"duds" In 22 mulo wagons and 12 motor
trucks and moved to the new camp.
With the closeof tho camp month this
regiment, under Colonel Kemp, achieved a
record that Is considered remarkable. Dur
ing that time not a contagious disease gf
any nature appeared In the ranks, nor will
any appear, to Judge by the almost ml
icroscoplc Inspection carried on by Major
Luburg. 'surgeon. The most appalling de
fect found among the 1000 men Is 76
teeth needing attention.
The 1st Regiment, which will move to
morrow, will have a band after all. De
termined not to depend on prlvato bands,
.which have a habit of staying at homo
when Johnny shoulders his rifle. Colonel
Allen canvassed the regiment and found 28
ien rlgKt In the ranks who can play some
sortof musical Instrument. Under, Drum
Major William B. Chapln, the volunteer
musicians will be molded Into a regimental
band. ' Instruments already have been
requisitioned.

Posltho declarations that vice and gam

the city, regardless of politics or any other
element, were made this afternoon by
Mayor Smith. He said the city was closed
and would remain so, and Issued a warn
ing that no section of the city would be
overlooked. The Mayor also said with
much emphasis that gamblers or vice pro
moters who received any word to the con
trary might as well disregard such tips at
once and get out of town.
Anqther Important development In the
situation was tho nctlon taken by Captain
of Police Nicholas J. Kenny and Policeman
John Blggar, of the 11th and Winter streets
station. v
They threatened to swear out warrants

He said he didn't care what Captain Kenny

Former District Attorney "William A.

NEW ANGLD A SURPRISE.
This new angle on the situation came a
a complete surprise, as the attention of the
public was centered upon the action of the
Grand Jury, which was scheduled to start
Its lnestlgatlon today. The Jurymen do
not expect to reach the vice probe until
tomorrow. '
While the action taken by Captain Kenny
came as a surprise, the final stand of the
Mayor caused no end of comment
'The report that he received every three
months a list of gambling and disorderly
'houses, the Mayor said, was absolutely
false.
EXPLANATION OF RAip.
"The first three months of my adminis
tration," the - Mayor asserted, "were ab
solutely quiet, After that I heard rumors
and received some reports that gambling
houses and other places had opened. While
a lot has ibeen said about the raid of a
week mgo being confined to certain dl
trlcts, that Is easily explained. A social
worker first called my attention to condi
tions In the sectlpn raided. We went after
that section because we were.mora familiar
with conditions there.
"If any one tells gamblers to stay or If
they get wprd that they are safe they win,
be much mistaken. No such word will com
from me, I am Informed the town Is closed
and I Intend to keep It closed."
SMITH READY TO TESTIFY.
Asked If he would aid the Grand Jury In
its Investigation, the Mayor said: -
"If the Grand Jury summons the Mayor
I will lay. before it all the Information X
can obtain. I am not golngto discuss what
action I mean to take In the future, nor da
I mean to Judge the officers under suspen
sion before their hearing " V
