S. Regulars Arriving At Stratford For Connecticut War Game ARMY WAGONS STRUGGLE IN CLOUDS OF DUST Camp Fittings Arrive by Mule Teams and Auto Trucks— Headquarters For General Bliss Established—Bridgeport Like Garrison Town—Detachments of the “Reds” and the “Blues” Mustering in Many Villages of the State. Stratford, Conn., Aug. $—The head- quarters of Brigadier General Tasker H. Bliss, who will command the man- oceuvres in this section for ten days, assumed definite form today when long lines of tents were put up by the engineers and great quantities of camp | fittings, kitchen outfits, and munitions of war were brought in by mule wag- ons and automobile trucks. Officers by the score also arrived and men from all arms of the service came in to report for special duty. The arrivals were both regulars and volunteers, and all were in khaki and ready to take up the serious side of the work. In the nearby city of Bridgeport the numbers of men in uniform, and the appearance of many officers, made the streets look not unlike a garrison town. All day through the streets army wagons rolled along towards Strat- ford with now and then a detachment of soldiers, most of them from New York. Narrow Way to Camp. Camp Lee, as it has been named, is on a slight elevation a short distance from Paradise Green. To reach it one leaves the town's main street and passes through Ox Lane, a passage- way so narrow that two vehicles can scarcely pass as the sides are quite steep. Wagons and machines going through the lane have broken up the earth so that dense clouds of dust are cast up. Corn and Potatoes Handy. At the fleld conditions today were not much better as vehicles going across have torn up what was once green turf, leaving brown trails of dust in all directions. The fields com- mand an outlook In all directions. On two sides cornstalks with ripe corn in the ear, and potato patches come almost up to the tents. On the other sides are woods and a small pond. Tents and Wireless. The line of tents with that of Gen- eral Bliss in the center runs north and south. Oneither wing are the tents of Geperal Bliss' staff and thefumpires. In the rear are the tents of orderlies and military clerks. A short distance hehind General Bliss’ tent is the wire- less station, installed by Company A, Signal corps, from Omaha, Captain Holland Rushbottom, commanding. On the extreme right are guns of the Third Field artillery, U. 8. A, which will be used for firing the salutes. In the rear is Troop A, Tenth United States cavalry, from Fort Ethan Allen, the members of which will do patrol duty around the grounds. The officers’ mess houses and kitchens are in the rear, and the latter are so near that the cooks when they cook their meals can hear the corn growing and see the ears waiting to be picked. Parade Ground and Aviators. The center of the fleld will be the parade ground and the aviators also will use it Across, the division- al headquarters of the Second brig- ade, made up of part of New York National guard, has been pitched. On the left are the tents for Governor Dix, of New York, Adjutant Gener: O'Ryan of New York and their staffs. A jag in the contour of the field brings a cornfield right to Governor Dix’s tent. Little Chance For Spectators. Except for this twenty acre lot with its lines of dust brown tents and the cluster of white ones of the National Guard, the neighborhood is rustic. There will be practically no chance for get near the camp unless they over- run the field of corn, potatoes and clover. There will be only a few troops here, comparatively, as the thousands of men will be scattered far and near. The wireless station set up by the Signal corps will work with another station at Milford, the headquarters of the Red army, and Long Hill in Trum- bull, which will be an observation point of the Blue army. | Troops Arriving. | Batteries ¥ and D, Third United States artillery, have gone through to Milford to join the headquarters of the First Brigade of the Reds. Detach- ments of both “reds” and “blues” are showing up in different villages. The Fifth United States Infantry from Plattsburgh, barrachs, under command of Colonel Calvin 8. Cowles, who will be provisional brigade com- mander of the brigade, to be made up of the First and Second Connecticut Infantry and the Second Main Infantry arrived at Newtown and went into camp. This regiment will remain un- til the First Vermont marches in on Saturday, when the Fifth will move to another position for the campaign. State Companies Preparing. Tonight in the armories of the state companies made their final prepara- tions for taking the field as most of their supply wagons will start out tomorrow. Ammunition from Fort Jay, has been coming in for distribution including thousands of rounds for the fild artillery of three-inch' calibre. The bakeries at Danbury and Derby sup- ply depots, sent out from Washing- ton, have begun baking bread. Had Laugh On The Regulars. Some of the national guardsmen who are in camp had -a laugh on the reg- ulars today. The latter have been making fun of the inclinations of the volunteers to bring too much baggage to camp, and uging wooden tables and camp stools. This afternoon the mule wagons were used by some of the reg- ulars to bring in wooden kitchen tables and camp stools for their use as the cars in which their effects were shipped have gone astray and other supplies had to be secured in Bridge- port. Secretary Stimson and Coming. Washington, Aug, 8. — Secretary Stimson and Gen. Leonard Wood are planning to witness the climax of the big maneuvers now in progress in New England. They will leave here next Tuesday or Wednesday, joining Gen- eral Bliss at his headquarters, at the moment when the fate of the whole | | campaign against the city of New York is to be decided, according to | | the programme.

