The national encampment Of the

Rochester, n. Y. and will last an en-

perhaps, the most enthusiastic yet

The war veterans OF the nation will
meet in their annual encampments

Spanish War Vets
The present commander-in-chief is
Joseph R. H. Jacoby, Of Seattle, who
was recently appointed United States
marshal for the western district OF
Washington.
The 1907 convention of the United
Spanish War Veterans voted to hold
the 1908 session at Oklahoma City. but
the camp at that place was unable 70
secure the necessary guarantees OF
railroad rates, and so the convention
went to Cedar Point, o., In that year.
Since that time Oklahoma City Camp
has renewed its applications for the
convention and at last years meetings
in Denver. Col, Il was voted to hold
the 1911 encampment in Oklahoma
City. There are now 725 camps in
the country and despite the fact that
Oklahoma City is rather out Of the
way, it is expected that a large ma
jority of the camps will be repre-
sented.
Oklahoma City Camp, No. s, will
be the host of tho veterans who will

combines the daring Of the red man

into which he came as an infant left
no alternative but the saddle and the

SETTING AROUND
} FULL CREW BILL
Outside Railroads Saving
Money and Men and Still
Obey Law

In order TO save every dollar pos
sible in complying with the Pennsyl-
vania full crew law, railroads are re-
sorting to various methods in hand
ling freight. The New York Central
and other railroads running through
pennsylvania but having terminals in
other States. are now placing men at
the State lines and carry a full crew
only in Pennsylvania. In this way
It is claimed they save many hours
on the pay rolls as the men doing the
extra work sometimes work with as
many as six and seven crews each day.
This method also decreases the num-
ber of additional men needed.
The Pennsy is unable to gain much
by following this rule as the shorter
ends of the various lines are all in
adjoining states, and very little would
be saved in having the men double
up.

EXTEND PASS PRIVILEGE.
PENNSYLVANIA Lines West VIII Give
Transportation TO Employees

lTduspOEbdtOn 10 EmplOytc
The vast army of employees of the
Pennsylvania lines west are to enjoy
the most extensive pass privileges in
the country. An order has been is
sued from the Office Of First Vice
President Wood providing important
changes in the system OF issuing free
transportation to employees. Lists Of
passes are now being made up and
will be distributed as soon as pos
sible.
Under the new order passes will be
Issued to employees regardless OF the
position they hold, thus placing the
entire organization on the same basis.
This step was the result of a desire
on the part of the officials to strength
en- the bond Of good will between the
employees and the company, and the
order is being received with elation.
Every employe who has been in the
service of the Pennsylvania for three
years will receive a division pass for
wife. For fifteen years continuous
service a pass for employe and wife
will be given either over the north
western system Of the lines west or
the southwestern system, according
TO which one the employe is attached.
For twenty years service a pass will
be granted over all Pennsylvania
lines west to employe and wife.

ADOPTING THE DECLARATION.

read to the people OH the Fourth after
having been approved by congress. but
it was not signed on that day The
facts are these:
On July Jefferson presented for
adoption the immorta, Declaration aft
er congress had adopted a resolution
presented by Richard Henry Lee of
Virginia, which had been placed before
the body on June Z. 17I6 This reso-
luton was as follows:
Resolved. That these united colonies are,
and nf right ought to be. free and in
dependent states: that they are absolved
from all allegiance to the British crown
and that all political connection between
them and the state of Great Britain is and
ought to be totally dissolved
This resolution was debated Tor near
" month and. owing to the absence
of Lee, who had been called home. the
defense of il fell on his colleague. JEFF
ferson. It needed defense, for in that
congress were able men who opposed
Its passage and revolution. Great
therefore. is Americas debt to .Jeffer-
son and Lee. On July 2 Lees reso-
luton was adopted and jefferson s
draft Of the Declara ton was adopted
on July t, 1716.

and Charles Thompson. its secretary,
Immediately signed the document and
became thus the first official traitors

made public TO the citizens By John
Nixon. who read it to the citizens of
Philadelphia in Independence square.
On July - it was ordered to he en-
crossed, and on this being done it was
ready for the signers. who appended
their names on Aug. 2.
Meanwhile there had been some
changes in the personnel of congress.
and many of those who had taken part
in the debate against lis adoption were
Displaced. some Of them at their own
request and others who had no connec-
ton with the historic discussion signed
the document.
