OF now ruling the country by a secret po-
iticaI party is so fraughD with menace
to all our Institutions, and is so un-Ameri-
can and so utterly repugnant to all our
feelings of patriotism; therefore be it
Resolved 1st-That we indignantly pro-
test against the use OF our good name in
association with amy such an unpatrfctic
enterprise, and further we emphatically
repudiate and denounce all efforts of Rob
ert st. George Dyrenforth to 50 use our
name, as we'll as all others who may aid
or sustain him in such efforts.
2d-That we remain faithful to our obli-
cations taken when we joined the order.
and declare anew our allegiance to the
principles of the Union Veterans Union
as enunciated in the constitution Of 1885,
3d-That our order is fraternal, and not
political. and we denounce the conspiracy
that would make of it a voting machine in
the hands of a Washington junta to be
sold to the political party offering the
highest inducement, and we pledge our
selves to keep our ranks open only to |
those who have faced death on the field |
of battle, and have been our comrades |
where shot and shell tore through the
unflnching line.%
4th-That the Union veteran has conf |
deace in the government he has fought |
to preserve, and that, the pledges made by |
a grateful people and enacted into laws |
by Congress. have been and will be faith |
fully kept, and the man who would seek
to create in the mind of the veteran |
feeling that his pension is in jeopardy. is I
not a friend of the soldier, but a denaa |
gogus, and we reject his advice with the |
score and contempt it deserves.
5th-That we extend TO our comrades |
in the dpna mpntS M4SS1 chiISpttc |
New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan Ohio |
Illinois, Nebraska and wherever located |
our congratulations that the nightmare I
which has held our organization as in Il !
vice since 1899, is being thrown Oft, and ,
that the order under the gallant leaders |
who have made the long and at times dis |
heartening fight, will come forth purified |
nobler, stronger, and become as it de- |
serves to be, the best soldier orSaniZa- |

our time, money and heartiest efforts"

Pete Sturgis on q Rampage

While in drunken brawl last Satur.
day night. Ned Sturgis. one of the no.
torious ''Sturgis boys" got into quar-
rel with Sanders Jones. of Greenback-
vile, and caused considerable excite.
ment in Stockton, by his threats and
abusive language. They did not come
to blows, but Ned SUNK away to find
his brother, Pete, who was also making
trouble on the streets. He told Pete of
his alteration with Jones, and Pete,
remarking with an oath t nat he would
fix him, started out in search of Jones.
He called Jones out of store, and with.
out any warning began slashing and
cutting him with large ,oocketknife.
Several persons tried to intervene, and
constable William Hill was called
from his home to make the arrest. Pete,
however, was now thoroughly aroused,
and resisted arrest, striking the constable
q heavy blow in the breast. At this
juncture, Edward Whaley. of Bishop
vile, deputy sheriff, arrived in Stockton
on the late train, en- route to New
Church. and took part in the arrest of
Pete. The constable armed himself
with shovel, and the deputy sheriff
with a gun, which they hurriedly
snatched from q store, and started in
pursuit of Pete, who had gone up the
railroad in the direction of his home.
When he heard his pursuers he turned
to face them, advancing at the same
time, and challenging them with dread
full oaths and imprecations, to meet him.
Pete still had his knife and was brand.
ishing and waving it toward them in a
threatening manner, when he was
struck blow with the shovel in the
hands of constable Hill. This did not
phase Pete, although he was struck a
hard blow, and Whitley, who was at too
close range to shoot, struck him heavy
blow on the head with the barrel of his
gun. This felled Pete, knocking him
insensible. and he was secured and
brought to Snow Hill where he was
lodged in Jail about two o'clock Sunday
morning. Ned, who provoked the
quarrel, and who precipitated the fracas,
has disappeared, and has not been heard
from. Ned and Pete Sturgis are dan.
gerous characters and have frequently
caused reign of terror in Stockton
when under the influence of drink.
Now that the law has its grip on one of
them, it is hoped that he will be dealt
summarily with, and punishment, com.
mensurate with his many offences, be
dealt out to him.

deal of comment has been directed to
this capable representative of the

matched by its case of control. Its

WHITE HOUSE CALLS FALL
SHORT OF OTHER YEARS
Line Moved Slowly to Examine I'M
pT0vemeGts.

The combined power of popular inter
est in the annual New Year Day re-
ception at the White House and indi-
vidual curiosity as to how more than
half a million dollars had been spent
in improvements to the mansion, were
still sufficient TO attract Thursday a
crowd nearly as large as passed through
the mansion just year ago This fact
.occasioned considerable comment. and 4
certain amount Of speculation has fol-
lowed today as TO the real reasons for
the falHng-on in the attendance.
The official attendance Thursday was
$500. and the line continued passing the
President until nearly o'clock. At
that time the receiving line consisted Of
only the President. Mrs. Roosevelt. Mrs.
Knox, and Mrs. Payne. Mrs. Hay left
early to open her home to the Diplo-
matte Corps at noon Mrs Shaw and
Miss Wilson stepped out of the line be
fore 2 o'clock to prepare for the re-
ceptions following Immediately at their
own homes.
Last year 500 callers came to pay
their respects to the President and re-
ceive from him his Enthusiastically
hearty handshake The weather this
year was even better than last year, and
the arrangements more complete because
of the greater facilities for handling the
calling line. But the line entered more
slowly, in spite of all the efforts Of ush-
ers to hasten the procession. This was
doubtless because of the general desire
to view the new furnishings of the apart
ments through which the line passed
Echoes Of the reception, whenever
heard, are Invariably commendatory of
the management of the great formal
function which ushers in the official sea-
son. The plan Of having the general
guests enter through the north portico.
pass the reviewing party. and go through
the East Room, basement corridor, and
the new east terrace furnished solution
of the problem which has vexed the
White House officials for many years.
Heretofore this state OF affairs has al
ways neeessitated the construction Of a
temporary exit through a window OF the
north front Of the mansion. This awk-
ward and un2ightly arrangement is now
a thing of the past.
Expression of opinion on the interior
improvements to the mansion was. in
the main, OF ~ approving sort. The oc-
sa5lonal criticism heard seemed small
il comparison 10 the great volume of
praise. On the other hand, it may be
urged that the greater number of peo-
PIE based their praise on the pleasing
effects secured by the bright coIors and
the new furnishings of The, interior
Those who criticised based their re-
marks on fncongruities.