"I think the republi- cans will all vote for it, and we now have enough men on the democratic side to make the two ships a certainty. Many uncomplimentary things are being said by the majority members of the house about their committee on naval affairs, which allowed the house | democrats to get themselves snarled :fe two battleships in the original ap- ropriation btll. “What they should ive done,” saild a leading member of majority yesterday, “was to have waited until an opportune time to bring in the conference report; as it is, they have opened the door for a wrangle within the party.” CUSTOM MEN HOLD UP CANADIAN TRIPPERS.

New York, Aug. 8.—The fact be- came known today that John R. Rock- efeller, Jr, has been ihstrumental in securing evidence of police graft which he has turned over to District Attor- ney Whitman for use in connection with the prosecutor's investigation of alleged corruption among high police officlals that has grown out of the murder of Herman Rosenthal. Denied Conducting White Slave House, While Starr J. Murphy, Mr. Rocke- feller’s attorney, denled today the published report that the oil million- aire’s son had been conducting a dis- orderl® house for the purpose of ob- taining evidence of blackmail against the police, he let it be known that Mr. Rockefeller, who was about a year ago foreman of the grand jury that investigated the white slave traffic, had placed in the hands of the district attorney information “bearing on the police situation.” “Mr. Rockefeller, having become in- terested in white slave matters while foreman of the special grand jury, has since been securing statistics with re- gard to the social evi reads M Murphy's statement. “Whatever in- formation was secured bearing on the police situation has been placed at the disposal of the district attorney. The statement that Mr. Rockefeller or his representatives have been conducting a disorderly house is entirely without foundation.” Evidence Piling Up.

Murphy, Mr. Rocke- fellers’ personal representative,” said District Attorney Whitman tonight. “T understand in a general way that the pretended disorderly house had been concerned and that it was con- ducted without Mr. Rockefellers knowledge. I was told that Detactive Rose of Chicago and other agents of Mr. Rockefeller had supplemented the information obtained In this manner by quiet work among real resorts.” Monthly Graft $600. Mr. Whitman added that the infor- mation had come to him that a pelice inspector had received $600 a month from a disorderly house. This house, it is understood, was one of those in- vestigated by Mr. Rockefeller's repre- sentative. Mr. Whitman said also that one of his assistant district at- torneys, James Reynolds, had been working with the Rockefeller agents for the past few months. Discussed Leniency for Becker. The possibility that the sealed doors of the so-called “system” might be opened wide was strongly suggested tonight when it became known that counsel for Lieutenant Becker, who s charged with instigating the murder of Rosenthal, had visited the dfstrict attorney today and discussed with mm the question of lenlency for his cli- ent. Not long aftéer Becker was ar- rested the district attorney made it known that the police lieutenant's only chance to escape efforts to con- vict him of murder in the first degree depended upon his willingness *o tell all he knew about gambling graft.
