II. Schneiderman, a farmer living

amputated.

SALOONS OF "CAPTURED" TOWN INVADED BY SUCCESSFUL
 SIDE IN MANEUVERS,
SAY WOMEN ARE INSULTED
Military Experts Returning From Spar ta, Wis.,, Where Maneuver Camp Is Located, Tell of Orgies
 and Indignities.

Chicago, July 27.-Military experts who went to Camp Douglas near Sparta, Wis, to observe the maneu- vers there for which Congress appro- priated $1,350,000 have returned to Chicago and charge that the soldiers have engaged in a drunken orgy until they are unfit to carry on their war game.
 Women who were in Douglas, Wis, arriving in Chicago, make a similar charge and further asserted that the soldiers have insulted women promis- cuously and that an unaccompanied woman on the street of the little Wis consin town is not safe at night.
 The United States army headquar- ters here heard the story and the wires to the military camp were kept hot. If there is any substantiation of the reports, it was intimated at the army headquarters, a thorough probe of conditions would be made and the officers in charge of the men would have to do a lot of explaining
 The troops are divided into two com mands, the Reds" and the Blues" :" The Red" army, commanded by Gen eral Halt of St. Paul, was fifteen miles from Douglas when the alleged orgy occurred. The Blues" are command ed by Colonel Hollaway of La Crosse.
 Young Girl Attacked.
 One story told here was that a young girl in a hysterical condition was found in the railway station at Douglas. She told women who found her there that she had started to the station to go to her home at Tomah Wis, and that soldiers had attacked her while officers made no attempt to protect her. One story told by re- turning visitor from the maneuvers follows:
 "The town of Douglas was captured by men from the Blue army com posed of the Third Wisconsin and Third Illinois National Guard; third squadron of the Fifteenth Cavalry, Battery A, Wisconsin Artillery, and onehalf an ambulance corps from Ft. Leavenworth, Kan.
 "The saloons of the town filled quickly and within three hours the orgy was in full blast. Soldiers took possession of the streets and hurled insults at women Fights and brawls started and soldiers lay in drunken stupor on the sidewalks or reeled and fell into the gutters."
 According to this mans story, the soldiers were incapacitated from pro ceeding with the maneuvers.

self progressed far within the last 24 hours, development along that line was secondary in interest to the testi mony of Police Lieutenant Dan Costi. gan, in charge of a gambling souad who told the grand jury fatly that no gambling house could be open for more than day or two without heavy graft being paid to the police.
 Costigan's story-because he has been known as the honest cop"-aI- most stunned the grand jurors when he declared that all authority as to gambling regulation in New York rested entirely with Commissioner Waldo; that the commissioner alone knew what resorts were to be raided. He said that the question of keeping the town closed rested wholly with the commissioner, and then added that in all his experience as policeman New York had never been so wide open as now.
 The lieutenant told also how he had planned raid on Herman Rosenthal's gambling house for the night of April IT and was forestalled by Lieut. Chas Becker, friend of Jack Rose, who raided the place with his own squad before Costigan could get there. Cos tigan admitted he had heard 1t said among the police and gamblers that Becker did it to protect himself.
 Waldo Denies Costigan Story.
 Waldo arrived at headquarters con- siderably earlier than usual, plainly agitated because of stories in the newspapers regarding what Costigan had told the grand jury. But the com missioner did not get down earlier than did Costigan, and the two went into conference, after which Waldo as- serted that Costigan had denied telling the grand jury anything similar to what was in the published accounts.
 "The statements attributed to Lieut.. Costigan are false, each and every one of them" Commissioner Waldo said as he came out of his private office, and the Lieutenant nodded his head in assent.

CLOSE IS HEAVY
Demand for Hill Issue Ceases
and Prices Drop
Quickly.

NEW YoRG. Aug s.-Gains were
limited to minor fractions with a firm
undertone.
II a. m.-The list varied little from
opening prices until a further rise IN
the Hill issues strengthened the gem
Ieral list. Some of the specialties fiuc-
tuated widely, STRAIGHTFORWARD gaining
three points and American Tobacco
six, while Liggett & Myers was heavy.
Noon-The market closed heavy.
The market reversed itself in the final
hour. when demand for The Hill issues
ceased. There was also marked weak
ness in Amalgamated, anthracite
shares, steel and other industrials,
bringing the level of the active group
under yesterdays final quotations.

cIares He Doesn't Seek
Office

JERSEY CITY, Aug. 3.-Mayor

troll the Democratic nominations at

ing to induce James F. sO'Mealia to
become the combination candidate
for county supervisor. Members OF
Mr.. O'Mealiass family say that MOTH
ing can induce him to run for office
this fall. Mr.. O'Mealia was married
on Wednesday of this week and is
row on his honeymoon. He will not
be home for a week or ten days. and
It is said that before his departure
from the city he told several OF his
closest friends that he had put his
foot down on the movement to make
him the candidate for supervisor.
II am out of politics for the pres
emit" Mr.. o'Mealia is reported as hav-
ing TOLD the member of the big
Four who urged his candidacy. Mr..
O'Mealia was an aspirant for the
Democratic nomination for Mayor last

P. Egan Association named after
Surrogate Egan. Mr.. Egan is one OF
the Democrats who does not think
Mr.. O'Mealia wants any political
office.
It was said last night that Mayor

the candidacy of Councilman Neil
O'Mahoney. Of Bayonne. Mayor Gro
min, of Bayonne, who is one of the
big Four" while a friend of Coun-
Gilman O'Mahoney, is said TO favor a
Jersey City mar for supervisor. His
