SYMPATHETIC STRIKES
Merger in Chicago of Teamsters and

President P. ]. Flannery of the Inter-

were told by President Flannery that the

OPENS A CONTROVERSY.
Proper Representation of 1905 in Ro-
man Characters.

When the savants of the two houses OF
Congress gather in the national capital this
fall they will find ready and waiting a
platter bearing a dainty morsei of their
own particular sort of controversial food.
The source of the trouble lies In the fact
that the marble corner stone of the House
of Representatives Office building has been
inscribed with the line "MDCCCCV,' to in
dicate the date 1905" A number of local
savants, one of whom recently went into
the subject at some length, claim that the
Inscription should read 'MCMV." and there
are even those who confess preference
for "1905' From what was learned today,
however, 1t appears that the latter date.

public library They make the further
claim that when the controversy arose in
connection with the corner stone of that
structure it was settled by reference TO
Harvard and Yale universities and the
French Institute. But it appears that not
withstanding the weight of the authority
given, the question Is still OPEN Elliott

to think so, and he Is not enthusiastically

1t is pointed out by those who consider 1t
proper to indicate the date 1906 by

is consistent, and that long 10 is in

self this way:
''If you write 10 by indicating 10 and then
deducting 1 from 10. and If you write 100 by
indicating 100 and then deducting 10 from
the next 100, why should you not write
1900 by indicating LEGO and then deducting
100 from the next 1,003?

Secretary Bonaparte and the surgeon gen.
eral of the navy are making personal in
vestigation of the epidemic of diphtheria
prevailing at the Annapolis Naval Acad-
emy. They have paid visits to the Acad-
emy and have gone over the premises.
The surgeon general was called into con-
ference to look over the sanitary condition
of the quarters occupied by the midship-
men. In this connection it is said that the
expensive building recently completed for
the midshipmen's use may have to be over

nections may be responsible for the out
