LONDON, December 2.-Rear Admiral
Joseph b. Murdoch. commander Of the
third division Of the United States At
lantic fleet, and one hundred officers Of
the first and third divisions were the
guests at a luncheon given at Guild
Hall today by Sir Thomas V. Strong,
the lord mayor, and the corporation Of
the city of London. Many distinguished
Englishmen and Americans residing in
London were present to meet the
visitors, in whose honor reception was
held in the library prior to the entry
| to the banquet hall.
| Nearly one thousand persons sat down
| to the feast. The mayor had Admiral
Murdoch at his right and Ambassador
Reid at his left. British and American
flags were draped back Of the guests
table. The menu was such as for which
| the London corporation is famous.
Greeted as Friends and Allies.
! In proposing toast to the American
navy, Sir Thomas said that the present
was the first occasion when the Guild
| Hall. which had Witnessed the reception
of naval heroes like Nelson, Howe. Rod
ney, Collingwood and Drake, had been
permitted to welcome as friends and al
lies in the peaceful amenities of citizen
ship tho naval representatives of friends
ard cousins from the other side of the
Atlantic. I'VE in England he added,
| "cannot think of America as a .foseign
power. America is an integral part OF
the English-speaking family
Replying, Admiral Murdoch spoke OF
the American navy AS one of native
born American citizens instead Of one
of foreigners, as is sometimes enormously
supposed. He described 1t as an in
strument of peace Referring to the
many questions between the two coun-
tries that have been settled by arDitra-
ton, the speaker said that it was incoR-
ceivable that any question could arise
| impossible to such solution.
Under Twin Flags.
Mr.. Reid offered a toast to the mayor
and the corporation, whom he thanked
warmly for their hospitality. He said
| that every American officer realized what
such an entertainment In the historic
hall OF the first city of the world meant
and also realized what the stars and
stripes and the union jack together might
! mean, and never forget that they were
twin flags, representating one race.
At the reception all the officers were
presented to the Mayor and Lady Strong,
who were seated on a 1ais at one end
of the library. A guard of honor from
the Grenadier Guards, drawn up outside
Guild Hal. received the Americans with
military honors.

immigration Commission to
Close Its Doors Monday.
SIXTY EMPLOYEES DROPPED
Final Reports to Be Distributed
Among Members Of Congress.
OF FORTY VOLUMES
Wide Range Of Inquiry into All
Phases Of the immigration
Problem.

About sixty employees of the immigra-
ton commission are now hunting jobs
most industr1ously an incidental to the
closing OF the work of the commission
next Monday. The commission itself is
holding daily sessions--has been. I'm fact.
for two weeks or more--in order to COM
plete its work before il Is scheduled TO
expire.
According TO a paragraph I'm the urgent
deficiency bill adopted at the last session
OF Congress the work of the commission
must be entirely completed by next Mon
day and. what is of more Importance to
the members of the commission and its
employees, no moro money to pay salaries
Will be available after December.
Expires by Limitation.
After making an appropriation of sl2s-
600 to continue the work OF the commits
sion. the paragraph says that 1.-THE said
commission shall complete Its entire
work and make its final report ana the
commission shall. cease on the first Mon
day In December, 191O'
1t was only on the promise of the men,
bers OF the commission that the expenses
OF 1t would cease next Monday that the
appropriation of $125.OoO was granted Up
to the time the money was made available
been $6o1.902.67. With the additional
FUNDS granted the total expense of max
ing the inquiry into the kind and charac-
ter OF the food OF humanity that is pour
Ing into Uncle Sans domain year after
year was nearly $4,000
Criticism Of the Expense.
When these figures were made public
last winter criticisms of the expense were
made by democrats. And the promises az
the members Of the commission at that
time are regarded as precluding any pos
sibility OF any further appropriation at
this session. Therefore the employees Will
cease to be on Uncle Sans payroll after
Monday. There are about seventy I'm all.
About ten Of those are loaned by the cen
sus bureau and will probably be returned
to that Office next Monday.
''The rest Of them would like to know
what they are going to do" remarked one
Of them this morning.
IF you hear OF any vacant Jobs lot Us
know" he added.
The Anal report OF the commission
which must be ready for presentation To
Congress when II convenes Monday, will
make set Of forty volumes. 1t covers
every phase OF the immigration question,
studied both I'm tho countries from which
the immigrants come and I'm the sections
Of this country in which they are settling
or have settled in the largest numbers.

