by tomorrow afternoon, making the
total around 1900. 1t is expected that
LOO men will be in camp before noon
tomorrow. Many of the arrivals TINS
morning are New York notables. Each
man shouldered his camp equipment
and made for his tent in the manner OF
one long used to such a thing.
One man, however, disagreed with
the menu. His name the officers re-
fuse to give out, but II doesn't matter
much. anyway. He came to Captain
Johnston this afternoon, and sald:
Everything here is all right except the
food. You shouldn't give US meat, 1t
is harmful. | ate two meals to-day
with meat at each one, and now I'm
positively sick. You'll have to do
something
CAPTAIN Johnston explained that the
arrangements had reached such de-
veloped stage it would be impossible to
eliminate meat from the bill Of fare,
but that this would have been done
had the man presented his case few
weeks ago.
Another person who invited interest
to-day was Andrew Pickering, sixty
three wears old, of Boston. He wanted
to enlist, but was turned down by Cap
tain Johnston because of age. Mr..
Pickering appealed his case to General
Wood, who permitted him to enroll.
Among those who reached camp to-
dav were Nelson O'Shaughnessy, for-
mer charge d'affaires at Mexico City;
Willard D. Straight, of the firm of j..
P. Morgan & Co.; Dr.. Richard Derby,
Alexander s. Cochran, C.. c. Rumsey
and Perry Beadleston, polo players,

Used to Spend $4,000 a Week;
Now PignatelJi Has % Cents
Dashing Prince Deserted by Wes Parents Checks Up His
Wardrobe of 4 Suits 40 Shirts and Three Overcoats
and Goes Into Bankruptcy-Owes $36,545.6O.

A long, long time Prince Ludovico
Pignatelli dAragon looked at the 28
cents two dimes, a nickel and three
pennies. 1t was all ne had in the
world, besides fourteen suits of clothes,
forty shirts, three overcoats and a few
other personal effects. 1t wouldn't
even pay for drink in one of Broad
ways whitelit places. And yet the
% cents reduced his liabilities from
$50, $3.50 TO S36,545.32.
Like Hamlet, the prince was in a
quandary. To go into bankruptcy, or
not to go: that was the question. His
wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs Jason
Waters, of Rcd Bank and Philadelphia,
had put paddock on the family purse
and marked mo admittance" as far as
the prince was concerned. SO the
prince and his heiress wife, who was
Ruth Morgan Waters, decided to go
into hiding to avoid the worlds jeers
and I-told-you-so smiles. Before that
the prince, who once considered $780,
900 a year for personal expenses a
mere trihe. went into bankruptcy.
The war put a dent in the princes
prospects. FIRST Of all, he got about
$4,000 a week from a wealthy brother
in-law in Russia. The war put an end
to the brother-in-law' wealth
Secondly, Pignatelli couldn't move his
wifc's parents, even if he pleaded on
his knees. Mr.. Waters gave him a
check for 500. With this the prince
paid an instalment on the $4,000 he
owes his attorney. John Patterson, OF
80 Cedar Street But his father-in-
law wouldn't lena an ear to the propo-
sition the dashing prince offered, and
for which he wanted $500.
About year ago Pignatelli was in
an automobile accident in which Ed
ward V. O'Connell, Of 1868 Sixtieth
Street, Brooklyn, was killed. The ma
chine belonged to the princes attorney,
but the judgment that Mrs. O'Connell
obtained was only too realistically
something the prince would have TO
settle for. 1t amounted TO $4,000;
add 81 900 for law fees.
That wasn't the worst of it. For
a year the plaintiff told Prince Pigna-
tell that unless he handed over the
money he would find himself in a vile
dungeon The idea Of bread and water
and clanking chains, such as they have
in Spain, didn't appeal to the prince.
The only way TO escape an ugly pre-
dicament was TO take advantage Of the
Federal bankruptcy laws When Mr..
Waters said he wouldn't countenance
the proposition TO prosecute an appeal,
for which $500 would be necessary,
Prince Pignatelli yielded to the tempta-
ton. lie bankruptcied.
But before that the princess pleaded

Broken arches of the foot are the

Shortly after the Mayor and his as
sociates had fixed up their tent TINS
forenoon, Captain Kelly ordered a
switch made. Mr.. Walton and Mr..
Clark. of Philadelphia, were trans
ferred from the Mitchell tent, Henry +.
LOOMS. of Reading, and +. A. Harri-
son, of Baltimore, taking their places.
The point was TO get men of certain

Captain Kelly, who naturally OBJ
served the Mayor closely, remarked
this evening: Mr. Mitchell is very
good soldier. While every man in the
camp is of a high order of intelli-
gence, they catch on to things even
more quickly than we had anticipated.

