COUNCIL OF ADMINISTRATION
TO MEET next WEDNESDAY
will Arrange For Coming Session of
g. a. r., Department of Virginia
and North Carolina.


The council of administration of the
Grand Army of the Republic. denart.
meat OF Virginia and North Carolina.
has been called to meet in. the Nation
al Soldiers Home next Wednesday
afternoon.
At this. session the council will So.
lect a date and place of meeting for
the annual encampment of the depart.
ment.
Department Commander Charles Os-
good VIII preside and full attendance
OF me members Is expected.
IL IS likely that the, council will
take up many important matters, and
1t may be that the dissatisfaction
among the inmates of the National
soldiers Home will he discussed
Commander Osgood had expected to
start for Washington last night in
connection with his dismissal as
weighmaster at the Home. but the
iact mat the council of administration
Is TO meet SO soon caused the depart.
ment commander to delay his trim.
Mr.. Osgood said last night that he
VIII certainly go to Washington Wed
nesday night to visit Grand Command.
er James Tanner on Thursday.
MT. Osgood had lengthy confer.
ence with Colonel Thomas T. Knox,
governor at the home, yesterday af.
ternoon. The trouble between the
governor and Mr. Osgood was. dis.
cussed, but no satisfactory agreement
was reached. According to Mr.. Os.
good, there seems to be some question
rs to who recommended his dismissal
from the office of weighmaster. Thc
office is not a very remunerative ono
but Mf. Osgood feels that his dismiss
al was unjust. The mere fact that
contractors objected TO his services
seems strange reason for dismissal
to Mr.. Osgood.
Il thought was representing and
looking out for the interests of tho
home and not any contractor" said
the dismissed weighmaster in dis.
cnssing his side OF the question.
1t is understood that Colonel Knox
III issuing orders directing the removal
OF chairs from the barracks carried
out one of the regulations governing
the homes. A close admirer of Col,
onel Knox said yesterday that every
order issued SO far by the governor
has been based on the authority of
the rules and regulations laid down by
the board of managers.
Colonel Know refuses to be inter.
viewed.

Booker Represent Hampton and
.Phoebus Company.

The Hampton town council met In
special session last night and unani-
mously adopted the gas ordinance as
recommended by the joint report of
the ordinance and street committees.
With few exceptions the ordinance
is the same as outlined in these col.
umns a few weeks ago One of the
new features has to do with the pur-
chase. Of the plant at the expiration
of tairty years-the life of the fran
chise-should the council Of Hampton
desire 10 own it, and the other was a
clause fixing the maximum price to
ne charged for gas at $3.50 per
thousand
Business Men interested.
Mr.. James M. Cumming appeared
before the committee in behalf Of
himself, while the Hampton and
Fhoebus Company was represented by
Dr. Frank Shield and Mr.. Hunter r.
Booker.

the council to delay action on the
ordinance until next week, stating
that Mr.. j. II. Barham. who is the
head of his company, and Mr.. Samuel
Gordon Cumming, the attorney, were
prevented from attending the session
Of the council. Mr. Barham had
been expected to reach Hampton yes
Ierday morning, but was detained in
Philadelphia on account OF sickness.
Mr.. 5. G. Cumming is in Richmond.
AS there was no reason apparently
10 the members of the council to fur
taer delay the matter and as Mr. Cum.
ming did not insist upon his request
a resolution was offered and adopted
accepting the report as it came from
the two companies
