OHBVT CIIA9B. Md., May 6. Just
how much In earnest, and Just how serlou
the girls at the Woman's Military Camp
here are. was demonstrated today, when
wlthost nlnchlnff, scores of the girls bared
their white arms and submitted to typhoid
vacclnalton. And soma of the pretty de
butantes refused to be vaccinated on tho
arm.
The camp authorities suggested that
typhoid vaccination was the proper thine
to take so the girls obeyed. Most of
them had caught tho spirit of the camp
before they left their respective homes In
IE States throughout the nation, and had
twice taken the vaccination. This vas
the last one today. The vaccination doses
are given three weeks apart In three
Injections.
A surgeon from the .United States army
Bpve the last serum treatment to tho
young society girls today. They never
murmured. They are good soldiers and
glory In any act they can do which
actually means anything and thoy feel
that a typhoid vaccination does mean
omethlng.
FOltEIQN COUNTRIES INTERESTED.
Several foreign countries havo already
tent cablegrams to John Barrett, director
general of .the Pan-American Union, ask
ing for Information about how to start
similar camps in their countries. Among
the places asking for particulars are
Panama; Illo de Janeiro, Brazil ; Santiago,
Chill i Buenos Aires : Lima, Peru : Havana,
Cuba, and Montevideo, Uruguay.
"The South American nations iook to
the United States. They always have,"
Bald Mr. Barrett, In discussing the cable
grams. "When they fought clear of tho
European countries and became republics,
they looked to our Declaration of Inde
pendence. When they wrote their Consti
tutions they modeled them on tho Consti
tution of the United States. When tho
generals of tho South American coun
tries were fighting for freedom thoy did
not Inolc to a Julius Caesar or Hannibal
for a model. They looked to tho United
States to a George Washington.
"Now tho time has como when the
women of tho United States have taken a
new part In preparedness and patriotism,"
he added, "and tho women of our sister
republics look to the women of tho United
States and their military, camp for In
spiration. I will Bend blue prints of tho
camp and all the Information I can get
to the South American countries as soon
as possible."
j Mr. Barrett says that the 21 republics
of the Western Hemisphere aro entering a
. new era an era which he calls Pan-Amer-tcanlsm,
and he enys tho republics of
South America must co-operate with the
United States If the Monroe, Doctrine Is to
continue. He says the Monroe Doctrine
Is as Important to Argentina as to the
United States. He declared the European
war has made people realize tho Im
portance of Pan-Americanism.
MEN VISITORS CHASED BY POLICE.
The camp's first nocturnaj excitement
came last night, when a crowd of "horrid
boys" came out from Washington In au
i to mobiles and turned their searchlights on
, the tents, about 11 o'clock. " Tho com
mandant of the camp appealed to the po
lice, who "chased" the Intruders nway.
There was no excitement, and no scream
ing. The young "rookies" kept their heads
under the covers, and never uttered a.
"chirp." The Identity of the automoblllsts
is sot known.
i Three girls, who took an unauthorized
trip to town and were late for Bupper, aro
doing guard duty for three days as pun
ishment. ' The girls got even with the pink-cheeked
little bugler Thursday afternoon, for wak
ing them in the -wee small hours with hla
, Mugle, by using him as p. "wounded sol
flier" in their first aid course. The youth,
, Is David Kemp, 17 years old, son of Mrs.
James Kemp. 7143 Forrest Way, Pitts
burgh. He is a drummer in the Marine
Corps and has been assigned to blow the
bugle for the "feminine" rookjes."
In the first old class David truly re
sembled an Egyptian mummy. He was ,
wound and rewound with bandages. He
was supposed to-have a broken leg and he
admitted himself it waa a wonder he did
I not have a "really truly broken leg and
, smashed up anatomy," when those girls
! got through with him. They lifted him
i from the ground to an operating table.
J They used splints, and bandages In ap
proved style, and received much praise
from their Instructor, Dr. P. Edward Lar
ktn. for the way they handled their
patient.
One at the olng to bed" features of
the Chevy Chase camp life Is the singing
of State and college songs. Each night
the girls gather by States and sing.
A Philadelphia woman, Mrs. Charles
Belknap, 1700 Pine street, was officer of
the day Thursday, She made an efficient
and courteous one, and was as strict In
her duty as any real officer In the army
could possibly be. While she was on
duty, many important officials from
Washington came out to Inspect the camp.
Among them were the Russian Ambassa
dor and hla wife and the English Ambas
sador, Cecil Sprlng-RIce.
Then, too, illss Jane Delano, chairman
of the National Red Cross Nursing Service,

