MARYLAND SOLDIERS
ENJOY FUN AT CIRCUS
Holiday at Camp Mcclellan For Sol
diers Not Engaged in Necessary
Work, to see Barnum And Bailey
Exhibit.

Camp Mcclellan, Ala, Sept. 20
Two thousand soldiers from Virginia,
Barnum and Bailey's circus,24 quarts
of whisky and two negro pickpockets
came TO Admission today. The Twenty
ninth Division also received its name
the Blue and Gray Division. 1t was
a hectic day in the model city.
The circus and the whisky came
together, and it would be difficult 10
tell which attracted more atten-
ton. Alabama is a dry State. The
military police, with which Troop A,
of Maryland. is connected, brought
the liquor TO light The Admission au-
thorities did the Test.
This afternoon was holiday for
all the soldiers in camp not engaged
on necess ary WORK. Thousands, IN
Guiding hundreds from Brigadier
General Gathers brigade of Mary
tanders, went to the circus.
The brigade commanders decided
upon the name of Blue and Gray for
the division. 1t has a triple signifi-
canoe. Camp Mcclellan, in South
ern State, is named after Northern
general.
Troops from States that remained
in and States that went out OF the
Union in the days of the Civil War,
are in the camp. The capital cities
Of the Union and the Confederacy are
represented by the District of Co
lumbia Artillery, from Washington,
and the Richmond Blues. From Nor
thern New Jersey to Southern Vir-
ginia these soldiers come and the
name of the division signifies the
spirit of reunion.
With the arrival of the First Nir-
ginia Infantry today and the Signal
Corps of New Jersey, the division is
rapidly nearing completion. A regi-
ment of artillery from New Jersey is
expected tomorrow and will be fol-
lowed by two regiments of infantry.
The arrival of these troops will facil
itate the work of organization.
The Maryland troops not engaged
in clearing the drill grounds across
the road from their camps spent this
morning in drill and instruction. At
ter the noon mess they We're off for
the day and there was a general exc
duS from the camp.
The rigid regulations in regard to
taps was more or less disregarded to-
night to permit those soldiers who
did not see the circus this afternoon
to see it tonight and return to camp
without penalty for lateness.

MARTIN WHEATLEY BADLY
HURT This MORNING
Struck over Head With Piece OF Oar
BY Captain Herman Dorman-Now
At Cambridge Hospital, But Not
Expected to Live Through Night.

AS the result of a short quarrel
this morning. which took place on
the wharf at the foot OF Muir street,
Captain Martin Whedtley, formerly
of Reds Grove, but residing for the
past three or four years near and III
| Cambridge is now in the Cambridge
| Maryland Hospital. and Captain Her
! man Dorman, master of the schooner
| A II. ShultZ. is in the county jail,
| likely to be held upon the charge OF
murder.
| The quarrel started about half-paSt
eight O'Clock, and while the blows
were seen by several persons, no one
seems to have been near enough 10
hear just what took place between
! the two men before the assault oc~
Cured. 1t is believed that the trou-
| Bile arose over the earnings OF their
boats. Each of the men, it seems,
| sailed iT a boat belonging to Captain
| Harvey Conway, and the earnings OF
! Captain Dorman were so much in eN-
cess of those of Captain Wheatley
| that an inquiry was Instituted b!
| Captain Conway to ascertain what
| the trouble was, and it was over this
/ inquiry. it is reported, that the trou-
| bic occurred.
Captain Wheatley was struck over
| the forehead with d portion of an oar
| by Captain Dorman, and from the
| first it was seen that the wound was
| a very dangerous one, and he was
rushed TO the hospital in the hope
| that something could be done for
him. AS soon, however, as the in
| jury was examined, it was seen that
, he had not one chance in a thousand
and at this time il is reported that he
is barely alive.
Captain Dorman stated that Cap
| tain Wheatley had abused him in the
most vile language and had finally
stated to him that he would get him
before twelve O'Clock, and that on ac
count of his condition and manner of
speaking, he believed that he inten-
| ded to do him bodily harm.

GENERAL STRIKE
IS UNTHINKABLE
Ivy Lee Tells Engineers Club
This Is No Time For Men
to Push Claims

Speaking last night before the Engi-
neers' Society of Pennsylvania, Ivy
L. Lee, publicity expert and executive
assistant to John d. Rockefeller, Jr..
said "a general railroad strike at this
time is unthinkable. No matter what
justice any one may have in his claims,
this is no time to push them, if in any
way they jeopardize the national
safety"
In summing up the present railroad
crisis, Mr.. Lee said in part: "The rail-
road labor problem is not a contest
between the men and the management,
it is fundamentally a problem affecting
the men on the one side and the public
on the other.'
Rates Must Go I'D, Too
If mems wages are raised the rates
must be raised, too. Otherwise the
service must be curtailed or the re-
turn of capital reduced. Any way you
put it, the public's interests are af-
tected vitality.
Railroad employees should be as high
ly paid as the industry will permit. But
1t is not fair that a few men should be
well paid at the expense of others.
THE present labor crisis is provoked
by 20 per cent. of the employees. They
are demanding what is tantamount to
an increase of 25 per cent in wages.
Their wages are already relatively
high.
No matter whether they are entitled
to this increase or not, certain it is
that If 20 per cent. of the men get such
an increase, the so per cent. should
have it. too.
"A % per cent. increase in wages of
all railroad employees would cost the
companies about $350,000, 900 a year
more. That is equal to an advance in
all freight rates of about IL per cent
The money demanded by the four
brotherhoods would amount 20 about
$109,0s0,000.
Railroad managers would be glad
on merely personal grounds to pay all
their men very high wages. But the
lie to do it.
80. if railroad officers seem stub
born and unyielding, let the publi,
realize that the managers are helpless;
they are merely buffers between the
men and the public.

Mystery Surrounds
Bomb Outrage
BY associated Press

Boston, March II. - The mystery
of the bomb explosion at the court
house yesterday was as deep as ever
to-day. One of the two men killed is
known to have been the janitor of the
building, but the other body has not
been identified. After working all
night the police expressed the belief
that the unidentified victim was the
one who brought the bomb to the
courthouse.
Walter l.. Wedger,State chemist, was
busy with the fragments of the eX-
ploded missile hoping to determine the
nature of it's construction. A connec-
ton between yesterdays outrage and
the explosion of a bomb near the po-
lice station in the north end recently
was sought.