Finn Concern, on Attach
ment, Strips Fugitive
Cashiers Apartment.
DISCOVER TWO CASES
OF EXPENSIVE GUNS
Hundreds of Cartridges Litter
Place-VerSes Hint at Wreck
ed Love Affair.

A small but well appointed private
arsenal unknown to advocates OF ma
tonal preparedness was discovered
Yesterday afternoon at $50 West 163d
Street, in the apartment formerly oc-
cupied by Edward G. Kindred, missing
assistant cashier for the Finn
O'Rourke Company.
Deputy Sheriff Edward Leslie and his
men were hunting for new develop
ments in the missing $21 Sob payroll
mystery. They found seven guns, rang
ing from light rifle for target prac-
tice to a double barrelled shotgun, and
hundreds Of rounds of ammunition.
Following close on the revelation that
Kindred had made preparations either
to 90 on a hunting trip or start pri-
vate war of his own came the dlsclos-
ure that he had tried his hand at poetry
and left at least one short story man
uscript in his comfortable bachelor
quarters.
In a closet in Kindred's bedroom one
of the d, uty sheriffs assistants found
thirty large empty violet toilet water
bottles. They found bunch of dried
wish bones tied to the chandelier IN
the dining room and made other Curl
Gus discoveries as Kindred's effects
were packed up ready for removal to a
storage warehouse. But there was
MOTH. z to reinforce the feminine clews
that the police and private detectives
are investigating. If there are four OF
five women who can furnish more in
for .ation about the missing man, his
apartment gave no clew as t. their
identification.
Company Attaches Goods.
An attachment against the property
was made by the Flinn-O Rourke Com
pany, which has begun suit in the SUI
preme Court against Kindred Tor the
alleged conversion of personal prop
erty amounting to $2l,655. Deputy
Sheriff Leslie made the levy on the at
tachment Saturday. After working al
day Monday and yesterday up to p
m, the deputy and his assistant, Louis
Friend, had the goods ready for re-
moval. They will be held at the ware
house pending the outcome Of the suit
or the appearance of Kindred.
For his four room apartment on the
second floor at $50 West l63d Street he
paid $50 a month. The superintendent
of the building showed the deputy
sheriff a receipt for the rent up &c
August Il. Everything in the apart
ment, from furniture and rugs to the
silver decanters that adorned the din
ing room sideboard. gave the impress
sion that this bachelor. known to his
neighb6rs as a woman hater, had more
than a comfortable income. Among hi
personal letters was found a receip
showing he had paid $3.50 for a new

Moses Ichthyophauus,

After suffering all the pangs of
those who lose between the touch and
the clutch, Griswold had found the
red-handkerchief bundle precisely
where it had been hidden; namely,
buried safely in the deckload of
sacked coffee on the engine-room
guard.
1t came to light in the final half
hour of the voyage, when he and his
mates were transferring the coffee to
the main deck, forward. 1t had not
been disturbed; and what had hap
pened was obvious enough, after the
fact. After its hiding, arms-length
deep, in a Granny between the sacks,
some sudden jar of the boat had
slightly shifted the cargo, closing one
Granny and opening another.
With the money once more in his
possession he had a swift return of
the emotions which had thrilled him
when he found himself standing on
the sidewalk in front of the Bayou
State Security with the block of bank
notes under his arm.
AS to the battle for the keeping
which was probably awaiting him at
the st. Louis landing, the prospect of
coming to blows, man-fashion, with
the enemy. was not wholly unwel-
come.
The few necessary preliminaries
were arranged while the Belle Julie
was backing and filing for the land
ing. Since to be taken with the
money in his possession was to give
the enemy the chance of winning at
one stroke both the victory and the
spoils, he made a confederate of the

quarrel with Mcorath. The man was
grateful and loyal according to his
gifts, and Griswold's need was too
pressing to stick at any trife of un-
