THE DAY AT CAMP PRATT
Physical Examinations Begun by
the Surgeons
DRESS PARADE DRAWS SPECTATORS
Soldiers of the Seventh Not Unanimous on the Purpose to
Which the Proceeds of the Exhibition Drill
Shall Be Applied
Camp Pratt has settled down to regular
military routine. From the iirst call at 6:15
a. m. to tapa ul 11 p. m. there is something
to keej) the soldier boya busy most of tbe
time. The part of the park occupied by the
camp has been raked and swe]* as clean as
the conditions of mellow earth aud mud
from ovcrsprinkling in some places and too
little in others will allow. Taken as a whole,
the discomforts are few nnd tho ndvnntages
many. The big pepper trees that line the
driveways nnd walks afford shady places to
lounge under. The water supply is abund
ant, and the grand stand does duty in a
variety of ways, both for spectators and the
men who will call the camp home for the
next fortnight.
During the early morning the enmp is
closed, even to the unlucky bhtocoat who is
out without a pass, and, though stem-faced
sentries pace up nnd down before the gates
and through the grounds, visitors come and
go unchallenged through the afternoon.
"Indignant friends" are too previous in
rushing into print with their protests about
"our gallant boys of the Seventh being on
exhibition like wild animals, at 25 cents'
admission." There is no admission fee
charged on any day except Sunday, and then
it is for the privilege of looking nt two or
three big hounds chasing after one little
mite of a scared rabbit and shaking the life
out of it, that people pay for, not our gallant
boys.
It is just a little bit of affectation in the
b6ys, after nil, w«acn they pretend to being
annoyed by sight-seers. There is no denying
that the Spanish-War style of military uni
form is natty and becoming, and it is a poor
slouch of a boy who is not dignified aud glori
fied by the army blue. The constant drilling
of Ihe past few months has taught them how
to carry themselves, how to walk erect and
stejy firmly and soldierly, and while undis
guised admiration may be embarrassing to
the over-shy individual, a grand stand full
of pretty girls, waving handkerchiefs, cheers
and applause nt every graceful evolution
give eclat to the tedium of Company drill
ami could not at all be dispensed with at
dress parade. Besides, this is tbe last chance
for brown leggins and "Teddy" hats to be
effective, and also for drills nnd parades
with genuine military adjuncts and mounted
officers. It will all be play soldier after this.
Physical examinations begnn yesterday
morning and will probably continue through
the next four days. Capt. Pratt and the
surgeons were busy nil dny, and so far it. is
estimated that there nre about 260 men who
Will be eligible for pensions. The disabled
young veterans do not take their disabilities
very seriously. "A hundred dollars," called
one to another ns he left the surgeon's tent;
"one lung bad."
The books of tlie? hospital steward, Ira F.
'Allen, showed after sick enll in the afternoon
60 eases reported, most of them minor ail
ments, nnd 30 convalescents from file hospi
tal at the Presidio. Privates Nichols of
Company L, with bronchitis, nnd Ogburn
of Compnny M, with fever, were taken to
the Sisters' hospitnl on Sunday afternoon,
and there is one man in the regimental hos
pital in the camp. There arc numbers of
sick and absent convalescing in homos and
hospitals in the city, whose names do not
appear on tho steward's book.
There has been a change of sentiment, or,
rather, the regiment as a whole is not unani
mous in the object to which the proceeds
of the proposed exhibition drill shall be
applied. Some are in favor of the monu
ment fund; others think the money should
be given to the needy families of their de
censed comrudes, as a. monument to the dead
can come later from other sources. Yesterday
morning each company was called together
by it.s captain, and a vote was taken. Com
pany E was Unanimous for the benefit fund;
Company F, 0 for the monument, 72 for the
benefit; Company Ct, 42 monument, 23 ben
efit; Company I, 49 monument, 12 benefit;
Companies X and M,. Unanimous for the
monument, and L unanimous for the benefit:
the remaining companies have not reported
yet. A final decision will probably be
renched today. Compnny X, by unanimous
consent, presented $7f> of the company fund
to a comrade who resides at Piru, who has
been ill for the past four months.
Chef Moisted hns been obliged to increase
the cooking facilities of the regimental
kitchen. A new six-foot range and five
sma'ler ones were put up yesterday after
noon. Each meal requires 195 gallons of
coffee. Four beeves and nine or (en sheep,
six to eight sacks of beans and one thousand
loaves of bread nre consumed daily. Though
the edibles are ill of the best quality, the
kickers, who have established a reputation
for the regime Tit, get in their work with
military precision each meal. Some like
grnvy on their bncon, others don't nnd that
affords nn opportunity to kick long nnd loud.
