AT OYSTER BAY TODAY
Ohm TEMPLE GRAVES THE FIRST
VISITOR OF THE SEASON.

OYSTER BAY, N. T., June 15-John
Temple Graves. the Georgia editor and ora
tor, has the distinction of being the first
visitor to Sycamore Hill since the Presi-
dent took up his summer residence there.
Mr.. Graves. by appointment, reached Oys-
ter Bay this morning and went at once to
Sycamore Hill, where he was in confer
ence with the President for nearly two
hours. While the visit was designated as
a purely personal one, 1t is understood
that many things political in Georgia were
touched upon.
Il am a democrat said Mr-~Graves at
the station, but I am also an ardent ad-
mirer of President Roosevelt, and, as was
in this neck of woods, attending the Orange
centennial. the President has done me the
honor to invite me to call upon him..
When Mr.. Graves returned from Saga
more Hill he said ne had thanked the Pres
fdent for his part in making Georgia day
a success at jamestown, and especially for
his speech on that occasion, which set forth
the industries and advantages of the south.
Mr.. Graves departed for the south.
Three submarine boats, accompanied by
a tender, slipped into-0yster Bay harbor
about dark last night, presumably to escape
the heavy weather on the sound. They re-
manned during the night and left the bay
at dawn without communicating with
shore.

NO AID FOR CHILLY PATRIOTS.
Pension Office Says Things About
Stay-at-Homes.

Following widespread criticism of the re-
cent ruling of the Department of the Interior
relative to the dropping Of some scores of
pensioners who had been carried on the
rolls for years, statement has Just been
issued from the department in explanation
of the matter. All men who served for
ninety days in the war and were honora bly,
discharged, it is declared, are entitled to
pensions under the law Only those who
failed or refused to serve their country at
least ninety days in the time of it's great
est need are the ones affected by the ruling
as not being entitled to pensions.
1t is not necessary, 1t is explained that
the soldier served in the same organization
the ninety days, but that the sum total of
his service, If he mad more than one en-
requirements of the law but the service
must have been in the civil war.
The pensioners who were cut off in great
est number by the ruling belonged to the
Mechanics Fusiliers," regimen of sew
eral hundred men drawn from the states of
Illinois, Ohio and Wisconsin.
AS to this class of men, the statement
characterizes them as follows: 4
while their country was sorely in need
of and begged for more soldiers until the
lastfdays of the war, they steadily refused
to the aid of the boys at the front andethey
now ask the government they refused to aid
In it's time of need to support them the re-
mainder of their lives. and it is held by
the department that they are not pensiona-
bile by their records, and it would seem that
the holding Of the department is just and
correct"

RAINBOW FLAG FLUNG FREE.
Bureau American Republics Flies
Gaudy Banner

In celebrating what is regarded as a new
era in the life of the international bureau
of American hepublics, incident to the
opening of proposals for a pan-Amercan
temple, there was displayed on the bureau
building at the corner of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and Jackson place today, for the first
time the newly adopted banner or burgee
of the pan-American bureau. 1t Is quite
a striking object and attracted general at
tention on the avenue today. 1t is made Of
bunting, eighteen feet long and eight feet
across the base. 1t represents the twenty
one countries associated in the bureau and
contains all the colors in the different flags
of the twenty-one countries. Running

became a principal examiner. Mr. Woolard
was selected by the Commissioner as one
having thorough understanding of the
office and capable of assisting in bringing
about some very much-needed reforms in
organization, although the acceptance in
VOWED the present sacrifice of a more con-
genial position. TIL following is letter ad-
dressed by Commissioner Moore to the new
chief clerk:
wish to thank you very much for your
consent to my request to fill for the time
being the position of chief clerk and to as
slst me in the reorganization of this bureau,
50 far as 1t may be needed, with your ad-
vice and support. L more especially appre-
cate this act on your part as l am aware
that 1t imposes upon you the sacrifice for
some time of a position which is more to
your taste and experience than the one
you are about to enter upon. 1t has al
ways been accepted as a fact that the posi-
ton of principal examiner is more desira BILE
IN every way than that of chief clerk and
the chief clerkship has been regarded in
the past as a stepping stone to principal
eXaminership. but l assure you with much
gratitude that when you desire to return
to the position of principal examiner l will
most certainly see that your wishes are
carried out.

TRANSFERS TO STRIKE
FINAL PREPARATIONS BEGUN AT
CHICAGO FOR ACTION.

CHICAGO, June 15.-Final preparations
were begun today for the strike of the
packing house teamsters. Secretary George
F. Golden Issued the order for the walkout
to begin at midnight unless developments
OF today warrant the cancellation of the
order, and this was not expected.
The teamsters have receded from their de-
mand Of an increase of cents an hour,
and have expressed themselves as willing
to take an increase of IL cents, but this
the packers have refused. The packers
have offered an increase to certain team
sters, but not a general raise to all mem
bers of the union. This is unsatisfactory
to the men, and it is believed by both the
teamters and the packers that a strike is
now inevitable
The city authorities have announced that
disorder such as occurred in the last strike
u the packing house teamsters and in the
general strike of teamsters in 1905 will
under no circumstances be permitted

DIR. WILEY's BEEN A-MILKING.
And His Next Report Will Tell All
About the Lacteal.

The Department OF Agriculture will be
ready In about a fortnight to issue the re-
port of DR.. Wiley, it's chief chemist, on
the analysis OF milk in the District of Co
lumbia. The report is based on analyses
made Of. about 500 samples, and it is be-
lieved that one result will be a fight for
drastic reform legislation at the next ses-
sion Of Congress. The improved milk reg
ulations, if passed, will affect all milk in
interstate transit. No definite information
has been given out as to just what the re-
port will contain, but the understanding
is that the sanitary conditions governing
the keeping and handling of milk, the care
of dairies and cows and similar practices
were shown by the recent Investigations Of
the department to be -very unsatisfactory
and to need thorough remodeing.

OLYMPIC THEATER BURNED
WAS OLDEST VAUDEVILLE
HOUSE IN WINDY CITY.
Guests in the Union Hotel, Which Adj
joins the Theater, Terror-Stricken- :
No One Was Injured.

CHICAGO, June 15.-The Olympic The
alter, the oldest vaudeville house In Chicago,
was practically destroyed by fire at mid
night last night. The loss will exceed
$3.50. 600
!. The fire caused terror among the guests
in the Union Hotel, which adjoins the the
ater on the east. All we're advised to pack
their trunks and vacate.
Crossed electric wires between the first
and second galleries are supposed to have
caused the fire. The flames made rapid
Roadway at first and gave the firemen a
hard struggle threatening for time to
spread to the Union Hotel and the Ashland
block. Chief Koran, while directing his
men at the Clark street entrance, was felled
to the floor by a shower of debris and but
for the helmet that was crushed down on
his face probably would have been killed.
Several of his men were hurt.
Steel Curtain Did Not Drop.
While the fremen were fighting the blaze
from the galleries huge embers were falling
into the pit, causing blaze that at once
filled the interior of the theater. The steel
curtain, which was placed in the playhouse
shortly after the Iroquois fire, instead of
being dropped, was held aloft. 1t Is said
one of the commanding marshals refused
to order the curtain dropped after he had
been warned of the danger by Abe Jacobs,
stage manager of the theater.
Scarcely had the last of the firemen left
the structure at the Clark street entrance
than the roof of the four-story building
collapsed, bullying out the north end wall
The fire was not under control until long
after midnight.
The theater building is owned by the Ash

been conducted almost exclusively since it's

been recently under the management Of
