Michigan Men Are Reaping a Har-

who have been operating here and in
other northern Indiana cities for the
past month. These men scatter poisoned
wheat on the public highways at early
morning hours. Thousands of birds
have eaten the grain and then quickly

The motive was a mystery until yes

claimed to be a professional in the art
of catching birds, using, he said, chloro-

counties by this scheme in the last four
months.

SOLDIERS TRAVEL PAY.
When They are Entitled to It and
When They are Not.
OIIICdSD sDVpL. 4U--lA
Washington special says

Chicago Sept. 26.-A Daily News
Washington special says:
Acting Comptroller of the Treasury
Mitchell has rendered an important de-
cision at the request of the secretary of
the treasury that will facilitate the
mastering out of the volunteers and
settle their claims.
The assistant comptroller holds that
soldiers are entitled to travel pay from
the place of discharge to the place of
enlistment and also if the soldier is dis
charged on furlough except in cases
where the distance is greater than the
distance from where the soldier was
encan1ped to the point of enlistment
In that case he is entitled to travel pay
only from the point where his regiment
was stationed to the place of enlistment.
Another matter settled by the de-
cision is that officers and soldiers dis
charged at their own request are not
entitled to travel pay, but where an
officer or soldier resigns or is discharged
on account of sickness or wounds then
he is entitled to travel allowance and
such discharge or resignation is not re-
garded as having been made for the
convenience of the soldier.
It is also held that discharge or resig-
nation takes place only from the date
on which the officer or soldier receives
official notice that it has been &C
ceuted When an officer or soldier is
discharged he is entitled to travel al
lowance and not mileage and officers on
waiting orders are entitled to full pay.'

DO NOT DESIRE A STRIKE.
Milwaukee Freshmen Resume Work
on Catalogue Sent From Chicugo.

Milwaukee, Sept. 27.-MiIwaukee
pressmen are anxious to avoid strike
which may be precipitated upon the or
der Of the National Printing Press
mems union. The work in controversy
some 200, 600 copies of a catalogue, was
sent to and is being printed by four
Milwaukee frms-the Riverside Print
ing company, the King, Fowle & Ma
gee company, the Myer-Rotier company
and the Evening Wisconsin company.
The work came to Milwaukee from
Sears Roebuck & Co, of Chicago. The
prsssmen at first passed a resolution
refusing to work upon it on the ground
that it came really from the nOn-union
firm of W. B. Conkey & Co. of Ham
mond, Ind, and Chicago.
President J. H. Bowman of the Press
mems International union last night
ordered work upon the catalogue to
continue. 1t is claimed that Sears, Roe
buck & Co is a union Office and accept
ed the work in good faith. It has been
represented to him that Conkey & Co.
had nothing to do with the work.
It is understood that the order for
strike which was withdrawn temporar-
aly by Mr.. Bowman will not be again
given, provided the Milwaukee firms
viii not be again given, provided the
Milwaukee firms will not accept any
more such work from Chicago. It is
probable that this will be agreed to.