The hotel kitchen is used exclusively lor pre
paring food for the sick, for which two cooks,
one waiter and one dishwasher are employed.
Beginning on Sunday noon, by order of
Colonel Berry, tho several companies were
detailed to alternate enrh dny nt. the first
and second tables. Compnnirs B, <!, X, M
and E went first and A, 1), E, H. 1 nnd L
second. Instructions were also given in the
order concerning the order of marching to
the mcsß room, etc.
The picturesque event of the day for vis
itors to the camp is dress parade, with the
officers mounted, the first call for which is
sounded by the buglers nt 4p. in. The grand
stand was filled with an admiring crowd and
a line of spectators hung over the fence,
among whom were many soldiers not on
duty, to whom it can be no longer a novel
sight. The alert unanimity with which the
heads of uniformed men are bared when
the band plays the "Star Spanglpd Hanner"
and the colors are lowered, is an object lesson
In patriotism to the indifferent civilian and
the observant small boy.
Before the regiment left the Presidio
Colonel Berry appointed Lieutenant Colonel
Schrciber and Majors Weller and Welsh a
committee to confer with the one from the
chamber of commere concerning the ar
rangements for the exhibition drill. The
joint committee held a meeting at the Hoi
ienbeck yesterday afternoon. ,f. S. Slauson
sms elected chairman, H. W. Frank secre
tary nnd A. B. Cnss treasurer. The five mem
bers from the chamber of commerce, Messrs.
Slauson, Frank, Cass, Burnham nnd New
berry, were chosen to act as a finance com
mittee, while the military details will be ar
• i
ranged by the officers of the regiment. The
date has not been definitely decided upon,
many soldiers and citizens having expressed
a preference for Thanksgiving dny, Instead
of Saturday next, as first named. The gen
eral admission was lixed at 25 cents and 50
cents for the grand stand.
OFFAL ON VACANT LOTS
Complaints to the Merchants and
Manufacturers' Association
A complaint was made at the meeting of
thehoa rdo fdirectors of the Merchants and
Manufacturers' association held last even
ing, that many people in the business sec
tion of the city are in the habit of dumping
garbage and offul on vucant lots, thereby
jeopardizing the health of the adjacent
residents. The secretary was instructed to
call the attention of the health officer to
the matter und to request him to use his
power to have the nuisance stopped and tbe
guilty parties arrested. In view of the prev
alence of diphtheria und typhoid fever it
wns deemed necessary that immediate steps
be taken to prevent the spread of disease
through th unsanitary condition of certain
parts of the residence portion.
Several of the retail merchants presented
a request that the Merchants and Manu
facturers' association to take charge of all
appeals for charity that are being made to
the merchants and that the association be
made the custodian of a special fund to be
contributed for that purpose by the mer
chants. The business men complain that
they receive as many as twenty calls a day
from people soliciting aid for charitable in
stitutions und in order to save annoyance
and much time they desire the association
to act for them and to distribute funds in
worthy cases. The president appointed
the following committee to investigate the
subject I M. Hamburger, James Montgom
ery and Ni B. llluckstone.
In order to bring the workings of the
ussociation more thoroughly to the notice
0/ its members and to givo the latter un
opportunity to suggest and discuss mat
ters of importance to the commercial com
munity as well asrpublic improvements the
idea was suggested to issue a monthly bul
letin containing articles contributed by
merchants, a synopsis of the work done anil
proposed by the association, together with
a list of the members each month. A com
mittee consisting of Directors' Marshutzand
Herron and Secretary Zpehandeluur was ap
pointed to prepare a plan for tbe publication
of the bulletin, with instructions to report
at a special meeting of the board of directors
to be called for that purpose.
The Alcatraz Asphalt Raving company
was elected to membership.
NEWS OF THE RAILWAYS
General News Matters and Personal
Mention of Interest
The first Raymond & Whitcomb excur
sion from the east for Southern California
w ill leave Boston today nnd Is due here on
the 22d. There are live carloads of tourists
in the party.
Raymond station on the SaMa Fe near
Pasadena has been closed as a ticket oflice.
The Santa Fe at La Orande station in
October, by (iencral Baggage Master Isaacs,
handled 13,517 pieces of luggage; of these,
7182 pieces were received, making 844 more
coming in than going out, which shows the
trend of overland travel.
Superintendent W. B. Reamer of the
Southern California railway at San Ber
nardino came to the city yesterday in his
private car, a luxury with which all Santa
Fe superintendents are now provided.
Dr. F. K. Ainsworth, surgeon of the
Southern Pacilic company in this city, is
convalescing after a severe attack of ty
phoid fever.
