AGED MAN HOMELESS;
SAYS SON IS CAUSE

Tears were in the eyes of John
George, a man perhaps IS years Old
as this morning he told to the police
the story OF how his son had sold his
home and taken away from il the fur
niture that was his.
Mr.. George returned to his home at
1926 Eleventh avenue last evening to
find it was sold and the furniture gone
He went to a neighbor's house where
he was attended by a physician during
great portion of the night, to shock
of his discovery having sickened him.
This morning he sWore out a war
rant for the arrest of his son for theft
Of the furniture. The house. says Mr.
George, was decided over to the young
man some time ago upon the latter's
advice
The value of the furniture was given
as $50. The house was worth about
$500. Together, they formed all the
possessions the man had in the world
The father also charged his son with
having caused the removal OF his moth
er, Georges wife. to the county in
Urinary Then he Influenced the father
to deed over property to him. Finally,
the warrant charges, he sold the fur
niture.
The young man has been employed
at the Lyons laundry as a driver. PO-
lice are looking for him.

ILLINOIS Men
RESUME MARCH

San Antonio, Texas. July 25.-The
first Illinois brigade resumed its
march today to the government mill
tary reservation at Leon Springs with
only three men missing. They are at
the base hospital here, but the record
indicated their return was due TO oTdi-
nary illness rather than to the Tigor of
march
So poor a showing was made yes
terday when the Illinois men had Gov
cred in light marching order less than
ten miles, that officers of the regular
army were watching the result of to-
days march, about the same distance,
with unusual interest.
Almost One-thiTd of the brigade fell
out yesterday at one time or another
and received lifts in ambu lances, mo-
tor trucks or passing automobiles to
whose drivers they appealed. The fact
that none of them were returned to
the hospital here during the night.
however, convinced army officers at
the base that most Of the stragglers
were shirkers rather than victims of
heat and fatigue
Reports OF regular army observers
to department headquarters indicate
that the number of those who fell out
in the march Of the Illinois brigade.
was about the same in all three regi-
ments, the showing Of the First being
a little better perhaps than that of the
Second and Seventh. The exact num-
Der who dropped out is not known
even TO headquarters officers, since in
most cases they were ordered out Of
ambulance and motor truck and back
into line when they had ridden for a
time and became rested.
Regular army officers ascribe the
large number of stragglers entirely to
the softened condition of the men. The
marching was done in light order, no
packs being carried and the distance,
10 miles, was made at an average of a
little more than two miles an hour.
