BROWN COMMANDER
EVANSVILLE, O., EDITOR HEADS
 THE c. A. R.
Arehbishop Ireland UnanimOusly Chosen Chaplain General-The Body VIII Take up Much-Debated
 Wirx Resolution T0day.

Minneapolis. Aug. 1e.-Commander- in-Chief. R. B. Brown, zanesvilie. Ohio Senior vice-Commander, Wm. HI Armstrong, Indianapolis; Junior Vice. Commander, E. B. Fenton. Detroit; Chaplain in Chief. Archbishop John Ireland, St. Paul; Surgeon General, w H. Johnson, Lincoln, Neb.
 The above officers were elected today at the annual meeting of theGrand Army of the Republic. All other officers are stan appointments and will be an- nounced later by the new Commander in-chief The strongest opponents of MT. Brown for the honor were c. G. Burton of Missouri, and Capt. P. H. Coney of Kansas.
 Both of these withdrew when it was seen that the election of Mir. Brown was a certainty Several candidates were nominated for Senior and Junior vice-Commanders, but finally all with drew in favor of Armstrong and Fem ton and both men were chosen unan- imously.
 Archbishop Ireland had no rival for the position of Chaplain -in- Chief. Af- ter the elections, the places of holding the next encampment was taken up and the New York delegation presented Saratoga An adjournment was taken before a vote was reached and other cities that desire the encampment will have an opportunity to present their claims tomorrow morning. The senti- ment is strong, however, in favor of Saratoga.
 It is expected that the debate on the Wirz proposition will also come up early in tomorrow's session. The pres ent probability is that some animated discussion will follow the introduction of any resolution on the matter. De- spite the fact that Commander in- Chic eff Tanner so strongly urged in his mes sage that 6 protest be made against the erection of a monument to the memory of Wirz, there is a pronounced feeling among the delegates that the matter is not of which the Grand Army at this time should take official mo- tice.
 The new Commander in- Chief of the Grand Army, R. B. Brown. was born in ls45 and has always lived in Ohio. He enlisted in the 18th Ohio Infantry at the age of 16 and served in the Fourteenth Army Corps in the Army of the Cumberland until he was mustered out in 1864. MT. Brown is now editor of The zanesvllle Courier.

When the roll call had been on for two and half hours and was about one-fourth completed, Mir.

 The convention went wild and yelled "Colquitt in 1910"
 Resuming the ballot the emancipated votes of the two candidates out of the race were distributed between Colonel Campbell and Judge Bell When the roll was almost finished and 1t was evil ydent that Campbell would have a large majority, Judge Bell appeared. with drew his name, and asked that the nomination of Colonel Campbell be made unanimous.
 The convention did so, whereupon the hand played @The Campbells are Com ing" the classic which Senator Bailey referred to in his speech on the opening day of the convention.
 Campbell appeared, escorted by MT. Colquitt, who presented him, merely saying, 'srh& Campbells have come.

CONTEMPT CASE.

Lee Yin and eight others, eopartners
doing business as the Sun Kwong AIau
Company, are cited by an order of
Judge De Bolt to appear on Wednes-
dav next at 9 a. m and show cause
why they should not be adjudged gull
tv of contempt of court. The cause OF
citation. as shown by affidavit of Benz.
l.. Marx, is that they have refused to
obey decree made by Judge Humph-
revs in suit they brought against The
Waikiki Land 81 Loan Association,
Ltd. and others, ordering that the
respondent, the corporation just men
toned, have Judgment against them for
it's statutory costs and an attorney s
fee. making in all the sum of 1919 80,
and further ordering that James Me

making in all the sum of 1891. Both
judgments would make total of
$1,000. The attorneys fees Were each
1915 and allowed as damages for the
issuance of temporary injunction.
1t was a suit, as viii be remembered,
to prevent the construction of the
track of the Honolulu Rapid Transit
& Land Co. across the McCully tract
to Waikiki road, that company having
been one of the respondents. At the
time it was an open secret that the
suit was brought in the interests of the
Hawaiian Tramways Co, Ltd, which
was then fighting the Rapid Transit
Co. upon rights of way.

JURY PANEL
IS GROWING
One-third of Challenges
Allowed Are Now
Exhausted.

Fair progress was made IN Judge
Robinson s court yesterday toward get
ting jury to try Frank Johnson for
the murder of the little boy, Simeon
Wharton. at Waialua. Out of the first
special venire of twenty-five names
but fourteen jurors were brought into
court and of these the court excused
four. This left but ten men to draw
from as vacancies occurred IN the box,
vet twelve men had been passed for
cause and three challenges exercised
before the noon recess yesterday. Be
fore D. M three more challenges had
been exercised and the last one ex-
hausted the panel. Judge Robinson
accordingly had second special venire
for twenty-five men issued, under
which the following names were
drawn. returnable at 10 O'Clock this
morning:
A. +. Lloyd, VIM Rowan, Robt. D.
Mattox, Henry NJ. Rogers, l.. Jameson,

Gonsalves, Fred, E. Steere, A. c. Dow
sett, VIM. Kahlbaum, Jno. Comes, Louis
Sweitzer, Arch. A. Dunn, Uaia Napo-
leon, Frank Mcintyre.
Thus far the prosecution has per-
emptorily challenged E. P. Chaplin and
Arch. S. Robertson, leaving it four
more challenges. The defense has
challenged JAS. S. Lemon, S. Lesser,
Walter C. Gilman and j. Ordenstein,
leaving it the privilege of excusing
without cause eight more jurors. 1t is
doubtful, however, if all of the chal-
lenges on either side will be exercised.
In same instances yesterday Mr.. Pros
ser's examination of jurors on behalf
of the Territory was so complete that
Mr.. Harrison for the defendant waiv-
ed the privilege of cross-examination.
All the isame, there were some keen
contests over challenges for cause.
An impression prevailed in the court
precincts at the close of the day that
today would see jury empaneled, and
perhaps in time to begin the calling
of evidence before the regular hour of
