The ''ArIny and Navy Union, which the

IN Cincinnati. Ohio. in SSS, 10y the George

Michael I HacEe,t special assistant in
spector general of tie Army and Navy
Union, vino has been at Kansas City, at
tending the Convention Of that body, re
turned to Washington Yesterday.
Speaking of the dismissal from the Army
and Navy Union of Past National CONF
mander Joseph \. Morton and Daniel o
brennan, naymaster general Of the corps,
MI. Hackeit said Neither of these com

neither had a representative there. The
Chan yes against Morton and brennan were

national officers.
These charges by Morton grew out Of

the corps was to have been held ia Nav.
but was PC stponed. owing TO lack o:

Illegal. and that the ution as a legal body
went out of existence with the failure TO
hold the convention at the usual time
The acton Of Morton was held as dis

national clps, and he was expelled by the
unanimous vote Of the conN ention.
"Paymaster General Drennan's case
was similar TO Norion's. He refused To
