Protest Against Suspension Of Local 8.
". Y. Organization.

Mrs Harriet Z. Scribuer. president Of the
Mary Sherman Miles Auxiliary to General
Nelson A. Miles command. Spanish War
Veterans, which auxiliary was suspended
last Saturday by order of the National
Council Of Administration. has written an
appeal and protest which will be presented
to the annual convention Of the national
auxiliary at New Haven next week. The
paper states that the action Of the council
in suspending the charter of the Mary Sher-
man Miles Auxiliary was unwarranted and
Illegal and that the auxiliary was not
guilty Of contempt, characterization and dis
obedience of orders; that the meeting of the
council which issued the order Of suspen-
sion was not regular and according to the
laws of the organization, as notifications
were not sent to the nonresident mem
sections Of the country.
Mrs. Scrfbner says the order. which 1t
Is claimed was dtsobeyed by the auxiliary.
demanded that certain statements of Mrs.
Isabel Worrell Ball. referring to the legal
izing Of the Illegal initiation Of Mrs. Miles"
be expunged from the minutes and records
of the subordinate body. These statements.
she added, were not made by Mrs. Ball.
but made by the then president Of the Dis
trict of Columbia Auxiliary, Mrs. Ball be-
ing their junior vice president. Mrs. Serb
ner therefore says 1t was not possible to
comply with the order, which she claims
was In error.
Mrs. Lewis, the president general. claims
that the council of administration mem
bers, resident and nonresident, were all
duly notified Of the first meeting. and that
the second, at which the Mary Sherman
Miles Auxiliary was suspended, was an
adjourned meeting from the first. and there
fore, she says 1t was not necessary to send
out further notifications. Another meet
Ing of the council will be held tomorrow
evening at which further action will be
taken.
As a result of the trouble between the
national body and the District Of Columbia
auxiliary number Of the national officers
have announced that they will urge action
at the New Haven convention for the
abolition of the District and all state aux
iliaries. An additional cause for this &C
ton Is said to be serious troubles in the
Ohio state auxiliary In lieu of the District
and state auxiliaries 1t is proposed to have
District and state officers, one for each
Jurisdiction, whose duties 1t shall be to
muster in new auxiliaries, install newly
elected officers hear appeals and perform
the functions of the present District and
state bodies; that these officers shall be
members OF the national council of admin
fstration, to be appointed by the president
general. This plan, those interested claim,
will result in lowering the expenses of the
subordinate auxiliaries by abolishing the
District and state per capita taxes and
leaving only the national tax to be paid

TO BE AWAY.
Col. Biddle Will Attend the War in
Kentucky

Col. John Biddle. tie Engineer Commits
missioner of the District, left the city this
afternoon to be away about four weeks
Col. Biddle has been detailed by the War
Department as the engineer officer on the
staff of Gen. John c. Bates, who will be in
command at the army maneuvers to be I'M
dertakcn during the next fortnight at West
Point. KY. Col Biddle will proceed at once
to West Point, in the blue grass state, and
report to Gen. Bates.
Following the West Point maneuvcrs, Col.
Biddle will go to Fort Riley Kan, to en-
gage in the field work at that point The
colonel was recently on duty as one of
the staff of engineer officers detailed to
watch the army and navy war game off
the Maine coast
During the absence of the Engineer Com
missioner Capt. H. c. Newcomer his first
assistant. will act as a member of the Dis
trict board. The law as it now stands gives
authority to the assistants to the Engineer
Commissioner to act with the board with
full powers. There is no such provision for
the civil Commissioners. Last year the
Commissioners asked Congress to revive
the office of secretary of the District and to
give to the incumbent authority to act
as a member of the board in case Of the
illness or absence of the civil officers. The
matter was not brought before the House.

ally Discussed-Matters to
Be Disposed OF.

