The men are August Seymour ana

They were arrested in Little Rock a

Seymour contained much that was
highly Objectionable to the military au-
thori,ies. Seymour has attracted CON
siderable attention through his habit
of going bare headed at all times, ani
Larsen was connected with him, author

on non military matters, but Lieutenant

found in Seymour's effects. and Lieu
tenant Herwig said that the two have
been in trouble with the police OF sew
eral cities where there arc considerable
bodies OF men or extensive govern
ment possessions.
Nothing definite concerning the pay
for the student officers has been re-
ceived officially at the camp, but com
pany Officers have been supplied with
pay roll blanks, which is thought TO be
preparatory to release OF the appro-
