Preparations are belnr made for the move
nicnt of troops and equipment. The freight
earn on the siding at Thirty-second street
nnd Lancaster usfiiue are being loaded ail
rapidly at possible.
The troopx comprising the squadron are
the First City Troop, commanded by Cap
tain G. P. Thayer: Troop A, Captain Arthur
Calahan; Troop D, Captain J. W. Good,
nnd Troop O, Captain Thomas 11. Myers.
The First Pennsylvania Cavalry Is com
manded by Colonel J. It. Wood.
The Twenty-eighth Division, United
States Army, Ii now the olllclal nam of the
former Pennsylvania, National Ouard or
ganizations, according to Major Tyler, of
the brigade headquarters, who received
word from Washington This order will not
change the status of the Pennsylvania
troops to any great extent. The Pennsylva
nia Division will not lose Its Individuality,
because, an It contains every needed tacti
cal unit, tho division will be kept together,
the only change being In tho name.
Atsurances have been received that tho
old personnel of tho former Guard regl
ments will not be disturbed. Major General
Clement will command tho division The
three Infantry brigades will bo commanded
respectively by Brigadier General Freder
ick W Ktlllwell, Brigadier General Albert
J l.og.in and Brigadier General Christopher

division of military affairs, which has exercised-
supervision ocr the National
Guard of the country, tent each of the gen

they would bo retained
That it is easier to guide a horse than
their own feet Is the experience of Penn
sylvania cavalrymen. All National Guard
caalry units are now executing cavalry
drills on foot, and tho skilled riders who
have no trouble executing maneuvers when
mounted llnd their feet in a hopeless tangle.
Things have come to such a pass In the
riiht. neglment. .tuttanefl at Thirty-second
street a,ud Lancaster avenue, that Captain
Arthur Cal.ihan, Troop, A, today took a
hand himself. He called Sergeant Godfrey
Smith to his assistance and proceeded to
untangle the cavalrymen's feet.
Partial success 'attended his efforts, but
the progress, was so slow and ho found such
dlfllculty In" keeping lines straight that he
requisitioned a ball of string This was
used In the drilling of to squads together.
The end men of the line held the btrlng
and each man was required to bo touching It
at all times, This pro.ee! so successful that
It will bo used moro extensively until the
men hae as good control of their feet as
they have of horses.
The men have been handicapped by Inade
quate drill grounds. A plot In the rear of
thq armory Is now used This Is only large
enough to accommodate a few squads at a
time. Hven then the squads are continu
ally Interfering with one another. At times
bodies of tho troops aro taken to Falrmount
Park, but the. hike to a suitable location Is
such a long one that the men are able to
do little 'rilling.
It WaaS reported this morning that Com

