DIDN’T KNOW THAT BOY WAS INJURED furniture, } as So Judge Kirkham Discharges John = Tkacz, Alleged Auto Law Violator —Other Cases. John Tkacz was discharged by Judge J. H.

The + state failed to prove that Tkacz, al- though he did not stop, did know that he had injured Joseph Ragola, a boy. As the little boy was not knocked | down when Tkacz ran into him Mon- day at the corner of Main and Lafay- ette streets the court assumed that there was no reason for the cyclist to Lelieve he had caused any injuries. The boy was not badly hurt, a di colored eye being his worst injury. Joseph Randolphi, who came here from New York state a few days ago, | was arraigned cn a charge of opera- ting a motorcycle without an opera- | tor's license. He was arrested by | Officer John J.+King at the corner of | Main and Church streets yesterday af- | ternoon. Randolphi had his registra- | * tion licenses and it appeared that it was only thraugh ignorance of the| Connecticut law that he was not pro- | vided with the operator’s license. His case was continued for one week in bonds of $200 to make certain that he gets his license. Frederick Cock was charged with @runkenness and breach of the peace, .it being claimed that he caused aisturbance in Butler’s saloon on Hartford avenue on the Fourth of July. He admitted everything that was charged against him and seemed to be suffering with either remorse or 2 “big head.” The court impesed a jail sentence of thirty days and sus- pended judgment during good be- . havior. Alexander Marcavich, charged with drunkenness, was fined $5 and costs, Officer Crowley arrested him last evening.

CAMP OF PERSHING MARVEL OF ORDER | Peacelulness Is Kenote of Head- quarters of Punitive Expedition Field Headquarters, Colonial Dub- lan, Chihuahua, June 29 (via army | motor truck to Columbus, N. M., July 6.)—Compact, prepared and unosten- tatious is the American field head- quarters camp in Mexico. A walk through it showed no evi- dence of the hurry, the curt com- mands, or military stiffness, sometimes asserted with an army ready for oc- tion. Instead, there was about men and animals sprawling around camp with the comfort of perfect health, each man knowing his duties so weil that half an hour’s warning would be sufficient to empty the great camp and change it into an army on the march. Tents of Cavalry. Long rows of shelter tents marked the camp of the cavalry command, The tents stood in a three-inch dust, their tops the height only of a small child’s head above the ground, their interiors ovens, because of slight space between the sun-heated canvas above and tne equally hot earth below. In them tired men were sleeping. Hard mus- cled and brown skinned, these men were prepared for any strain. Beyond, loomed refreshing bowers of green boughs, interiors darkened and cool, where kitchens showed Zood prepared in cleanliness as a part of the contribution of preparedness for keeping their fighting men in trim. Motor Truck Contingent. In the heart of the camp, rows of huge grey motor trucks were parked in geometrical designs. About them men crouched in the shade of their big bodies, their olive drab clothing stained beyond washing, with road On the steering wheels hung brilliant red, green and blue hand- kerchiefs, just washed and drying. These were the head gear of the truck drivers, who have learned that they cannot hope to protect more than their heads and their mouths from the dust clouds. In the company streets a few jagged tins were scattered in seeming disor- der. They were temporary washing utensils, saved from what usually is junk. At the front of every soldier's tent lay an orderly array of ammunition belts, pistols, and fighting paranherna. lia. But they were not conspicuous because each pile lay in almost the same position among the tent trap- pings. The machine gun batteries and even the big field guns might be passed without attracting attention, so exactly was each placed, covered from dust, in readiness for action. Wagon and Pack Trains. Orderly lines marked the camp of the pack and wagon trains. Picket line after picket line of trained and tough- ened mules was there, each the length of one city block. The drivers were giving the animals the most careful attention, for they realized that ire quently upon the training and muscle of such mudes may depend the lives of soldiers in campaigns, especially as here in Mexico, where supplies have been outrun by the fighting columns, A pair of socks and a shirt, hanging on the wire fence, which enclosed the camp of the signal corps, perhaps fcrmed the only discordant note. For, from the point of view of prepared- ness, the size of the soldier's washing might have been called Tux- ury. It meant the owner had an extra shirt which he was wear- ing. It meant he was carrving excess weight in contrast to others of the soldiers.,, who have carried no extra clothing for weeks. In this camp washing and bathing have been done simultaneous- ly, the hot sun and winds drying the clothing by the time the bather is ready to dress. COMMENDS JELLICOE FOR NAVAL BATTLE Officers and Men of British Grand Fleet Eulogized by Admiralty After Action of June 1. London, July 6, 5:36 a. m.—The secretary of the admiralty has sent to Admiral Jellicoe a letter from the L Commissioners of Admiralty, eulogiz- ing the officers and men of the grand fleet upon their conduct in the en- gagement with the German high sea fleet on May 31 and June 1 off Jut- land bank. The letter congratulates them ‘“‘on this, the first fleet action since the outhreak of the war, as the result of which the enemy, verely punished, withdrew to his own ports.” The communication continues: “The events of the 31st of May and the first of June gave ample proof of the gallantry and devotion which char- acterized all who took part in the bat- tle; ships of every class were handled with skill and determination; their steming under battle conditions af- forded splendid testimony to the zeal and efficiency of the engineering staff, while individual initiative and tacti- cal subordination were equally con- spicuous.
