Custom and Designates May 80
as Day to Be Observed.

Governor Winfield t. Durbin yesterday
issued proclamation designating Monday
May 80, as Memorial day. The proclama-

Usage has established and the law has
confirmed the commendable custom of an
nually dedicating day to the commemora-
ton of the service and sacrifice of our
soldier dead. and TO public recognition of
the enduring obligation of the American
people TO those whose valor established

but TO a reconSecratiOn OF our people to
the principles and purposes for which these
men contended on the battlefield: that
from these hOnOred dead we take increased
devotion 10 the cause for which they gave
the last full measure OF devotion, that
we may highly resolve that the dead shall

NOT HALF ENOUGH MONEY
TO BUY GOOD FURNITURE
Appropriation for New Federal
Building Declared to Be Utterly
Inadequate to Needs.


The sum of $4,000 will become available
on July l. to furnish the Indianapolis
public building Word received in this
city is to the effect that this is less than
half the amount officials of the supervis-
ing architects bureau believe should be
appropriated for the furnishing of a first
class building such as is now being con-
structed in Indianapolis. The meager APP
preparation carried in the sundry civil bill
is not the fault of the officials, the COM
mittee or the Indiana representatives.
Blame is placed by the department on the
cheese-paring economists who shout and
rave when public funds are appropriated
for federal buildings throughout the
United States
The Indianapolis building will cost more
than $2,00.000. Department officials assert
that at least 10 per cent. of the cost OF a
building should be expended in furnishing
and equipping it, but the government Will
have TO get along on less than half that
sum in furnishing the building IN this city.
With $4,000 IL Will not be possible for the
department To secure first-class furniture.
Most Of it will be of oak or ash, with
stained cherry in imitation of mahogany
IN some OF the rooms. Much OF this VIII
be contract furniture, whereas, in a build
ing of the style and class of that at In
dianapolis ii should be built, the official
says, in keeping with the magnifcence of
the structure. In addition TO this, it is
pointed out by the officials, much of the
furniture in the old building will be trans
ferred to the new. This, however, is in
accordance with law, and the department
has no other alternative
The appropriation of $4,000 covers the
fixtures of the building as we'll the fur
niture. Under the direction of the chief
clerk of the Treasury Department, meas
urements of the Indianapolis building will
soon be taken with a view to furnishing
il. The officials at Washington state that
the building will undoubtedly be opened
early in February.

An hour later DR.. Knowles discovered

in pursuit. with the information that a

CEMETERY ON ARMY POST
SITE PROMISES TROUBLE
Maps Sent to Quartermaster Gen
eral Are Examined, and Burial
Ground Displeases.
WORK TO BEGIN IN FALL

Still a stumbling block in planning the
buildings of the new army post. the ola
Union cemetery, which occupies several
acres of land on the post site, promises
to prove troublesome. Captain Cheatham,
after survey of the site. completed the
topograp hical maps some time ago and
mailed them TO the War Department last
week
Yesterday word from Quartermaster Gen
eral Humphreys. who has just received
the maps. SAYS that the cemetery will
cause a good deal of annoyance. In going
over the map, General Humphreys eX-
pressed considerable dissatisfaction when
he reached the point indicating the ceme-
terry tract. which, he says, will prove
formidable obstruction when the depart
ment takes up plans for the buildings.
Definite plans of the buildings of the post
have not yet been agreed upon, although
several are under consideration. The post.
however. will be one of the best equipped
in the United States.
Very little work will be done this year,
but it is expected that ground will be
broken early this fall. General Humph-
reys will announce shortly when he will
be able TO visit the site to make prelimi-
nary examination. He will be accompanied
by board of army officers

STATISTICS COMPILED
FOR JUVENILE COURT

Some interesting statistics are being pre-
pared by the officials of the Juvenile Court
showing the result of the work of that
court in the last year and of the effect upon
the youths who have come under its super
vision. OF the 627 cases that have come up
before it for action only 80 have been
brought before the court on a second charge
and only two youths have stood before
Judge Stubs and faced a charge for the
third time.
The compilation of these statistics was
ordered by Judge Stubs to satisfy him
self as 10 the work of the court in the
year just closed and TO substantiate the
claim that the court is no alonger an eX-
pertinent, but an absolute necessity.

SHORTRIDGE JUNIORS
DEPLORE SHORT FUNDS
GLASS; Annual Reception to Sen
iors May Be Prevented by Small
Size of Purse.

There is a possibility that the junior class
of Shortridge High School may be unable
10 give its reception TO the seniors this
year for lack of funds. The class got a
very poor start last fall and the proceeds
from the hop did not come up To the ex-
pectations. While the treasury is not
empty. IL is doubtful IL IL can stand the
strain OF the receptions expenses.
The juniors reception has always been
one OF the yearly events OF the school and
has been looked forward TO by the seniors
as the last social function of their school
disappointed II the reception Is not held.
