EXPELLED,
they SAY

An unusual controversy has been
brought TO the attention OF the appellate
division OF the supreme court by the NJ
ing of a bill In equity by certain ex-
PEELED members OF the Machine Printers
union. The complainants are George J.
Moeler Charles H. Ash, James Lowe.
Eugene Carroll and William Kenyon OF
Jewett City, Conn, and John Smiley OF
Riverpoint. and the respondent is the Ma
chine Printers Beneficial association OF
the United States.
The association was organized in IsS2
and the complainants were for many
years members. They claim they were ex-
PEELED for failure to comply with an H.
legal regulation made by the union in
regard to supporting strike AT Lowell,
Mass, In March, 1908.
A resolution. II is claimed. was passed
by the union that unions in certain dis
tricts should pay Sl4 week 10 members
out OF work and that each member not
out Of work should pay an assessment
TO make up this sum. Complainants re-
sided in a district I'm which this rule was
enforced and on refusing to pay were ex-
pelled.
The refusal TO pay was on the grounds
that the asserment was illegal, and also
because they claimed no more than $40 a
week could be paid to members out OF
work. 1t is also charged I'm the bill that
the officials of the union were guilty OF
gross extravaganza I'm paying the ex-
penses OF delegates to Washington. the

LAST Days
BATTLE AT
BULL RUN

Corps Headquarters. Gainesville, Va,
was begun at midnight At that hour
the forces under Gen. Bell. the aggressor
I'm the movement against Washington,
were pushed forward toward the lines OF
defense. The tread OF the infantry as
they marched 10 orders delivered in
hushed tones I'm the dark. the shifting OF
the huge field guns and the click OF the
cavalry horses hoofs against the stony
roads all combined TO invest the historic
Bull Run battlefield with a spectre re-
turn Of the days OF so.
When the first glimmer OF day came
however. the spectre vanished and IN rs
place was all the hustle and hustle OF
modern warfare. The troops had rested
since in the afternoon; they had been
well fed. they were doing their last turn
at the war game. All this combined TO
increase the animation and excitement OF
the moment
Hostilities began early. A crack az the
blue uniforms was the first desire OF the
browns and the fight was taken up prac-
ticnlly where II had ended the night be-
fore on the Wellington pike near Page
land lane The brown force seemed more
inclined TO push the blue with greater
vigor The waiting game which had been
played by Gen. Whit with his blue force
was not so easy To maintain. Gen. Bell
was eager 10 locate the main defence line.
This line rested securely behind Bull
Run I'm the extreme eastsrn end OF the
war rome and II ~ is TO be assaulted the
rear guard Of blue will have TO be pushed
back with greater rapidity than was the
case yesterday.

MERGER
RUMOR
REVIVED

For some weeks past the business ana
Industrial circles of this city have been
stirred by vague rumor to the effect
that Nicholson File company was to
absorb the interests OF the American
Screw company. This report concerning
two OF the big corporations in New Eng
land gained ground steadily and the Inn
portant deal became the topic OF much
OF the conversation on the street.
The action OF the directors OF the File
company on Wednesday in doubling the
capitalization OF the concern. making ie
5000. .000 Immediately gave great strength
TO the rumor mentioned and there Is a
general sentiment afoat that the big
merger was imminent.
A News representative called this MORN
ing at the office OF the Nicholson File
company on Acorn street to learn the de-
gree OF truth concerned IN the rumors 50
insistently spread.
When asked as 10 the purposes that lay
behind the action OF the directors IN is-
suing the additional capital stock. Mr..
George Nicholson. the treasurer. would
make no Statement. referring the reporter
10 the president, MIR. Samuel NJ. Nichol-
son. To query as TO the truth OF the
reported absorption OF the Screw COM
pany Mr.. Nicholson laughed and said u
was the first time he had heard OF the
matter. but without denying the rrmor
referred the question 90 the president.
An interview with the head of the con-
Germ was sought by The News man. but
he was informed by the private secretary
OF Mr. Samuel Nicholson that that gen.
tleman was out OF town for n few days.

