Wood, was assigned to-day to conduct an investigation Into the admitted “spread-englo” GUARDSMAN LASHED TO A CANNON WHEEL IN ‘SPREAD-EAGLE’ POSITION sistent in upholding the National THE EVENING WOKLD, THU.ABSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1917, | ficers of the State will be forced to tacitly endorse the obsolete “spread- eagle” punishment If they are con- |Guard as a section of a defensive jarmy. The strapping to @ gun car- | riage of the eon of a Bronx butcher | Is likely to have far reaching effects: | Col. Donaldson's investigation prob- ably will bring out that the Second Bat- talion of the Second Field Artillery is a badly disorganized body. Not only are a majority of the privtaes in al- most open revolt against thelr offi- |cors, but the officers are not in har- |mony among themselves. It became |known to-day that Capt. Wilbur T. | Wright of B Battery, ordered the ar- jfest last night of Dean Nelson, one of his lieutenants, on a charge of in- subordination. Lieut. Nelson was officer of the day yesterday. He left the army in the afternoon and on his return was charged by his Captain with being absent from duty without permission. What Lieut. Nelson said to Capt. Wright was highly edify to the privates within earshot. Lieut, Nel- son was paroled after his arrest. The Second Battalion will be mus- tered out of the regular service to- morrow, according to Capt. Gilbreth, in charge of the arrangements, ‘The fact that the battalion will then go back Into the Natlonal Guard will not halt the investigation, as Col. Don- aldson has power to inquire into any matters connected with the battalion while it was part of the regular army. nee aap Schiff Given $100,000 to Red Cross, The American Red Cross ts richer to-day by @ $100,000 check presented yesterday by Jacob H.

MAX KELLERMAN punishment administered on Tues day to Private Max Kellerman of the Second Battallon, Second Field Ar- tillery, in the armory at One Hun- and Sixty-sixth Street and Franklin Avenue, the Bronx. ‘The Investigation, while it starts with Kellerman as the subject, will certainly go into charges made by privates that four others were lashed to the wheels of gun carriages in “spread-eagle” fashion, that the funds provided for rations have been improperly used and that the men have been mistreated in many ways not only since their return to New York but while on duty at the border and en route home. Lieut. Col. Hines of the Second Rattalion, issued a long statement to- | day upholding the action of Lieut. Frank Spencer, who ordered the “spread-eagie” punishment, It ap- rs that the responsibility {s up to Spencer, who joined the regiment) shortly before it left for the border and was promoted rapidly while at} McAllen, ‘Texas. Lieut, Col. Hines, it appears, was not consulted by Lieut. Spencer in the matter of Kel- lerman’s alleged insubordination, and ordered Kellerman's release as soon as he heard of the incident. Kellerman is nineteen years old. His father, August, a butcher at No. | 1060 Ogden Avenue, has retained a lawyer to look after the interests of the boy. Inasmuch as the Major | General commanding the Department | of the East ken charge of the | matter and orde: an investigation | stponed an inten- tion, announe the case to Secretary of War Bal It appears just now that the re lar army will make the Kel case an opening thro’ concerted militia system, witle O’Ryan and the National James McCreery & Co. 5th Avenue On Friday and Saturday Special Offerings MEN’S FURNISHINGS “McCreery Silk Shirts” Heavy Silk Shirts,—neat color- ings; a splendid variety of patterns. 4.95 Made of “McCreery Silk Shirts” .
