reports are received
10 the effect that some bather or bathers
were robbed
Uusualy the piIferers make the haul
from the clothing left in the dressing
rooms while the bathers are in the
water. It was stated yesterday by one
of the detectives that any one key will
unlock a dozen or more of the dressing
rooms, and that a skeleton key i'm
provised with a wire would unlock them
all in the hands OF skillful manipu-
lator.
Most of the patrons of the Beach are
people who carry few valuables, and the
property stolen is confined TO cheap
watches and money in small amounts.
From 30 cents TO 50 is a fair average.
Sometimes articles of clothing are
among the reported losses, but this is
uncommon. Wearing apparel is diff
cult for the thieves 20 secrete and get
away.
Petty thieving is increasing. This Is
due largely to the number Of people that
are taking vacations and property is lett
unguarded for days at a time.
Many Bicycles Taken.
Many bicycles are being taken every
day. Often the machines are found in
other parts of the city, where they have
been ridden by some miscreants and
abandoned other times they are sold
to secondhand stores. A bicycle is one
OF the hardest articles 10 recover. the
police have to deal with. Nine cases
out of ten the owner cannot tell the
number of his machine, and there are
no identifying marks to give the police.
Clothes are being stolen from lines In
hack yards. Coats and skirts are on the
daily lookout slips issued by the Police
Department This is another case where
the police are up against a hard prob
lem. 1t has been found next to impos-
sible to recover stolen clothing.

Zation.
Changes Expected.
So far General Harries has not seen fit
to make any changes, although 1t is ex-
pected orders bearing on the matter will
be issued at no late date. 1t is known
that he has had conferences with Col.
Theodore Mosher, the adjutant general,
on the status of the organization, and
they are both of the opinion that there
is need of change in the running
of the organization.
Lieut.. George A. Berry junior grade)
Second Division, Naval Battalion. has
rendered his resignation in order that
he may accept an appointment in the
Coast and Geodetic Survey. A month or
more ago Lieutenant Berry took civil
service examination which was partici-
pated in by young men from all over
the country. Only six of them passed.
and Lieutenant Berry who was al The
head Of the list. was appointed as deck
officer in the service. He has been or
dered to the Eager, which is now station
ed at Baltimore. 1t will make a cruise
in nearby waters. Lieutenant Berry has
been connected with the reserves since
the establishment four years ago and
should make a good officer.
The appointment of Lieutenant Berry
brings to attention the good which the
Naval Battalion has done since its or
ganization. 1t was only year ago that
Ensign Claude Covell was appointed to
the United States Revenue Marine Serv-
ice, and he has made an excellent officer
He was formerly major in the High
School Cadet Regiment and secured a
commission in the Naval Battalion at its
formation.
There are any number of men who
have gone into the regular service after
having secured taste of Seamanship
in the Naval Battalion. Others have en-

Two others, Mentzes and Parker, have
missioned as lieutenants in the Colon
bian navy in South America. they sailed
recently from San Francisco on boat
which was fitted out in this country
Both men had seen service in the United
States navy and had excellent records

| The problem of keeping men in The
organization who know their duty IS be-
coming serious one, as good assign
ments in the regular service are open to
them Immediately they become rrof-
cient.
Complaint was recently made to the
War Department by citizen of Land
over. Md. that there had been rifle
shooting at the Ordway range on Sun
day. September p, and the matter WIS
referred to militia headquarters. 1t
happened that the Engineer Corps, U.
s. A.. which was encamped there, had
practice on that day, and the matter
was without the jurisdiction OF the
militia authorities.
Range Open On Sundays.
1t is understood, however, that 1T is
contemplated TO have the range open on
Sundays, as many guardsmen who are
busy on other days desire TO have mole
practice than they can now secure.
R. p Carleton, formerly one of the
crack shots OF the District. who now re-
sides in Florida, has been visiting in
Washington during the past week. He
is still as much interested in rife shoot
ing as when he was a member of Com
pany a, Sixth Battalion, and is in hopes
that Florida will send team to Sea
Girt next year. He visited Major Bell
and other rifemen during his stay.

been engaged in setting up instruments
at the armory so that the members OF

There are now about twenty-five mon

feet, if necessary, and expects to
find oil or gas, or both. The COM

land under lease, and we under.

the search will be successful, and ii

Mining operations go merrily on
and come shines of mineral were
found Monday in the shaft Hopper
& Ray are sinking for the Iowa and
Oklahoma Development Company.
The ore was found at SIS feet in the
drill hole and the shines were found
at 46 feet in the shaft which is sink
ing on the drill hole. So with only
nine feet to sink, it is not far to the
"stuff." Of course richer ore will be
found at a greater depth than So
feet, but the latter depth is where
the ore will first be encountered.
The pump shaft is going down
very rapidly, as is also the shaft at
the original discovery.
