GEN. MAC ARTHUR COMES
RETURNS AFTER FORTY YEARS TO
RESIDE IN MILWAUKEE.
Meets Old Friends and Acquaintance
Discusses His Long Ca
reer.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 21.-
After forty years of absence Lieut.
Gen. Arthur Macarthur, head of the
United States army, has returned to Mil
waukee, where his boyhoou was passed
and will make his home here for the re-
mainder of his days. Gen. and Mrs. Mac
Arthur arrived Monday night and took
apartments at the Hotel Pfister, where
they will remain until satisfactory res
idence can be found.
To callers Gen. Macarthur expressed
much satisfaction at the prospect of liv-
ing again in Milwaukee. He came to this
city in 1910 and was one of that famous
group of boys who lived neighbOrs on the
east side-the group which gave. to the
country lieutenant-general, brlgadler-
general, a rear admiral. United States
judge, several lawyers of national repu-
tation and other distinguished citizens.
In 1862, at the breaking out of the war,
STRIPPING of II, he enlisted in the army,
and from that time on Milwaukee was
not his home, although he has made oc-
casional flying visits here.
In conversation with Gen. Charles
King, S. w. Tallmadge and other old
friends who called on HIM, Gen. Mac
Arthur exchanged "reminiscences OF the
old days, and with the newspapermen
who FASTENED to send their cards to his
apartments, he discussed his journeys
abroad his campaigns and the history
making in which he has been engaged.
Gen. Macarthur accompanied Gen.
Kuroki, the famous japanese command
err across the country, and believes that
the distinguished oriental guest will visit
Milwaukee on his return trip within the
next week.
Il think Gen. Kuroki is due in Chicago
on May g." said Gen. Macarthur, land
that would bring him to milwaukee, prob
ably the following day. His programme
includes visit to the military post at
Fort Leavenworth and perhaps one other
point He sails again from Seattle June
10. Therefore, his Milwaukee visit, if
made will necessarily be brief.
Gen. Macarthur interestingly described
the visit of Kuroki to the tombs of Wash
ington and Grant, and paid high trib-
ute to the japanese warrior.
The first few months of Gen. MacAr-
thurs residence in Milwaukee will be
devoted to compiling the reports of his
observations during the Russo-Japanese
war and in his subsequent journeys
abroad.

S200
Cor the current fiscal year Congress

Auditor TWeedale says, is charged with
the examination Of and review OF al

ard. as the correctness of all payments
made by the District are reviewed by

ton should be in proportion 10 the re-
spOnsibility. He is a man of wide ex-
perience, and has been in the District

ment from the Engineering Department

priation for elimination Of grade cross

sIty Of the permanent services of this

tioIal work imposed upon The Office by
the change in the method and system Of
