Dissertation Of Memorial Day.
, the Editor of The Journal

see by an item in The Journa
that the Memorial Day committee have
requested the authorities to prohibit the
desecration of Memorial Day. This is a
move in the right direction Memorial
Day is sacred day to every G. A. r.
veteran, the Relief Corps and Sons of
Veterans, and it should be sacred to every
one who loves his country and flag. The
popcorn and peanut vender and all other
money making schemes should be ban
ished from the cemeteries and, like the
money changers in the temple. they should
be driven out Of the business. Perfect
order should be maintained at all the
cemeteries where sleep the nations hon
ored dead. When the beautiful aud
sacred ceremony is being performed by
the G. A. r. and others in placing
wreaths and flowers on the graves of
those who died that the union might live,
let these vendors know that this is no
place for money making and disorder.

LABOR ORGANIZATIONS
"sIT UPON" Mr.. MILLER
That is, They Meet and Discuss His
Case, but Will Still Wait.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 70
There was long discussion at meet
ing tonight at Typographical hall OF
the situation arising over the rem
statement of w A. Miller, assistant
foreman of the bindery in the govern
ment printing office, who had been ms
charged because he had been expelled
from the bookbinders' union. Inc
meeting was attended by two repre-
sentatives of the International Book
binders Brotherhood, J. w. Dougherty
its general secretary, and. j.. A. Epsey,
the financial OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES by
the presidents and secretaries of the
various allied organizations represented
in the government printing Office, and
also by President Gompers and Secre-
tary Morrison, of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor.
After the meeting the statement was
made that no definite action of any
character had been taken, and that tins
time had been consumed in discus
sion. No time was set for another
meeting, and it is stated that the pres
ent preference is to wait to see what
action Public Printer Palmer will take
in the case of Miller, against whom
charges of unfitness have been pre-
ferred.
cations say they feel that the presi-
dents ruling in Millers case practically
makes the government printing Office
an "open" shop, In which man or
woman may be employed whether
members of any union or not. They are
very anxious that the chief executive
find some way in which his ruling
may be modified so that this condition
of affairs will not arise.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. July Is
The secretary of war has sent to the
treasury department box of cigars
and S100 which was received from the
Department of Texas with thanks. Col.
Glen, chief of quartermasters depart
ment, found the box of cigars on his
desk, and upon opening it discovered
it was from a contractor who was do
ing some work under the quartermas-
ter's supervision. In the box was the
money. The colonel was very indig-
nant. and referred the matter to Gen.
Fred Grant. commanding the depart
ment.
The contractor acknowledged send
ing the cigars by messenger boy, but
said he didn't know anything about
the money. Gen. Grant thought noth-
ing could be done by prosecuting the
man for attempted bribery. and sent
the cigars and the money to the de-
partment. From the war department
they were sent to the treasury where
all unclaimed funds are sent. The
cigars subsequently were sold for So.

the references to the spirit of good feel
ing and harmony pervading all classes in
Ireland, adding that if his visit helped
to extend and consolidate this feeling he
would be richly rewarded.
Their majesties subsequently lunched

of functions. Among the pleasant Incl
dents was the presentation of special
address to the queen from the women of
Londonderry drawing attention to the
fact that Londonderry Is an important

PEKIN, July 2S.-The Russian adj

heretofore have ignored the law. Dur

last Thursday.

CHANGE IN MILEAGE
SYSTEM TO BRING
ABOUT ARATE WAR
Abandonment of CredentiaI
Books Threatens Serious
Complications in Missouri
River Territory.

Western railroads, that have de-
clared their intention of using a mile
age system good on trains. instead OIL
the present credential book, have in
dicated a preference for the. W. A.
Thral ticket. There will be a meet
ing tomorrow of the passenger off,
Gals of the roads interested, at which
it is likely a definite decision will he
reached.
A majority of the st. Paul-Chicago
lines have decided to abandon the
credentiaI system for the interchange
able mileage The roads that have
thus signified their intentions. are the
Milwaukee. Burlington, Wisconsin
Central, Minneapolis & st. Louis,
Great Western and Northwestern. Inc
Great Westerns acceptance is subject
TO the approval of the executive off,
GERS of the company. At the general
Offices is is said that the system viii
probably be adopted.
1t is likely that the new mileage Will
be used by Sept. /, or possibly by Aug.
Is. Railroad officials say that the
change from the credential system to
the interchangeable mileage ticket is
sure to bring about rate war in the
Missouri river territory, as many of
the lines operating in that section are
opposed to the change.
The Rock Island-Frisco and the
Gould system are openly fighting
the new mileage ticket and are threat
ening to cut rates if their competitors
insist upon the change. One of the
worse rate cutting wars that the West
ern lines have ever experienced is
bound TO follow. TIE Rock Island
Frisco and the Gould lines contend that
the new interchangeable mileage pan
establishes 2-cent a mile rate for all
class of traffic.
Although rates will be slashed in
the Missouri river territory when the
new plan becomes effe' tive, the war
Will not extend to the ST. Paul-Chicago
system. 1t is understood that the
Rock Island and other lines entering
The Twin Cities, which will not accept
the new system, will do nothing to
antagonize the Chicago-S St Paul roads
that adopt the interchangeable books.

drowning in Lily lake. Witnesses who
had seen Clauson Sunday morning were
examined as TO the mans apparent con
dition of mind when they saw him ana All,

evidently not aware of his presence. Rey-
nolds watched him go into the reeds on
the north shore of the lake and after
Officer McNaughton was unsuccessful IN

around in the mud and water, Reynolds
ran for a boat and was about 800 feet

help and saw him sink from sight O1lcer
McNaughtOn was of the opinion that the
man had delirium tremenS and went into
the reeds to hide from some imaginary
foe.
A former schoolmate of Clauson tele-
phoned from st. Paul yesterday that he
had called on Clauson at the Hotel Ryan
last Wednesday and that 1t was apparent
to him at the time that Clauson had been
considerable prominence in Davenport.
He came from q good family, his father
having been mayor of Davenport several
terms. Clauson was prominent in social
and political circles and had a good prac-
tice. A telegram was received from Day-
export instructing the undertaken to
spare no expense in preparing the body
for shipment and relatives arrived here
last evening to take the body home.
