new CREDIT BUREAU
SECURES CONTRACTS
Retail Merchants Support Plan Of
Expansion.

Washington merchants are gener-
ously supporting the plan for enlarg-
ing the credit bureau OF the Retail
Merchants Association, and credit
service contracts procured thus far
by the committee in charge assure
the success OF the plan. At the regu-
lar bi-monthly meeting Of the credit
mems section of the association last
night the committee reported that
more than half Of the necessary con-
tracts already have been procured.
The new credit bureau, which al
ready has an accumulation of more
than 100000 names, will have sepa-
rate quarters and a large force of en-
pIoyes. Special attention will be
given to the department of accounts.
II is stated. A file Is to be kept on
bad check passers. and a record Is to
be made of the manner in which firms
and individuals take care Of their
charge accounts.
The committee in charge OF the ex-
pansion work is made up Of A V.
Hoffman,, chairman: Mark Lans-
burgh. David Sanger, Herbert Rich,
Charles NJ. Keefer. and Secretary
Charles J. Columbus.

PASSENGERS TO WAIT;

Southern Railway Asks Leave to

Discontinuanee of some OF the pas
senger trains on the Southern Rail-
way system to conserve the coal sup
ply, to release men and equipment
and to clear the tracks for the eff
cient handling OF troops and supplies
for the army and navy is asked by
the company in letters forwarded to
State railroad commissioners by E. II.
Coapman, vice president in charge of
operation OF the Southern.
This step is peculiarly necessary
in the South" Mr.. COapman declared
in making the announcement public
'on account of the extraordinary de
mands made upon the Southern by
reason of the large concentration
camps to be located in the South
which will largely. IL not totally. take
the full carrying capacity of this com
pany to the exclusion OF other traffic
and we hope that the public will co
operate with us and appreciate that
what we are asking il for the good OF
the Government in this crisis.
1--WE must give preference to the
movement of iron. coal, lumber, cop
per. and other war supplies, and al
food products, for the equipping oi
the merchant marine, the navy and
army, and the feeding Of the men; al
well as to the movement Of troops

death in Sing Sing"
This was the verdict today Of prison
officials and authorized witnesses
who saw DR.. Arthur Warren waite.

the electric chair last midnight.
Waite, who murdered his father-in-
law, John z. Peck. OF Grand Rapids,
Mich, and his mother-in-law by poison
and germs. in an effort to gain the
family fortune, died in the firm be-
lief that he would be born again in
another world. At the last he made
arrangements with a New York spir-
itualist to send messages from be-
yond. He will be buried near the
prison.
No Message to Mother.
Waite displayed utter indifference
to all friends, acquaintance, and rel.
atIves. including his mother, in his
last hours.
Rev. Peterson. the Presbyterian
chaplain. asked the condemned man
II he had any message to leave.
"I have nothing to say to anybody
on this EARTH" Waite answered
sharply.

mathematical coldness. 1t was like a

Officers at the training camp are
disposed to ignore the charge that
favoritism was shown against the
District in the selection OF the mem
bers OF the corps- and that there are
200 New Yorkers at the camp, who
should have been sent to Plattsburg.
and so make place for 200 Washing
tonians.
1t is pointed out at Fort Myer that
there Is no basis for this criticism, as
the camp Is being run on a strictly
national basis, with no specified state
allotment.
Only three things were taken into
consideration in the selection OF
rockies: Age, military experience, ana
physical condition. The ideal student
is from twenty-five to thirty years
old. in first class health, of good ed
ucation, and with military experience.
The men who came nearest to measur-
ing up to this standard are the ones
who were accepted. and officers are
quick to resent any intimation that
pull" was used.
They know how many would-be OF
flcers have been disappointed, but
nothing can be done for them now
There isn't even room for 1.9OO men
who have been actually recommended
for the course.
The instructors at the camp are
now concentrating on the tacties
which will be required OF officers In
Europe. The English form OF bay
oret exercises has been adopted, as II
s. less complicated and more effective
than. the American
Much OF the time OF the students Is
devoted to the study and mastery OF
the different signal codes. All over
the parade ground they are scattered
signally to each other, or else in
groups taking notes, while some one
who is familiar with the codes gives
them practice in receiving.
All Of the companies are receiving
instruction in the use OF guns In
this practice a white sheet OF paper
is placed at a short distance and the
rife Is placed in a steady position.
Then the student sights at the paper
and a bull's-eye Is placed where he
thinks that he is sighting and the
place Is marked. without moving the
gun. he cites twice again, and lines
ere drawn connecting the marks.
Theoretically the marks should be in
the same place. but even the best shot
IS rarely able to do that, so they are
graded according TO the size OF the
triangle which is formed. The small
er the triangle the better the marks
man.
