WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 90
At least one West Virginian will take
the next examir .tion for appointment
as provisional second lieutenant in the
army, and unquestionably there will
be more as the date of the examination
has been set far enough ahead to give
others ample time to prepare for the
test. It will be held January 80, 1917,
according to an announcement made
today by Adjutant General Mccain,
and applications to take it should be
In that officials office on or before De.
cember 31st next. The last examina.
ton was held last month and should
all who took it pass, which is unlike.
ly, there will be at least 600 appoint.
ments to be provided for in the com
ing January examination.
There are bills pigeonholed In com.
mittee introduced by the states alert
congressman which proposed locating
the then proposed government armor
plants on sites available from Wheel.
ing to Bluetield and about all availa.
BILE locations in between. Since the bill
has become a law that the government
shall go into the armor plate business
to tho extent, at least, Of one plant
to cost s11,000,0O0 it may as well be
understood that the location Of the
plant is not going to be established
by the mere passage Of a bill in Con.
gress. 1t is to be located by the Secre.
tary Of the Navy, whose selection of a
site must have the approval of the
general board. Secretary Daniels has
set September 10 as the date for con.
s%fderation of proposals from cities ano
towns that have sites to offer, togeth.
er with such offers as private manu-.
facturers may submit for the sale Of
their establishments to the govern.
ment.
On that date members OF the general
board and Rear Admiral Strauss, chief
Of ordnance, will be present to hear
claims Of the cities which have asked
for the plant. A written brief for con.
sideration of the general board, which
under the law must finally approve the
site chosen by the Secretary Of the
Navy, must be filed in each case.

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-10-03

The Chicago Herald sneaked up to
the doors of the City Hall early to-
day and laid a neat package on the
steps. It was marked "slot machine
graft scandal" That was the latest
round in the bitter tilt between the
Herald and the Thompson admins
tration.
The expose of connections be-
tween slot machines and the Sports
mems club, athletic organization IA
thered by Mayor Thompson and his
camp followers, was pulled by the
Herald. Then the evidence was
handed to States Atty HOyne.
But the paper was beaten out on
an exclusive story because HOyne's
men decided to make raid on the
offices of the Sportsmen's club yes
terday, fearing that the bosses of the
club would get tip and destroy rec
ords. When the raid was made yes
terday afternoon papers got the COM
plete yarn:
It was the Herald that first got
Whit of the slot machine situation.
The paper heard that a Fellow named
Flint. had been mixed up in the Oper-
alton of slot machines and that he
quit the bunch in a huff. They got
hold of him and he talked; hen the
stuff was handed to Hoyne.
Asst States Atty Henry Berger
was assigned to the case. His state
ment today just about sums up the
information that his Office has on the
connection between the City Hall, the
Sportsmen's club and slot machines.
It follows:
Geo. c. Flint, for ten years
friend of Charles Essig, secretary Of
the Sportsmen's club, met Ollie Viii
iams of the SilVerKing Novelty Co.,
indianapolis, Ind, in New Orleans,
before the 1915 election when
Thompson went over. Williams asked
Flint if there was any chance Of put
ting slot machines in Chicago. Flint,

brought to the offices of Jas. Pugh,
Thompson campaign aid, in the Pugh
Terminal Warehouse on E. Illinois st.
Pugh, Essig and Flint looked the ma
chine over. Later the machine was
brought to the. rooms of the Sports
mems club and the trio, together
with Chief of Police Healey, looked
it over again.
''Healey is supposed to have said:
Jim, she looks alright Two weeks
later an order was inserted in the po-
lice bulletin to let the machines run.
This order was copied on circulars
and used as advertising matter by
the gum slot machine company.
Z 'Luthardt's part in the slot ina
chine work was this: If a saloon or
cigar man hesitated about putting in
a machine he was told to call Lut-
hardt. Luthardt said the machine
was o. X
Two dollars a week on every ma
chine operated went to Essig. They
had as many as 1000 machines run
ming in Chicago. They collected
$4,000 a week for a time.
Flint took this money from VII
Hams and gave it to Essig part of the
time Then Williams took it to Essig
direct.
''The name of Essig and the Sports
mems club was put on the machines.
Twelve men solicited. Those who
sold sold life memberships in the
.Sportsmen's Club were: E. T. CARR
gan, Thos. PhiIbin, H. P. Adolphus,
Thos. McWaIters, Louis Kreitzer and
Geo. Behn.
Those who handled slot machines
were: Sig. Hart, Jas. Handy, B. S.
Rieger, Phil Appelbaum, Jas Wing,
Phil Wolcoff and Frank Moy. The
leader was supposed to be Sig. Hart.

to have put machines follows: Geo.

 Added interest is given the produc- tion by the appearance of the young and beautiful star in the role of a mo- del during which, in various scenes which take place in the artists studio, she appears in number of nude poses.
 Entertainment concerns a young wife and her equally young husband. The former is insanely jealous and in one of her spells of anger rips to pieces his masterpiece, when she learns that he has fallen in love with his beauti- full model "The Yellow Menace" is on the same program.

DaVi0 Harum, easily the best of all American comedy dramas, which is being shown at the Elks theater, is the most popular bill presented by a dramatic stock company in this city during the present season. Perhaps one of the reasons for the success is the quaint, but nevertheless typical philosophy of that famous horse trader David Harum.
 But there isn't any doubt of the main reason for the great success of this play at the southwest's foremost family theater. It is the high class manner in which the vehicle is being staged under the capable direction of Manager Ray F. Brandon who, him. self, ably assumes the leading role of David Harum.