STOLEN
RIDE WAS
HIS LAST

New York. Sept s-while the passen-
gers were alighting from the Chicago
limited train. which had just arrived
at the Grand Central station today. the
lifeless body OF young man. with the
head crushed. was found lying on the
roof Of the mail car.
One arm was clasped around ventila-
tor and the body was held firmly on the
narrow roof. 1t is supposed that the
young fellow was stealing a ride and he
was struck by one OF the low bridges
along the line. A letter signed by Paul
Hanke OF this city recommending "A.
Jaconson," dentist, was the only clue
to the mans identity.

usual vocal ability. 1t is, however. more
harmonious composition than "Hail Column
bia." which lacks many Of the qualities to
please large numbers Of people. This deci-
sion Of the naval secretary serves to in
crease the chances that the tune now to be
played on shipboard will be popularity re-
garded as the national anthem. 1t would
be far more satisfactory, however, II Con-
gress were to pass a law definitely pro-
claiming the composition to be used on all
formal official occasions as the token of the
authority Of the United States government.
Then would the public be more generally
inclined to honor the music of the anthem
by rising and uncovering. During the war
with Spain this custom prevailed to such
an extent that hope was felt that perhaps
in this matter of the externals of patriotism
the American people would acquire last
ing habit. But as soon as the war was over
they lapsed into their former Indifference.
and now it is the rare exception to note
any sign on the part of an assemblage Of
people that the patriotic tunes are held in
higher esteem than ragtime or comic opera
music

war on a rather larger scale than that In
volved In q mere march of British force
to Lhasa, despite the present occupation OF
Russia in Manchuria and Korea. The lat
est dispatches from the expedition under
Col. Younghusband indicate that the fight
ing has already begun, with pronounced
British success. The Thibetans, 1t Is re-
ported, have shown themselves absolutely
ignorant of the power Of modern war ma
chimes, and have suffered heavily in conse-
quence of their attempt to stay the British
advance. The scene of the fighting Is Pc
culiarly shaped little tip Of Thibetan terri
tory extending down into Nepal about LEO
miles east of Mount Everest. Here lies the
Tang La pass, one of the chief trade routes
between India and Thibet. The altitude Of
the British camp is IL, 100 feet, and the
temperature has been very severe at times
during the winter. The news dispatches de-
scribe the freezing of the oil in the Maxim
guns and rifles, rendering them temporarily
useless. But the advent of spring permits
an early forward movement, and 1t is
doubtless in consequence of such an adj
vance that the Thibetans attacked the Brit
ish column.
1t Is reported that the first British OBJ
jective is Gyangtse, a trade center 40
miles inside the Thibetan frontier and
slightly greater distance southwest Of
Lhasa. The British have chosen the short
est and most direct route for the forbidden
city, and IL the preliminary fighting is any
indication of the future 1t is evident that
so far as Thibetan military opposition is
concerned Col. Younghusband will have no
serious difficulties in reaching his objective
What will happen when the British troops
encamp under the walls of the grand lama's
palace must remain for later disclosure. In
the absence of reliable guarantees of Thib-
etan neutrality as respects Russia and the
maintenance of the trade relations on a
modern basis. direct British protectorate
over the whole of Thibet is regarded by
some Englishmen as by no means improba-
BILE. This would mean the occupation of
one face Of the Indian glacis and perhaps
the establishment of new policy with re-
gard to the safeguarding of the whole In
dian frontier.

The Bennett Will Case.

1t is stated that Mr.. Bryan will appeal
the Bennett will case, and fight to the END.
He may feel that to be necessary. Having
embarked In the matter and been severely
criticised for his step, he may consider 1t
best to press 1t to the court of last resort.
1t may be another means improved by him
to show the country that he is no gutter.
He does not, however, appear to advantage
in the contest. That Mr.. Bennett believed
in him implicitly is reasonably certain. The
Connecticut man was only one of many
who at that time thought Mr.. Bryan one
of the wisest of mankind, and with the
money and such desire to employ 1t would
have done as he did. But Mr.. Bryan erred
in accepting such trust in such terms and
circumstances from a stranger. 1t invited
the suspicion of selfshness and called for
an explanation, and the explanation Mr..
Bryan has offered is far from happy.

Secretary Moody's decision that hereafter
only THE Star Spangled Banner is to be
played on board the ships of the navy at
morning and evening colors tends to fix that
tune more firmly as the national anthem.
There are today three compositions which
are generally regarded as belonging to this
class. America Hail Columbia and
"The Star Spangled Banner" Heretofore
the ships bands have played the two last
named. The army bands, as a rule, play
1.-The Star Spangled Banner at colors.
Hail Columbia is seldom considered by
the public in this connection. the consensus
of opinion apparently being that the ma
tional air is either America or ''The
Star Spangled Banner" And both of these
are imported tunes and one of them serves
as the national air of England and a num-
Der of German principaiities.
The Star Spangied Banner is an ex-
ceedingly difficult tune for the human voice,
covering q wide range which calls for I'M