However, they were all there today, and

MAGISTRATE LETS OFF
SAILOR WHO CAN BAKE
Navy Yard Officials' Plea Brings
Freedom, Less $5 Fine, to
"Indispensable" Man
The value of bakers and cooks among
"Uncle Sam's" fighting forces was reflected
In Magistrate Booncj'.s court nt Fifteenth
and Locust streets station today.
Frank Dean, a baker at the nay jarri,
had been held under $000 ball for court on
a charge of disorderly conduct and nf hav
ing committed assault and battery on Police,
man Bindley, of the Fifteenth and Locust
streets station Charles 7. Mallett. agent
for the bureau of Investigation of the De
partment of Justice, testllled that the police,
man had no provocation for tho clubbing ho
gac Dean. The police, however, pave testi
mony to show that Dean attacked tho
policeman.
After the pros and cons of the case had
been heard nnd Dean had been held, ofllelals
at the navy yard appealed strongly o
Magistrate Rooney for the release of their
baker. He was absolutely Indispensable,
they explained. He was finally released
after he had paid u fine of $6 and received
a lecfire from the Magistrate.
Policeman Bradley testified that he en
countered Dean last Saturday night at
Thirteenth and Walnut htrccts. Dean, ho
said, wan Intoxicated and was Indulging In
vile and abusive language. Ho said he
remonstrated with the pallor and tried to
have him board a trolley car and retdrn
to the navy yard, Dean, he Bald, struck
him on tM right cheek.
SAILOR GOKS TO HOSPITAL
Then Bradley said he swung his club,
hitting Dean on the head. The blow opened
up an ugly gasTi, which necessitated tho
sailor's removal to St Agnes's Hospital,
where the v ound was patched up
Agent Mallet, of the Department of Jus
tice, testified that liu wltnc-wcd the arrest of
tho sailor and could not seo where thero
had been any provocation for tho policeman
using tho club. He said that If Dean had
hit the policeman a blow Iu the face, as the
latter had testified, thore would havo surely
been left a mark. There was no such mark
on Bradley's face. Mallett also Intimated
that ho belloved that the sailor had been
maltreated after ho was taken to the station
house.
OTHKH MARKS ON PACK
"When I saw Dean at the station house
after his arrest," he said, "he had marks on
hs faco which I did not notice at the time
ho was arrested by Policeman Bradley.
Dean was very abusive In his language, but
I could see no real provocation for clubbing
him."
Four civilians who wltnetsed the arrest of
Dean backed up tho statement of the De
partment of Justice agent that they saw no
Justification for striking tho sailor with a
club. They arc John 11. Johnson, C27 South
Taney street; David .Sullivan, 1626 Vino
street , Thomas Ritchie, SJO Poplar street,
and Frank Bennett, 1227 Walnut street.
In holding Dean for court Magistrate
Roney bald: "If you fail to show respect
for your uniform jou cannot expect that
anybody else will respect It."

of Wills Sheehan nnd Receiver of Taxes
Kendrlck for re-election Is Interpreted In
political circles ns a move for harmony and
tho first step to carry out tho Varo program
of n fifty-fifty split on the "row" nlllces
Whether his program will be acceptable
to the Penrosc-McNIclril faction has not
been mndo known ns yet. Irrespective of
how the row offices nre arranged, there Is
certain to be a bitter fight over the election
of tho Counclltneii.
The Mayor, In the course of his Indorse
ment of Sheehan, nsserted that the Regis
ter was Juntlficd In pocketing the huge fees
of his ofilcc and added that any other man
would do the ra'ne thing.
The Mayor did nit go Into the candidacy
of Samuel P. Rotan for re-election as Dis
trict Attorney. It Is known, however, thnt
tho Mayor favors tho return of Mr. Rotan,
a friend of Senator Penrose, nlmg with
Kendrlck nnd Sheehan. He believes that

WAR BRINGS SHORTAGE
OF WOMEN LABORERS
Demand for Female Workers to
Take Places of Men Results
in Serious Condition
A serious shortnge of woman 'abor has
been created In Philadelphia ny tho heavy
demand for women nnd girls to take tho
places of men who have enlisted or who nre
subject to draft.
When the war broke out there was an
oversupply. Women have taken tho places
of men since the start of the war, however,
to such nn extent that they can now com
mand the samo wages for their work that
the men received, according to Mrs. Thomas
Robins, chairman of the Philadelphia sec
tion, bureau of registration and Informa
tion, which Is connected with the Pennsyl
vania section of tho Woman's Division for
National Preparedness.
"Tho shortage has become so acute In
some lines that we have made efforts to get
workers from other Slates." said Mrs Roll.
Ins "Recently 1 telegraphed to Washing
ton to see If I could get some -silk wink
ers. The reply stated that the New Jersey
silk mills nre shorthanded nnd havo been
trying to get workers In this State.
"Wo have called the attention of tho
school mobilization committee to the condl.
tlons, nnd a trades school for girls and
women has been started at 205 North Ninth
street. It Is my opinion that tho public
schools should take up this question of pro
viding girls with training for gainful occupations."
