Purpose, Says Hydro
graphic Office.

According to the photographic bulle-
tin. published by the Navy Department
for the information Of mariners, it is not
necessary for a vessel to have an elabor-
ate radio outfit to catch the time signals
sent out daily from the government radio
station. and skilled operator is not nee
essary to take them.
Any vessel provided with small re-
ceiving apparatus with one or two wires
hoisted as high as possible and insulated
from all metal fittings, or, preferably,
stretched between the mastheads with
one wire led down to the receiver, may
detect the time signals when within range
OF one Of the seacoast radio stations.
The time messages are sent every day
from 11:55 am. to noon, and from 956
to 10 pm, giving the standard time ac-
cording to the meridian In which the
nearest radio station is located. These
time signals have been used successfully
by masters Of vessels for rating their
chronometers, and have been used by
surveying vessels In the accurate deter.

CAMP SUCCESS LAUDED
BY WAR DEPARTMENT
Student Military instruction to
Be Given Next Summer in
Four Localities.

Four student military camps are TO De
conducted next summer by the War De-
partment Where the camps are to be
located has not yet been determined.
Sites will be chosen in localities access
ible to college and university students.
The success Of the two camps con-
Quoted this past summer has induced
the extension Of this special course In
military instruction for students.
One camp will be in northern New
York, probably on Lake Champaign; an
other in one of the northern central
states; the third in the Virginia noun
tains, or perhaps farther south, and the
fourth on the central Pacific coast, prob
ably at Monterey, Cal In selecting the
healthful locations, where there will be
ample facilities for boating and 1or So
cial diversion.
The Gettysburg and Monterey camps

President Wilson has heartily indorsed
the camps, as have Secretary Garrison
and Maj. Gen Leonard Wood, chief OIL
staff of the army.
Value Inestimable.
"As military asset, the value OF these
camps is inestimable," says Capt. Van
Horn. "They increase by just as many

offices of the interstate commerce COM
mission, is named defendant In suit to
annul marriage filed today by Ruth Cary
Owen. Miss Owen says the defendant
represented himself to be single man
and contracted marriage with her July
II, 1911, when he had a wife living in
this city, from whom he had never been
divorced.
She tells the court that he told her his
name was Charles c. Miller and after

proposed marriage she being ignorant
that he was married. His proposal was
accepted and the defendant procured a
marriage license it is alleged, under the
name Of Charles c. Miller, and the mar
rage was performed.
Through friends, the bride says she
discovered within few months Of the
wedding that Miller was really Claire
C. McMullen and that he had been mar
ried at Baltimore January 10, 1911, only
six months before marrying her. She
accused him, she states, OF having; an
other wife and he admitted everything
to her. the court is told.

ART STUDENTS DEATH
| STILL POLICE PUZZLE
Young Woman Lured to Lonely
Spot Near Chicago and
Murdered.

CHICAGO. October 6.-Mystery still
shrouds the murder of Miss Ida G. Leeg-
son. an art student. who was lured by a
telephone call to the prairie southwest
of the city Saturday and strangled with
a slken cord. Following her identif1ca-
ton little has been found to indicate a
motive for the crime.
Hurried investigation has shown only
that she led an exemplary life. had no
man callers at any of the places where
she is known to have resided. and she
is not thought to have possessed any
large amount of money.
Miss Leegson was a graduate of the
of dorado Taft, and a student at the
Art Institute Her murder marked the
end of long pitiful struggle to make
her way as a sculptor.
Needed Money for Studies.
Her studies at the University of Chi
cago were to fit her for work by which
she could earn enough to complete her
art education. For several winters she
taught school, returning to the city to
resume work at the Art Institute.
Only few hours before she was lured
TO her death she answered an ADVERTISE
ment for a domestic, saying she had to
have funds to enable her to continue her
studies and was not too proud to do
kitchen work. Late Saturday afternoon
a man who gave the name of Wilson tele-
phoned the residence where Miss Leegson
lived and asked her to take position as
nurse in a maternity case. She was di-
rected to go to list street and Western
avenue and walk to an address, four miles
west. The body was found three miles
west of the street intersection, in a clump
of bushes The address to which she
had been directed does not exist.
Trail of Torn Clothing.
Game wardens followed a trail of torn
clothing to the spot where her half-nude
form was lying. On her neck were
finger marks and encircling 1t was
thin blue line which was made by
piece of cord found nearby. There also
were fresh tracks made by an automobile.
A guard at a railroad crossing on list
street saw a large black car go west on
list street Saturday evening. 1t returned
about three hours later.
Miss -Leegson recently returned from
Mason City, Iowa, where she taught for
a few weeks, giving up her position be-
cause she was not fitted for teaching in
the grammar grades. She also had taught
at Cameron and Oshkosh Wis, and DOL
lar Bay, Mich.
Miss Leegson once brought suit against
DR.. T. j, Allen OF Aurora, ILL.,. on the
ground that he falsely accused her of
flirting with some of her pupils and
caused her dismissal.
