The recruit went to his quarters and half

That night just after "tattoo.” the first ser
geant appeared and told the recruit that the
company commander wanted to see him at
once in the orderly room. The recruit went
to the presence of the commissioned officer
and stood attention as he had stood attention
as a cadet a thousand times before. The cap
tain looked him up and down. "I understand.”
he said, "that this is your first enlistment;
that you have never been a national guard;
that you hare never been a marine and that
you never attended a private military school.”
The recruit acquiesced with a respectful
"Yes. sir.”
"About face.”
The recruit made an about face, and then
at a repetition of the command, again faced
the captain, who was grinning.
"Go to your quarters,” said the command
ing officer.
The recruit went and in ten minutes the
top sergeant was there, saying: "You can't
fool the old man. You've been made a lance
corporal and you go on guard as corporal of
the third relief tomorrow morning."
There are a good many officers in the
United States army today who served for a
at the military academy as
cadets, bat who were cetnpii^d'to
stay five years at the academy in
order to get their commissions. hav
ing been "turned back" Into the
class next below them either for
deficiency ia studies or for breaches
of discip.ine. U General Sheridan
had not been given another chance
after he had engaged in a little
affair which was considered a
breach of discipline while he was
a cadet the wonder is who would
have been the right-hand cavalry
leader of Grant during the Civil
war.
A few merits ago Gem Hamilton tv Haw
kins died. He entered the military academy
some time prior to the opening of the Civil
war. bat the authorities did not allow him to
graduate. Hawkins was not discouraged by
the failure and as soon as the Civil war broke
out he offered his services to his country and
was given a commission. He staid in the reg
ular army until the time cf his death and so
strong was his love of the military academy
that before his death he asked that he might
be buried in the cadet cemetery. It was Haw
kins' custom each year when he could get
away from his command to visit the school
where be had spent three years of his boy
hood. He had just ss strong a love for the
Institution as did any graduate la the army.
Recently there has been a disposition on
the part of the graduates of the military acad
emy to give more consideration to the men
who spent some time at the school, but who
did not graduate. One class organ ration In
cludes in its membership all the cadets who at
any time were members of the class, and no
distinction is made between graduate and non
graduate. even the offices of the organization
being open to men who did not complete the
course.
Other class organizations are said to be
preparing to follow the example of that of the
members of 1SS4 and if the custom of taking
into full brotherhood the non-graduates be
comes gtneral the belief Is that good will
come to the academy and the country.
Statue of Liberty Grafters
If the visitors who paid good money to a
soldier for the privilege of climbing up the
steps of the statue of Liberty had only known
about the sixty-second article of war they
never would have graduated from the dead
head class on a reservation belonging to Uncle
Sara, the New York Herald says. As it is.
under the last general order from the war de
partment two soldiers who levied tribute are
doomed to penal servitude for their specula
tive enterprise.
According to the army orders. Axel T.
Holm, a first-class private of G company, sig
nal corps, ar.d Edward A. Bagnall. of the
same grade and command, organised a syndi
cate for the exploitation of the French evi
dence of friendship for America, which, fol
lowing the actual language of the order, oper
ated. as to Holm, after this fashion:
“He. the said lioim. did designedly and
fraudulently obtain money from certain vis
itors to the statue of liberty, fees for the privi
lege of going up into said statue, by know
ingly making false pretenses that such fees
were necessary.”
And as to the enterprising Bagnall:
“That he did knowingly assist in fraudu
lently obtaining money irom visitors to the
statue of Liberty by acting as a "lookout' with
the duty of actually giving warning to the
man collecting the fees in case an officer were
approaching."
All of this, according to the charges and
specifications upon which conviction was made,
and approval then passed, violated the sixtv
seiond article of war. In the case o.' Holm the
department orders his dishonorable discharge
and his confinement for two years at Fort
Leavenwortk. Ragnall gets off with redaction
to the grade of private, four months' confine
ment and the forfeiture of $13 a month. He
will work his sentence out around the base of
the statue, cleaning up such Utter as the trib
uttless visitors see fit to make.
The evidence showed that the two men ar
ranged a scheme to tax ail visitors ten cents
a head for the pleasure ot climbing to the head
of the goddess, with the ever-burning torch,
and the story was printed exclusively in the Her
aki at the time. While one of them took in
the toll the other lingered about to give the
collector a tip If an ofiicer chanced to be bear
ing down upon the post exchange. Capt. i>. J
Carr, commanding the post, is very proud of
this pretty shew station, and he broke up the
game just as soon as he found what was in
the air.

