TO THAI.V AT CAMP MEADH
The men commlrsloned In tho Quarter
master's Corps will also go to Camp Meade.
However, It has been learned that their stay
will be a short one. After a training of
less than a month at thin camp they will
be sent to Franco for service with tho
American troopa
A number of the student officers who
Were offered commissions In the Quarter
master's Corps refused them for lower line
commissions as they wero anxious to nee
active service. These men have exprebsed
great disappointment on learning that the
Quartermaster's Corps will be tho first to
leave this country.
Today was devoted to tho obtaining of
uniforms and equipment by the new of
ficers. All stores telling military goods
Were benelged. Uniform makers are so
busy that many of them cannot take more
orders. Consequently the men have experi
enced difficulty In getting the roquircd
equipment
The Schuylkill Arsenal was today one of
the most popular centers of attraction for
these men. Tills morning from 9 to 12 and
this afternoon from 1 to 3:30 the sales de
partment was crowded with Fort Niagara
men. Many of tho articles usually fur
nished by this arsenal are either exhausted
or requisitioned for Government use. liHBlns,
hoes, mattresses, bed rolls and clothing
tolls are no longer obtainable at tho
arsenal. Also all ollvo drab flaunt shirts
are exhausted. It will be two or three
months before they will be ablo to furnish
Ome of these articles to tha men. nrcnrrili.i-

and 1h alleged to havo forctrl several citi
zens to cast their lots In with the Vares.
"These men consistently refused to have
anything to do with Dcutsch," Carey said,
"and, becauso of their loynlty to me, were
transferred. These are tho last of about
fifteen policemen who have been transfer
red during the ln9t week."
Director of Public Safety Wilson scouted
the Idea of politics and refused to com
ment on the allegations that fifteen men
had been transferred.
"Carey's charges are nonsensical," ho
said. "Thero has been no politics In the
police department since I was Inducted
Into office. Ah to tho transfers, that Is
pollco business nnd not to be discussed In
the newspapers."
Superintendent of Police Robinson nnd
Lieutenant Bonnet both declined to talk.
"It's all rot," was the comment of Mayor
Smith, when Interviewed at Atlantic City
this nfternoon. "This kind of charges comes
every year before a political campaign.

DRUGGIST HELD UNDER
NEW ANTI-DOPE ACT
The police are puzzled over the motive
for the suicide of Robert Oeddes, seventy
years old, of Norfolk, Va who came here
several days ago In his big powerboat for
the stated purpose of transacting business
with the Traylor Shipbuilding Company at
Cornwells. Whether tho outcome of the
business deal was unsatisfactory has not
been learned by the police, nnd they are
tinablo to say whether or not It had any
connection with his suicide last night.
derides drank poison in a boathouse at
Bocklus street and the Delaware River. He
died soon after thn police of the Richmond
Btntlon took him to tho Frankford Hospital.
According to Homy Kllhnn, who owns
the boathouo where Ocddes ended his life,
tho man was apparently In excellent spirits
a few moments beforo he wan found uncon
scIoub. At the hospital It was said today
that 111 health might havo been the mot:ve,
but the pollco aro Inclined to believe somo
other eauso than sickness prompted him to
take the poison.
Olllclals of the Traylor Shipbuilding
Company said this afternoon that their
knowledge of Ocddes was limited. Tn his
younger days he was a ea t'jptaln, com
manding sailing vesrels. Ills last ship W'as
wrecked, and thnt fact, combined with tho
passing of wlnd-drlvcn vessels, made It Im
possible for him to got another command.
Jlo came to tho Traylor Company last
week with excellent letters of reference,
nnd applied for a position where his knoi
edgo of sailors' craft could be applied In
the shipbuilding program of that concern.
Tho only position that was open was
that of sailor man, as It Is termed in tho
mi lance of shipbuilding, the duties of
which were to splice ropes In tho manner
peculiar to seafarers Tills position wan
offered him, and he raid he would accept It
Then he disappeared, leaving at the ship
artl his llfty-foot power boat whicli he
owned and on whlc'li he had come from Nor
folk. Yesterday officials of the company Insti
tuted a search for him, and ho wan located
In Ilrldcsburg. He said then ho was not
feeling well, but would report for work
when ho felt better. That was a few hours
hefuro ho drank tho poison In the boat
house. Officials of tho shipbuilding company are
holding the power boat until tho police
can locate datives to whom they can con
vey It. So valuation has been placed on
It, but It Is u stanch craft, capablo of
cruising at tea, and Is considered to be
worth at least JB.000.
(Jeddes has como to Philadelphia In his
cruiser nnnuntly for several seasons. Ho
was known about the river front In Rich
mond, where ho always made his head
quarters, as "Captnin Robblns." That was
tho way the pollco reported his suicide,
but tha phyRlclntiH at the Krankfotd Hos

who, It was stated by his friends, might
be persunded to take the City Treasurershlp
