AMERICAN BOYS BEST
BOMB TFROWERS

Washington. Sept. l5.-Don't
take your boy behind the wood
shed if he throws a baseball
through the window, but encour-
age him in his efforts to learn to
throw" said an officer OF the
United States Marine Corps to-
day. "Americans would be the
best bomb and hand grenade
throwers in the world, and there
fore the best fitted to fight under
modern conditions, such as those
IN Europe today.
"The average American youth
early learns to throw baseball
accurately and with speed, and
thta is the reason we are as a ma
ton especially fitted for trench
warfare. Baseball lis encouraged
in the Marine Corps, and the skill
displayed by marines-even un-
trained recruits-in the bomb and
hand grenade drill is nothing
short of remarkable"

REPUBLICAN MAJORITY
is $4,000 IN MAINE
Largest Vote in History of the
State Polled at State
Election

Portland, Me, Sept. 12.-The
largest vote in the history OF
Maine was cast at the state cleo
ton yesterday. The total vote
will approximate 10000. These
figures have not been approached
since 1890, the year the Democrat
and Greenback parties fused,
when the total was l47 ,8O2. In
the last presidential year and two
years ago it fell below $4,000.
The receipt today OF the vote
from the border and a few isolat-
ed towns increase the plurality OF
Carl F. Milliken, Republican, for
governor over Governor Oakley
{. Curtis, Democrat, from the in
Dictated figures OF $1,000 last
night, to $4,000 Indicated plural
tics for the other Republican
candidates were confirmed by a
revision OF the vote. The Repub-
leans viii lhavc solid delegations
i'll both branches of congress and
will easily control both houses of
the legislature.

WOODS VISIT TO
HOLD THE TROOPS

Macon, Ga, September IL
That the Georgia troops will be
detained at Camp Harris for at
least two weeks before they are
told whether they are going to
the border or not is now consid-
cred certainty because of the
announced visit of Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood, former chief of
staff, United States army, and
now in command of the depart
ment OF the east with headquar-
tiers at Governors Island, N. Y.
According to advices received
yesterday morning by Adjt. Gen.
Van Holt Nash in a letter from
the department of the east, the
time that Maj. Gen. Wood will
visit the camp at Macon is not
made known, but simply men
tons the fact that the general will
visit here Sin connection with the
inspection of the militia camps in
the South"
To Leave After Woods Visit
1t is generally believed by the
officials at Camp Harris that the
visit of Maj. Gen. Wood will pre-
ccde the movement of the Georgia
troops to the Mexican border on
y a short while. Since the long
tcn-day inspection by Inspector
General T. 9. Donaldson, it has
been thought by many at the
camp that as soon as Col. Donald
sons report went into the depart
ment headquarters that notice
would be sent for the troops to
entrain for the border.
The contemplated visit of Mai.
Gen. Wood adds more strength
to the report that the troops
would soon move to the border
to take the place of many of those
ordered to leave for their respec-
tive camps where they have been
ordered demobilized. 1t is the
belief of those close to military
affairs in the state that the re-
naming units in mobilization
camps will be given their turn
and that the general movement to
the border will be in command as
soon as the inspection tour of
Gen. Wood is completed.
1t has even been limited at
Camp Harris that each unit as
soon as inspected, will be ordered
- the border and that service to
be seen ~ those yet to go will be
six months, at least, as against
but two or three months service
given the units that were first to
90.

TWO KILLED IN CRASH
IN NEW YORK STRIKE
Rioting Marks Night, Shots Are
Fired and Several Arrested

New York, Sept. 12.-The first
serious accident of the street rail
way strike occurred early today
when trolley car OF the Union
Railway company in the Bronx
operated by a green moterman
got beyond control on a steep
grade and jumping the track at
curve, crashed into two jitney
BUSES, killing two persons and
severely injuring thirteen others.
Four of the injured may die. The
car crew was arrested.
After a night of intermittent
iotlngr, mOtormen on the Sixth
and Ninth avenue elevated roads
reported to the police that they
had been fired upon by strikers
from roof tops. Third avenue ell
evated trains were repeatedly
bombarded with bricks and stones
from buildings. One passenger,
a woman, was struck on the head
and seriously injured. Five ar
rests were made.
The congest on on the subways
and elevated roads today was
even more pronounced than yes
terday, due to the fact that there
was little or no service on the
surface lines of Manhattan and
the Bronx.

