Mrs. Bolles gave summary OF both
papers. Mrs. Lawson then called on
Mrs. Harriott Davenport. Mrs. Stella

Finally Disposed OF.
SCOTS VIEW ADOPTED

Superintendent of School Insists on
Drastic Punishment for First Class
men involved in the Interest of Dis
cipiine-Other Six Cadets Are Sus-
pended for a Year Without Pay or
Allowances.
Washington, Aug 24-Announce-
nent was made by Secretary of War
Wright that his recommendation for
the punishment of the eight West
Point cadets suspended from the mill
tsTy academy for hazing had been ap-
proved by President Roosevelt. The
order to be issued by Secretary
Wright, based upon the president S
approval, will dismiss from the acad-
emy the two first classmen under sus-
pension, William T. Rossell, Jr., son
OF Colonel William T. Rossell of the
engineer corps of the army, and Harry
G. Weaver of Illinois, and the suspen-
sion without pay and allowances for
one year of the six members of the
third class, George Washington Chase
of New York, James A. Gillespie of
Pennsylvania. Byron Quimby Jones of
New York, William Nalle of Virginia,
William Wellington Prude of Alabama
End Isaac Spealding of Oklahoma
In the conference held at Sycamore
Hill, participated in by the president,
Secretary Wright and Colonel Scott,
1t was suggested that all of the eight
cadets be suspended from the acad-
emy for one year without pay or al
iowances. That was regarded as ade-
quate punishment for the offenses
against the law and regulations COM
mitted by the cadets. Superintendent
Scott, however, insisted that the main
tenance of discipline at the academy
required even more drastic punish
ment than would be contained in an
order of suspension. He pointed out
that the two first classmen we're con-
fessedly the ringleaders In the hazing
and that, being older than the other
men and in a sense responsible for
the practices which had grown up at
the academy, they ought to be dealt
with more severely than the others.
He felt, In fact, that If drastic action
were not taken by the authorities in
this case his influence as superin-
weakened materially. With this view
the president and Secretary Wright
finally agreed.

Chicago, Aug. PA meeting of the

Chicago, Aug. 24.-William ]. Bryan
has arrived in Chicago to pay two
days visit to his political friends and
campaign manager. The presidential
nominee was greeted at the railroad
station by National Chairman Norman
e. Mack, Colonel M c. Wetmore, in
charge of the finances of the cam.

went up as he stepped down from the
platform of the sleeper and gras ped
the hands outstretched in welcome
Mr.. Bryan looked refreshed and jovial
clared that he felt fine. Greetings
having been exchanged all around the
party proceeded through the station,
where throngs of Democrats had gath
cred to catch glimpse of the Nebras-
kan. Their number had been aug.
mented by patrons of the incoming
suburban trains until the station was
packed to its utmost limit with an
enthusiastic, cheering crowd, through
which Mr.. Bryan and his escort passed
along lane marked out by policemen
detailed to guard the person of the
illustrious visitor, who bowed to right
and left in smiling acknowledgment
of the noisy tribute. Arriving at the
Auditorium Mr.. Bryan lost no time in
getting down to the business that
brought him to Chicago, but plunged
into series of conferences over
plans for the fight to be waged be-
tween now and Nov. 8. All the heads
of the various committees had been
summoned to Chicago by Chairman
Mack, as had also the members of the
executive committee and the advisory
council, and before Mr.. Bryan leaves

INDEPENDENT
PACKING PLANT
Farmers Establish Big Con-
Germ in Chicago.
WILL BE COOPERATIVE

Promoters Hope to Reduce the Cost
of Handling Live Stock by Owning
Their Own Yards and Equipment.
Claim to Have s$2,5oo,o 900 to Ex,
pend and Expect to Be in Full op-
Grafton by Oct Next.
Chicago, Aug. 24.-Farmers in the
West have banded together to erect
an Independent and cooperative stock
yards just beyond the city limits of
Chicago. officials of this corporation
announced that they would open the
yards in full blast by Oct. l.
The company was incorporated
some time ago under the name of the
Chicago Stock Yards and Transit COM
pany. The reason of the organization
of the concern lay in the fact that a
number of the farmers, many of whom
are large cattle raisers, believe that
the Union Stock Yards company over
charges them for yardage and feed
and that the 81 car assessed against
every carload of cattle brought into
the Union yards is exorbitant.
About twenty acres of land have
been secured at West Thirty-ninth
street and South Forty-eighth avenue
An immense packing house and a
chilling building are now in course OF
construction. Several acres of cattle
pens have been erected. Numerous
other buildings, including a big brick
fireproof hotel. a modern office build
ing, horse market and several more
packing houses are planned by the
promoters.
The men behind the venture claim
to have s2,50o,000 to expend on the
equipment of the plant. They expect
to have the packing houses and yards
in full operation by Oct. / and assert
that they will be able to handle 5000
cattle day in the killing plant.
The farmers assert that they are
being charged exorbitant prices for
feed at the Union yards. Hay, they
assert, costs them $25 ton and corn
81 bushel. The new company offers
to split the Union yards prices of
feed in two. They say that the yard
age charge is beyond reason. This
will be lowered considerably under the
cooperative plan.

Deadwood S. d., Aug. 20.-Accord-
ing to the statement of one of the
prominent coal men in this city, who
Is heavily interested in Wyoming
mines, there will be a great suspen-
sion of work in all Wyoming coal
mines shortly after Sept. 1. He said ::
1--WE have disagreement with the
union-the United Mine Workers of
America. This involves the Unio
Pacific the Sheridan, the Cambria,
the Diamondville, the Kommer and
many smaller companies-practica
all the mines in Wyoming. What we
expect is that the miners will go out
on strike. There will be no lockout.
That will make about twelve thousand
men idle and stop production that
averages 100000 to 100000 tons
