LINERS GUN CREW
ROBBED OF PISTOLS

NEW YORK. Nov. 3O.-A story OF
a plot to disarm the naval officers
and sailors composing the gun crew
Of the liner st. Paul was related be
fore United States Commissioner Sam
ueI NJ. Hitchcock.
Appearing with Edwin NJ Stanton
assistant United States attorney
Lieut.. L. s. Stewart, in command OF
the gun crew OF the vessel, preferred
a complaint against Thomas Riley, q
messman, whom he charged with
having purloined and secreted eleven
AS caliber Colts automatic pistols
while in Liverpool on November 13.
Ten OF the pistols were found hidden
in the ship, but the eleventh Is miss
ing.
That any one planned to steal all
OF their guns the officers think hard
ly likely, as the thief would find II hard
to dispose OF these regulation
weapons. 1t was pointed out that
had trouble arisen Unexpectedly on
the ship these officers would have
been unable to preserve order, and
1t Is thought that very serious pur-
pose may have lurked behind the pur-
Joining Of the weapons.

Investigations Of health conditions

Quoted by the War Department today
following a report by Surgeon Gen
eral Gorgas on the measles and pneu
monia epidemics at Camp Wheeler.
Macon Ga
General Gorgas found 800 cases Of
pneumonia at Camp Wheeler and re-
ported that there had been 5000 cases
of measles. Pneumonia caused sixty
deaths in the camp in the last month
An increasing number of deaths is ex
pected.
Exposing soldiers to cold weather
in summer clothing and overcrowding
OF tents were two contributing causes
of the pneumonia epidemic, General
Gorgas reported.
He urged that additional floor space
be given each man, and that an OBJ
servation camp be established. The
War Department shipped 1000 addi-
tionaI tents to Camp Wheeler at once,
which will reduce the number OF men
to tent from nine to five. Orders
were given that new soldiers sent to
camp be segregated, so that men ex-
posed to epidemic conditions may be
isolated for observation and treat
ment.
Secretary Baker, after receiving the
report, said that the last shipments
of winter clothing sent to Camp
Wheeler had been delayed by rail
road congestion, but should be there
by this time.

whose tracks extend from Brandy

The petition for the surrender OF

company to build in each year and
miles of uncompleted road until
the road shall have been con-
