Denison wants all the railroads it can
get from whatever direction they may
come. The meeting may result in a
great deal of good in the line of organ.
lied effort to secure other roads. A
committee consisting of j. P. Conner,
Chas. Tabor and j. p, Romans was ap-
pointed to investigate thoroughly the
proposition as made by President Gere
of the proposed new road, and to report
to the business men as soon as possible.
After this matter was disposed Of, it
was thought to be an opportune time for
a consultation as to the formation of a
business mems association.
All present seemed to favor the Idea
but in order that no mistakes might be
made and that every one might be in
cluded, a committee was appointed to
canvass the city and report to meet
ing to be held on Friday evening, May
90. This committee consisted of
Messrs. Conner. Lally, Kuehnle, Naeye,
J. B. Romans, s McHenry and Eugene
Gulick. Mr.. I'll. A. Cook acted as sec
retary of the meeting. Our business
men should talk freely with the mems
bers Of the committee and it action is
taken it should be vigorous and har-
monious.

Washington, Aug. 14.-The board Of

sociation held meeting Saturday at
which Miss Clara Barton, president
of the association, presided. A full
quorum was present. The work which
the association will probably be called
upon to perform in case of declared
war between the nations and China
was discussed. In the event condi-
tions become such as to Justify the
Red Cross in taking up it's legitimate
work in China, il is very likely it will
do so in cooperation with the Red
Cross of Japan. The only nations
which have not acceded to the Geneva
treaty of the Red Cross are China and
Mexico, so that should the Red Cross
undertake It's work in a war between
the nations and China it would have
to do so, so far as China is concerned,
by a special understanding with the
country.

San Francisco, Aug. IL. - The mill

been overcrowded for some time past,
and the constant arrival of soldiers
with long sentences to serve has
caused the issuance of an order direct

This is in addition to those recon-
mended by the board Of clemency ap-
pointed some days ago. The COM

to prevent the discharge Of so many
men, many of whom are desperate
characters. Maj. Oliver E. Wood has
