Prisoners Statements

almost flew into a rage. He could
not see why a Jew should fight for
government which in times Of peace
gave him no vote and no part in the

the Central troops would get to Blu
charest in few days and hang them
all, especially Bratianu and Take
Jonescu who had SO needlessly i,l-

ARMY MEDICAL
STANDARD BEST
in ITS HISTORY
Organization in Mexico
Reaches Plane Unattained
in Other Years.

SAM Antonio, Tex, Nov. 24.-With-
in the last five months the most
complete medical organization known
to the United States army has been
developed to care for the 10000
state and regular troops stationed at
border points and in Mexico.
The system includes five base hos
pitfalls. located at strategic points in
the long stretch of border territory;
eight camp hospitals at other points
where troops are stationed. a canton
ment hospital at Columbus, N. M, to
serve the force on duty in Mexico and
26 ambulance companies and Al field
hospitals distributed among troops in
the field.
The base and camp hospitals afford
accommodation for a total of 1900
patients and have medical and sur
gical facilities equal to the finest hos
pitfalls. Not more than half the beds
have been occupied at any one time
since the nations militia strength
was called into, the federal service,
but the room is available in case of
need.
Back Of this army is the potential
organization. A hospital train Of 10,
Pullman cars. with a capacity Of $50
patients has been placed in use to
transport patients from the camp to
the base hospitals and from base hos
pitfalls to general military hospitals
in various parts Of the country,
should a campaign in Mexico be I'M
dertaken. These larger institutions
are the Walter Reed hospital at
Hot Springs, Ark. and the Lettimann
hospital at San Francisco. About L.
200 beds are vacant in the three hos
pitfalls at the present time.
In addition, a number of army
posts have been selected for trans
formation into general hospitals in
case of emergency. This list includes
Fort Mcpherson, at Atlanta; Fort
Oglethorpe, also in Georgia; Fort
Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis,
and other army stations where bar

RICHARD CROKER rs
SEVENTY-THREE TO-DAY


Richard Croker. former chief of
Tammany Hall and one of the most
picturesque figures in American poll
1tics was born seventy-three years ago
to-day at Black Rock, Ireland. After
Eretiring from the leadership of "the
siwigwam" Mr.. Croker went to Eng
Hand and bought fine estate at Wan
ltage, but the English climate didn't
agree with him, 80 he returned to his
native ireland, which he had aban-
tdoned for America when two years
/ old Glencairne, his Irish estate, is
an abode of magnificence, but even
more important than the villa are the
stables and barns. provided for his
string of blooded race horses. AL
though the son of an Irish farmer,
Richard Croker came of a family of
considerable prominence in Ireland
which boasts an ancient coat of arms
bearing the motto Deus ALT eos"
(God feeds them''). Young Richard
received his education principally in
the streets of New York, and he won
his first political honors by the power
of his bare fists.

'acks are available for hospital pur-

racks are available for hospital pur-
poses.
The medical corps has complete
equipment in storage for 20 eVacua-
ton hospitals and two base hospitals.
An evacuation hospital takes care of
800 patients and q base hospital ac-
commodities 500, so the total reserve
equipment ready for use at mo-
ment's notice is sufficient for 5000
men. Evacuation hospitals are en-
tirely under canvas and are intended
for use along an extended line Of
communication.
The base hospitals now in service
are located at Fort Sam Houston
Fort Bliss. Brownsville, Eagle Pass
and Nogales. Serving as feeders for
these institutions are the camp hos
pitfalls located at the following points:
Laredo. 120 beds; Del Rio, rs beds;
Maria, $50 beds; Deming, $50 beds;
Douglas, 800 beds; Llano Grande, 200
beds; McAllen, $50 beds, and Fort
Clark, $50 beds.
Last July when state troops began
arriving at the border the only army
establishments for the care of sick
were the post hospitals at Fort Sam,
Houston, and Fort Bliss and much
smaller places at Laredo and a few
other border points. Practically the
entire system Of base and camp hos
pitfalls has been built since the call on
the National Guard was made.
AS a result of the scientific meth
DDS adopted by the medical corps and
the steps taken to insure absolute
sanitation in border camps, the big
company of regulars and militia has
set anew health record. From May.
to October 81. there were only 75
deaths from disease in the force OF
more than 10000 and Of this small
number only 81 deaths were due to
infectious maladies..
Typhoid fever was formerly the
worst scourge Of camp, but 1t has no
place among the troops along the
Mexican border. From May 1 to
October Is only "a cases of typhoid
developed and no \ deaths resulted
from the disease. All Of these cases
were among the National Guard or
CARNATIONS. where in some instances
they were not inoculated with typhus
serum until after regiments had come
to the border. There was not a single
case among the $4,000 troops of the
regular army engaged in patrol duty
and stationed in Mexico with General
Pershing's, command.
In Spanish-American war days
over a period of eight months in 1898,
among $4,000 regulars and volun-
teers, the typhoid epidemic reached
the enormous total of $1,000 cases
and there were 2,192 deaths from the
disease.

SUNDAY MOVIES
ILLEGAL STATE
COURT DECIDES
Violation of Sabbath Law
: Says a Majority of the
Judges.

