Three Officers VIII Study Foreign
Methods of Encouraging Dash

Washington, D. c., Sept. 1-Oficials
of the war department are planning
to make the cavalry soldier n perfect,
fearless, dashing rider-like his fore
fathers in the days of the Indian cam
paigns. With that end in view Cap
tains Conrad S. Babcock and Henry X.
Richmond and Lieutenant Adna r.
Chaffee, all of the cavalry. are about
to leave for a years course of instruc-
ton in equitatiOn in the French school
at Saumar.
Upon the return of the officers from
France they will be appointed instruc-
tors in the American mounted ser
vice schools.
BY this process the war department
expects to gain all the advantages OF
the well equipped foreign institutions
and thus develop the American
schools of equitation.
In order that there may be plenty Of
cavalry soldiers in the south for police
duty along the Mexican frontier in
times of emergency, the department
has decided to establish two squadrons
of mounted troops at Forts Hauchuca
and Apache. Arizona, instead OF one,
as at present The headquarters, band
and 10 troops Of the two squadrons
will be located at Fort Huachuca.
while the remaining two troops will
be stationed at Fort Apache. Three
railroads entering Mexico iutersect
at Douglas, Ariz., near Fort Huschuca
and the latter, consequently, is consid-
cred an ideal place to develop.

road The international officers of the

tiOnal presidents in San Francisco for
instructions as to calling strike.
Future action by the IL, 200 shop en-
plOyes of the, Illinois Central depends
entirely on the advices which are eX-
pected from the coast today.
ONLY THREE COURSES LEFT.
After the fiat refusal of President
Markham to treat further with the
men, only three possible courses OF
action remain for them. They are:
l. To call out the 5000 men on the
Illinois Central al once as a separate
organization or in connection with
general strike on all the Hartman
lines.
2. To make a technical concession
to President Markham by serving a
3G-day notice abrogating all existing
open negotiations
3. To recede completely from their
demand that the new Federation of
Shop Employees be recognized.
If called by the international presi-
dents. $4,000 men will walk out on the
Illinois Central lines.
Nearly 10000 would be thrown out
of work on the other Hartman lines
in the west
If the Northwestern employees join
the movement, nearly $4,000 skilled
mechanics will be out of work
Not only the shop craftsmen but the
freight handlers and many train crews
would be forced out of work for time
at least.
NINE CRAFTS HOLD CONFERENCE.

refusal of President Markham of the

ACTION FOLLOWS CHARGES
Women on Industrial Board Indig-
nant That Graft and Padded
Lists Are Charged.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-President Peter
Bartzen Of the county board and his
aids yesterday prepared to follow up
their charges hurled at the Illinois
Industrial Home for Girls by insti-
tuting an investigation in all of the
institutions of this character in Cook
county which receive money from the
county for the support of inmates.
That girls of tender years are con-
fined in dungeons at the La Grange
school was one of the reports cir
culated yesterday.
County Attorney Francis Wilson,
who has been directed by President
Bartzen to take charge OF the in
quiry, announced last night that he
would direct his attention to the Chi
cago Industrial Home for Girls at
Feehanville, the Glenwood Manual
Training School for Boys at Glen
wood and st. Mary's Training School
for Boys at Feehanville.
Mr.. Wilson said that no charges
had been preferred against these in
stitutions, but in view of the dis
closures at the Illinois Industrial
home at Park Ridge 1t was deemed
wise to look into these other schools
to ascertain whether the county was
warranted in paying money over to
them in the amounts already ad-
vanced.
INSTITUTION HEADS IN DEFENSE.
Meanwhile, officials and managers

under the charges of President Bart
zen and his investigators that pad
ded lists have been used in securing
money from the county, stoutly de-
Tended the institution and declared
that after a thorough investigation
it would be found that the charges
were baseIess and should not have
been made.
Coincident with these strong de-
fense statements, Miss Susanna Nc
Connell, city supervisor of the Park
Ridge home, appeared In the county
controllers office yesterday and pre-
sented her bill for the month of
August. The statement presented by
Miss Mcconnell, it was said, did not

however, asks the county to pay on
an enrolment of SO inmates. The
July bill carried the names of 103
inmates.
Requisition, however, is made for
one girl, Annie Davenport, who was
objected to in the July bill, and who,
the investigators claim, is not now in
the institution and has not been for
some time.
Women engaged in the industrial
school work are indignant over the
reflection upon their work in the re-
cent Bartzen charges. They hint at
retaliation as a result of what they
term false accusations.
I'm not going to JAIL is Bartzen's
answer. "If there is anyone going
to jail on this grating on the county
