Grand Army Suggestions.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
AS the time is approaching to decorate
the graves of Union soldiers resting in The
various national and other cemeteries in
the United States and especially in this VI
cinity II appears to me rather strange that
the national cemetery at Balls Bluff, near
Leesburg, Va, is generally ignored. An eff
fort was made last year to send a delega-
ton of G. A. r. men to the mentioned
place. but no volunteers could be found
Notwithstanding the railroad company Of
Tered reduced rates. providing not less than
seven would go.
My object is to let the loyal people know,
in order to make some arrangements 20
that effect while it is time. l also wish to
draw the attention of your readers to an
other important item; that is, the erection
of Grand Army hall here in this city.
This matter was agitated heretofore, but it
appears no suitable party is willing to start
the ball in motion. 1t seems strange that
the G. A. R., composed of about 5,oe0 mem
bers, the Women's Relief Corps. Sons and
Daughters of Veterans, American Legion Of
Honor and other similar organizations do
not put their shoulders to the wheel and
gather subscriptions, issue stock, hold ex-
cursions, entertainments, &C., in order TO
obtain home for all who are more or less
connected with the G.. A. r. 1 think some
property can be bought and paid partly in
stock or subscriptions. Now is the time
Let US follow other cities, and stop paying
such high rents, but use the money to- pay
for the building. INDEPENDENCE"

Young Boys.
Prof. Geo. w. Cook of Howard Univer-
sity sent out invitations last week for the
boys in the vicinity to take lunch with
him in the university mission. The effort
brought together nearly a hundred boys.
After light refreshments were served, Prof.
Cook gave the boys some good advice. rela-
tive to the evils necessarily resulting from
bad company, and from spending their
time in the streets He said street life
makes rowdies Of boys, and rowdy boys
will not have friends and will never
amount to anything. Others who took part
in the meeting were Mr.. Ralph Wormley,
Mr.. H. E. Baker, Mr.. A. S. Gray, DR.. War
ing and Mrs. A F. Hilyer.
1t was decided to hold the meetings every
Sunday at e o'clock, under the direction of
Prof. Cook.
AS a practical result of the meeting a
law and order league was formed and up
ward of sixty boys signed a pledge not to
gamble countenance gambling in any
form, especially the game Of craps"
Prof. Cook was very enthusiastic IN
speaking of the results of the meeting. 1T

ciety. We want to see If We cannot de-
crease the number of arrests of boys. We
have begun with the boys themselves and
mean to show them the two ways.
"a frequent cause of arrest of boys Is
crap playing, and we shall direct our eff

SO fruitful of crime In dealing with this
class of boys for the purpose OF breaking
up crap playing, We think our meetings,
in the long run, will prove to be much
better than the patrol wagon"

SHOT IN THE MOUTH.

Young Lcer Was Left Lying by the
Side of the Track.
The circus has left the city, and all the
lost children have been restored to their
parents. Several disorders and fights &C.
CURED about the tents, but no one was
seriously injured until Saturday night.
when the circus train vas near Garrett
Park, on its way west. Then young man
was shot, and he is now under treatment
in the Emergency Hospital. His name is
Charles Leer, and he lives on ID street
northeast. The wounded young man is only
eighteen years DID, and Saturday night he
went out with two companions and boarded
the circus train at lexington, intending TO
ride some distance up the road and then
return.
But when the train stopped at Garrett
Park there was difficulty. Those who
were Stealing ride were put off the train,
and Just what happened before the young
man was shot will probably not be known,
unless there is an arrest and trial 1t is
thought that there was a stone battle. and
that one of the circus men fired the shot.
Leer was deserted by his companions,
and when the train had pulled off he was
lying beside the track, probably uncon-
scious, from the effects Of a pistol shot
there until about o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Railroad men on an early morning
train saw him, and supposing they had
seen the body of dead man telesraphed
both to Baltimore and this city. Dennis
Healy, the operator at Garrett Park
found the wounded man, and brought him
here on the $50 train. When the train
reached the depot the sight of a policen an
seemed to revive the wounded Young man,
and he wanted to run. But the policeman
put him in the wagon and sent him 10 the
hospital
The bullet knocked out one of Leer's
teeth, and although seriously injured, it is
thought he will recover. He was much
better today
AS the affair happened in Maryland the
Montgomery county officials will probably
investigate the case.

