day night at IL p. m, the meanlngIul
hour OF the Elks. They were MRS.
Leyitsky and six little Levitskys, all
fine specimens OF sturdiness, ranging
from a few months to 10 years. They
came all the way from Cheetham,
England, and the official reception
committee-that's Mr.. Levitsky-was
so excited over the arrival OF this
b. p. o. z. delegation after eight
months OF separation (there were only
five OF the best little people on earth
when the father left them on the
other shore) that he went TO the
wrong station, and the travel-weary
group had to pass under the triumphal
arches and up the gloriously deco
rated streets unescorted In an express
wagon.
When they reached Clairmount, a
good four miles from the station, the
husband and father was absent and
unaccounted for. II was disappoint-
ing situation, so desperate indeed that
Bernard Levin. whose tailorshop Is

busy thinking of the B. p. o. Z. VINO

What made the safe conclusion OF
the long journey particularly happy
was the several days detention or
the family at the Philadelphia immi-
grant station. The Oldest child has
a slightly deformed hand and the In
snectors held the party until bond
could be sent on to satisfy them that
the child would not become public
charge. This was promptly furnished
nv the business neighbors OF the In
dustrious cobbler.
There was no $4,000 appropriation
for putting the welcome sign out IN
benurpled splendor, but the shoe
maker had spent many months In get
ting ready for his flock, and every
thing was In order, even down TO the
TOYS, He had reserved for himself
only n space in the front OF the shop
large enough for him to ply hammer
and pegs for the maintenance OF the
delegation: the rest has been parti'
toned and furnished for living space
for the reunited family. It's right
tight little fat for eight, but then the
family motto is, United and close to

The present reunion is notable for
the attendance of an unusual number
OF smallest Elks." With the oldest
Elk and the biggest Elk, they form a
unique combination, and 1t has been
suggested that they should constitute
division in the parade all by them
selves.
Conspicuous among the little men
is Leopold Kahn, of White Plains.
N. Y, who measures just 4 feet l
inch. He used to be little taller,
but he lost a half-inch at the Philadel-
phia convention, he says, so swift
was the pace set for him. Mr.. Kahn
is familiarity known among the
brethren as Admiral Dot" At Balti-
more, six years ago, he took the prize
for being the smallest Elk in the
parade, but since then he has been
obliged to forfeit the honor, for there
are several members now In the or
der who are considerably smaller than
he. Among them is Maj. Doyle, OF

preceding his election. He became
interested in Socialism after hearing
one OF City Clerk Thompson's lectures.
Chas. B. Whitnall, the author OF the
parkway system favored by Mi
waukee Socialists, is charter member
of the party. He Is called the Ruskin
of the Milwaukee branch because OF
his stand for the beautiful as that
which makes for the most good.

the senate judiciary committee OF al
legged Guggenheim control OF the
mines and utilities OF Alaska.
A bitter fight has been waged be-
tween the factions in the territorial
government for some time. Gov. Wal
ter Z. Clark has been accused or
playing in" with the Guggenheims
and documentary evidence, filed with
the senate judiciary committee, al
legged that the Morgan-Guggenheim
syndicate has tempered with federal
grand juries and bribed government
witnesses. Testimony before the Bal
linger committee indicated that the
syndicate owned all the feasible rail-
road inlets TO the country, had a prac-
tical monopoly Of the fisheries, con-
trolled by far the greater part OF the
steamship lines and owned most OF
the copper.
In addition to this an agent Of the
syndicate admitted on the stand that
the key to the situation was the coal
and stated that they held an option
on the 5000 acres in the Cunning
ham group Of claims.
The charges of graft" in Alaska
have seriously embarrassed the ad.
ministration. President Taft wants
"clean up" Some time this week or
next Wickersham and Nagel are ex-
pected at Beverly to talk over mat
tiers with the executive.
