COLLECTOR LOEB CRITICISED.
Acting Secretary Of Treasury Rey.
nOIds Makes Sharp Ruling.

nOlds Makes Sharp Ruling.
Collector Loeb was mildly criticised by
the Treasury Department IN a letter re-
Barding an appeal from the decision OF
The board Of general appraisers at New
York on the classification Of draw-plates
and wortles. Mr. Loeb directed that an
appeal be taken from the decision OF
the board upon the advice of D. Frank
Lloyd. Deputy Assistant Attorney Cen
eral, without consulting the Treasury De-
Dartment.
In letter to Mr. Loeb Acting Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Reynolds said:
While the department is Of the opin-
ION that the boards decision should be
reviewed by the UPited States Circuit
Court and your actipn in this regard is
approved, It is essential that there shall
be uniformity of practice in the classlf-
cation Of imported MERCHANDISE at the
various ports. and to this end il is I'M
portant that appeals from the decisions
OF the board should appear in the weekly
Treasury decisions.
In view OF the foregoing, you are di-
rected to continue the practice which has
prevailed for a number OF years. and TO
take no appeals from decisions Of the
board unless specifically instructed by the
department.
Whenever, in your opinion, an appeal
Should be taken from a decision Of the
board. you are directed TO submit the
matter TO the department for appropriate
Instructions"

MOSBY'S MEN GATHER
Rough Riders of Civil War
Hold Reunion.

Col. William II. Chapman Is Elected
Camp Commander Mt the Reunion
Held ut Front ROynI-Capt. Sam
Chapman Was Orator of the Day
at the EXercises-New Officers.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Front Royal. Va. Aug. 2S.-The fir
teenth annual reunion Of the Forty-third
Virginia Battalion. better known in his
tory as "Mosby's Men," was held here
to-day under the auspices Of the War
ren Memorial Association. Last night on
the late trains the old veterans came in
by the score. and Immediately there was
a renewal of acquaintances and friend
ships made years ago through shoulder
to-shoulder fighting and privations.
At the Alton Inn Hotel parIors. where
the reception committee made it's head
quarters, the old warriors swapped stories
and "reminiscences. AS one of the women
played Dixie" an old veteran turned 10
newspaper reporter and said: Young
man, the Yankees often gave us -:
but they ran a little when they heard
Dixie
For many years these rough riders of
the civil war have held their annual re-
unions, and at the banquets lived again
in story the days when they rode and
fought night and day and were a terror
to the outposts and lines of communica-
ton Of the Union forces. Their duty Il
was to keep the Federal forces stirred up
in the rear. the most sensitive part OF
an army.

means the loss OF food, clothing. and
ammunition; in fact, all that made the
army effective. Ours was the most dam
gerous work-the most dangerous in the
army-for the trains were heavily guard
ed. and, Of course, we always fought in
the enemy's rear"
The address Of welcome was delivered
by Capt. II. II. Downing, and was re-
sponded 10 by Maj A. Z. Richards.

ELECTRICAL WORKERS MEET
international President Reed At
tends Session.
Delegates Believe that His Presence
Has Bearing on Recent suspen-
sion OF Local Unions.

Grand President J. j. Reed. Of the In
ternatonal Brotherhood Of Electrical
Workers, arrived last night In Washing
ton. He is here to attend the fourth
annual convention Of his organization for
tho district made up OF the District OF
Columbia. Delaware. Maryland. and
Pennsylvania, which went into session
yesterday morning at Costello's Hall.
At the morning session there was an
informal conference Of the delegates from
Wilkesbarre. Scranton, Harrisburg. Al
toona, Williamsport. Philadelphia. VIII
mingtOn. Del; Easton, Pa; Baltimore.
Cumberland, Nd; Washington, and other
cities. The session last night was de-
voted to reading the annual reports OF
the officers.
The presence Of President Reed, Of the
international body, may mean much or
little, but II was estimated last night
khat he is here 10 personally defend his
faction against the action of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor to put him and
his followers out Of standing in the labor
movement, as was attempted last Mon
day night, when the American Federation
Of Labor demanded that the Central La
Dor Union eliminate the Washington To-
Gals from membership.
It is probable the convention will be in
session for several days. and il is esti-
mated by some delegates that there will
be a warm fight if a proposition is made
10 desert the Reed faction and join the
McNulty side, the latter faction having
been officially recognized by the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor as the regular
organization. Several delegates were OF
opinion last night that matters as 10 the
dispute would be satisfactorily adjusted
by. certain concessions, which they would
not suggest
In view OF the fact that the Central La
Dor Union obeyed Nthe mandate Of the
American Federation Of Labor 10 suspend
the locals. many of the delegates believe
that the two Washington locals. Nos Is
and Jas. will vote to attach their alle-
glance 10 the McNulty branch and return
TO their old places in the Central body.
Briefly stated. the trouble between the
two factions started more than a year
ago, one side being led by Reed and the
other by McNulty. The trouble was taken
before the American Federation OF Labor
for adjustment. and referred to a COM
mittee before which there we're a number
Of hearings The report of the committee
favored the McNulty side. II is alleged
by both sides that Reed and AicNulty
signed an agreement TO settle Their trcu-

streets Of the town. and 10 commemorate

INDIANS DEFRAUDED or OIL
Trust Is Implicated in Government
Inquiry.
Combination for Price Agreement
Is Alleged

Indian Ofice officials believe thar In
dians and independent producers are be-
ing held Up by the Standard Oh Company
and another pipe line company, these two
being the only owners Of pipe lines tap
ping the Indian lands. The Gulf Com
pany. Il is said. is a producer Of oil, and
its pipes are used largely for its own
product
The officials at the Indian once have
conducted a comprehensive investigation
Of the oil situation in Oklahoma. and
have placed the information obtained IN
the hands Of Acting Secretary OF the In
terror Pierce. Mr.. Pierce yesterday de-
elined TO discuss a report that It was his
intention to lay the matter before the De-
partment OF Justice with view to the
prosecution OF the Standard and the Gulf
companies upon the allegation that the
two companies agreed on the price 10 be
paid for oil Ia the particular field reached
by them. and were therefore a combina-
ton in restraint OF trade and violating
the Sherman antitrust act
The statement has been made at the
Indian Office that there did not appear to
be any remedy 10 meet the situation ex-
cept through giving widespread publicity
TO the matter.
There has been considerable misin-
formation Disseminate concerning this
matter said one OF the officials at the
Indian office who took a prominent part
IN the gathering Of information which
has been laid before Acting Secretary
Pierce. our sole purpose is 20 protect
the Indian and see that he gets a just
and reasonable price for his proportion Of
the oil produced.
TO show the gross disparity in the
prices paid for crude oil in Oklahoma and
elsewhere. the following comparisons are
interesting and instructive. In PennsyI-
vania the same grade of OIL brings SIS
per barrel. In Texas. 20 cents; IN Cali
fornia. S6 cents, and in Oklahoma. s.
cents"
II Is understood that the Standard on
Company takes issue with the Indian Of
fee as 10 the grade Of of produced IN
Oklahoma. holding that the crude oil pro-
duced there is an ordinary fuel oil
whereas the oils from other fields on
which prices are quoted are Illuminating
oils. from which can be produced valu-
able distiliates, such as gasoline. naphtha,
and kerosene.
