Six Patriotic Organizations
Will Meet Together. !
G. A. R. Commander Expects.
1000 People Will Be Present.
Augusta viii See Unprecedented
Flag Day Observance, June Ia.

Il estimate that between 1900 and
1000 people will be present i'll Augusta
next week at the G.. A. r, encamp-
ment," said Commander John w. Web
ster of Portland. the head of the de-
partment of Maine Ct. A. r., in dis
cussing with reporter the matter of
attendance at the coming meeting of
six patriotic bodies in the Capital city.
..0f course one can not tell exactly
what the number will be for this is
the first time that all of these organ
izations have held their meetings at
the same time and place, but it is safe
tc say that the attendance will be
much larger than at any other G. a.
Z. encampment.'
The fact that June IA is flag day has
caused the Grand Army and the other
patriotic organizations to plan for an
unprecedented observance of the day
in Augusta. The comrades of the
Grand Army attending the department
encampment at Augusta have been re-
questcd to wear miniature flag or
flag bow upon the lapels of their
coats. and the veterans are exhorting
the citizens of Augusta to fling the
stars and Stripes to the breeze on that
day.

Three cornered Contest.

A contest for the head of the depart
ment of Maine g. A. r. is being
watched with interest. The leading
figures in this three-cornered contest
are Hon. Edwin Riley of Augusta, for
merry of Livermore Falls. Col. c. S.
Crowell of Lewiston and n. w. Ken
dali of Biddeford. Col. Crowell has
had the advantage of two previous
campaigns and is picked by some as
the proba BILE winner but the friends
of Mr.. Riley will make strong fight
in his behalf. Edwin ]. Roberts of
Ninaihaven has announced his can
didaey for Senior Vice Commander.
At least two candidates have been
mentioned for the position of presi-
dent sof the Maine department of the
National Relief Corps. Several car
ddates have been mentioned for the
department president of the Ladies of
the G. A. r.. but Mrs. Wallace r. Tar
box of Fryeburg is said to be the most
likely to land the position.
Aside from the Grand Army prob
ably the most interest will attach to
the convention of the Sons of Neter-
ans of this State as that organization
has given considerable attention to a
proposition to withdraw from the Ma
tional body some of the camps feel
ing that they were not getting all they
paid for and that the affairs of the
organization have not been wisely ad-
ministered, The Maine camps held a
convention several months ago at
Brunswick for the purpose of deciding
whether the camps were to continue
as a part of the National organization.
Quite strong feeling had been MANI
tested previous to that for secession
from the National body but the counsel

Chicago, May 27.-The identity of a
young man apparently about thirty
years old whose body was found near
the plumbing station in the Chicago
river is still unsolved A few clues in
Guiding a bloodstained glove found
near the plumbing station, a wire by
means of which his arms was bound to
his body, a small key and a laundry
mark are all that the police have to
work upon in attempting the solution
of the mystery. He was man appar-
emily OF refinement; his clothes were of
good material.
The most tangible clue of all was the
laundry mark. and upon this identlh-
cation much depends A reward has
been offered for the identification OF
the mark and it is hoped that the iden-
LITIGATION by the driver VINO had the
man or his route will quickly furnish
his name and address and develop the
fact of his disappearance. The crime
was one of the most brutal in recent

police annals. The marks on his body
show that he was choked and bruised
and that he was shot through the leg,
causing a fracture of the bone; that
he was bound with wire so that he
could not move or help himself in any
way before he was thrown into the
river. While it was thought that he
must have been a Chicago man, all ef-
forts to identify the man have been
made throughout the country
Aside from the fact of this story as
a murder mystery, there is a constant
ly recurring report that the labor
union of Chicago was in some way
mixed up with his death. We do not
care to publish the story from this
angle, because facts are not warranted
so far, but advise keeping close tab on
any Chicago wire reports covering TINS
case, should the developments OF the
next few days prove his identity ana
place the blame upon sluggers EN-
ployed in the labor troubles here.
