FUNSTON fAvORS THE CAHTEEH.
RIames Increased offenses Of Soldiers
Upon the Abolishment Of
the Post Exchange.

Washington. Sept. 27.-Brigadier
General Frederick Funston. in his an
nual report for the department of the
Colorado points out that the percent
age of trials by court martial of en-
listed men has nearly doubled during
the past year He says in part:
ut is, therefore, plain that there
has been deplorable increase OF Of
lenses in general and of desertion in
particular. In my opinion there are
two principal causes for this state OF
affairs: First. resentment Of unae-
customed limitations and restrictions
felt by men returning from field ser
vice to the monotony and routine work
of garrison life; second, the abolition
of the canteen feature of the post ex-
change. Since this action was taken
saloons Of the lowest type have been
established just outside the boun-
daries of the various reservations.
Their proprietors, in almost every
case, unprincipled scoundrels, who
leave nothing undone to debauch the
soldiers and obtain their money. Be
ing in all cases outside the limits Of
any city, the proprietors of these re-
sorts are subject to no municipal pc.
lice regulations anG sell liquor regard.
less of hours and whether the buyer
is already intoxicated or not. Gam
bling is universal in these dives. and
they are frequented by dissolute wo-
men, The soldier whose desire for
a drink ordinarily would be satisfied
by few glasses of beer in the can
teen of the post exchange, goes to
one of these resorts and does well If
he escapes before he has spent or
gambled away all his money, over
stayed his leave or engaged in an al
tercation."

Shenandoah, Pa, Sept. 27.-Sheriff
Knorr, of Columbia county, yesterday
afternoon asked Governor Stone to
send troops to Centralia. The gov
ernor referred the matter to General

trolley cars filleu with non-union men
and stoned the workmen. Guards
from neighboring collieries were called
and drove the rioters back. A work

board were warned to quit work un-
der threats of being harshly dealt
with.
Centralia is small community and
General Goblin says the men who have
been violating the law there are known
to the sheriff and his deputies, and in
stead of applying for troops the lat
ter should arrest the lawbreakers and
put them in Jail.

Carry YOu to Washington In 1909.

The seth annual eucampInent G. A.
r.. Will be held IN Washington Oct,
6th-11th. The b. g. u. is historic
road and became famous during the
civil war. Ia one Of its announce
ments speaking Of historic places 1T
says of Harper's Ferry, the gate of the
Shenandoah valley, where the three
states of Virginia, West Virginia and
Maryland come together; where the
Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers unite
where the towering sleeps of the Blue
Ridge end abruptly, frowning upon
the heights of Maryland and Bolivar
Heights In West Virginia, lies the
quain this torictown of Harper's Ferry.
John Brown baptised 1t in blood in
1859, when he captured the town and
u. S. Arsenal and made his final and
fatal stand Ia the engine house (known
afterwa DIS as John Browns Fort),
alongside the Baltimore 81 Ohio Rail
road. A plain shaft, simply inscribed
now marks the location.
Again ia 1861, grim yisaged war
seized the village and held it tight in
It's grasp for nearly four years. The
deeds that were done, and the tales
that are told concerning Harper's Fer
ry fill volumes.
The heights at Harper's Ferry
guarded the Shenandoah Valley. 1t
was most important stronghold to
be desired when some great campaign
was planned by either army.
From Harper's Ferry the Shenando-
ali Division OF the Baltimore q Ohio
