West Point, N. Y. April General
Lord Kitchener Of Khartoum, who
landed on the Pacific coast on Thurs
day, will probably visit New York and
West Point before he sails for Eng

Kitchener has long desired an oppor-

event in west Point history.
It was Lord Kitchener who advised
the government Of Australia to estab-
lish there a military academy pattern
ed after West Point, and In pursuance
of this suggestion, Colonel Bridges or
the British army recently visited the
academy and spent a week studying
the organization and administration
here.

season despite orders of President
Lynch of the National league to the
contrary. Charles w. Murphy, presi-
dent of the Chicago Nationals re-
turned today from his week stay with
the team at Louisville and Indianapo-

issue an edict to the effect that he
would ignore the order of Lynch.

photographers should be kept from
the field" said Murphy, "as the only
ones to benefit by their presence are
the clubowners and the team itself.
Pictures of a game are half of the
National pastime, and as long as
control the West Side park and have
anything to say the photographers
will be as welcome as they were in
previous years.
President Johnson of the American
league is said to be opposed to the
rule laid down by Lynch regarding
photographers and that they would
not be kept from the A. L. diamonds

Here is another secret to the sue

When the business man, the patron of
the bank, is too busy to go to the bank
to transact business. the German

after that business.
