GIL MAN IS CHOSEN
GRAND ARMY HEAD
There Are Still $500 Veterans on
Pension List-Next Meeting >.
in Rochester.

Atlantic City, N. 1.-THE Grand
Army of the Republic at it's annual
encampment here elected it's three
highest officers and tentatively select
ed Rochester, N. Y. as the next place
for the annual meeting. John E. Gill
man, once a member of the Fighting
Twelfth" regiment of Massachusetts,
infantry, was elected commander-in-
chief for the coming year, to succeed
Samuel R. Van SAINT of Minnesota.
John McElroy of Washington, D.
c., who was Gilmore's opponent for
commander-in-chief, withdrew his
name, declaring he had become a can
didate on the solicitation of thousands
of Grand Army men, and that he had
tried to win the honor fairly. but, he
continued, he had become the target
of most persistent, rancorous calum-
MES, falsehoods and innuendoes." He
asked the encampment to in&stigate
the charges.
Despite his announced withdrawal
McElroy's friends insisted upon vot-
ing for him. The ballot resulted:
Gilman, 667; McElroy, 216.
Rochester was selected for the next
meeting place of the Grand Army OF
the Republic national encampment on
condition that satisfactory railroad
rates are secured. Otherwise the e
ecutive committee will choose a city
where the best rates can be had.
Commander-in-Chief Van SAINTS
address was an interesting feature OF
the session. Frequent applause pune
tuated the leaders remarks on the
subject of increasing the harmony be-
tween the Union and Confederate sol
diers. Van SAINT quoted figures show.
ing the G. A. r.. at the beginning OF
the present year, still had 213,901
members in good standing, as against
22O,6S2 at the beginning of 1903,
The total loss during the year, he re-
marked, was 6,781. In this number
were 1923 deaths.
From information at hand the pen
sion committee of the G. A. A. finds
there are about 562, 600 names of vet
Grams on the federal pension lists, and
that there are 65, 900 Civil war veter.
ans of the union army whoI draw nc
none from the government. Hence
the number of survivors of the north
ern forces totals $4,000.
The speaker called attention to the
generally increased observance Of
memorial day, praised highly the
work not only of the organization but
of its auxiliaries, such as the woman's
relief corps, ladies of the G. A. R..
sons of veterans and daughters of vet.
Grams, in this connection. The sons
of veterans, the commander-in-chie
said, should have every encourage
ment from the G. A. R. to become the
biggest patriotic body in the world.

CADETS "sILENcE" CAPTAIN.
Sent supperless to Bed for Indigni-
ties to Officer.

West Point, N. Y.-Severe meas
ures of discipline have fallen upon
the United States military cadets at
West Point for having dared twice to
mete out the silence" to Captain Ed
win Landon, an instructor who had
done something to incur the resent
ment of the youthful warriors.
The trouble started at mess when
Captain Landon entered. He got
'the silence" It is a most embar-
RAISING and uncomfortable expert
ence to undergo. His presence was
ignored.
Corrective measures were applied
instantly. There was no supper fol
the boys, who were sent up to their
rooms and locked in. And the hop
that was to have been held was can.
cclled by orders. That grieved the
girls. They and their chaperons had
come from New York, Albany.
Poughkeepsie, Newburg and Other
cities for the dance.
When the boys marched down from
their rooms to mess next day it may
be imagined how hungry they were.
But they were still ore in spirit.
Again did Captain Landon get the
silence." The youths were fed, but
they wers compelled to march five
times around the barracks and were
then sent to their rooms.

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Senator Briggs Wins.

Trenton. = United States Senator
Frank o. Briggs will be chosen to
succeed Franklin Murphy as chair
man of the Republican state commit
tee. This is accorded by party prac-
tice Of allowing the gubernatorial
nominee to choose his party leader.
Mr.. Lewis is believed to favor the Sc
lection of Senator Briggs. Senator
Briggs was chairman of the commit
tee which conducted the campaign Of
Governor Stokes, who was elected by
the largest plurality ever given to a
gubenatorial candidate in his state.
Senator Briggs used his influence to
accomplish the insertion Of the pro-
gressive planks advocated by Mr..
Lewis, while Mr.. Murphy, who is a
campaign manager Of recognized
ability, has not been in harmony
with Mr.. Lewis or the pr~ogressives.
He has also his own senatorial fences

Admits Guilt to Save Girl.

Mays Landing.-One of the young
men engaged at a beach-front pier at
Atlantic City as instructor fer young
women in the art of roller skating,
who gave his name as George r. Bar
ker, and said he hailed from Indiana,
was arraigned before Judge Higbee
on a charge of pawning two diamond
rings obtained from one of his many
pupils and sentenced to a year in
state prison. Barker became infatu-
ated last summer with a pretty girl
who was staying at a beach-front no
tel, who did not appear, Barker
pleading guilty to keep her name out
Of the case, as she is said to be prom
inent socially. She gave him two
diamond rings to keep for her, and
he pawned them for $50. Asked by
the court why he did it, he said he
earned about $35 a week on the rink,
but spent it all enjoying life.

HURcHEs AS cANNERIEs.
Women Used Free Gas and Lose the
Privilege.

Pittsburg.-"Free light and heat
for churches were all right, but we
don't propose to furnish free fuel to
can all the fruit in the Upper Ohio
valley, and we shut down right in the
middle of the canning season."
This remark was made by an official
of the Manufacturers Heat e Light
company of Pittsburg, when asked
why his company had cut off the free
gas from churches in Bellevue, Ben
Avon and other Pittsburg suburbs.
The gas company says that women of
the congregations were in the habit
of using the gas in the church base
ments for canning their fruits each
summer and fall, thereby saving
home gas bills and preventing clut-
tering up their own homes" as one
put it.

