EXAMINATIONS BEGIN
FOR CADET OFFICERS
Eight Candidates in Line for Diff
ferent Positions.

The Central High School and the Nc
Kinley Manual Training School will
probably have each three cadet COM
panies this year instead Of two each. as
they had last year The large enroll
ment in the schools. it is said, viii
make such an increase In the High
School Cadet Corps possible.

rank of colonel. lieutenant colonel. mai
or OF the first battalion, major of the
second battalion. regimental adjutant.
with the rank of captain. and regimental
quartermaster. with the rank OF cap
tain. will commence this afternoon ana
continue until Saturday. The examina-
tions. which will be held in the Light
Infantry Armory. will be based upon the
ability to command, the knowledge OF
drill regulations. Nthe physique. and the
voice
There are eight candidates for these
positions, four from the Central High
School, Yates, Hand. Hugo, and Van
Week: two from the Eastern High
School, Simons and Freeman, and two
from the Mckinley Manual Training
School. Huddleson and Schultz. The
examining board consists of Lieut. Col
Burton r. Ross. Major S. Porter House,
and Capt. Harry Coope. all of the First
Regiment. District of Columbia. Espe-
cial stress has been laid on the fact that
no account will be taken by the board
OF any previous rank held by the can
didates. The present merit of the can
didate alone will determine whether OF
not he shall receive the appointment.
Huddleson, of the Mckinley Manual

only a third class man, he was cadet
captain of the winning company.

which he made a few days ago. The
question was brought 10 his attention by
man in New York who asked what
rate he would have to pay on four air
tight canisters containing human ashes
which he desired to mail to San Fran
cisco.
The department was puzzled to an
swer the question. Mr.. Madden finally
decided the ashes should pay the mer-
chandise rate OF ] cent for each four
ounces. Never before. as far as known,
has the department had to deal with
human ashes. 1t is supposed they have
gone through the mails on a number
of occasions. but that the shippers
simply sealed them up and paid first
class postage rates without consulting
officials about the matter.
