CANNOT ENDURE THE PIANO
Chinese Servant Olives Notice Who's
Employers Daughter Gets Old
Enough to Practice.

The fascination OF an untrammeled
life in New York had lured other Chi
nese servants away from western fam
lilies who had migrated with their ret
inue to New York. but John OF the
bankers family had remained faithful
through two years OF metropolitan
temptations.
AT last he gave notice and refused
to tell why Finally the manager of
an employment agency offered a solu-
ton OF Johns detection.
1T is because your little girl has
got big enough to practice on the
piano." he said. John can't stand
that.
"A Chinaman hates a piano. It
takes a good deal to upset Chinese
nerves. but a plano is capable OF com
pleting the Job most effectually. Here
tofore there has been but little piano
playing In your house; now that there
is prospect of several hours of prac-
tice every day John clears out.
I'VE have that trouble with many
Chinese servants. There are plenty
OF western families In New York who
would like Chinese help. but as soon
as an otherwise willing servant learns
that there Is plano in the house he
declines the job"

Some Time in Explaining
Project.

Washington, D.. c., July 26.-
The thousands of veterans of the
civil war in Iowa who have applied
for increases of pensions under the
new law will be granted them with
in comparatively short time. The
pension Office has advised members
of the delegation that it has begun
disposing of the applications for in
creases made May IS. The law went
into effect May IL. The papers of
most of the Iowa applicants for in
creases went in May 20 and 81.
Members of the delegation are in
formed that such applications will
be reached within sixty days. AL
ready some of the first applications
for increases put in by Iowans have
been granted.
The Eighth district alone has
about thousand applications for in
creases of pensions under the new
law. A rough estimate for the state
is that about 10000 applications
for increases have been made from
Iowa.
Representative Kennedy spoke in
the house yesterday afternoon in
reference to the Keokuk dam. He
described the project in answer to
statements made by Representative
Rainey who, as Mr.. Kennedy alleg-
ed, did not give the facts correctly.
The discussion came up over a dam
project in Arkansas. Mr.. Kennedy
figured 1t out the government was
well repaid for the concession of
the right to construct the Keokuk
dam. He pointed out that a lock
and dry dock built by the company
at a cost of at least $2,000,000, was
to be turned over to the govern
ment: moreover, in the way of wat
er power and improvements the gov
eminent would be saved $4,000, 900
more.
He figured the government got
from the company for the charter
about $4,000,000. He emphasized
the fact that the company had had
no trouble with the people in the
region of the improvement and that
all claims had been adjusted. He
said the project would be ready for
operation at the opening Of naviga-
ton next year and that the result
of establishing this power project
would be to save annually half as
much coal as Iowa produced in a
year.

Blue ARNY'S
ACTS TO Be
INVESTIGATED
Ugly Charges Made Aginst Men
Stationed at Camp
Douglas.
SAY DISCIPLINE IS LAX.
Declared Saloons Were Filled Five
Hours Before Soldiers
Took Field.

Chicago, July 27.-Moved by
charges that United States regular
troops and various state troops en-
camped at Camp Douglas, Wiscon-
son, for army maneuvers had insult
ed and attacked women and had in
dulged in drunken orgy, officials
of the war department in Chicago
yesterday ordered an investigation
at Camp Douglas and other Wiscon-
sin points where the soldiers have
been modified.
Gen. Ramey D. Potts, commander
of the central division, embracing
the regular sarmy troops in nineteen
states, telegraphed Maj. Carl R.
Reichmann, chief umpire in charge
of the maneuvers, to inquire into
the charges and the extent to which
the regular troops were involved. In
vestigation is also said to be plan
ned to ascertain the conduct of Wis
consin and Illinois militiamen, who,
with regular troops from Fort Leav-
enworth, Kan, and Fort Sheridan
formed the blue army" against
which the charges were made.
The red army" forming the hos
tile side Of the battle plan, was if
teen miles away and is said not to
have been involved.
The charges, as made to General
Potts and which prompted an inves-
,tigation, are:
That almost one-third' of the 5000
soldiers composing the "blue army
were drunk few hours before the
campaign was to begin.
That although the men were sup
posed to be on "war footing" when
they took the field at a. m. on
July Is, all the saloons in the town
of Camp Douglas were crowded with
soldiers until a. m. the same morn
ing.
That the officers failed to keep
the soldiers in the camp.
That women were insulted in the
camp and the town.
That a 20-year-old girl was at
tackled by dozen soldiers. and al
though she reached the railroad sta
tion at o'clock in the morning cry
ing for help, no one was arrested
and no investigation was made.
That many fights occurred among
the soldiers.
That slurring remarks were made
to women who came from surround
ing towns both with and without es-
cort.
Major Mcdonald, who was in
command at the cavalry squadron,
denied, on his return to Fort sheri-
dan yesterday, that he had heard OF
any trouble at the camp.
