In all 200 offlcers were ordered here
from Fort Dodge. It Is not known when
the remainder will arrive. As soon as the
division Is loged in camp they will be
assigned to duty where required.
FOUR MAGAZINES FOR
AMMUNITION TO BE BUILT.
Four magadnes for the storage of rifle
and artillery ammunition will be built at
Camp Logan. Conjecture as to where
these buildings will be located la distinct-
ly hot In order. Captain W. P. Rothrock.
construction quartermaster has not re-
ceived tho plans for these magaslnes and
can not say when work on them will be-
gin. They will be or reinforced concrete
llreproof and of extremely heavy con-
struction. They will be located some-
where not too near regimental camp sites
and will be protected by a cordon of
armed guards at all "hours. The maga-
lines will be one feature of Camp Logan
and will not exactly be the mecca of vla-
ltors to the camp for obvious reasons.
Captain Tuggle. senior line ofnfcer of the
Ilinols unita now in camp (line offlcers are
of the rank of captain and below) is glad
tha his men will have finished the work
of clearing up regimental camp aite by
Thursday night He Is anxious to get
them back to drilling. The work of grub-
bing out stumps clearing off brush' and
burning it staking out camp sites and
ditching the camp has put tan on the
men a faces and arms given them vora-
cious appetites and kept the kick list
down but he thinks they need the manual
5'artns and bayonet drill to restore the
soldierly snap of which he is proud. A
fine lot of firewood is another result of
thu clearing work. Only one man so far
a Is known came out temporarily the
worse for the work. He carved up one
foot with an ax though not seriously.
.Speaking of the absence of sickness:
the . camp has made an admirable record.

One hundred and' flfty-nlne reserve of-

came through tb doors ot the Rice hotel
at 11: o'clock. Wednesday night and
turned the vWy-ir'f the lobby ollve-
drab. 1 : .
They we're first and second lieutenants
of the offlcers reserve corps assigned to
duty with OeoexaJ Bell's Thirty-third di-
vision at Camp Logan arriving from
Camp Dodge Iowa.
The. officer are products of training
camp stmiar to the Leon Springs camp.
They come from North and South Dakota
Iowa Minnesota and Nebraska. If there
was an Illinois man in the lot no one
knew It. Yet the order assigning them
here stated that so far as possible Illi-
nois men would be sent for duty with
the Illinois troops here. The war de-
partment hat been playing cross-tag
again.
Thursday morning the 169 win report
to General Bell at Camp Logan. Wednes-
day plght they all took quarters In the
Rice. Calling wildly for the reserves the
front elerks at the desk whirled the reg-
ister round and let the first one sign.
The young officers grinned fell Into tine
and filed past. In 25 minutes the last one
had been sent to a room.
In a few minutes the wave poured out
of the hotel and washed down Main
street flooding the owl restaurants. Then
every one gravitated back to the hotel
for aleep after the 41-hour trip down from
Des Moines. They left Camp Dodge at 12
o'clock Monday night - -
Fifteen of the offlcers are artillerymen
and the rest are Of'the infantry arm.-
Information about Camp Logan was at
a premium with them. They had befen
told little of what they were to find here.
The fact that Camp Logan is built in a
pine forest cheered up every one who
heard it Camp Dodge it seems was
built In th middle of a plowed field- of
tine rich Iowa agricultural soil that made
exoellent duet four to Ave inches deep.
That Camp Logan is only a short dis-
tance from the city limits with Jitney
busos running into camp and street car
service soon to be had waa another cheer-
ing bit of Information. Camp Dodge
they said is 10 miles from Dea Moines
"on a bankrupt Interurban railroad." It
took an hour and 2e minutes to cover the
10 mllea when the car service wae not at
it beet they added.
When they arrived near 'midnight
Houston as usual1 had gone to bed. "This
looks like a big town." said one officer
from Iowa "but .where are your people?"

brought In tha orislsal gusher at Gooae

chang. -As soon a be was notified ot
the indictment Mr. Mitchell went imme-
diately to the sheriff office where he
made bond In the um of 910009 the
nretlea being 3. N. Groesbeck of. Hous-
ton and Louis Loblt of Oslveaton. "
The' alleged transaction Involve 11604

The lndlotment alleges that Mitchell

represented to be 2000 barrels and the in-
dictment further states that Mr. Rosen-

sented to have told Rosenbaum was on

mated on April 20 last .when It is in-
serted the eum of $40009 was paid Mr.

NEGRO GOVERNESS
GIVEN $50 FINE
(Continued from Page One.) .
as was hi stomach when he was brought
to Houston a These are aymptoma of
starvation he said.
A ohms of th case which had not or'
vioualy been brought out' developed e
the hearing when testimony waa mad
by Court Bergeant McNutt He said that
he had taken the five whit appearing'
children from their home to the office ot
Mrs. Love probation officer and that
she told him no court order was neces-
sary to take them to the negro orphans'
home.
A denial of Officer McNutt's testimony
was made v ednesday night by Mrs. Love
in the following statement:
"I wish to correct a statement made by
Court Sergeant McNutt in the hearing
before the county court at law concern-
ing the disposition of five children whose
parentage la questioned and who were
placed in the Dixon orphanage at Spring.
"The facts are that Mr. McNutt came
to the office alleging these children had
been taken In a raid the previous night
and that the circumstances of their re-
moval were revolting and under no cir-
cumstances would he permit them to re-
main in the custody of their mother
"Knowing that these same children had
been In Faith home and that their in-
stant removal had been demanded on the
S rounds of racial questions I gave Mr.
IcNutt aa I would any inquirer the in-
fornwtion that the only place seemingly
eligible under the circumstances was at
Spring but that I could not vouch for
Its standard of excellence never having
placed any children there myself and
since there had been some criticism of
Its management In' past years an inves-
tigation should be made.
n'He stated he would investigate ami
made it quite clear that these children
were being placed pending permanent ar
rangements. Me was toia tnat tnese de-
pendency rases were handled by any of
the four district Judaea. No statement
waa made by me that an order from cOQrt
was unnecessary where permanent dis-
position is requried. es It Is only too ob-
vious that such procedure Is not only
required but absolutely essentlsL
'In conclusion I will state that he came
to the office statins he waa tepresentins
the Humane society of the social service
bureau which handles children through
Its representatives Independent ft the
Juvenile court and its probation officers."
County Judge Bryan aald Wednesday
that dependency cases are always brought
before the district court and. that the
children are never before the county
ludre. For that reason he had never
given these children any thought
