Madison Barracks Men
HaUe Hot Days Work

Madison Barracks. y. y, May 31.--
For the first time since tho opening of
the officers training camp here the men
to-day had an opportunity to protest
against the heat. The warm sunshine
almost the first since the men have
been in camp-beat down on the parade
ground in a way that brought sweat
to thu brow OF every man as he went
through drills on the double quick.
Upon entering the reservation to-day
civilians were handed a notice which
is known as general orders No. Il. It
explains that all due respect must be
paid the flag by every one on the camp
grounds and that all must stand still
and uncover when "The Star-Spancled
Banner" is being played. Those who
do not comply with the rule will be
escorted off the grounds by the military
police.
Non-commissioned members of the
National Guard designated by the regi-
mental commanders for training at the
camp arrived on every train to-day. Be-
cause of their military training these
men will lose nothing by their late en-
trance at the camp.

Man in Ruth Cruger
Case Found in Italy
Alfredo Cocchi Says He Ran
Away to Escape Wife's
Temper

Alfredo Cocchi, the motorcycle ma
chinist who disappeared from his shop,
Manhattan and West l27th Streets,
after he had been griled by the police
in connection with the disappearance
OF Ruth Cruger, eighteen years old. on
February l3 last, has been found in
Bologna, Italy. where he has been liv-
ing with his father and brother. The
Cruger girl was last heard of in
Cocchi's shop, where she called for her
skates that had been snarpened.
District Attorney Swami, whose ef-
forts TO find the Cruger girl led his
search for Cocchi into Italy. was noti-
fed Of the machinist's whereabouts
yesterday by S. S. Dumont. United
States Consul in Florence. The latter
reported that Cocchi says he deserted
his wife and baby in New York be-
cause Of his wifcs temper.
In the absence OF a favorable cxtradi-
tion treaty between this country and
Italy it IS doubtful whether extradi-
ton will be possible.

Carlyle Blackwell, hero OF hundred
films, has been sued for separation by
his wife, Ruth II. Blackwell. In her
suit Mrs. Blackwell alleges that her
husband has earned the title of "The
Romeo of the Movies" and has in ad-
dition treated her cruelty.
In his reply, filed yesterday, the
screen actor denies both charges. He
attributes much of the domestic trouble
which has beset him and his wife TO
her NOISY conduct" He says that he
was forced to move five times in Los
Angeles because of his spouse's tnun-
derous mannersms about the house.
The last place that they lived to-
gether, he alleges, was outside the city
on a mountain top, with no human hab-
itaiion within half a mile, so that
reighbors might not be annoyed by Mrs.
Blackwell IN one Of her noisy moods.
According TO the movie hero his wife
was also exceedingly jealous. At the

u. S. May Relax
Marine Law to Get
Captains and Mates
Proposed Merchant Fleet to
Create Demand for Mer-
chant Officers
From The Tribune Burcaul

Washington, May 31.-To meet the
tremendous demand for captains,
mates and engineers for the big fleet
of ships to be purchased and construct
ed by the Shipping Board, the Steam
boat Inspection Service is planning
relaxation in ( restrictions of the
present navigation laws. The vital
need for men competent to navigate
ships to carry supplies to the Allies is
realized by Germany, as shown by the
fact that recently the German sub
marines have held as prisoners COM
manders OF many vessels instead OF
permitting them to escape with the re-
mainder OF the crew.
There will be meeting Monday,
June 5. of an executive committee OF
the Steamboat Inspection Service TO
consider methods OF obtaining the sup
ply of officers needed.
The regulations regarding the quail
fcations for officers in the American
merchant marine are probably more
stringent than those of any other
country. The committee will consider
in what way they may be modified.
Many oilers. water tenders and fire.
men are seeking advancement, and
large number hope to obtain marine
engineers licenses. 1t will be consid-
cred whether the length of experience
now required OF these men cannot be
shortened so as to permit their early
promotion.
Many men holding masters licenses
are occupying subordinate positions,
and others are equipped by traip ping for
masters positions or other pssts. II
is proposed TO utilize all these.
II is cited as a precedent that the
Military Academy at West Point and
the Naval Academy at Annapolis have
graduated their classes several months
ahead of time, and probably will con-
tinue to do so.
The Secretary of Commerce said:
at is for US to make available the
undoubtedly large number of men who
can operate ships. As the ships are
made ready, we must have the men to
handle them.
What notifications will be made in
the requirements in the various classes
it is impossible to state in advance.
The general idea will be to make every
seafaring man who has practical knowl-
edge available along the line in which
he is best qualified"
