Recruiting Officer Has Papers Stolen

A theft of a most serious na- ture occurred in Petersburg Sat- urday night when a parcel of papers belonging to Lieut.. (. c. Clark, a naval recruiting officer, were stolen from the hotel.
 The papers had no monetary value, but their loss stopped the work of recruiting until they were recovered.
 As soon as it became known that the theft had occurred the marshal and several loyal citi- zens got busy on the case but were unable to get the slightest clue.
 Being unable to proceed with the work of recruiting with his records and blanks gone Lieut.. Clark and party proceeded to Ketchikan. Shortly after his ar rival in Ketchikan Lieut.. Clark received a cable message advising him that the stolen property had been recovered, and he at once returned to Petersburg.
 The alleged thief is a man named James O'Donnell, who claimed that he was nnder the influence of liquor and thought he was taking his laundry. The Petersburg laundryman stated that O'Donnell had never had anything laundered in his laun- dry. O'Donnell is of the I.W.W. type. He served a jail sentence in Juneau last year, and later was in trouble in Ketchi. kan. When O'Donnell gets through with this case he will probably be able to distinguish between a bundle of laundry and a parcel of government papers, whether he is drunk or sober.
 The seriousness of the offense is indicated when it is known that a failure to recover the stolen property might have re- suited in the War Department closing the port of Peterburg un- til after the war.

TWO INVESTMENTS
 FROM WRiNGELL
Ellery Carlson and c. c. Davis Accepted for Service on
 Submarine Chasers

Two navo. recruiting officers, Lieut.. C. (. Clark and Liert. Dr. R. C. Davis of the medical corps, arrived here yesterday afternoon on a government hoat for the purposr of enrolling men for ser vice on submarine chasers now being built ,., Bremerton.
 After .he theft of Lieut.. Clark's pa, IFS at Petersburg the recruiting party left for ketchi- kan and on this account the im- pression was general in Wrangell that t..e recruiting party would not call in here at all. Conse- Quentiv several young men who came in town the first of the week for the express purpose of enrolling had gone out again. Stephen Grant who was very aaXiCs.s to enroll left for Ground- hog only few hours before the arrival of the party.
 Upon the arrivalof the rccruit- iag party in Wrangell Capt. J. c. Grant placed the Wraneell hotel at the disposal of Lieut.. Clark as a recruiting station. A number of those presenting then selves for enrolment were turned away for various reasons, generally on account of over age.
 Six physical examinations were made only two passing. They were C. C. Davis and Ellery Clifford Carlson. On account of Mir. Carlson S age it was neces- sary for him to have his parents consent. This was willingly and periodically given, the father volunteering his own services also, but was refused on account of his age.
 Both of the young men who passed are prize specimens physi- cally, and will be able to render their country invaluable service. Alr. Davis was formerly in the navy and seemed glad to get back into the service in a time of the country's need. And Ellery! He was all enthusiasm. It was probably the happiest moment of his life when he was handed a certificate showing that he had passed and had been enrolled. The two Wrangcll recruits will remain here until called, which will be just as soon as the sub- marine chasers now being built are completed.
 The recruiting party left last evening at 9 clock for ketchi- kan via Union Bay.
