NO TIME FIXED FOR
MILITIA TO CO AWAY
General Wickersham Says
Definite Idea as TO De-
parture is Lacking
MAJOR MARSHALL IN
RECRUITING SERVICE

Il have no definite idea as to when
the Delaware Militia will move" was
the statement OF Adiutant General l.
p, Wickersham this morning. No
orders have been received 10 give any
indication as to when the troops may
be expected to break camp. although
the opinion that prevails over the
camp is that they will move tomor-
row. But there is no official founda-
tion for this report.
Having received all their needed
equipment, and with everything in
readiness to break camp at a moment s
notice. the militiamen hold 70 the
policy of watchful waiting. Anxious
and ready to see service on the border
the boys" are greatly disappointed
that they have received no orders to
move. The equipping Of the second
battalion was concluded today, And
there is little else TO do now but wait
and drill. and drill and wait
The men are feeling the monotony
Of the camp. They long for some
thing TO happen" some order TO give
them an idea as to whether they will
move to the border or TO their homes.
Fer about a week the boys were all
given leave Of absence in the evening.
This plan. since the mastering in Of
the two hattalions, has been changed
and millaamen now are allowed leave
only on business and with a pass from
the commanding officer This fact
has caused the men TO believe that
the message 10 break camp is expect
ed az any time.
The men have received all their
equipment. The shoes. Of the regula-
tion military style, have been issued.
They are issued about one and a half
sizes larger than the shoes usually
worn and are much wider. With a
great deal of marching in store for
them. the mems feet will spread Two
shirts and two pairs Of trousers. with
leggings and stockings have been
given each man Coats were not is

court LENIENT AS
POSSIBLE AGAINST STOUT

Judge Churchman declared he in
tended TO extend clemency in the
case Of Martin Stout arraigned in
City Court this morning on a charge
Of larceny of hides. Stout was ar
raigned yesterday morning on charges
of pointing a pistol and of carrying
concealed a deadly weapon, and the
cases we're continued until today.
Witnesses declared the man guilty of
all charges. He denied larceny Of
the hides.
Testimony offered regarding the
character OF Stout showed that he
was about p years old, that he had
been sent to the Ferris Industrial
School some years ago, but that he
had been trying to do right for the
past two years.
II was disclosed he was almost the
only support of his grandmother and
that he had been troubled by an
uncle. Fear of this man was sug-
gested as a possible explanation for
the gun-toting. Testimony Of Stouts
witnesses made a strong impression
on the court.
Judge Churchman called attention
TO the serious offences with which
Stout was charge, but declared IN
view Of the unusual conditions at
tached to the case he was going to
give the man all the chance possible
For pointing a pistol Stout was
fined S25 and costs or one month in
the workhouse On each of the other
two charges he was placed under $500
bail for Court of General Sessions
On the gun-toting charge Stout
could have been sentenced to one
years Imprisonment.
