President Small ordered the constitution suspended bee cause that document provides that the Executive Board must approve all ex- pendItures before the money in the Na' tionaI Treasury can be touched.

New YorIk MaY striIke.

New York, Aug. 10--A strike of the 800 telegrapherS of lew York in sym pathy with the Chicago strike, is to be considered at 8 meeting called for tomorrow. President, Ahearn, of the local union, said early today:
 Tt is likely that New York will be involved in the strike. The union has done everything in it's power to prevent strike, but the company mas not act ed fairly. I think the strike will be- come general throughout the country"
 Oficials of the Western Union and Postal Companies who yesterday ex- pressed the belief that the strike In Chicago would prove to be local in its nature, said today that the situation was such that preparations were be- ing made to handle the business in case the men walked out. Minor off, cIals and clerks of both companies, who have not worked at the key for years. will be called on to man the wires while non-union men who re- main at work will be given opportu- mites of making double time. When a strike was threatened several weeks ago, the Western Union purchased scores of cots to take care of the strike breakers. in the main office of the company, if necessary.
 The company officials believe that they will effectually settle the strike, should it be called, within a shor. time. They say that the union does not con- trol over fifty per cent of the teIe- Kraphers here and that the union treas ury is empty. President Ahearn denied today th..t the local union was without funds, and said that the telegraphers could finance a long strike.

He was a consistent Christian, week
days as we'll as Sundays and lived the
part to the letter, and those who knew
him the best are the most certain that
there has never been an act in his life
but he thought that it was right For
% years he conducted modest. little
butcher shop at the corner of Twelfth
and Clay streets and numbered among
his patrons many of the epicureans of
the city though they had to pass many
more pretentious shops to trade with
him.
The shop was always scrupulouslJ'
neat and the little butcher went about
his work singing gospel hymns from
early morning until late at night, ex-
cepting each Thursday night of the
week. when the shop was closed while
the proprietor attended prayer meet
ing On the WALLIS of the, shop were
notices taken from the Bible: What
must I do to be saved?" THE Lord is
my life and salvation and other of
similar import.
His meats were known as the choicest
and best and substitution was not prac
ticed in this place. A patron calling
for a certain cut of meat was sure to
get it or none at all, with an explana-
ton. He set apart a certain hour each
day and visited the packing house
where he selected his meats and this in
a manner may explain why his cuts
were in such demand with his patrons.
He leaves a wife but no children. He
gave literally to all Christian charities
and for a man of his means was prob
ably one of the most liberal supporters
of the Y. M C. A. in which he was
particularly interested.

ROOSEVELT SAYS QUIT.
Orders Federal Employees to Stop
Booming Him for denomination.

Washington, Nov. %. = President
Roosevelt yesterday addressed a letter
to members of his cabinet, requesting
them to inform federal employees under
their jurisdiction to refrain from ac-
tivity with the object of the renomina-
ton of President Roosevelt. The text
of the letter has not been made public
but it's contents are substantially as
follows:
IT am informed that certain office
holders in your department holding
various positions throughout the coun-
try contemplate attending Republican
conventions in their respective states
and urging the Endorsement of myself
for the presidential nomination. I wish
that you would direct federal office
holders in your department who have
such a thing in view that I would re-
gard it as an act of improperly and
discourtesy."
