Persons purchasing government
property from soldiers will be pros.
.ecuted to the full extent of the law,
according to a statement issued by
Colonel Osborn at the First Regiment
Camp this morning.
A regimental detail from the loca!
camp made tour of the city yester-
day and found several persons wear.
ing government clothing which they
had purchased from soldiers. These
persons were made Immediately to
take off that part of their garb which
the officers claimed as belonging to
the regiment and were obliged to go
without a shirt or shoes as the CASE
happened to be.
A motorman at the local traction
station was found wearing pair OF
army shoes that had been sold by a
soldier and he was left barefooted. In
another instance a man was caught
on one Of the main streets OF the city
wearing a regulation shirt. He was
Immediately relieved of it and forced
to go home shirtless.
Colonel Osborn stated that the pen.
atty for purchasing government cloth.
ing as very severe one. 1t involves
a fine and three months in jail. He
has issued a warning to citizens that
all cases will be pushed to the fruI
extent OF the law as the practice must
be- stopped.
The band concert which was sche1.
uled to take place at the camp last
evening was postponed until tonight
on account of the weather. An at.
tractive program has been arranged
for the concert and If the weather
permits 1t will be held from $3.50 uutil

expected to attend.
The usual Sunday afternoon pro
gram will be carried out tomorrow il
the weather permits. The band con
cert and dress parade will be held
in the early part of the afternoon an
the guard mount will be held at SIX
o'clock. The public Is invited to at
tend the Sunday afternoon program

Carelessness Seems To Have
Been Cause of Bad
Accident.
SECOND IN FIVE MONTHS
Is Government Plant and
Rigid Investigation Is
Being Made.
tRy Associated Press)

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. S.-Three
workmen are known to have been
killed and % persons badly injureh
in an explosion at Frankfort arsenal
here today.
According to workers the explosion
was accidental, there being nothing
to indicate 1t was caused by an out
side agency. Two of the twenty-three
injured were young men.
Major Montgomery commandant O.
the arsenal and his aids are invest
eating the explosion and decline to
make any statement until they have
completed inquiry. Carelessness of
workman, it was believed was thu
cause of the accident.
The explosion occurred in one Of
three small buildings known as deton-
ating dry rooms where the primer
caps for three and six in shells anG
small arms cartridges are dried The
building in question had its walls
packed with cinders and every precau
ton was taken to prevent accidents.
Fire followed the explosion ano
spread to several other small buildings
known as the artillery assembly unit
In these there were three and six IN
shells but prompt work Of employees
and city firemen saved the building
and contents from destruction.
Nineteen of the injured were treat.
ed at near by hospitals. One is Ca.
pected to die. Later all but five of the
injured were able to go to their homes.
None OF those hurt were able to give
a coherent account of what hap
pened.
New York troops are guarding .he
arsenal and no one was permitted to
enter the Government reservation.
Today's explosion was the second
fatal one to occur within the past i've
months. Two men were killed by the
bursting of shrapnel fuze in the big
explosive building last April.
