TRADE BOARD OUTLINES
CAMPAIGN FOR WINTER
Matters Affecting District and
Calling for Legislation to
Be Taken Up.

A plan Of campaign for the Board Of
Trade was outlined at a meeting of
the chairmen Of the standing commit
tees yesterday afternoon. 1t is plan
ned to determine upon a program Of
important matters affecting the Dis
trict which call for legislation, as early
as possible before Congress assemblies,
SO that the board may bring all it's
influence to bear upon the members of
Congress as soon as they reach this
city for the session which opens in
December.
The board will select only a few sub
jects at a time, and will work upon
those with Congress until it has been
successful In this way, it is thought,
the strength Of the organization will
be concentrated, and better results OBJ
tanned than If the board went to Con-
gress with wide range OF subjects
all at once.
To Consult Commissioners.
Acting President Arthur c. Moses
presided at the meeting. The chairmen
OF the committees were instructed to
take up with the District Commission
ers as soon as possible those matters
which have already the approval Of
the board. and which call for an ap-
preparation, so that the Commissioners
may include them in their estimates
for the District budget, which they are
now preparing.
A schedule Of committee meetings
will be arranged by the chairmen for
the entire season. There are about
thirty standing committees, and it is
expected that at least one committee
will meet each day during the winter
months.
A matter Of Importance which was
discussed at the meeting. and which
probably will have the earnest sup
port of the board this year, is the
connecting up Of Rock Creek and
Potomac parks, SO that they will form
one continuous park.

MILITARY POSTS MUST GO.
Among Those Condemned Are Forts
Russell and Logan.

Washington.-Fort Logan. Colorado.
and Fort. ID. A. Russell, Wyoming.
are under prescription by the War De-
rartment. and are doomed to abandon
ment If the plans announced by Secre-
tary Stimson are carried out. The Sec
rotary, acting upon an exhaustive. re-
port by the general staff, has decided
upon the concentration of the United
States army in eight posts, instead of
the forty-nine now in operation. By
this means, he believes that the eff
cheney of the army will be multiplied,
while at the same time the govern
ment will make a saving of s5,500,000
a year.
The posts condemned to immediate
abandonment are Apache, Arizona;
gan; Clark, Texas: George Wright,
Washington; Jay. New York: Lincoln.
North Dakota; Logan II. Roots, Ar
kansas; Mcintosh, Texas; Mackenzie,
Wyoming; Madison barracks, New
York; Meade, South Dakota; Niagara,
New York; Ontario, New York;
wayn,, MICHIGAN; Whipple barracks,
Arizona; William Henry Harrison,
Montana, and Yellowstone, Wyoming.
OF Fort Apache, it is said a possi-
bility of Indian trouble near the post
still exists, and that Fort Jay might
be retained as headquarters of the
Eastern division, and as the site of
the Eastern military prison.
There is another formidable list of
posts, which, while not recommended
for Immediate abandonment. are de,
clared not to be located with a view
of securing economy of administra-
ton and supply, or full measure of
military effectiveness. Consequently
their garrisons will not be increased
and ultimately will be Withdrawn to
such concentration centers as Con-
gress may authorize. These posts are
Ethan Allen, Vermont; Plattsburg
barracks, New York; Robinson, Ne
braska; Missoula, Montana; Il gan,
Colorado; Douglas, Utah, and D. A

Cairo, Ill. = Thirteen persons are
believed to have been drowned in the
Mississippi river two miles south OF
here, when rowboat in which they
were being brought to this city from
Birds Point became lost in an ice
jam.
The passengers were part of 1876
who left a noon Cotton Belt train at
Birds Point, Mo.
They were left without conveyance
across the river because the railroad
ferryman feared to risk his steamer
in the ice and heavy fog.
Three boatmen were hired to carry
the passengers to this side of the
river. Two of them took five passen-
gers each. Frank Jones, said to be an
experienced boatman. permitted
twelve to get into his boat.
The boatmen of the two lighter fer
ries were about fifty yards ahead of
Jones, when they heard shouts for
help, and, turning, saw Jones battling
frantically with a monster floe that
was sweeping his craft beyond con-
troll The heavy fog then hid the lost
party from view. and nothing has
since been heard of the ferryman or
his passengers.
Most of those in the lost boat are
thought to have been in a party that
boarded train at Lilburn, Mo-, but
their identity has not been estab-
lished.
Searching parties on both sides of
the river spent the afternoon and
early night patrolling the banks, but
at a late hour reported that their
searches had been fruitless.
