Mobilization of the Seventh Division.

Pershing. Twelve thousand seven hundred
Pennsylvania troops are now under canvas
on a solid two-mllo front here, the concen

ment of artillery and auxiliary corps.
Brigadier General Price's Philadelphia
troops are facing General Charles M. Clem

Third Regiments completed tho movement

The Pennsylvania concentration camp is
about four miles from lort Bliss, and per

THE WEATHER
Plans to have a Philadelphia sane and
sanitary are 'under way.
Such a, condition Is welcome, especially
at this time of year, when cleanliness Is con.
duclve to coolness. In rubbing out the black
spots (t would be well to use the very best
materials, so thaj the dirt, instead of merely
fading slightly to return again, will be
eliminated for good.
Elbow- grease is also essential. The house
keeper who merely skims over the surface
never does a good Job. She is kept scrub
bing all the time. Incidentally her guests
and members of the family are liable to
notice that the place is iuH as clean as it
looks. Perhaps If the town were clean
and the air clarified It would chase away
this humidity pest that defles the police
and sticks around In spite of the highest
authorities.

Tho important village of Pozicrcs, situated at tho junction of tho Albort

British wrested the village from tho Germans after three days of terrific fight

was admitted by tho Berlin War Ofifce.
The capture of Poziercs endangers the German forces in the salient between
rh'iepval and Pozieres. Tho British have already launched a westward encir
cling movement, menacing their opponents in this loop of the line. A complete
abandonment of this curve y-the Germans is expected. A similar retirement
is probable east of Thicpval in view of strong British assaults now under way
in that direction.
A lull marks tho line in tho section of the Sommo held by the French. No

CAMDEN JAIL-BIRD,
THOMPSON, CAUGHT
NEAR PITTSBURGH
Companion of Wilson Ash
bridge in Break for Lib
erty Recaptured
FACES MURDER CHARGE
Georgo B. Thompson, Camden Jall-brcnk-crr'
who- -with Wilson Ashbrldgo'-'-ehot' his
way to liberty, was captured today In
Washington County, 20 miles north of Pitts
burgh. Ills arrest makes complete tho re
covery of those who escnped from, the Cam
den Jail on July 17. His companion, Ash
bridge, was captured tho following day in
Chester.
Thompson probably will bo brought to
Camden at once, unless he Insists on ex
tradition pap'ers. However, it Is thought
ho will follow In the footsteps of his pal,
who went meekly enough after his arrest
In Chester.
Prosecutor Kraft already has said that
Thompson when caught would bo charged
with tho murder of Turnkey Isaac Hlbbs
and with Intent to kill Keeper Ellis, who is
slowly recovering In Coorer Hospital.
Ashbridgo has confessed that he did the
shooting with a pistol his wife procured for
him, but the Xew Jersey authorities
recognize Thompson as the brains behind
tho Jail delivery, and will hold him equally
responsible,
THOUGHT HIM CLEVERER.
The capture of Thompson is a relief to
the Camden police, who hove never let
up in their pursuit of the man; but at the
same time It Is rather a disappointment to
their estimate of him. They had thought,
him cloe:er He was In Jail for forgery,
and once he was out pfjt they expected him
to leau them a merry chase?
When Thompson and Ashbrldge escaped,
the nlghi of "June 17, they came leisurely to
Philadelphia, went to the West Phlladel
phth station to meer Mrs. Ashbrldge, failed
to find her, went thence to Broad Street Sta
tion and there she was. Thompson bade
them good-bj, announced New York as his
destination and dlsappeated.
The police always regarded that as a
bluff to throw Ashbrldge off the track, for
they gauged Thompson well enough to
figure that he knew Ashbridgo was too
clumsy to keep out of the police tolls long.
NOTE A BLUFF.
Taking Thompson alive is proof now that
the note found In his cell was a bluff, pure
and simple. In that note he said that it
located he probably would be taken a dead
mar. and he asked that his body be turned
over to the University of Pennsylvania,
saving only enqugh skin to make a binding
for a small New Testament he wanted his
wlfe a woman- of the Buddhist faith, to
get. '
The police, who knew Thompson was as
sane and clever a man as they had ever
handled did not credit the note.
Sim.eAshbridge was taken back to Jail
anil his wife held to answer to the Grand
Jury for helping him escape, not a word has
been printed of Thompson.
Not since his escape were there the
usual reports of finding him, such as Is so
characteristic when criminals escape.
Only this afternoon when Chief of Detec
tives William Schregler satlsfled himself
that he finally had hi man, did he allow
the news to be given out.
Thompson was using his own name when
captured. He had a spring of handy aliases,
his favorite being Frank Murphy. HI apt
pearance wa ordinary, too. The Camden
police have nqt-yet given out the detail ot
hi capture and arrest.
The time of the shooting occurred Just
after the prisoners had been locked In their
cell for the night Hlbbs, the turnkey,
was standing outside In the corridor when
Ashbrldge called him. Hlbbs, an old man,
was known affectionately among the prig
oners as "Dad."
"Oh Dad, come here a minute; I want
to talk to you," he said.
Hlbbs went, thinking he was going to get
a package Ashbrldge held In his hand. A
he nearrd, the package wa uncovered,
and It la said AshbrltUe shot him. The
slayer tben took the dead turnkey key,
opened the door and, with Thpmjson, locked
the door again and went out.

