Major Harold s. Megrew of Indianapolis
late commander-in-chief of the Spanish
War Veterans, who is now chairman of the
national committee on legislation, was in
Department Commander ]. Walter Mitchell
concerning several matters that are pend
ing before Congress. One of the principal
purposes of Major Megrews visit was to
further bill he has prepared providing for
the formation of the United Spanish War
Veterans into a second army reserve corps
Wis provided that in case of war the Or
ganization of veterans of 1898, being train
ed and seasoned soldiers, would become
the regular army ready for the fray and
the National Guard of the states and the
District of Columbia, as the first reserves
and the Spanish War Veterans the sec
Ond reserves, Major Megrew says the
United States would have formidable
military force at the outset of any hostili-
ties that may occur in the future.
Major Megrew is also interested in the
project of forming rifle clubs in the ap-
proXimately 800 camps of Spanish War
Veterans in this country and its colonies,
and he consulted with members of Con-
gress and officials of the War Department
rifles, with which to make the members of
the organization expert marksmen or sharp
shooters, it is his belief that the wars
of the future will be won largely by the in
dividual craftsmanship of the contending
armies.

HAVE HAPPY TINE.
Employees Of W. B. Moses q SINS OBJ.
serve Annual Custom.

The employees Of w. B. Moses & Sons have
relief organization, the membership being
confined to their own ranks, and, in con-
formity with its annual custom, a smoker
and entertainment was given at st. Jo-
seph's Hall, 5th and H streets northwest,
last evening, which was attended by a very
large company Of members and their In
vited friends. 1t was the fifth function un-
der the society's auspices. The musical and
literary features were of high order. Mr.
Benjamin H. Streeks, the president of the
association, acted as the master of cere-
monies.
There are about 200 members of the asso-
citation, which was organized in 1893. Its
aims are both Tor aiding it's members in
sickness and death and promoting good fell
lowship. The three members of the firm
are members, and are on the arbitration
board. The officers of the association are:
Benjamin H. Streeks, president; w. D.
Campbell, first vice president; Julian Mar
ceron, second vice president; Leroy Sheriff,
financial secretary; Oden B. Gray, treas
urer; George A. Bradley, recording secre-
tary. These officers. with J. Albert Mar
ceron, William H. Rice, Francis Taylor, P.
L. Zimmerman and John P. Rick, jr., con-
stitute the executive board.
Some estimate of the efficiency which
marks the membership is in a measure indi-
Gated by the fact that the president of the
association, Mr.. Streeks, is holding his
third term of Office, and Mr. Oden B. Gray,
the treasurer, has been a trusted employe
of the Moses firm for forty-two years.
The program presented was as follows ::
Mandolin and guitar duet, A. G. Berghausen
and N. Sissonni; Greater Washington Quar-
tet, s. Skinner, J. A. Trunnell, E. L. Hutch
inson, A. W. Lyles, accompanist, Mr.. Rick

1t Is a noteworthy fact that the associa-
ton provided much of the talent which en-
tertained the company. Particular mention
is made of Master Grimes piano solos. He is
the pride of the big establishment, having
started to work there when very young.
During the rendition of the program an

when the cimpany sat about long tables and