Kraft Mystery
PKIVATE FUNERAL TODAY
,A man who was under police sur
veillance at the time of the Albert Kraft
.murder is under suspicion of having a
guilty knowledge or tno ueatn or ition
ard Meeklns. Lieutenant MftrP'! of the
66th street and Woodland avenue police
station, today declared that he Is con
vinced the little fellow, whose body -Was
found on Wednesday after five months'
absence from homo, died at the hands of
a brutnl slayer. If the autopsy made
yesterday by Coroner's Physlclnh Wads
worth discloses evidence of f.ul play upon
the little body. Lieutenant Mafple de
clares he and hla men wilt "go the. limit"
to locate and arrest the man they held
under suspicion.
Sight of the casket containing the body
of her tong-nbsont boy proved too much
for the overwrought nerves of Mrs. Annie
Meeklns. As the undertaker's men were
bearing their little burden Into the house
this morning Mrs. Meeklns was descending
tho stairs to the first door. Relatives,
fearful of the shock to the mothir If she
encountered the smalt white covered box,
endeavored to lead her into a back room,
but -were too late. Mrs. Meeklns saw the
undertaker's men and fulntod. When she
was revived her condition was so serious
that It was feared sho would be unable to
attend the tervloes later In tho day.
Luke Meeklns, the boy',1 father, nko
saw the black wagon drawn up nt his
door. Ha was returning homo f.-om an
errand In the neighborhood and arrived
at tho step Just as hla wife swooned. He,
too, was much affected and was -vehement
In his denunciation of tho unknown man
whom he holds guilty of his son's murder.
"I would give up anything In tho world,
oven llfo Itself, If I could get tho man
who did this," ho exclaimed as ho polntod
to tho little c-iBkot. "It wouldn't bo neces
sary for tho law to act In tho matter If 1
laid hands on the man Who killed my boy."
Among tho six pallbearers for little
Richard arc threo boys vt ho were his play
mates on November 29, tho day ho dis
appeared They aro Pierco Terry, Walter
Ray and John Roberts. James nnd Rob
ert Pitts and Edmund Gallagher com
plete the list of pallbearers AU but Gal
lagher attend tho Morton School. The fac
ulty of the school sent to the Meeklns
homo a large basket of flowers as Its
tribute
John Roberts this afternoon added a bit
of Information tending to Bhow the course
taken by llttlq Richard when ho left home
for the laat time.
"We were playing on tho sandplle nt 63d
street and Elmwood avonue," said John,
"when a wagon came along. Two colored
men were on the sent. Richard hung on
behind, but got oft when It crossed 03d
street. I called to him to come back, but
ho walked after the wagon. It turned south
on 64th street and tho last. I saw of him
ho was tramping behind it."
The direction taken by tho wagon lends
to tho open country and swamps similar
to that in which the child's body was
found last Wednesday.
It has been decided that the funeral of
Richard bo conducted with nil possible
simplicity and that the morbidly curious
he barred from the, Meeklns home, 2249
South 61st street, during the services late
today An oxceptlon will bo made In tho
case of Richard's fonnor schoolmates at
the Thomas G Morton Publlo School, 63d
street and Elmwood avonue.
Following the afternoon session today
Richard's former classmates will proceed
to tho house. They will not bo al)le to
vlow tho features of their dead playmate,
as the casket will not be opened. The
service will be conducted by the Rev. W.
H Helntz, pastor of the Prltchard Me
morial Lutheran Church, 6Sd street and
Elmwood avenue, whoso Sunday school
the Meeklns children attended. After the
service nt the houso the Immediate rela
tives only will attend the interment In
Mount Morlah Cemetory.
POLICE ON' THE ALERT.
Watch will be kept by the police about
tho vicinity during the boy's funeral.
Morbid fascination may cause the mur
derer to linger about the body of his vic
tim, they reason, and all suspicious per
sons who may be seen in the neighbor
hood of the Meeklns home will be sub
jected to close scrutiny.
Down at City Hall the detectives work
ing on the case are uneasy under the crit
icism of their efforts to belittle the latest
developments In the mystery.
Discovery that the handkerchief, fou(id
knotted around the child's neck, bore the
Initial "M" has compelled them to admit
the value of the letter-writer's hint that
his "mark" would be about the body when
located. Until today, the detectives and
district police had been at variance In their
view of Richard's death and Its cause.
The City Hall men held strongly to the
theory of accidental drowning, while the
bluecoats familiar with the topography of
the Self farm, were equally firm for mur
der and subsequent burial of the body.
Today, the plaln-clothea men are willing to
cencede many elements of crime are sug
gested by the Investigation.
REPORT MADE ON AUTOPSY.
Dr. William S. Wadsworth, Coroner's
physician, today submitted Jo Coroner
Knight the result of his autopsy on the
boy's body, Neither official would dis

DETECTIVE RESENTS CRITICISE.
James Tate, Captain of Detectives, wbb
out of the city today. Lieutenant Thoo
doro Wood Was In charge of tho bureau,
He resented criticism aimed at the de
tectives' conduct of the Investigation when
Richard's disappearance Waa reported to
them. "This case linn been followed care
fully from the very beginning," said Wood.
"No point waa overlooked and tho number
of alues w ran out, and the mass of In
formation sifted nnd investigated would
astonish the publlo If we chose to let It
be known. George Timlin and Edward
Lynch were assigned to the case, and they
worked faithfully. Lynch was off duty for
several days in consequence of a cold ho
contracted Jn the very swamp where the
body was found on Wednesday.
"Our Investigation will contlnuo, even
though the case tAday looks as baffling
ar when It was first renorted to us. I
said a moment ago that Timlin and Ed
ward Lynch weie working on It, but
evtry mnn in ths Bureau Is assisting In
tlu search for tho murflorr. We bslieve
now lhal It looks like murder, and If tho
postmortem proves that crime was com
mitted, the publlo wilt have no reason
to criticise our search for the gu'tty roan."

We do not ask our purchasers td buy a
HOPE that their player will turn out all

The superior craftmanship of the Lester
, Player-Piano is supplemented by many
' exclusive improvements which have been
developed by our own experts. ,These
are not found in any other placer.
This is the reason why Lester Player
Pianos are easier to pedal, easier to accent,
have a more mellow tone, a wider range of
expression and a striking individuality
which all imitators have failed to equal.
And yet, with all its admitted superior
ity, it is as easy to own a Lester as one
of the'inferior makes because it is sold,
direct, eliminating all "in - between"
profits of jobber and agent. Just send
us your address today.on the coupon be
low and We will show you how conve
niently you can have a Lester.