"90 PER CENT GAINED
TOLERATION OF OOPS"
Conditions .Responsible for
Such Types of Slayers as
' "Doggie" Miller
ROTAN GOES TO MAYOR
D. CLARENCE GIBBONEY
Head of the Law and Order So
ciety, star witness today before the
Grand Jury in its investigation of.
vice conditions.
Policemen and politicians protected vice
in this city.
This .declaration was 'rondo bj D. Clar
ence Qlbbonoy, head of tho Law and ,6rdex
Society, when ho appeared before th
Grand Jury today and gavo a detailed 'ac
count ot the vice conditions prior to the
big raid "of Saturday, July IS.
lie also asserted that toleration of vicious
resorts and gambling places was the sdme
as protection nnd contended that the condi
tions were responsible for such types ad
"Doggie" Miller, who was electrocuted Jaat
week for the murder of two policemen.
To show tho effect of such conditions,
Giliboney said that the son of a prominent
Philadelphia family married the propri
etress of a resort against the protest of hi
relatives and friends.
The Law and Order president said It waa
absurd to think that tho proprietors of dis
orderly houses or gambling resorts would
go to the expense of fitting up their estab
lishments without being assured In advono
of prptectlon.
TWO DEVELOPMENTS.
The declarations made by Glbboney an!
the hearing of J. S. Knight, Jr., and Sam
uel A. Dougherty, of the Transcript, charged
with criminal libel by suspended police Cap
tain Nicholas J, Kenny, wero the two big
developments of today. Neither Knight nor
Dougherty appeared and detectives were
sent to search for them.
Glbboney followed District Attorney Ro
tan on the stand before the Grand Jury,
The latter, after outlining the plan of pro
cedure To the jurymen, went Immediately
to a meeting ot the Mayor's cabinet It Is
generally believed that he laid the question
of the vice situation before them. Mr.
rtotan declined to explain the object of his
visit to the cabinet.
The Grand Jury quizzed several person
who are familiar with the vice conditions,
including Miss Mary Gillette, secretary ot
the Travelers' Aid Society, but directed th
questions chiefly to Glbboney, who was oa
the stand for more than an hour,
NAMES GIVEN TO JURORS.
Asked on leaving the room what he had
told the Grand Jury, Glbboney said:
"I gave the Grand Jury the most compre
hensive tew of the entire vice situation la
the city that has ever been laid befor
It. When I left the witness stand I waa
firmly convinced that the. Jury which la
conducting this probe la composed of men
who wilt go to the very bottom, of t TW
will not be a two-day affair. I base my
opinion on the questions which were asked
me by the jurors. I took up eery form ot
lce prevalent In the city before the raid.
I touched upon gambling conditions, speak
easies, disorderly houses, bookmakers for
horse racing and all the disreputable re
sorts. "I furnished the jury with name an4
specific Instances. The names of the pro
prietor and locations of score of houses
are a matter of record. A list 1 noir being
prepared for the Grand Jury."
Asked If police and political proUctlo
of these resorts was a fact and if he toucb4
upon them in his remarks, Glbboney re
plied; TOLERATION AND PROTECTION.
"I told them that the person who operate
the various dlvs are assured of some kbut
ot protection from soma one or they wouM
not open their places for two vceka ot
