NEARING THE CLOSE.
Civil Engineers to Be Given Reception
Concluding Feature of Convention.

The attendance at this mornings ses-
sion of the convention of the American
Society of Civil Engineers was not as
large as usual, there having been no spe-
cial assignment on the program for today.
Members of the local committee made up
several parties of convenient numbers and
ploted the visitors about the city, point
ing out and inspecting the principal engi-
neering projects of the national capital on
the expeditions.
The members resumed today the discus
sion of the subject left over from last
night, which related to the advisa bility of
regulating engineering practice by a code
of ethics. The discussion occupied the
whole time of the business session and the
sentiment expressed by those taking part
in the discussion was decidedly opposed TO
establishing the code.
The outlined program was carried out
last evening, the discussion on the various
topics being opened by Mr.. Rudolph Her.
ing, Mr.. Elwood Mead and Mr.. George A.
Soper. After the business meeting an in
formal dance was held, which was partici-
pated in by a large number of the men,
bers of the society and their guests.
A reception to those attending the con-
vention will be held at the Corcoran Gal
lery of Art this evening from s to IL
o clock. Those who will receive are the
trustees of the gallery, the president and
secretary of the society and members of
the local committee. This reception will
mark the close of the convention which
has been in session since Tuesday, May 20

ADMIRAL scHLEY A Skinner.
Made Member of Almas Temple at
Meeting Held Last Night.

Admiral Schley was made member of
the Almas Temple, Mobiles Of the Mystic
Shrine, at the meeting of the temple held
last night in National Rifles Armory. After
the ceremony of initiation a banquet was
held, at which nearly 100 Shriners were
present and cheered Admiral Schley vocif-
erously at the conclusion of his speech.
There were number of other speakers, all
of whom referred to Admiral Schley as the
hero of Santiago" in glowing terms. The
initiation ceremonies were secret and only
the members of the Shrine were permitted
to witness them. Illustrious Potentate
Frank X. Raymond presided and received
the candidates presented for initiation. AT
the conclusion of these exercises the cam
didates and members of the temple assem-
bled in the banquet hall on the first floor.
where an excellent repast had been pre-
pared in honor of the occasion.
The POSTMASTER was Illustrious Poten-
tate Raymond, who introduced Frank III.
Hosford. and he was followed by Mr.. Z.
B. Hay.
The POSTMASTER then called upon Admiral
sehley for speech, whereupon Haley's
orchestra struck up the Star Spangled
Banner and the diners cheered wildly
The admiral said he surprised to be
called upon for a speech on such an occa-
sion, but he was glad of an opportunity to
express his thanks to the Shrine for TAX
ing him in.
Il am proud to be a member of Almas
Temple, said Admiral Schley, because
you are all such devilish good fellows. l
have always wanted to join your ranks,
but somehow never had the opportunity to
do so. Tonight'S experience has been a
revelation to me and have learned several
lessons that l mean to take to heart. j
say again | am proud to be a member Of
such an order with such a host of jolly
men, who extend to greater strangers than
the hand of good fellowship"
The speaker had scarcely taken his seat
wien Noble ,JOSeph G. Pratt of Aloha Tenn
pie of Honolulu sprang to his feet and on
behalf of the people of Hawaii proposed
three cheers for Admiral Schley. Before
the echoes of the cheers had died away
Noble F. L. Cashier of Kora Temple. Lew
iston, Me-, proposed three cheers for the
s0miral behalf of the people of the
state of Maine where, he said the name
of Admiral Schley is honored as much as
it is in the south, where he was born and
educated.
Other speakers were Representatives Shocks
of Ohio. Representative Sulzer, member Of
Mecca Temple New York city; Mr. Thomas
p. Morgan, Mr.. Joseph G. Pratt, Mr.. c. IL.
Nenable. Mr.. E. l.. Cashier and Mr.. Geo.
H. Walker. Just before the adjournment,
Potentate Raymond announced the selec-
ton of Mobiles George II. Walker and James
Lansburgh as the delegates of Almas Tenn
pie to the Imperial Council of the Shrine,
which meets in San Francisco next month
The election of the delegates took place
just before the banquet and the counting
of the votes was finished while the dim
ner in progress.

OPPOSE SUNDAY LAW.
Mass Meeting Declares Against Pend
ing Bill-Committee Appointed.

Organized opposition to the proposed Sun
day closing law which is pending before
Congress, developed at a mass meeting held
at Oppenhemer's Hall, 514 9th street north
west, last night. About fifty people, who
are engaged in different business pursuits
throughout the city, and who desire the
privilege Of keeping their places of business
open half a day Sunday, were present, and
a committee of five was appointed to wait
on the District Commissioners at an early
date and present the views of those who
attended the mass meeting. 1t was pointed
out that a number of merchants keep their
stores closed Saturday. as they observed
that as a day of rest instead of Sunday. 1t
was suggested that Sunday stores are a
necessity for the working class of people,
and are kept open for their benefit as much
as for the benefit Of the storekeepers.
The meeting was called to order shortly
after o'clock, and Henry Smith of 604 Az
street southwest was elected chairman No
time was lost in getting down to business
and the chairman announced the purpose
for which the meeting was called and
| asked for the views of all present. B. F.
Davis of Coz I'd street southwest was the
first to address the assemblage He said If
the stores were allowed to remain open half
day Sunday 1t would be much of an
advantage to the merchants as to their pa
irons, and suggested that petition be sent
to the Commissioners. Mr.. Davis said it
was reported that there were 300 stores
open in the city last Sunday, and he was
Of the opinion that the number was nearer
LOCO.
Henry Sackerman OF 315 AZ street south
west suggested that If Sunday is to be OBJ
served as day of rest, the street cars
should not be operated and ministers should
not be allowed to labor. Morris Bloom,
grocer at 1100 New Jersey avenue south
east, declared that number Of people did
not receive their pay in time Saturday to
do their shopping, and were forced to make
their purchases on Sunday morning. Mr.
Bloom said he was willing to keep his place
of business closed Saturday.
DR.. Julius T. Loeb, a rabbi of the Jewish
faith, declared himself to be in favor of one
day Of rest in each week, and suggested
that that day should be Saturday. accord
