It is proposed that the equipment OF

There are military schools In the ma

which the government helps support
and which turn out about 10, 600 grad :
yates a year. These men are GOOD ma
lterial for reserve officers. They need
a bit Of actual service to bring home

Coroner James r. Dunn and Chief
Of Police Wolf OF Yonkers have begun
to-day an investigation TO determine
whether there is any truth In the re-
markable confession made 60 the Dis
trict Attorney stan In New York
yesterday by a distinguished looking
Austrian calling himself Frederick
Mors. wherein he accused himself OF
the murder by poison of eight aged
inmates OF tho German Odd Fellows
Home near Yonkers.
The Coroner announced to- day that
nc would order the disinterment OF
the body Of the aged inmate named
Haensel, who died. according to tho
confession made by Mors. by arsenic
administered at the orders OF the
Homes superintendent. J. Bangert.

yield some startling revelations"
said the Coroner. whether he told
the truth or lied. there is much that
needs investigating In the matter OF
the Ming Of death certificates at the

Coroner Dunn has learned already
that Mors. or Moehrs. as he was
known TO inmates OF the homo. held a
peculiar position In the institution,
inasmuch as he was called upon to
treat the people housed there In
minor cases OF illness, though no held
no diploma In medicine. Mors had
been to medical school In Vienna
but had failed Of graduation. 30
Dunn has been told, and came to
this country to escape the disgrace
Of his being dropped from the classes.
When he was accepted at tho homo
last July in the capacity Of an or
derby his medical knowledge became
known and Dunn insisted to-day that
Mors was allowed to administer med
icines TO tho aged and infirm inmates
when he had no right to do 10.
Thus ample opportunity was Givcn
