NO INDIVIDUAL CHARGES
Grand Army Resolutions Devoid Of
Sensational Features.
low Although Candidates May Be
More Strictly Examined.

The resolution passed by the Department
OF the Potomac u. A. r., Thursday night
instructing the incoming commander to
begin an investigation or the membership
of the rolls of the local societies 10 determine
whether some ineligibles have not become
members lTas been considerably discussed.
There are, itsecns, no scnsauonalreatures
10 the idea which prompted the resolution
a test OF eligibility is not merely that
man served as Il soldier in the Union ranks
during the war. The requisites ire embodied
in the rubrics which follow:
First, TO join the Il. y. r., one must have
been "A soldier or sailor of the United States
Army, Navy or Marine Corps who served
between April IL, 1861, the day sumter
was fired on, two days afer which PreSi-
dent Lincoln issued his cali for troops, and
April 9, 1868, the day Lee surrendered
Only those having been honOrably dis
charged after such service are eligible.
The second requirement is that no per-
son shall be eligible TO membership who
has at any time borne arms against the
United States.
The hardship OF the second clause is that
many East Tennesseeins, West ViTginiaus
and others ares said 10 a4ayc been compelled
to go into the Confederate army, who es-
capped and enlisted in the Union ranks.
These are all excluded.
The resolution. therefore. does not seem
to have such specific Individual reference as
would cause general investigation TO see
If either OF these rigid rules has been violated
in the admission OF members. There may
possibly not have been such strict APP
plication OF these requirements as is neces-
sary. This can only be determined by The
new commander, John McElroy, who must
go over the individual records, procurable
| from the War Department.

Mrs Beach Has Not Received All the

MOntN lOE
&. a rather unpleasant story has come out
in reference 10 tie collection of money
which was made among the iron workers
i'm aid OF the mother of Charles Beach,
who was killed at the new city postoffice
The collection was made because it was
stated at the tine, which has since been
verified, that the unfortunate man was the
only means of support OF his mother.
One OF the men who contributed called
at The Times office last night to say that
while the information given to at least
two OF the men was that SIG was col
lected, only SIS was turned over for tie
benefit of Mrs Beach.
Thcipiorma mt OF The Times. Il accompanied
by another OF the workmen, called on Mrs.
Beach, the grandmother of the deceased,
very recently. and asked her how much
money was received. She said that it was
only SIS, and that she had received it her
self although it was for her daughter.
This sum was sent to her daughter, the
mother of Mr.. Beach.
In order to verify the story, the work
men went 10 see Mr.. William KinSey, the
timekeeper at the building, and he was
asked how much was collected. He said
SIG Mr.. kinsey WAS in position 10 know,
as he took around the subscription list.
