enabling them to get through, an expedi-
ent he held to be permissible. He said

He Writes Letter to Aid Those
Who Are Working for Drier
Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-President Roose-
welt will not permit his picture to adorn
the walls Of saloons and dives.
Rev William F.. Bartlett, pastor of
the First Congregational church, was
responsible for their removal. He ia
the foe of all saloons. He is the leader
OF the band that is attempting to secure
Sunday closing. He saw one Of the
pictures of the president in low West
Madison street saloon. He spent the
afternoon searching the West Madison
street saloons for pictures of President
Roosevelt and counted seven.
That night he wrote a letter to the
president setting forth the facts. After
three days he conducted another in.
vestigation. When he entered the first
saloon he smiled. The picture had dis
appeared. It was the same at the Sec
ond, at the third and until he reached
the last.
The president is to become an issue
in the campaign being waged for the
closing OF the saloons in Chicago on
Sunday. A letter in which he ex-
coriates those public officials who fail
to enforce the laws, whatever thev

laws are not executed, will be the cam.

been compelled to live apart.
By odd chance, but in accordance
with its fling number the case fell
before Judge Bourquin, but it will be

Judge Bourquin is wealthy and his

BELL TO BE MAJ. GEN.
Funston Also in Line for the Same
Rank.

Journal Special Service.
Washington, Dec. 29.-There will be
a number of changes in the army dur
ing the next few months, the most i'm
portant Of which will be the promotion
of Bri gadier General Bell to tn crank
Of major general.
General Bell is the chief of staff,
now assigned to Cuba, but he will be
relieved Of this command Jan. l by
General Whit. General Bells promo
ton will take place upon the retirement
OF Major General Jesse NJ. Lee next
Wednesday: Major General Wade, the
senior in his grade and the second Off
Ger in rank in the army will be re-
tired April II. This vacancy will in all
probability be filed by the promotion
Of Brigadier General William S. Nc
Caskey, now in command of the depart
ment Of Texas. General McCaskey
will retire Oct. 2 next. Brigadier Gen.
eral Frederick Funston, or Brigadier
General Wint will be promoted after
the retirement Of General McCaskey
next October. Owing to the fact that
General Whit has had more active serv-
ice and. retires in 1909, twenty years
before General Funston goes on the re-
tired list, it is probable he will be pro-
NOTED and upon his retirement General
Funston will be given a major gen
eralship.