W. 11. Sncdcker, general coast ngent for

the Burlington have gone to San Francisco.
C.eneral Agent C. C. Crowe of the Vander
bllt lines of San Francisco is in town for a
few days.
The report that the Santa Fe intended to
establish an ice plant nt San Bernardino
proves to be without foundation other than
the desire of G. E. Voorhees of Santa Bar
bara to get some Santa Fe land in the former
place for that purpose.
ORO GRANDE TRAIN ROBBERS
Their Trial Begins Today in Federal
Court
The trial of Clyde Bennington, Lovenza
D. Hnile and' Albert Onsae-r, accused of the
Ore Grande train robbery that resulted in
the death of Engineer Clifford, and Jones,
one of the highwaymen, will begin in the
United States district court this morning at
10 o'clock. The "hold-up" occurred on the
morning of April 20 last, while the north
bound Santa Fe passenger train was ap
proaching Oro Grnnde. The engineer and
fireman were covered with rifles by masked
robbers; the mail car was separated from the
train, and run some distance up tbe track.
Postal Clerk Lukens was ordered to throw
out the mail, and then, with his assistant.
H. M. Ashby, was ordered back into his
car.
The robbers placed Engineer Gilford be
fore them as a shield in approaching the ex
press car and the detached section of the
train. In the dim light of the morning A.
0. Mott, the express messenger, supposing
them all to be robbers, fired, killing the en
gineer with the first shot, nnd wounding
Jones with the second. The wounded high
wayman was brought into the city, but died
without making a confession, or disc'oeing
any of the facts.
Bennington, Haile and Casner were nr
rested at Oro Grande by Deputy Marshal
Ponsdale, but there is still some doubt ns
to whether all the men concerned in the
robbery have been secured.

TERRIBLY SHOCKED
LOUIS N. RHODES, AN ELECTRIC
EMPLOYE, INJURED
He Received a Shock of 2000 Volts
While Working 25 Feet Above
the Ground, and Fell
Louis N. Rhodes is another victim to the
Jeudly electric current. Yesterday after
noon he and a companion were working un
der Foreman A. U. lloff for the Edison
Electric company, changing wires on the
corner of Hellevue and Ueuudry avenues.
Rhodes is a ground man and has been work
ing in that cupacity for the company since
lust February. Of late, however, he has
been employed in helping the linemen by
clearing away brush, digging post holes and
setting poles for the putting in of new lines
at the corner of Ueuudry und Bellevue av
enues.
He climbed the pole at the corner and
hud reached the crosspiece about twenty
five feet from the ground, but did not yet
attach his safety Strap, lie had the light
wire between the thirt/and] fourth fingers of
hi* right hand and when in this position
his left hand came in contact with a tele
phone wire which completed the circuit,
und Rhodes received the full current from
the electric light wire.
His companion attempted to catch him
before he fell, but succeeded in getting bis
fingers only an inch inside of his belt and
with this hold could not restrain Rhodes'
weight, who fell backward, making a com
plete turn in the air, and struck on his face
aud chest, knocking him insensible.
The patrol wagon took him to the receiv
ing hospital, where on examination it was
found that he had a severe burn on his right
hand, another on the inside of the left calf
unit a deep cut on the chin, with a slight
contusion on the left cheeky where he wtruok
the ground. Besides these wounds, it was
found that he had suffered internal inju
ries, as his lungs were badly congested with
blood. These internal injuries are verj - seri
ous und may prove fatal, his condition be
ing critical last night.
Rhodes lives at 984 East Thirty-second
street and has a wife nnd three children.
A MOTORMAN INJURED
Elliott Pollard Badly Crushed and
Hurt Internally
Yesterday afternoon about 2:30, Elliot
Pollard, an extra motonnuu in the employ
of the Los Angeles Railway company, had
a narrow escape from death at the car barn
on the corner of Seventh street and Grand
avenue.
Foreman Percy Warner was ranning a
car onto the track which leads from the
barn into the street when Pollard, who had
taken his toolbox and had started to jump
on the car, was caught between the car and
a post near the track. Warner yelled l to
him, but too late, and Pollard was twisted
between the car and post in a space of only
five inches. When the ear had passed and
released him he fell to the ground uncon
scious.
Drs. Stewart and Cates were summoned,
and it was found that Pollard had a crushed
hip and was internally injured. The patrol
wagon h.nl been summoned, but his friends
preferred to remove him to his room at the
Eureka, corner of Third street and Stephen
son avenue.
The exact extent of Pollard's injuries
could not be positively determined last
night, but it is thought his internal injuries
arc likely to prove the most serious.