Harvey Crippen and Ethel Clara Le
Xeve, his stenographer who fled from
London after the disappearance of
Belle Elmore, the doctor's wife, were
arrested here Sunday aboard the
Canadian Pacific liner Montrose, at
the command of Inspector Dew of
Scotland Yard.
The identification of the long
sought fugitives on board the tog
shrouded steamer by the English de
tective. who had raced across the At
lantic ahead of the Montrose, marked
the culmination of one of the most
sensational flights in recent criminal
annals. Accompanied by two Cana
dian officers he boarded the vessel at
>:hu o'clock in the morning, and fif
teen minutes later both man and girl
were locked in their state rooms,
Crippen. broken in spirit, but mental
ly relieved by the relaxed tension;
the girl, garbed in boy's clothes, sob
bing hysterically.
They were no longer the *'Rev.
John Robinson and son,” as booked
at Antwerp. July hO. After a brief de
lay the Jlontrcse continued her lee
mile journey up the river towards
Quebec, where jail awaited the pair.
Crippen is charged with the murder
of an unknown woman, believed to
have been his actress wife. The girl
is held as an accessory. In charge of
inspector Dew. they will be taken
hack to England for trial on Royal

bore the man and the »‘U’.~.n he
sought. The man had lied to him ir
oLndon by feeing the city wi-'a th-.
mystery of Belie Eim re's aisa; pear
acre unsolved, and a strong personal
feeling entered into the case, accentu
ating the detective's desire to carry
out the task assigned to him by
Scotland Yard.
At 4:30 a. m. The approaching ship's
whistle was heard above the bellow
ing of the Father Point fog tom.
Shortly after 7:30 o'clock the Mont
rose pushed her cose through the fog
and at S:15 the pilot boat Eureka sit
out from shore. She carried a host
of newspaper men and photographers
and the more fortunate townspeople
who were able to crowd aboard.
Four sailors quickly rowed the ten
der alongside the Montrose and Pew
and his companions stepped aboard.
Crippen was standing cear the rail
talking with Dr. Stuart, the ship's
surgeon, and apparently calm. But
that he was nervous was indicated by
his glance and his remark to Dr.
Stuart. “There are three pilots com
ing aboard." he said, nervously. "Is
that not unusual7"
"Crippen. I want you." said Inspec
tor Dew quietly, as he approached.
The dentist recoiled involuntarily as
he recognized the man who addressed
him. then the blood left his face, his
breath came short and fast and he
gurgled incoherently as he was being
led away to the captain's cabin,
whence he was transferred later to
his own stateroom, he said gratefully,
''Thank God. the suspense is over and
I am glad."
Crippen's arrest accomplished. Dew
hurried to Miss I.eneve's state room
where he found her still dressed as
"John Robinson, jr.," on the verge of
nervous breakdown. Her appearance
when confronted by the detective and
told that she was under arrest was
pitiable. All control that she had
fought so hard to retain throughout
the voyage left her. She cried out
hysterically and became so faint that
restoratives were administered. Shut
in her room and restored to woman's
d-ess. she was closely guarded as the
vessel continued its journey, for fear
that she would take her life or col
lapse utterly.
It was more than four hours after
she faced the detective that the girl
was able to sit up. Even then her
condition w-ss pitiful, and no one saw
her earect the ship surgeon and the
stewardess.
