ENLIVENED BY DEBATES.
Session of American Federation of La
Dor Convention at Boston.

Session of American Federation of La
Dor Convention at Boston.
Boston, Nov. 1.-TWO spirited de-
bates enlivened what would otherwise
have been dull session at the con-
yention of the American Federation Of
Labor at Faneuil Hall Monday. The
first was on the question. OF whether
the federation should grant. a charter
to the insurance agents Of the coun-
try, and after somewhat acrimonious
discussion the matter was referred to
the executive council.
This was regarded blythe delegates
as defeat of the plan to organize and
charter insurance agents. The Sec
ond debate was upon the subject of
industrial depression. It was called
forth by the report of the. committee
on the presidents report, endorsing
the statement of President Gompers
that period of industrial depression
was coming. Several delegates ex-
pressed their opinion that no depres-
sion was probable but the Socialist
delegates insisted that the presidents s
forecast, was true; They urged, as a
possible preventive not only organiza-
tion on trades union lines, but also
the formation of a political organiza:
tion by labor workers. Fifty or more
resolutions were disposed of during
the day, many calling for: the appoint,
ment OF organizers for Western and
Southern states being referred to the
executive council with power to act.

FORGERY2
Breckons Looking
Into Fire
Claims.
Lost or Stolen Papers
Presented for
Payment.
Assignments to be Investigated by
District Attorney $751;
600 Paid Out.

A dozen or more fire claims have
been referred to District Attorney
Breckons by Treasury Agent McLen-
nan fer investigation. In all of these
claims two parties have made a de-
mand upon the First National Bank,
one man holding an assignment of the
original, which in many cases the
claimant says had been stolen or he
had lost. What appears like case
of forgery of the assignment will also
be looked into by Mr.. Breckons.
While none of these claims are for
very large amounts, there appears to
be an indication of crooked work some
where. The matter was usually brought
to the attention of Treasury Agent Nc
Lehman through the receipt by the
First National Bank of protest
against the payment of certain claims.
In some instances it was charged that
the fire claims certificate had been
lost, and in others that it had been
stolen. The First National Bank re-
fused to pay the claim at all, either
to the party who held the alleged as
signment or to the man who said he
was the original claimant.
Most of the claimants over whom
this dispute has arisen are Chinese,
though there are two natives in the
bunch of twelve If the story of the
professionals is to be believed and the
claims have been lost or stolen, then
at least there must have been forgery
of the assignment by the holder Of the
claim was presented IN each instance
That this is not true in some instances
is shown by the fact that one of the
local banks is the holder of the claim
which is disputed by Chinese as
having been '1ost or stolen" though it
may be possible that the banking in
stitution was an innocent purchaser.
In some instances also the claim may
have been disposed of at big dis
count, and the claimants now that ne
sees the money in sight is trying to
ger his claim back.
United States Attorney Breckons is
making a rigid investigation of the
disputed claims and is summoning the
rival claimants with a view to ascer-
tanning the real facts in connection
with the cases.
There still is steady stream OF call
ers at the First National Bank from
the opening in the morning until the
close in the evening, and the million
dollar pile is fast diminishing under
their onslaughts. Altogether at the
hour of closing business yesterday the
bank had paid out 1921. 900 which is
more than one-fourth. of the total

MEMORIAL DAY WILL BE THE OCCASION
OF A STIRRING MILITARY PAGEANT AND
OF IMPRESSIVE G. A. r. CEREMONIES


That nod where stood the battle lines
a strain of music, low and sweet,
Mixed with the tread of marching feet;
A ghostly legion threads it's way
Beneath the grim pines far away;
No loud command. no sound of gun,
No sabers flashing in the sun.
Where laugh the ripples in their glee
AS meath the stars they seek the sea,
Two ghostly pickets guard their posts,
Behind them camp the spectral hosts;
No campfires in the starlight glean.
No light falls on the silent stream,
Yet, to and fro. in blue and gray,
The spectral pickets tramp. their way.
The sweet rose mods, the lily blows
Where men in battle met as foes;
The wren hath built her tiny nest
Where gushed the blood from hero
breast;
There's rust upon the broken blade
Deep in the heart of yonder glade,
And flowers fair of every hue
Fall on the brave who dream in blue
No thought of strife, no dream of war
The nations sacred day can mar,
The lily, type of love divine,
Is found in heart of wreath of pine;
And, reunited, North and South
With flowers hide the lannon's mouth,
Whilst Love and Friendship. warm and
true.
Recrown the brave who sleep in blue.

rnR BRIGHT Side OF LIEs.

1t is a feeling common to the
majority of us that we do not
get quite the amount of happi-
ness we are entitled to. Among
the countless things which tend

cradle i'll health takes first place.
Hannah More said that sin was
generally to be attributed to
biliousness. No doubt a crippled
liver with the resulting impure
blood, is the cause of more men
tai gloom than any other single
thing. A chronic dyspeptic, SAYS
an eminent English physician, is
always on the verge of mental
upset. And who can reckon up
the fearful aggregate of pain,
loss and fear arising from the
many ailments and diseases
which are familiar to mankind.
Like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
ly be said to have any Upright

ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like

FOR MEMORIAL Day.

There is grandeur in gfaves-there is
glory in gloom;
For out of the gloom future brightness
is born,
As after the night comes the sunrise

And the graves of the dead with the

May yet form the footstool of liberty's
throne,
And each single wreck in the warpath
of night,
Shall yet be rock in the temple Of
right.

Quickning the clay of our insensitive
Dull natures with the awe of infinite,

fit
On the solemn brooding mountains. o.
the dead,
How they do shame the living. how
they warn
Our little lives that huckster for the
bread
OF peace and tremble at the worlds

To pick their steps among the flowers.

Daintily soft where the raised idols
are,
Prone with gross dalliance where the
feasts are spread.
When most they should strive forth.
and flash afar
Light, like the streaming of heroic
war.
