Naval Recruiting
Halted by Lack Of
Training Stations
Service, Short of Full Strength,
Hasn't Accepted Man in
Past Two Weeks
Iron TIE Tribune Bureau

Washington, May 30.-Not a recruit
has been accepted by the navy for two
weeks, i. was disclosed to-day, al
though the service is still $4,000 men
short Of the authorized strength. The
reason for not accepting in the face
of large number Of applications for
enlIstments is declared TO be the fact
that the navy has not ct present facili-
ties for training moreenen.
This admission was elected to-day
in connection with the announcement
that the Navy Department had con-
tracted for land at Chicago, adjoining
the naval training station there. Sec
rotary Of the Navy Daniels said that
barracks would be constructed at once
and that the new accommodations will
make il possible for the navy TO ac-
cept more enlistments and provide for
the men.
The Navy Department hopes that the
present inadequacy will be speedily
remedied so that the men so vitality
needed may be got into training
without much further delay. II is
pointed out that there was not train
ing station south of Norfolk. but that
now one has been opened at Pensacola,
Fla, and another at Charleston, s. c.
Men enlisting. from the South. it is
said, will be sent to these two stations.

Patrolman and
Defence Lacquer
Hurt in Race Riot
Harlem Officials Are Badly
Beaten in Second Negro
Attack Since Saturday

A policeman and a member OF the
Home Defence League were injured in
Harlem last night in the second negro
outbreak since Saturday. James Mo-
han. a patrolman of the West l35th
Street police station, was bitten in the
face, had a finger of his right hand
almost severed by razor and suffered
a cut on his left hand. Edward Dug
gan, of 319 West bath Street, cap
tain Of the Home Defence League in
the precinct, had to have three stitches
taken in his scalp.
NOLAN. off duty and out OF uniform,
was walking down Lenox Avenue with
his son Thomas, three years old.
"I'll carve yo'r giblets an hang EN-
on my mantel-piece!" hoated through
the swinging doors of saloon at
18th Street.
NOLAN entered. Walter Clark. a
negro. Of II West 18th Street, was
arguing volubly with the bartender,
while ne searched pocket after pocket
without producing a weapon. Mohan
Joined in the search.
Clark, it is alleged. bit piece out of
the policeman's left cheek. NOLAN
grappled with the negro and dragged
him to the street. The bartender
snatched up the little boy and ran at
TOP speed to the police station as
Clark's yells brought black rescuers by
the score.
The reserves came by automobile, &C
companied by Duggan, who happened to
be in the station house. They found
NOLAN and an agent of the Department
of Justice putting up losing fight in
the centre of a mob of more than one
hundred negroes. With bottles and
bricks hurtled from every housetop, the
reserves set to work with their night
sticks and steadily drove the negroes
westward.
Through 18th Street and Seventh
Avenue and southwark almost to the
door of the West 135th Street station
the fight progressed. Realizing the
strategy of the police, the negroes
broke and ran. Clark and William
Grant, of 108 West 13Sth Street, a
negro, were locked up, charged with
feionious assault. Mohan said it was
Clark who had slashed him.

Marshal Seizes
Clarke Pamphlets
AS Fraud Evidence

A United States deputy marshal Wis
tied the Kent Motor Company's plant
on the outskirts of Newark yesterday.
In one of the two shacks which consti-
tute the plant he found and seized
quantities of descriptive pamphlets.
One of them was decorated with a
"bird's-eye view of the plant" which
shows two extensive shops, an Office
building, a test shed and a warehouse
adjacent to a network Of railroad sid
ings and to piers extending into the
Passaic River
This "work of art" will be exhibited
when Frederick II. Clarke and his
father, DR.. Henry c. Clarke, president
and treasurer of the concern, are ar
raigned in the United States District
Court 70 answer to charge of obtain
irg $4,000 through fraudulent use Of
the mails. The arraignment will be on
June u.
The prosecution will contend that the
alluring picture of thriving plant
conjured money out of the pockets of
investors who had no idea that the
actual plant, months after the circular
was issued, would consist only of two
wooden shacks.
The bankruptcy hearing will be con-
tinued to-day before Charles VI. Mason.
referee. Archibald Palmer, attorney
for the New York creditors, will trace
the history OF the successive incorpora-
tons in New York, Delaware and New
Jersey and endeavor TO show that the
result, if not the purpose, was TO
leave the New Jersey corporation with
all the assets while the others re-
tanned the liabilities.
Attorneys for the Clarkes will seek
to have the proceedings dismissed on
the ground that the debts of the New
Jersey corporation are less than $1,000
and that the claims OF the creditors APP

