SCHOF|ELD BARRACKS FIELD DAY
PROVES MOST POPULAR EVENT
Mule Gets Stage FRIGHT

Mule Gets Stage Fhqht .-.. 49,
The machine gun contest between
gun squads from each OF the platoons
.os the two infantry and the cavalry
regiments won by the Twenty-fifth in
twenty-seyen and two-fifths seconds.
The First Infantry squad were first
to get away on the one hundred yards
run but unfortunately it halted about
twenty yards short OF the firing line
and was obliged to pack the gun to
the line TO load and fire and then to
cover the same distance in returning.
The Twenty-fifth Infantry had hitch
ell fortune to a sray mule reputed
to be faster than the little bay mule
that ran such pretty race last Feb
ruary in Honolulu during the carnival
bat he had bad attack of stage
fright and was so Eashful on the re-
turn to the start that he delayed the
game so long that the First Infantry
nearly recovered their. handicap and
tue gray mule reluctantly won by a
bare three-fourths of second. The
Cavalry experienced considerable I'M
lcoked-for trouble in closing the gun
boot and trailed thirty-six seconds.
The mounted fencing between five
mounted men Of the Cavalry and
three of the Artillery in three heats
was one of the prettiest events of the
day and the fencing was conducted
with far more skill than is usually
found among soldier contestants. The
heats finally brought together for the
finals, best three out of five points,
Corporal Bloom, F. Battery, First Ar
tillery, and First Sergeant Latimer,
Troop /, Fourth Cavalry, and the bout
was won by the latter.
The shot put. brought out about all
the huskies of the garrison, showing
varying degrees of skill After
elimination the contest stood between
Sergeant Kidd. Company /. First In
fantry. Battalion Sergeant Major
Broadus, Twenty-fifth Infantry, and
Sergeant Morgan, Company F.
Twenty-fifth Infantry. They finished
in this order-Kidd making forty feet
and six and one-half inches. Sergeant
Major Broadus putting thirty-eight
feet nine and one-half inches, while
Sergeant Morgan contented himself
with thirty-seVen feet.
Among the entries for the rescue
race, a mounted event. was a team
from the regimental detachment of
the First Infantry and if the Twenty
fifth had mounts they would have
entered a team. This marks an in
vasion of events heretofore considered
as the sole possession of mounted or
ganizations The Infantry team was
far from the money today. The win
ming Cavalry team consisted of Ser
geant Ruffy and Private Wyatt, both
of Troop B, Fourth Cavalry, who won
in thirty-one and four-fifths seconds.

The tug of war, first heat between
the Cavalry and Artillery went to the
Cavalry in an easy pull. The Cavalry
had a particularly husky bunch of
men and all of them man for man
heavier than the wagon-soldier team.

infantry regiments was won by the

Main Event of Day
The main event of the day was the
flag relay race, an event entirely new
i'm its present form or even under the
conditions under which the Twenty
fifth have run it for several years
past. The contestants were the sew,
eral battalions of the garrison, each
organization entering as many men as
It chose and electing also the distance
each should run. An immense amount
of preparation was entailed by the de-
cision of the managing officials de-
Gliding that the number of participants
from each battalion should be decided
before the race and the distance to be
covered by each and the position OF
each marked in lime on the track. II
is understood that as run by the
Twenty-fifth Infantry formerly there
were no conditions determining where
the flag should be passed or how. To-
days race required that the flag be
passed within the marked quadrangle
OF five yards by ten yards. Tn,

meet was due to his efforts.
There seems to be general regret
throughout the garrison that there
were so few bona fide athletic events
and it is believed that pressure will
be brought to bear to provide more OF
these at the next meet.

team of the second battalion of the

race with GA men, each man required

determined after careful study The
race gets its name not only from the
marking flag which is carried through
out the race. changing hands as the
race progresses, as the buck is passed
in any relay race over smaller dis
tances, and also because each cOnte ST
ant carries flag of the color of his
battalion to guide the runner coming
toward him. The scene when 500 or
more contestants had taken their
places was certainly pretty. The cav
airy carried small yellow flags, the
First Infantry flags of white, the
Twenty-fifth Infantry blue and the
Artillery battalion red. The number
of each battalion or squadron was
stamped on the flag. The race was
won in 10 minutes As 2-5 seconds. The
Twenty-fifth officers say that this bat
talon drew an unusually large num-
Der of very speedy recruits in the
bunch that came the first of the
month and that the team was to a
great extent a recruit team. What
ever its composition it was undoubt-
eddy speedy.

runners had run twice in the race

his defense that running twice OF

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.--Joseph p.
Carroll wealthy head of the firm of
F'iss. Doerr & Carroll. the largest
horse dealers In the country, and for
many years one of the closest advisers
of Charles F. Murphy, Is accused by
the Equitable Life Assurance company
of fraud in obtaining an insurance
policy for $4,000 which was issued
FIVE months before the death of Mr..
Carroll on November 25th last.
Suit has been brought to recover
the face of the policy by the henefi-
ciary Mrs. Georgia c. Archer. on the
ground of the company's refusal to
make payment upon proof of Mr.. Car
rolls death The charges of fraud
are contained in the insurance COM
pany's answer filed today in the Su-
preme court. The circumstances un-
der which Mrs. Archer was named as
not appear in the papers She was
nc mentioned In Mr.. CAROLS will,
and Is not related to him so far as
could be learned today.
Separated From Wife.
At the time the insurance policy
was taken out, Mr.. Carroll was living
apart from his wife. Mrs Martha j,
Carroll, who had once gone to Reno
to divorce him, and from whom he
A few days before he died he brought
about a reconciliation with his wife,
and in q codocile to his will Mr.. Car
roll doubled trust fund of $50, 900

should have the income so long as she
remained his widow.

his partner. left an estate of over
100000 and the charges of fraud In
obtaining his insurance policy against
man of the prominence and wealth
of Mr.. Carroll makes the case I'M
usual.
Fraud il Alleged.
The answer of the insurance company
admits that the policy WAS issued, but
denies that Mrs Archer is entitled 70
receive the proceeds ofthe policy.
The insurance company alleges that at
the time the policy was issued on Juae
IS. l9I2 Mr.. Carroll in making appli-
cation for it. stated that he had no
serious illness since infancy, and mat
the last time he consulted a physician
was many years previous. He said that
his father died In 1902, Of pneumonia
at the age of sixty eight.
The insurance company alleges thai
since childhood Mr.. Carroll suffered
from tumor. nervous arrangement
and a heart affection. and that his con-
slant headaches were due to tumor of
the brain. At the time of Mr.. Car
rolls death in the hospital. he had been
operated on a second time for tumor of
the brain.
The answer alleges that Mr. Carroll
not only made false statements con-
corning his own health. but that his
father did not die of pneumonia, but of
disease of the brain.