Albany, Nov. pa decision de-
claring Sunday motion picture exhi-
bition violations of the state statute
was handed down to-day by the APP
pellate Division for the Third De-
partment. The decision was in the
nature of an Interpretation of the
Sunday Observance Law and not in
the form of an order directed against
any playhouse.
The case grew out of the arrest Of
Leroy H. Bender, of this city, a NOV
ing picture theatre owner, for al
legged violation. Of a local ordinance
prohibiting Sunday exhibitions.
Bender was discharged from GUS
tody on a writ of habeas corpus when
Supreme Court Justice Morschauer,
Of Poughkeepsie, held that the law
had not been violated. Justice
Morschauer's decision was in accord
ance with a ruling of the Appellate
Division for the Second Department
in. 1908, that the Sunday law did not
apply to moving picture theatres.
/ To-days decision reverses previous
decisions, but because Associate Jus
tice John woodward. dissented from
the opinion Of Presiding Justice John
M. Kellogg and Associate Justices
George +. Lyon, Wesley Howard and
Aaron v. S. Cochrane, recourse to the
Court of Appeals can be had.
Lawmakers Hold Remedy.
The majority opinion to-day, writ
ten by Justice Lyon, suggests that the
legislature alone can decide how Sun
day shall be observed and is the sole
judge of acts proper to be prohibited.
The opinion set forth: x
eff the existing law is in any
way unjust or unsatisfactory the
remedy is by application to the
legislature to modify or annul it,
not by application to the court,
whose sole duty is to construe it
and say what the legislature
meant by passing it,"
The opinion reviews the. circum-
stances of Bender's arrest, and refers

BRIDGEPORTER
IS ARRESTED
BY HIS COUSIN
Murphy, Port Chester Po-
liceman, Takes in Murphy
of Park City.
Especial to the Farmer.)

rortchester, Nov. 24.-By reason OF
The variety Of their work, the police
are continually meeting new PROB
lens and are daily facing situations OF
varied character, but it remained Tor
Patrolnan Timothy Murphy to be the
chief figure in one of the most Pc
cuiiar circumstances ever noted In
local police records.
Yesterday he took into custody a
man whom he believed he had never
seen before. When the man was CIV
ing his pedigree to the desk sergeant,
Patrolman Murphy listened intently
and heard the following responses to
questions askedS ~
Name? Patrick Murphy.
Birthplace? ireland.
Address? Bridgeport, Conn.
When the stranger had finished an
swering the questions asked him, the
sergeant mentioned the officers name
who had made the arrest.
Murphy? Tim Murphy" MUIR
INJURED the man under arrest. 'Why,
he's my brother"
Like -- am retorted the pa
trolman. What do you mean? I
never saw you before.
Aftep-the Bridgeporter had been led
off to a cell, charged with a trivial
offense, Paddy Murphy, attache at
the Strand Theatre and g. brother of
Patrolman Murphy. happened along.
He consented to take a look at his
namesake and Immediately recognize
ed him as cousin, not only of his, but
also Of the officer who had made the
arrest.
The local Paddy said that he had
come across in the same boat with the
Bridgeport Paddy" thirty or more
years ago, but had not seen him since.
Patrolman Murphy had not seen the
Bridgeporter in twenty-seven years. At
that time the cousin was in his teens,
while now he is stalwart fellow with
q heavy black mustache, which ac-
counted for his failure to recognize
him.
Ever since coming to this country,
the Bridgeport Murphy said. he had
worked in that city, now having
charge OF q large number of men
there. Judge Brophy suspended sem
tence, and after q cordial leavetaking
between him and his local cousins, he
left town for Bridgeport. declaring
that he had fully forgiven his Port
chester cousin Ter arrestings him. @yaw--s'
1t seems that the Bridgeporter real
1y has a brother named Tim" who
is employed in Greenwich. and it was
to him he referred when he declared,
in Patrolman Murphy's presence. that
Tim" Murphy was his brother. Even
the brother in Greenwich had not seen
him in many years, SO the mans ar
rest by Patrolman Tim" resulted in
quite family reunion.

Maximilianis Widow
Still at Bouchot

Amsterdam, Netherlands. Nov "a
The Telegratf's frontier correspondent
learns the Empress Charlotte, widow
of Emperor Macmillan of Mexico,
still resides at the castle of Bouchot,
near Brussels. The castle and the
park have not been touched by the
Germans and soldiers are forbidden to
enter the grounds. The Empress has
never been informed Of the war but
often asks why King Albert and
Queen Eliza beth do not visit her any
more. The Empress Charlotte has
been suffering from insanity for many
years.
The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1916-11-24

to his contention that he should bt
discharged because the phrase in the
statute, "or other public sports, exer
cises or shows" does not apply to In
door performances. Regarding this
the opinion says:
1.-The words or other public
sports, exercises or shows are
presumed to have been used by
the Legislature in their ordinary
and familiar sense and meaning,
and are to be SO understood and
construed. Acts relating to the
observance of the Sabbath are
remedial statutes and are to be-
construed literally in respect to
the mischiefs sought to be rem
edied.
1.-THE vital question to be
decided upon this appeal is:
What did the legislature mean
when it wrote into the statute
relating to the observance Of
Sunday following the prohibit
ton against shooting, hunting,
fishing, horse-racing, gaming
the words 'or other public
sports, exercises or shows?' Did
it intend to prohibit exhibitions
IN the nature OF the ordinary
moving picture show? It would
seem clear that the answer to
that question must be in the af-
firmative."
Fayors More Employers.
The opinion also states that the
trend of recent legislation has beer
to protect, SO far as possible, the
right of employees to rest on Sunday
and that no good reason is apparent
for denying that privilege to the
thousands of employees of moving pic
ture theatres in the state.
While the court proceedings were
instituted to test the legality of ar
Albany city ordinance, to-day's deci-
sion applies to all motion picture the
aires In the state. Sunday moving
picture exhibitions have been allowed
in many cities, but have been forbid
den by local ordinances in others, and
in still others the matter has been
left to the discretion Of the police.
