STUDENT CAMP ENLIvENS.
Several Hundred Young Men Expected
At Burlington.

Burlington, July 2.--The site of the
students military instruction camp on
the Williston road, opposite the state
experiment station, is fast being turned
into tented city, and yesterday the
commanding officer, Capt, Oliver Ed
wards Of the 9th infantry, was kept
busy by the arrival of the officers and
men to assist him and students, who are
already arriving so as to be here at the
opening of the camp Monday morning.
The camp in this city is the largest of
the four camps which are located in
different parts of the country by the
war department. Applications from 525
students are now on file, and it is ex-
pected that there viii be at least 80
more. The men represent about l20
schools and colleges from the eastern
states, as far south as Washington and
as far west as the western line of
Pennsylvania. The camp is prepared to
take care of 500 students. They will
be organized into battalion of four
companies, each company to be under
the command of an Office of the regu
lar army. These officers are Lieut.. Wal
ton Gordon. ir., of the 5th infantry
Lieut.. Henry I. Bull of the I'd cavalry;
Lieut.. Andrew ID. Chafiin of the Goth
infantry and Lieut. r. T. Finney, in
fantry.

MAY SEEK CHANGE OF SITE.
Some of Aldermen Plan to Start Hos
pital Petition.

A petition which receives its first mar
turing among the members of the city
council may be circulated among sub.
scribers to the hospital fund for the pur-
pose OF requesting a change in the site
of the proposed new building from
Washington street to some other site,
which hasn't been fixed by the fathers
of the petition. Last night the board
OF aldermen. with the exception OF Al
derman Hoban, got together at city hall
and discussed the matter Of having the
hospital built in what they say will be
more desirable locality. IL was pro-
posed to consider the issue a specially
called session of the council, but on the
suggestion of someone that the hospital
business is not the city councils bus
mess, that plan was abandoned. and it
was decided not to take any official ac-
tion.
Instead. the sponsors plan first to affix
their own signatures to the petition and
then circulate among the big and little
subscribers to the hospital fund. One
of the aldermen, in defending his stand
to-day. declared that he had met with
only two persons who were in favor of
retaining the present site. All others,
he continued, were strongly opposed to
the present site and would be more than
willing to do their share in bringing
pressure enough to bear on the men be-
hind the hospital to choose another To-
cation before work on the new structure
is started. Plans for erecting the hos
pital on a site near the present build
ing are all completed and contractors
are figuring on the specifications.

"CHARLIE" ROSS
MYSTERY OF IA
Boy Was Kidnapped from His Home just
40 Years Ago Yester-
dav

Philadelphia, July I'm the long
chain of battling disappearances and alb,
ductions. none in this country has held
longer or more intense interest than that
of "Charlie" Ross, who was kidnapped 4O
years ago yesterday, when he was -four
years old.
Though both his parents are dead com
munications are still sent TO his rela-
tives by persons who believe they have
solved the mystery or have located the
man, who, if living, would now be 40
years of age. The mother died in 1912
still confident that her SON would be re-
turned to her.
"Charlie" Ross was kidnapped from
near his home at Germantown, Phil
adelphia, while at play with his brother,
by two men in buggy. A ransom of
$4,000 was demanded and so great was
the public interest in the case that the
amount was being raised by popular
subscription when the excessive public
ity caused the kidnapers to drop nego-
tations and nothing more was ever
heard OF them or Of young Ross.

TALK OF THE TOWN

One Of the attractions at the Inde-
pendence day eelebration in Northteld
Saturday is to be the soccer football
game between the Bonaccords Of Barre
and team Of Northfeld pigskin chas-
ers. For the time being. the Vermont
league series will not claim the atten-
tion and football fans are now center
ing their interest on the Fourth Of July
match. which is a part Of the forenoon's
program at the Dog River town. Owing
to a conhiction Of the circus July II, it
is improbable that the scheduled game
between the Bonacoords and the Barre
Hin Rovers win be played. That game
Is to figure in the league standing. but
outdoor sports are likely to b. discount
ed in favor Of the circus. On the same
SATURDAY. however. the BARRE Rangers
win Journey over 70 Hardwick and play
the town team in the first game between
the two league teams.