MOMENTOUS GATHERING
OF UNION RAILROAD MEN
Great Brotherhoods Cast Votes
For Increased Freight Rates.
APPEAL TO PRESIDENT TAFT
The Most Significant Council OF Rail-
road Employees Ever Held in This
Country Meets at New York
Decides to Memorabilia Congress.

New York.-The most significant
council of railroad employees ever held
in this country met at the Amsterdam
Opera house here. and instructed n
chiefs Of the four great organizations
of railroad workmen to go to Wash
ington and appeal to the government
of the United States for a square deal
to their employers; meaning In this
case liberty to raise freight rates.
The meeting was characterized by
the brotherhoods themselves as n
most momentous since the first spike
was driven into the first railroad for
these reasons: 1t was their first out
and out pronouncement that the in
terests of employees and employers are
identical and 1t was the first time n
powerful unions have ever united TO
back up the railroad companies by
going directly to the government. II
served notice that while the brother
hoods are not minded to be tags for
any political party they intend to
scrutinize the attitude of candidates
for office particularly for federal
ofice) as to how employers, as well
as employees, shall be treated by law
makers and law en%forcers.
Three thousand delegates repre-
sesnting the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen,
the order Of Railway Conductors and
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men sat for five hours and listened
to speeches from labor leaders.
The delegates came with authority
from $4,000 railroad workmen on
sixty-three railroads east of the Mis-
sissippi river, and they represented
100000 voters dependent for a live
lihood on the railroad companies.
After four hours conference they ad-
dressed a memorial to President Taft,
the interstate commerce commission
and all national and state lawmaking
bodies. The memorial contains reso-
lutions which support the proposal OF
the railroad companies that they be
permitted to make a reasonable in
crease in rates.

SULTAN OF SULU GETS
HIS WISH AT LAST
Hadji Mohammed Jumalu1 Hiram
Guest of His Captors-Brings
$780, 900 in Pearls.

New York.-His Highness Hadji
Mohammed Jumalul Hiram, sultan OF
Sulu, and maybe the highest living
type of good loser" realized his
dream of years when on board the
St. Louis of the American line and
with his retinue of fourteen persons
arrived at New York and took a close
range view of his captors.
The customs men were ordered by
the United States treasury to "expe-
dite" the Filipino potentate's lug
gage, which is reported to include
100000 in pearls.
The sultan used to get $4,000 a
year as salary, but when Uncle Sam
took him under the American Eagles
wing the salary was reduced to
$500, with an extra allowance for
board, lodging and firewood. The
sultan, it is said, is a Merry Old Soul,
like Old King Cole, and is scarcely
less fond of whist than was Kalakaua,
the king of the Sandwich islands,
who commonly was called King Cal
leo for short.
Hadji Mohammed Jumalul Hiram
is on his way around the world, see
ing the sights, and incidentally sell
ing pearls from his princely private
collection. After taking a brief whirl
about Little Old New York he will
go to Washington with Col. H. L.
Scott, U. S. A., and will shake hands
with President Taft.
The sultan is forty years old, five
feet five inches high, well groomed
and intelligent. He is married, but
has no children to be cheated of the
crown. He left Jolo on June IL, and
has spent the intervening time in see.

Fifty Pounds of Rattlers.

Newton.-Harry Trauger's annual
shipment of rattlesnakes, SO pounds
of them, got away from here safely.
The rattlers, safely boxed with a wire
netting nailed tight around, are des-
tined for the New York geological
garden. The snakes buzzing sound
ed like a distant sawmill all the time
the wire was being tackled on. The
character of the shipment was noised
around, and by the time the express
car came along half the town was
trying to get a peek at the box. I'VE
have had one fine season for %rattlers,"
said Trauger. II don't think I've

He Was Harsh in Discipline, Ac-
cording to the Cadets.
West Point.-Every cadet In the
four classes of the Military academy
continued under restraint because OF
what the officers of the academy con-
slider to have been the gross breach
of discipline that was exhibited when
the entire mess gave Capt. Rufus e.
Longan. instructor in tactics, the
"silence" at table. What amounts to
practical arrest hangs over every
cadet and will continue to be in force
until Major Gen. Barry, the superin-
tendent of the academy, returns from
Washington to mete out the special
punishments which in his opinion
may fit the general misdemeanor.
When General Barry returns he
will find that nearly every student IN
the academy will have passed exam
nation before the special board OF
inquiry, which purposed to remain IN
session until every one of the cadets
shall have appeared before it.
The board, comprising Lieut.. Col.
Walter A. Bethel, Major Writ Rob-
inson, Capt. Charles e. Summerall
and Capt. Alfred A. Maybach, sat IN
a little room and n by n the
cadets we're admitted through the
door. Each man that passed through
this constantly swinging door stood
alone before this group of his su-
periors and with raised hand put him
self under oath. Then the questions
were fired at him.
The cadets are exceedingly bitter
in their attitude toward Captain Lon
gan, and the opinion was expressed
among the officers that the war de-
partment will be compelled to take
official cognizance of the matter. 1t
is maintained that the trouble is anal
agous to that which took place at the
garrison in 1900, when Captain Lind
say, an instructor, was "silenced" by
the cadets, with the result that his
transfer by the department followed
as the only measure to establish
peace.
1t was asserted semi-oficially that
Captain Longan is charged by the
cadets with unjustifable accusations
and making up dement's when there
was no occasion for 1t.