Mayor Thomas L. Raymond, of
Newark, whose name was used BY the
company as a director, issued a state
ment yesterday saying he had tried TO
have his name withdrawn in January,
that he had never received any stock
and never had been elected a director.

Under Coming Order Major
Generals Will Command
2, Not 3, Brigades
Time of Calling
Forces Announced
200 Men for Companies,
with Three Commissioned
Officers, Planned

Washington, May 3o.-An entirely
new plan OF army organization affect
ing the regulars, the National Guard as
soon as its regiments are mustered into
the Federal service and the national
army force Of 100000 men is about to
be announced by the War Department
The size Of American divisions will
be reduced from approximately $4,000
men TO approximately $4,000. This is
roughly the present size Of the German
divisions. Instead Of three brigades
the new order will fix major generals
command at two brigades.
The army organization plan upon
which the War Department officials
have been working up to the present
fixed the number Of men in division
according TO the French and British
standards. The force which General
Pershing will lead abroad is described
as a division. It will be a division un-
der the old rating.
The New York National Guard is now
organized and has been trained as one
division under tke command of Major
General Organ. When the new War
Department plan goes into effect and
when the New York guard is mustered
into the Federal service it probably
will be broken up, possibly into two
divisions.
Each brigade under the new War De-
partment plan will be made up Of four
regiments Infantry only. Companies
of infantry will have 200 men instead Of
$50, the present war strength. Ials
figure is a compromise. British and
French experts advised that infantry
companies be made up Of 250 men.
American soldiers did net like this be-
cause il meant fewer captains and more
second Neutegarts. Under the new
plan company will have a captain.
one first lieutenant and two second
lieutenants. Formerly there has been
only one second lieutenant
a battalion, under the new plan. VIII
consist Of three companies OF infantry
and one machine gun company. The
machine gun company will have l4f men
and Il machine guns uhueI the CUM
mand of q captain, two first lieutenants
and one second lieutenant.
This organization will give 20 each
regiment Of infantry, which will con-
tain 1881 men and 81 officers. three ma
chine gun companies. Heretofore there
has been only one machine gun com
psny 10 a regiment. Even now there is
hardly equipment enough for that. But
rush contracts for machine guns Of all
types, including the Lewis gun, once
despised in the American army, but eff
1eetively used by the British, are now
under way.

'Throngs in Line

For Zone Permits
Marshal Mccarthy Closes
Doors; Registration Time
Being Extended

over a thousand Germans had gath
cred in the Federal Building by 1880
o'clock last night when United States
Marshal Mccarthy arrived with force
of about twenty-five deputies to con-
tinue the task of granting applications
10 those who wish to pass through the
barred zones of Manhattan. The mar
shall had received word from Washing
ton in the afternoon that the time limit
for granting the permits had been ex-
tended from June l to June 8, but he
had no way of letting the aliens know.
lie and his men put in an hour or more
swearing in about three hundred OF the
applicants.
Then he closed his doors and an
bounced to the crowd, which was be-
ing augmented momentarily, that the
Office would be opened again at this
morning.
"My men have been overworked,"
said the marshal, "and ! see no rea-
son Tor taxing their endurance, in
view of the extension of the time
limit. We have put in several strenu-
Gus days and nights, and | think we
shall be able to handle them all with