Census Results

Joseph Perrault, Jr., who is
taking the census OF Idaho, says
that it will save his office a lot
of unnecessary bother if inquisi-

figures show the census Of Boise
to be.
The director OF the census has
wired Washington to the effect
that absolute secrecy on the
part OF all census officials and
enumerators is required, and
that no official Information re-
gardiT g such matters may be

The postoffice department de-
sires that patrons OF rural deliv-
cry routes paint their boxes an !
posts to which they are attached
~ pure white color. This course,
ii pursued, will not only result
in. a benefit to the patron in
serving to protect his box and
post from damage by the wealth

country as L. 5. mail boxes, and
give them much nicer and
sightlier appearance than they
now possess. 1t is also desired
that patrons imprint their
names and box numbers in black
block letters ebout two inches

It. is also desired that road
officials paint upon the posts ol

Everybody along the Short
Line knows Al Lang, Of Parma.
A few years ago when Al was
foreman OF the O. 5. l.. paint
gang lie was sidetracked at
American Falls while his crew
was giving the bridge a new coat
of paint. One evening after sup
per he took his fishing tackle
ahd went down to the foot OF
the f0lls to catch a few trout.
He was landing q nice one oc-
casionally, and didn't notice
how the time was passing until
it began to grow quite dark.
He thought he would make just
one more cast and then go back
to the car. Accordingly, he
picked out u nice spot to drop
his fly, and made a long cast for
it. About the time his fly
should have struck water his
reel began to sing, but to his
astonishment the line went up,
instead OF across the stream and
pretty soon he had something
straight up in the air at the END
OF 1870 feet of line, and trying its
level best to go higher, and il
was 50 dark that lie couldn't see
the cause OF the trouble Now
every body that knows AL knows
that he doesn't really believs il
the banshee. but as that tackle
OF his was so anxious to get out
of that canyon lie conclude,
that it was no place for a Shorl
Line employe; besides, it didn't
look good to him down ther,
anyway, so he stuck his rod be
tween the rocks and wen
straight up the hill. leaving hi,
line hanging up in the air ant
Jerking like blazes. The mex
morning he,took u body guart
| along and went back to see wha
became of his tackle, and fount
| it still there, with bird fast +,
the hook, lie doesn't sa
whether or not he swore off Will
getting out Of the canyon til
night before, but admits tha
he doesn't want any more bir
fishing in his'n.

BURN DEAD YUMA's MONEY
Two Thousand Dollars Makes Funeral
Pyre by the Grave of Good
Indian.

Jos Escalate. a Yuma Indian, died few
days ago, and the members of his tribe, in
accord with an old custom, burned with
him all his belongings. including 5000 in
cash.
TT 10 one OF the religious beliefs Of the
Yumas, this burning Of all a mans pos
sessions when he dies" said Chief Super
visor q. p. Holcombe of the Indian bureau.
I'VE have made efforts to stop It, even
appealing to federal attorneys IN some
cases for assistance. Injunctions against
the practice have been sought, but with
what success 1 don't know. Certainly
something should be done to stop It or the
whole tribe will become paupers in time.
The destruction OF all a mans property at
his death Is too great an inheritance tax
for people to stand up under.
II don't know the origin OF the custom,
but the idea prevails that they believe the
dead can enjoy their belongings after
death. l have read somewhere:
What pleased him most in life may
still give pleasure in the grave

the description OF her grandfather's death
by Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins, an Indian
girl who wrote Life Among the Piutes.'
She says: Every thing he had was put into
the grave. with him. His body was put
into blankets when 1t was ready for burial,
and after he was buried six Of his horses
we're killed. Now, do not think that we do
these things because the dead use what
We destroy. 1t is simply the last respect
we pay the dead
But to return to the Yumas. Whatever
the reason for their destruction of prop
erty, cremation OF the dead is the chief of
their religious beliefs. Their whole life
centers around IT, until they live seemingly
only to be cremated. Old Chief Miguel
sent his sons to the best Indian schools
One Of them, now returned, is a writer in
Los Angeles. He refuses, have heard, to
live with his people Last winter he fell

The boy wrote Miguel not to worry, that
he had arranged in case of death to have
his body sent home for cremation. The old
mans fears entirely disappeared on receipt
of the letter

teen new blankets were bought and burned
on one funeral pyre."-Denver Times.
