Complaints against the transport
service of the nature of those made
by Captain Kennisof. of the transport

frequent ever since the days OF the

IN ARMY TRANSPORT
SERVICE BY PROBE
Captain Kennison Reports
Conditions Found on
the Sheridan.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16-Graft
| charges in connection with the army
transport service of the United States
have been fully substantiated on the
Pacific coast at least by Capt H. L.
Kennison, commanding the transport
Sheridan.
There always has been whisky sold
on this transport illegally. and believe
there always will be-" said Captain
Kennison. when the Sheridan docked in
this city. II do not believe that the
higher officers are responsible" the cap
tain said; but men will drink and in
ividuals supply them. Despite all that
can be done 1t seems impossible to stamp
out the traffic completely"
Investigation at Sea.
Captain Kennison's remarks were
called forth by a rigid inquiry aboard
the Sheridan ever since that vessel left
San Francisco for the Orient on May 3.
OFFICERS, crew, and passengers have
been under the closest scrutiny, and
were openly investigated, as soon as
the Sheridan was well out to sea.
The investigation started with the
receipt Of a wireless message when the
Sheridan was four days out of port. 1t
continued until her return here. 1t Is

Grating in General.
According to Captain Kennison. graft.
in all its variations, has been rampant
on the Sheridan. and throughout the
transport service for many years, and
army officials, and himself as COM
mander have been powerless to prevent
it. Graft and liquor will flourish" he
declared, despite the strictest super
vision. I cannot jug my passengers.
When the investigation began on May
9 a soldier was discovered Intoxicated
in the crews quarters. When We found
him he said he had been robbed Of

Business Portion Of Thriving
Little Town on N. / ST. Il.
Destroyed. High Wind and no
Fire Protection. Total Loss
Sis, 600 with Part Insurance.
N. U. Fire Department Called
out. 49,. ......

Our neighboring town, Searles,
seven miles south Of New Ulm on the
NJ. l. St. L. road, was visited by .
disastrous fire late Thursday after
noon. Seven buildings and the
lumber yard were completely de-
stroyed, causing loss Of property of
approximately $1,000.
The fire originated in the attic over
the kitchen of the Gerhard Gulden
home, located on the intersection of
three streets. A strong wind from the
southeast helped the work of destruc-
ton along and as soon as the flames
made their way through the roof of
the Gulden home they we're quickly
carried onto the adjoining building
which was used as q dance hall and
from there spread rapidly over the ice
house and barn in the rear of the
Gulden saloon. Martin Schnobrich's
hardware store, but short distance
away from the dance hall and located
on the same side of the street, was
within easy reach of the flames. This
store with most of the merchandise
was also totally destroyed. Great
efforts we're made to save the lun Der
yard, also owned by Martin Schno-
brich. All conditions, however, we're
against the brave local fire fighters
| and their noble efforts. The yard
VAS located north OF the barn and In q
straight path OF the strong southeast
wind. Burning shingles and heaps of
fire we're carried into the yard which
furnished an abundant supply for the
flames and owing to the fact that there
was but meager supply of water in
the town, everything within reach OF
the fire was consumed. ...-.
The general store of A. A. Schlump'
berger and post Office, the elevator OF
the Eagle Roller Mill Co. and the
creamery were saved, these buildings
being located south and east from the
place of fire, the wind carrying the
flames and heat in opposite direction.
A straw stack on the farm OF George
Fischer about half q mile north
of Searles caught fire through burn
ing single carried there by the heavy
wind.
When the fire was discovered the
citizens realized the great danger for
their village and at once assisted in
every possible manner to save
property and get the fire under control.
But owing to the fact that the village
is without fire protection and without
sufficient quantity of water, the
strong efforts of the bucket brigade
proved futile. The strong southeast
wind caused the flames to get beyond
control.
The fire department of this city was
appealed to for assistance and nine of
the local fre-fghters rushed to the
scene of the fire on a box car pulled
by the M. 4 St. L. switch engine.