Office open as late as o'clock some
evenings, if this Is found TO be neces-
sary. but l hardly think it will.'
Last night was the first time in his
tory that an Office of the Federal Build
ing was open for business at midnight,
with the exception of the Postoffice.
A force of watchmen on the first floor
were kept busy turning away those who
came after the Marshal's Office had
been closed.
United States Marshal J. NJ. Power.
Of Brooklyn, who kept his Office open
all day yesterday in the Brooklyn
Postofice Building. also received word
that the time limit had been extended
from June l TO June 0.
United States Attorney Melville J..
France stated yesterday he had
learned that an ex-alderman in Brook
Ign has been doing n thriving business
writing letters at 81 each for enemy
aliens applying for permits TO remain
in the restricted zones. An official
Federal investigation will be launched
within the next few days, according
10 Mr.. France, into the alleged opera
iions of this politician and others who
have been acting as sponsors for alien
applicants without being actually &C
quainted with them.
Between 1000 and 1000 enemy aliens
stormed the plant of Keuifel d Esser,
makers of periscopes and range finding
devices, at Hoboken yesterday and
applied TO United States Marshal
Charles Bollschwieler for permits TO
work in the plant and neighboring
concerns.
Marshal Bollschwieler, who had
come for the purpose of examining
700 employees of the plant. threw up
his hands in despair when he saw the
huge crowd. With the aid of FIVE
clerks, however, he managed TO issue
400 permits during the day.

Mary and Her Pig
May Cut Pork Price

Mary and her little lamb are TO be
found only in nursery books. but Mary
and her little pig will become a thing
Of present reality. If group of New
York State bankers have their way.
Plans have been formed, according TO
the New York State College of Agri-
culture at Cornell. TO lead pigs TO the
youth OF the state. Pork is at present
so high that II is believed only men
trained in finance could advance the
scheme. Here il is:
Any child who desires 10 rear q pig
in all the comforts Of home applies TO
a banker, who produces the porker and
takes the child's note for its price for
one year at 6 per cent. The pig then
is taken into the home circle. and after
a year Of feeding is sold. The banker
is then paid. and piggy's foster father
or mother keeps the balance.
II is believed that IL children take
earnestly 10 pig raising, the price Of
pork will fall considerably.

DR.. Schurman Lauds
Courage Of France,
AT Madison Camp
[By telegraph 10 Tho rnbunel

Madison Barracks, n. Y, May 3d.
The sun helped the student officers cell
citrate Memorial Day to-day by shining
for the time allotted to it in the al
manac. 1t was the first time that It
had done full duty since the students
arrived here.
This was a holiday, and the only mill
tary work was the army exercises for
Memorial Day, which were held at noon.
While the band of the 18th Coast Ar
tillery played "The Star-Spangled Ban
ner" the flag was raised from half TO
full mast and a salute of twenty-one
guns was fred.
During this ceremony the $500 men
in khaki stood at attention. AT its con-
clusion there was a rUsh for the Y. NJ.
C. A. building, where DR.. Jacob Gould
Schurman, president Of Cornell Univer-
sity, was TO deliver the dedicatory adj
dress. Only 600 men were able TO jam
their way into the shedlike structure,
and DR.. Schurman was forced to make
second speech outside.
DR.. Schurman told of the Presidents
efforts TO avoid war and praised the
courage Of France.
'No nobler spectacle has been wit
messed in the world" he said, "since
Greece, twenty-four centuries ago, beat
back the tide Of Persian invaders.
France has been the protagonist Of
democracy.
Before Us are two sets Of ideals,
two policies Of government. two plans
Of international relations. The one is
rooted in arbitrary power, the other Is
democracy and the reign of law. The
moral forces Of the universe are behind
the latter. You young men Of America
will make it prevail"
Following the dedication the cadets
received a half holiday. The afternoon
vas occupied with field athletics, and
in the evening 500 embryo officers par
ticipsted in an entertainment ut Sack
