will be considered as voting the en-
tire membership Of the camp in favor
or opposed to the change in rates. s
The bill passed on Wednesday was
compromise measure and it took the
place of a bill which provided that no
organization of fraternal ~order L.
eensed to do business under the state
of Illinois should raise its rates before
1915. LEGAL members of the order
declare that they are satisfied to sub
INIT the guetsion to the referendum
vote. They insist, however. that it
will be difficult to set a full express
sion of the will of the members of the
order under the camp vote system and
lit is possible that a demand will be
made that a ballot be sent to every
,policvholder with the understanding
that the majority vote of policvhold-
ers shall control the future of the
organization, Under such g, rule it is
thought very probable that the pro-
posed raise in rates would be turned
down.
Kenosha county seems to be divid-
ed on the proposition the Woodmen
in the city being favorable to the new
rates while it is claimed that ma
jority of the members in the smaller
villages are not in favor of them
The outcome of the referendum will
be watched with great deal of in
terest in Kenosha as the organization
las more than 600 active members in
the city and more than 100 members
lin the county.

TO FORCE WOOD OUT.
Bin Agreed Upon Which Retires Him
From Head of Army.

Washington, May 25.-A bill which
Iegislates General Leonard WOOD OUT
of the high office of chief OF stan ana
the virtual contro- of the army OF the
limited States has been agreed upon
by the senate aid house con1erees:
Into this bill was written by the hand
of Chairman Hay, the Chairman OF the
house military committee, PROVISION
that no officer shall hold the office OF
chief of staff unle@s he has served not
less than ten years With troops prior
to his appointment as brigadler gem
eral.
1t is noteworthy that Chairman Hay
is the intimate friend of General Fred
C. Ainsworth. who was deposed from
the office of military secretary ana
forced into retirement by General
The ostensible theory upon which
Hay acted was that the chief OF stan
who has control of all the movements
of the army in time of war should
know something of the practical oper-
alton of large bodies of troops.
This theory was accepted by the
senate. It was commented, however
that Wood who was very busy get
ting Ainsworth for the last three or,
four years of the latters service has at
last been got himself. Wood will be
shorn of his present power on the attn
of March when the bill goes into effect.
There will be no place to send him
save to the command of one of the
departments where he will remain, in
all -proba bility, until his retirement
When the bill reached the senate the
provision depriyinG Wood of his office
was stricken from it, In conference
the house men, led by Hay, insisted on
it's restoration and would not bulge
an inch till it was put back.
Having won out in a number of
their contentionG on other points the
senate conferees finally yielded and
accepted the provision.
Generals Crosie1 and Funston are
also debsrred by the measure from
occupying the highest position in the
army as neither served ten years with
the troops before becoming brigadier
generals.

HALF YEAR IN LIBERIA
Professor Starr Will Wear a Frock
Coat and Silk Hat.

Chicago, May 25.-Professor Fred
erick Starr, anthropologist of the Uni
versity of Chicago, announced to bis
students last night that he would
spend the coming six months in Lii
IBERIA, as special commissioner of the
San Diego anthropological exposition
sof 1915. One of the duties will be to
arrange for a Liberian exhibit.
One thing that startled the students
more than these announceme ntS was
Professor STAIRS assertion that he
would wear a frock coat and silk hat
while travelling in Liberia. Both will
be new corners to the professors
wardrobe as he has never worn either.
BY way of explanation students
were told that his decision to dress in
this way came from the Liberian pas
sion for the spectacular in wearing APP
parel.
Il shouldn't think of going to Lii
IBERIA without a frock coat. The Ii
berians are Sticklers for correctness, -
said Professor Starr.

square Bottles for Anxbodx.

New York, May 25.-The highest
state courts here decided after pro-
tracted litigation that a square bottle
is SO practical and of such general
convenience for packing and handling
that no single company has the right
to enjoin any other company from
using it. The owners of a mineral
water company sought to enjoin rivals
from using square shaped bottle
which the plaintiffs declared they had
invented and used since 1905.