There were two sessions today of the ex-
ecutive council Of the American Federation
Of Labor at headquarters in Typographical
Temple. The frat session convened at 10
o'clock this forenoon and the second at 2
o'clock this afternoon.
The meeting was full one. every mem

dents, James Duncan, John Mitchell, Jas.

ton Ill John Mitchell and most Of the
other members reached this city yesterday.
The principal business of the meeting il
to prepare program and to consider mat
ters that will come before the annual con-
vention of the federation, to be held at
Boston in a few weeks.
The case of Foreman W. A. Miller Of the
government printing Office was not brought
officially before the council today. although
1t was informally discussed by the mem
bers of the national body.
The fact that President Joe johnson and
Secretary William A. Garrett Of Columbia
Typographical Union and Mr.. Roche of the
executive committee Of the Bookbinders'
Union Of this city were at the temple dur
ing the sessions Of the council today seems
to indicate that tho local leaders are anx-
louS IOr tAe COUNCIL TO take some preltmt-
nary steps in the Miller matter.
What Is Said.
A well-informed member Of Columbia
Typographical Union, who was sat the
meeting place this afternoon, said he had
learned on good authority that 1t is the in
tendon Of the federation to make President
Roosevelt show his hand in the. Miller
case on the appeal sent to him by the
Central Labor Union of this city before the
federation will. take decided action in the
premises. MN. -.--a --,
1.-The federation must and will take action
in any event." said the speaker; but the
reply of the President to the local appeal
must necessarily shape the course of such
action"
John Mitchell still declines to discuss the
Miller case, and the proceedings today were
secret.
An episode which occurred In the meeting
of Columbia Typographical Union yester-
day was generally commented upon at
headqu,.rt"cs this afternoon
ActioL the. Miller case was Indefinitely
postpone Oh the ground that the matter
was not properly before the union. A mem
Der made the point Of order that the Miller
as it was a political affair. and as such was
forbidden consideration by the laws of the
organization.
President Johnson promptly ruled that
the point was not well taken, as 1t Was not
a political affair.
The charge Is openly made by local
unionists that the Miller case now

ing side by side with non-untonists In yfo-
lation of the constitution OF the Bookbind-
ers and Printers unions.

Response to Complaint Regarding OBJ
structions on Connecticut Avenue.

structtons on Connecticut Avenue.
Charles Rauscher, Charles A. Daily. e. b
Sumph and other business people and tax
payers on the west side of Connecticut
avenue between K and M streets north
west recently sent petition to the Com
mtssioners protesting against the manner
in which the contractors for the new apart
ment house at Connecticut avenue and M
street have been allowed to blockade the
sidewalk with Office structures, etc. 1t was
stated that the Instructions diverted traffic
to the opposite side Of the street and inter-
fered with business. causing each Of the
petitioners financial loss. They asked that
the building be moved and a covered way
constructed along the sidewalk.
The Instructions In question, 1t seems
were placed On the sidewalk and parking
space under permission from the Commits
sioners Col Biddle, the Engineer Commits
siOner, has submitted a statement to the
board. which will be forwarded to the petit
TONERS. He says the present arrangement
was agreed upon after mature considera-
ton.
1.-THE plan adopted he says. was
thought to be of the least disadvantage to
the general public and to owners of stores
on that side of the avenue. The building
regulations allow the deposit of materials
on streets IL which there are car tracks to
halfway to the track, and require that the
sidewalk be kept openly building an over
Of the considerable traffic on Connecticut
avenue 1T was considered Instantaneous
to allow any building material to be piled
on the street. and therefore permission was
given the builders to build the walk five
feet out from the curb and inclose the park
ing and sidewalk with six-foot fence. all
lowing no openings whatever on Connect
cut avenue.
I'm this way sufficient room Is given en-
the street between the sidewalk and car
track. No material whatever will be piled
In the roadway, and no wagons loaded
with material will unload at that point.
Openings for wagons in the Enclosure will
be made on M and 18th streets. In this way
IT UGH dust. dirt and worry. 1t was thought
would be saved the people who use Con-
necticut avenue.
1T was not considered practicable to
move this fence in sufficiently to permit the
existing sidewalk to be used, because on
account Of areas and of existing trees
which it is desired to preserve sufficient
room would not have been left for piling
material. The whole building will be In
closed by six-foot fence, and the office be-
neves that in this way much less incon-
Venience will be caused the public than
would be caused by the issue of the or
binary permit for piling material in the
street. Every effort will be made to reduce
all inconvenience to a minimum"

REUSE OF STAMPED BOTTLES
May Enable Manufacturer to Impose

revenue saying that reports to his office in

some persons engaged in the sale of dis
TILED spirits to refill with spirits bottles
that had once been filled and stamped. He
says that the reuse of DO le in this way
without destroying the stamp previously
AFFIXED may not result in fraud upon the
