DEATH OF MAJOR
CHARLESE E. MOORE
Occurred In Chicago Last Night-Vet-
eran Was Eighty-Five
s3 Years Old.

Major Charles E. Moore. father of
Mrs. A. L. Morrison, Jr, died last night
at the home of his daughter Mrs. Char
les H. Lew, in Chicago. The Major
was born in Dublin, Ireland, about IS
years ago and came to Chicago at an
early age, where he lived nearly 60
years. He was connected with the
first fire company in those early days
and took great pride in it and in all
the struggles of the old-timers. When
the war broke out, himself and large
number Of patriotic. Irishmen, under
the gallant Colonel James e. Mulligan,
who was killed at Winchester, Virgin
Ia, organized the Twepty-fourth Regi-
ment Of Illinois Volunteer Infantry,
which was known as the Irish Bri-
gade."
In that heroic regiment the Major
made distinguished record of which
his children may well be proud For
some time he had been in feeble
health, and his daughter, Mrs. Nor
irison, Jr., left here for Chicago ten
days ago and was present when the
Lord took her dear father to himself.
The Major must be among the last Of
the pioneers who saw Chicago a strug-
Cling town and he lived long enough
to see 1t one Of the greatest cities of
the world. May his soul rest In peace
with God. s;Ss

send a large force up the Lao River
to Tie Pass by boats, while small de-

Admiral Goodrich giving the exact ma
ture of the repairs necessary to th'
Russian transport Lena, as disclosed
by the board which the admiral ap
pointed yesterday The report had no
arrived, but brief dispatch had come
from the admiral dealing with minol
details of the affair. AS the message
was not clear, the department has tel
egraphed for an explanation of its con
tents.
Now Being Inspected.
San francisco, Calf, Sept 15.-The
board of inspection appointed by Rear
Admiral Goodrich is today continuing
the examination of the boilers and ma.
chinery of the Russian ship Lena,
which begun yesterday. It is expected
that a final report will be made today
and forwarded to Washington.
Ship to Be Disarmed.
Washington, D.. c., Sept. 15.-Cap-
tain Berlinsky, commander Of the Rus
sian transport Lena, at San Francisco,
has informed Rear Admiral Goodrich
that he desires to dismantle his ship
and has asked to what extent this dis
mantlement should be made. Admiral
Goodrich has called on the navy de-
partment for instructions on this point
and details are now being worked out
between the navy and state depart
ments. The state department is in tel
egraphic communication with Count
Cassini, Russian Ambassador, on this
point and a statement is made that the
incident will be closed in a short time.
1t is expected that the Lena will be dis
mantled at the navy yards at Mare Is
land.
Crew viii Probably Remain.
4 Washington, D. G., Sept. ,15.-It is
announced at the navy department that
in case of the disarmament of the
transport Lena, all guns will be remov-
ed, but what disposition will be made
of the officers and crew is not decided.
1t is precedent for such crew to re-
main in port where the ship is disman-
tied until the end of the war.
Toxic Is Interested.
Toxic, Sept. 15.-The presence Of
the Russian warship Lena in San Fran
cisco harbor is exciting keen interest
here, although the motive for the trip
is not understood One theory ad-
vanced is that Russia is seeking to
test the attitude of America upon legal
questions involved. Another is that
the Lena, while scouting, called at
Korsakoff, found the wreck Of the
cruiser Novik and learning Of the scat
tering Of the Port Arthur fleet and the
defeat of the Vladivostock squadron,
took the Novik's crew aboard and fled
to San Francisco.
