SEASON OF OPEN AIR
 CAMP COMES TO END

After having been in successful op- eration for a period of nearly three months, the open air camp establish ed in the early party of the summer at Pickett Springs by the Salvation army, has been closed.
 Numbers of poor and needy have been the recipients of the hospitality of the camp during that period and the realization of the vast benefits of the institution to certain classes of the citys population has come to prac- tically all who viewed the camp and investigated It's management. Cap tain odom, of the Salvation Army. who had charge of the camp. is well pleas- ed with the results.
 Because of the fact that the Casino at Pickett Springs will probably be used next year for the production of vaudeville shows, the future location of the camp has not yet been decid- ed. It Is possible that 1t will be To- cated next summer in Oak Park, as Captain Odom is thinking of petition ing the Mayor to allow that to be done. Other locations. which are be- ing considered. are at Electric Park and Cloverdale.

NO FURTHER RELIEF
THE c. A. R. GRANTS A RESPITE TO
 CONGRESS-.
Salt Lake City fs Chosen As The Next Place of Meetfng--Atlanta
 Asks For 1910 Meeting.

Toledo, O., Sept, 4--Not for three years will the Grand Army of the Re- public ask Congress for further relief measures.
 Resolutions looking to an amend rrient to the service pension bill. re- ducins to sixty-five years the age at which a veteran can receive s20 month, another amending the pending widows pension bill to make eligible all soldief'c widows who were married prior to the date of passage of the bill were laid over in favor of the resolu- ton granting Congress three years respite from old soldier legislation.
 It appeared to be the consensus of opinion of the leaders that too much hamn1ering for pension bills and re- lief measures might soon create a bad impression in the minds of Congress men and reflect discredit on the civil war veterans.
 Another way will be sought by the veterans to get before Congress those bits of unfinished legislation which they feel cannot wait. At the request Of General I. R. Sherwood, of Ohio, his dollar a day pension bill was not brought up for consideration and a resolution asking Congress to pay ex- prisoners of war s2 q day pension was laid over As the result of the C. A. R. encampments in the past endorsing one particular bill to be presented be- fore Congress, scarcely a year has passed but that Congress has not had before 1t for consideration at least one pension measure backed by the entire Grand Army. After the installation of the newly elected National officers at the morning session today the Grand Army of Republic delegates de. cided upon Salt Lake City as the next meeting place.
 After Salt Lake City was chosen for the next encampment. Vice Comrnan- der Chief Scott notified the encamp- ment, that Atlanta with more sky scrapers and better and more hotels outside of Seaside resorts would he in the field for 1910. He said that she could take care of the Grand Army. but his only fear was that she could not care for all the Johnnies who would come to greet them. This was greet ed with great applause. cheers and calls of we will go. We want to go"

YOUNG LEIGH HELD
MOBILE BOY WHO KILLED WILL
 ts LIAM sOssAMAN.
Youths Were Playing at Dwelling When Tragedy Was Enacted
 Funeral of the Unfortun-

Mobile Sept. 4.-tSpeciaD-Play as appears to be the action or number of boys. which playfuiness led to the killing of seventeen year old William owen Duffy sossaman last night. yet the boy who actuaIiy dld the shooting. Henry Leech. IS locked up at police headquarters ana will remain there until tomorrow morning.
 He is entered on the police docket under the charge of murder. It is not believed by the police that ne had any murderous intent. but tnis under the new code appears to pc inc only course open to the auth ori- ties. -------- ---..--
 There Is one phase of the shooting that is not quite clear to the police: From the best account obtainaole or the accidental shooting, there had been some discussion among the ooys regarding who owned and who dio not own a pistol. One of the boys IS said to have demonstrated the fact that he had one by exhibiting 1t, whereupon the Leech boy is said to have gone into the house and returned with one. which. after he had extract ed a cartridge therefron, he laid upon a table.
 This cartridge does not appear to be In evidence and 1t Is supposed that one or the DOy5 must HdNO pA0~cN it back in the gun. It was arranged among them that Leech and another boy were to fight duel, that is should play fighting. and that the Sossaman boy was to act as peacemaker. Just as the count was being given young Sossaman stepped in between the play acting duelists The pistol in the hands of Leech was discharged and the ''peacemaker" went to the ground with bullet hole through his right lung. the bullet itself lodging in the region of the heart. He died almost instantly.
 The dead boy was the son of Will Ham Sossaman. a cabinet maker in the employ of F. c. Turner & Go. The body was removed to the family home on Gayle, between Seneca and Easton streets. oakdale, after Coroner Hirsh- field had made an examination and given his permission for It's removal.
 The funeral took place this after noon from the residence. Interraent was at Magnolia Cemetery.