BEEF ON THE FREE LIST.
Secretary MortOn's Remedy for Arti-
fically High Prices.

The following letter on the beef question
from Secretary of Agriculture Morton ap-
pears in the National Provisioner, the or
gan of the meat and provision industries:
Dear Sir: Referring to your letter in
curing whether am in favor of placing
beef on the free list and intend to make
a favorable recommendation to the execu-
tive thereon, l will say that i have stated
that in case of a combination or trust to
artificially advance the price of any COM
modify 1 have believed that one of the
best remedies was to place that commodity
upon the free list, whether II was beef
or any other article. / have not stated
that there was a combination or trust
which has advanced the price of beef,
but have directed that an investigation be
made to determine, If possible, whether
the apparently excessive increase in the
retail price of beef was due to the manipu-
lation of such a combination or the large
packing houses.
LAS that investigation is not yet CON-
pleSed l am not prepared to say what
Recommendation ] will make to the execu-
tive and it probably would not be proper
for me to state SO long in advance what
the recommendations of my annual report

Wheat Is Booming.

CHICAGO, May 23.-Wheaf started
with wild lunge for the dollar 'tasr&
to-day, touching 81c for July option
before $50. At the tap Of the sspen-
ing bell almoet every man 'en the
floor was apparently yelling Eerwheat.
There was but little on sale, sahd the
market opened wildly at from 3 to 4
cents. advance over last u5ght, the
first trades ranging from soto 81 cents
as compared with tn ataast nights
close. The big profits Ina Sic were too
alluring for many fortunate holders.
and as they began to sst go in large
quantities. prices droRped from the
high point.
From Sic July tuu1bled rapidly to
1928 reacting about 10 o'clock to 1917
The immediate cause of the bulge was
the condition of the foreign markets,
Liverpool was reported as plunging
madly about &c above yesterdays
price and all the other European
markets were almost as radically
strong.
One of the greatest crowds seen in
many day was packed in the CALLER
les of the Board. When the bell rang
every man and woman in the gallery
leaned forward with theirgaze riveted
on the wheat pit, where the widest
excitement prevailed. The bare head
and perspiring crowd showed and
struggled in mass, surging back and
forth across the bottom of the pit and
upon the steps, like Gagged wild beasts
An unframed ear could not detect a
single Ineligible sound, but the
bears heard all too plain $50 to 8014
bid for July wheat" which closed
last night at.T714. The impression
seemed strong with the general
public that wheat was good for 81
and many are holding out for that
price.
President Baker of the Board said
wheat would sooner be cheaper at 81
than it is now at SOC, and that it was
now cheaper at soc than it was last
winter at SOC.
The trading was enormous. 1t was
estimated that probably 2OO,OOO,OOO
bushels were bought and sold during
+ the trading hours. Every broker
had his hands full of buying orders
from out of town spectators. Orders
from New York came by scores. The
difference between New York and
country orders was that the Gotham
spectators generally named a price
Mt which they desire to invest, while
the country dealers put no limit on
the transaction, their kilograms sim
ply saying "buy wheat"
In the last ten minutes a phenom-
email slump occurred. July broke
from 8114 to 1873, IL advance over
last nights close. The decline was
due solely to the heavy taking of pro-
fits-by holders Of largely local pro-
fessionals. The country was a con-
sistent buyer TIP to the finish.
New YORK. May 23-In the wheat
market to-day there was a wild tumult
OF buying, with almost total disre
gare to price. July opened at SO to
s31s; a rise Of 3 to 81 from the off,
cisl close OF yesterday. After jump
ing to S3%, the price lest 116c, then
swung back again up 10 s4A. The
transactions amounted to 10000 900
bushels before IL o'clock, which is
almost unheard OF.
