DENOUNCED AS ABSOLUTELY FALSE,
Director Merriam Denies Trying to
Help Senator CuIIom,s CanYaan

Help senator CullOm's Canvass.
The attention of the director of the GEN.
sus having been called to statement in
the Illinois State Journal, printed at
Springfield, to the effect that blank COM
missions for census enumerators have been
distributed among Illinois politicians for
the purpose of influencing the republican
county conventions to instruct for Senator
Cullom, Census Director Merriam charae-
terizes The story as an absurd falsehood.
No commissions to enumerators have been
issued, in blank or otherwise, nor will any
be issued before the middle of April.
Senator Cullom has made no attempt to
Influence the action of the census office in
any particular. The law provides that the
enumerators shall be commissioned by the
supervisors, but only with the consent of
the director. Lists Of the enumerators Sc
lected in each district must be submitted
to him for his approval in advance, not
later than April /. accompanied by satis-
factory evidence of the competency of each
person therein named; and the commissions
will in no case issue until after the exam
ination and approval of the test schedules
which must accompany every application for
appointment as enumerator. No official
influence will be exerted by the director of
the census for against any candidate for
any Office in the gift of the people, and he
is not interfering directly or Indirectly in
local politics in any state or territory Of
the Union.

being entirely of an informal nature, 1t
was decided to meet again at o'clock.
Representative Wheeler's interpreted
tim of the CanatitufiOn.

Representative Wheeler's Interpreta-
tiOn of the Constitution.
The lawyers of the House Of Representa-
tives were keenIy interested in the develop
ments at Frankfort yesterday because OF
the conflict Of authority raised. Most OF
them, however, were disinclined to express
their views upon the status.
Representative Wheeler of Kentucky,
who is an ardent Goebel supporter. SAID:
The constitution of Kentucky provides
for the meeting of the legislature at thes seat
OF government. 1t had been meeting there
when the acting governor forcibiy restrain
ed It from entering the hall OF representa-
tives and prevented it from meeting at any
other point. The provision for meeting IN
the legislative hall is merely directory.
Failure to meet at that place does not
vitiate that act of legislation and ordering
the oath administered is the judicial de-
termination of the contest pending by the
highest authority known to the law OF the
state and from which there Is no appeal:
The chief justice of the state recognized
this by administering the oath to Goebel.
i feel warranted in saying that no lawyer
in Kentucky will deny the right of the
legislature to pass upon the contest as a
fna;ity no matter what opinion he may
ho;d as to the justice of its opinion

TOO OLD TO LIVE IN CAMP.
G. A. r.. Veterans Will BE Chartered
in School Houses I'm Chicago.

CHICAGO, February 1.-Commander-in-
Chief Albert D. Shaw of the G. A. R. listen
ed last night to reports of the progress
made by the general committee having in
charge the arrangements for the thirty
fourth annual encampment, which con-
venes in this city the last week in August
One Of the most important matters consid-
cred was new departure, which ccntem-
plates the abolition of large camp for the
veterans and the quartering of them in the
public school houses A recommendation
to this effect was made by Medical Direc-
tor DR.. Thomas ]. Robeson and was favor
ably received. The advancing age of the
soldiers was one of the principal reasons
assigned for this change from the program
of all previous encampments.
Apart from the spirit of the patriotism
which marked the principal remarks of all
the speakers, there seemed to be stern
realization that, as veterans of the civil
war, they were fast reaching the declining
years OF life. This has seemed to stir the
old-time soldiers to an extra effort to make
the next annual encampment the greatest
of all.

BRUISES AND BLISTERs ON BODY
Peculiar Circumstances Attending
Two Deaths at Grand Rapids.

CHICAGO, February IA special to the
Chronicle from Grand Rapids, Mich, says:
George Laf1amboy, who was found uncou-
scfous in bath room Monday night, with
his brother, Prof. A. Laflamboy, dead in a
tub OF hot water. died last night without
having regained consciousness He was
apparently suffering from a powerful mar
cotic.
post-mortem examination of the body
OF George Lafiamboy showed a heavy
bruise on the small Of the back and two
large blisters on the foot. How these in
1ur1es were received deepens the mystery,
as no evidences of struggle were found
in the apartments occupied by the
brothers. There was nothing in the bath
room to cause the burns. The theory now
advanced is murder and suicide, but as yet
nothing has developed to substantiate it.