THOUGHT LITTLE APE
WAS MISSING LINK
Dutch Captain Brings Laughing
Animal 10 Bronx Zoo.

Captain Marsch, of the Dutch steamer
Medan, which arrived yesterday,
thought he had brought the missing
link from Pedang, Java, but W. I.
Hornaday, director of the Bronx Zoo
has a familiar acquaintance with the
little animal, of the family known
technically as an anthropoid ape. rms
midget of the gorilla family stands
only three feet high, walks continually
on his hind legs, and wears his coat
of bristly hair eight inches long.
The little ape IS a congenlal COM
panion. as he is always laughing-a
ouiet. contagious chuckle, that makes
the hearer wonder what the good joke
is. He is a nimbe animal, making an
eighteen-foot flight through the ar
from a swinging trapeze, without any
apparent effort. Bananas, SOFT bolied
eggs and rice form his chief diet.
A friend of Captain Marsch, on a
shooting expedition in the Java jungle,
thought he heard human laughter and
waited until he saw the quarry before
firing into the dense underbrush. Then
the little ape appeared. He was easily
captured. and the friend turned MIN
over TO Captain Marsch.
Another dwarf arrived yesterday on
the Medan in the shape Of Java
antelope, only four feet nigh and with
LEGS nearly as thin as heavy LEAD
pencil. Both animals have been pre-
sented to the Bronx Zoo.

were indicted as a result Of an agree
ment between Police Commissioner
Woods and District Attorney Swami to
push the charges in spite Of the MagIs-
trate's decision.
The "bookes'" pleas followed the
sentence yesterday by Judge Delehanty
of Leonard Blumenstack, saloon
keeper, of 81 whitehall Street, con-
victed Of making a wager on horse
race. He was sentenced to pay fine
of $3.50 or spend ten days in the city
prison. The three who did not plead
guilty say they will stand trial. Nearly
all of the defendants operated in the
financial district. They were arrested
in December by Lieutenant (Honest)
Dan Costigan.
In passing sentence on Blumenstack
Judge Delehanty said because his con-
viction was test case and had re-
suited in saving the county the cost
of fifteen more trials. he would not
send the defendant to the penitentiary.
He said he hoped the fine would serve

MILLIONS FOR PORK
APPROVED BY WILSON
Joy in Congress When River and
Harbor Bill Is Signed.

Washington, July 27.-There was JOY
in Congress to-day when word came
that President Wilson had signed the
s42 900. 900 river and harbor bill. UP
TO the last moment there had been
grave fear that the President might
veto the bill.
Several friends Of the Administra-
ton who were quite sure he would veto
il had pointed out that the revenue
now being derived from the present
sugar duty IS only about $40 ,OOO,OoO, ana
that the President had completely re-
yersed his position on sugar because ne
believed the Treasury had to have the
money. -,
Progressive Republican Senator'S. ike
Kenyon, Norris and La Toilette, ana
Representatives like Lenroot and Frear,
were hoping even more than the Al
ministration Congressman that the
President would veto the bill, which
they regard as little less than a scan
dal..
They pointed to the fact that Presi-
dent Wilson gave his consent, although
after much delay, 10 the compromise
which followed the two Burton fill
busters against river and harbor bills
The only explanation they could offer
to-day for the Presidents signature
was that he was afraid TO antagonlZe
on the eve of election and before get
ting all his programme through Con-
gress so many members Of his party
on Capitol Hill.
