MAYOR HOLDS UP
EMPLOYEES SALARIES

Colorado Springs. Sept. S.-As a
result of Mayor II. F. Avery's hold
ing up the August pay of several city
employees on the ground that they
had been advanced by their immed-
late superior, regardless of the civil
service rules, the men may be asked
to refund to the city excess amounts
which they are said to have received
on account of the July payroll. The
matter is being thrashed out by Com
missioner of Public Safety L. f. c.
Whitaker and the civil service com
mission, of which Dunbar Carpenter
is head. The latter has drafted
letter to Whitaker which is a prac-
tical Endorsement of Mayor Avery's
attitude.
The promotions in question were
not confirmed by the mayor and the
dispute hinges on this point. R. E.
johnson and w. S. Walton of the fire
department. whose wages were held
up by the mayors action, have re-
signed. Forest Gibson, another mem
her of the department, has left town,
and the department is seriously Grip
pied.

INDIAN CREMATION MUST STOP.

Some time ago the agent and other officers in
cnarge OF the Yuma reservation asked the braves
10 refrain from burning the houses of the dead.

deceased person belongs to the heirs by the Cali

their Dead, together with the possessions left by

cidentay, 1t may be noted that it is an excellent
opportunity to see celebrities. The president of

other prominent official, presents the diplomas to

always present in their bravest show of gold

The Military academy is probably unique

significance for the whole student body rather
than merely for the graduating class. At West

years OF book learning and practical training are

tenants OF Infantry, cavalry artillery. But for
the quota OF cadets left behind to finish their un.
completed courses of instruction this momentous
week in June likewise means the commencement
OF new. era change in the existing order of
things that is about as radical as could be imag-

This universal significance of the commence
ment season is due to the fact that the majority

Of President Franklin Pierce in 1852

status by her personal attention. All
the royal family regarded her with
favor and admiration.

MAKING IN THIS respect, however,
the significant week in June at the
great military institution on the Hudson is not so
very different from the corresponding eliminating
interval OF the academic year at other great seats

open-air evolutions, dress parades and sham bat
ties do supply an element of the spectacular not
to be found in like degree anywhere else, unless
perhaps it be at the United States Naval acad-
envy at Annapolis but in so far as the graduation
exercises proper are concerned and the attendant
farewell balls the program at the Point is not so
different from that carried out at other big edu-
cat1onal institutions at the close of the school

He was the guest, thereafter, Of
several prominent Englishmen, and
