Fired. British Officer Rega;ns
Honor In French Foreign Legion
John Ford ELLINGTON Reinstated In His Old Command Where
Father Served Before Him After Winning Medals In
the Service of France.

London. Sept. 1s.-All England Is
ringing with the story Of Lieut.. Col.
John Ford ELLINGTON. one of the strong
est Of this strange world war.
1t is the ever appealing human story
Of another nan who came back"
Dismissed by court martial from the
army he had served for nearly 80 years,
just as his regiment was going into
action in France in the closing months
Of 1914, this English officer, disgraced
at a time of life when the chances Of
fate weighed heavily against a man
fighting for suddenly lost honor, found
refuge in that queerest Of all military
organizations, the foreign legion Of
France.
Lost in the mazes Of battlefields, a
mere legionaire in the ranks, Colonel
Ellington, late of the Royal Warwick
shires was all but forgotten. None Of
his old friends, his old fellows, none If
the men who had seen him with the
queens medal for valor in South AZ
RIGA, none of them knew that ELLINGTON
was out there, somewhere in France"
recklessly winning his way back.
But now ELLINGTON Is back in Eng
land. Pinned OIL his breast are two Of
the coveted honors Of France-the mill

Mrs. Clipper to Appear
Against Alleged Crooks

Philadelphia, Sept. 18.-An agent of
the department VI justice will cave to-
night for Chicago to appear against
members Of an alleged Matchmaking
syndicate arrested in hat city Satur-
day night. With him will go Mrs. Ge-
gina Clipper, formerly Of this city but
now residing in New Jersey, who is
expected to appear against some OF
those under arrest.
Mrs. Clipper was a victim OF the al
legged Matchmaking syndicate, according
to the federal authorities, having paid
over to the syndicate a sum of money
said to be less than $500. Some Of the
alleged blackmailers were arrested and
when Mrs. Clipper was about to appear
against them succeeded in getting her
into Canada.
Government agents here today said
the alleged blackmailers had laid them
selves open to a charge of ~obstructing
Justice rather than one Of kidnapping.
1t was the opinion of the agents that
Mrs. Clipper nay have voluntarily gone
to Canada to avoid being q witness and
possibly got her money back.
William Butler, an alleged member
Of the syndicate, who was arrested here
on June 10, charged with attempting to
extort money from a Philadelphia wo-
man to protect her son, was to have
been tried at the present term Of the
federal court here, but as the woman
has since died, the case has been held
up indefinitely. Butler was arrested the
day after An alleged conferedate was
~apprehended in New York.

LACKING AEROPLANES
AERO SQUADS RESIGN
Volunteer Birdmen Disband
After Three Months of
Trench Digging.

New York. Sept. 1e.-The 100 mem
bers Of the first and second aero COM
panies, Of the New York national
guard which were organized soon after
the fight with the Mexicans at Carrizal
will be disbanded today because these
volunteer aviators are tired of waiting
for government aeroplanes with which
to practice.
The second company is composed
mainly of men from Buffalo and vicin-
ity, and is commanded by Captain John
M. Satterfield, Of that city, while the
first company is commanded by Cap
tain Raynal G. Boiling.
Many of the members Of the com
pany have been in camp at the aviation
field at Heripsted, L. l., for three
months or more. They assert hat the
government supplied them with only
two a~reoplanes. These, with others
from the Aero club of America and. the
two machines privately owned, making
a total of eight. 1t is stated also that
the LAen lacked ordinary military
equipment, such as shoes, uniforms

the day.
60 Members In Gang.
There are at least 60 members of the
Syndicate" according to the federal
officials, one third of whom are ONE
Detectives who made the raid said the
~wardrobes Of the eight arrested were
replete with party gowns, sealskin
cloaks and jewels for the women, ana
that each Of the men apparently had a
dozen pair of shoes, as many pairs or
gloves, and other clothing in III pro-

Fake newspaper clippings detailing
the wonderful clean-ups made by a
young eastern plunger in pool rooms
apparently had been used to lure VIC
Tins. One letter found in Donahue's
room at the fashionable south side
apartment house was from the Horse
mans association Of 1863 Market street,
Louisville, KY" signed by j. c, Sauls-
bury, secretary, and addressed to A. L.
Karger. The secretary said he was
sorry to hear Of "Mr. Karger's notoriety
lately and hoped he wouldn't nave an
other occurrence like that again.
1t seemed that Mr.. Karger's picture
had appeared in a newspaper In con-
nection with book-making activities at
the rs ces.
According to department Of Justice
officials today the United Turf Elk
change must have been an exclusive
affair. The rules stated that members
using the clubs rooms in the evening
must appear in full dress.
How Track Game Worked.
Evidently the "Horseman's associa-
tom was known in Louisville as a
grain brokerage house. Code books
showed how wagers on horse races
could be placed and there was appar-
emily TO limit. If the better wanted to
place $50, 900 on a horse he would order
so boxes of red, white and blue matches,
the color depending on the position to
bet on the horse-viz: red, straight;
blue, place; white, show. Conditions of
the track was described as follows:
Dry, oats; muddy, corn; medium, rye
If all these elaborate systems were not
enough to beguile the victim, the fake
newspaper clipping was flashed. The
headlines of this article stated that a
young eastern plunger cleaned up
$50, 900 from Seattle, WASH, off pool
rooms. Identity of man no known to
local gamblers fraterniay." The story
then went on that efforts to get infor-
nation from him had been fruitless.
He had new lost a bet.
Here it was, according to the depart
ment of Justice officials, that Donahue
broke into the game. He would claim
to be the mysterious stranger from the
ca st.
