DETROIT, Sept. g. = Commander-in-

in his report to the thirteenth annual en-
campment of the organization today made
an important recommendation about the
society's badges and decorations Mai.
A B. Davis, of Pittsourg, up to his death
a few months ago, furnished all badges
and regalia to the society. Commander
Sheppard recommended that the order
now manufacture its own badges and sell
them at a profit for its own benefit.
Quartermaster General Bottoms report
showed the order in good condition fnan-
cially, with 1000 in the treasury.
The membership has fallen off about
LOCO in the past year according to Adjt
Gen. Abbotts report, and he ascribes this
to the fact that so many of the young
men from whom the orders membership
would come have enlisted in the army
The report shows a total membership Of
$4,000, scattered among 1900 branches
The convention adopted resolutions urg-
ing cordial cooperation and expressing
admiration for the G. A. r., deploring
perversion of Memorial day and urging
the preservation of the day as holy one

CASE IS REoPENED.
Ransom Brothers Again Before the
Commission

Commission.
The case brought by Ransom Bros,
of Albert Lea, before the state railroad
and warehouse commission, asking for
better rates over the Milwaukee and
Minneapolis & st. Louis, was reopened
before the commission yesterday by the
discovery of the fact that the Milwaukee
has a tariff in effect from Albert Lea
which was not furnished the commission
and of which they knew nothing
E. D. Seweu, general Northwestern
agent of the road, called at the Offices
of the commission yesterday afternoon
and conferred with Secretary Teisberg
on the subject. He stated that the tar
if was not in reality a regular freight
tsriff, but was more Of the character
of billing Instructions" issued to the
roads agent at that point An exam
nation of the rates shown by the docu-
ment persuaded the commission that
though the road had not acceded en-
tirely to the demands of Ransom Bros.
they had made important concessions.
The discovery of the fact that a lower
rate is in effect amounts practically to
finding q secret tariff. An agreement was
reached between the secretary of the
commission and Mr. Sewall for confer
ence on the matter, at which time the
new rate sheet will be laid before the
commission in full.

WILL NOT CUT LOOSE.
OmaI,a and Burlington Remain With

Omaha and Burlington Remain With
Western Passenger Association.
The Omaha and Burlington still re-
tain their utilization with the Weste rn
Passenger association, and reports yes
terday confirmed the opinion that neither
road will cut loose and follow the exam
pie of the Milwaukee. There has been
considerable speculation since the Mil
waukee's action was announced as to the
outcome of the trouble with the weak
lines, and it was thought at first that
both the Omaha and Burlington would
Withdraw in order to protect themselves.
1t is announced, however, that no such
move will be made. The Western Pas
senger ssociation has tken a middle
course and will seek to retain the men,
bership of the two roads by giving them
ieeway to meet whatever condition Is
brought about by the lines outside OF
the association 1t is reported that the
association has notified both roads to
take what action seems best to fight
the lines outside of the association on
their own grounds If they undertake to
force matters
