people of any cline or any age ever I'M
derwent our experience: no country since
the dawn of creation ever met and solved

1t is utterly impossible in the short time
allotted me on this occasion TO go into
detail and trace the history of this re-
public from the time when the standard
of liberty was planted on these shores.

DON'T DODGE DEBTS
Retail Merchants Pass Resolution to
This Effect Following State
ment of Official,

Resolutions declaring that the statements
attributed to an officer of the association
regarding the alleged dead beat" meth
DDS Of large percentage" OF govern
ment employees by no means reflected the
sentiment of the organization were passed
yesterday at a special meeting of the
board of directors of the Retail Mer-
chants Association.
The resolution states that the state
ments alleged 10 have been made by the
president OF the association were unaH-
thoriZed and not sanctioned by the asp
citation or any committee thereof.
The resolution adopted at the meeting
yesterday is as follows:
Whereas a certain article appeared
in an afternoon newspaper published in
the District of Columbia, on May IS. 1913.
which said article purports to contain an
interview with the president Of said ass D
citation.
And as the article speaks in words
condemnatory OF and pertaining to the
government employees in the District OF
Columbia, and which article was neither
authorized nor sanctioned by the asso-
citation nor by any committee thereof.
Therefore, be it resolved, That it is
the sense of the board of governors of
the Retail Merchants Association, that
the statement alleged to have been made
by the said executive officer. by no means
reflects the sentiment of the association,
and the said association does accordingly
fully and absolutely disclaim the views
therein expressed of and pertaining to the
said government employees.
And be it further resolved. That it is
the sense of the said Retail Merchants
Association that the personnel Of the gov
eminent employees is OF a very high char
acter, and that the said government en-
ployes as a class in no manner whatso-
ever attempt to disregard the payment
OF their honest debts, and the discharge
Of their honest obligations"

Congratulations on your victory in be-
ing eSonerated By the Senate Committee
Investigating your department in not
properly handling the crowds on Pennsyl
vania Avenue during the suffragist pa
rade, March g. The verdict was nothing
more than I expected, as from personal
observation knew that neither you or
your men were responsible. for the same
experience in my handling of great crowds
has shown that unless sufficient time is
given to clear the streets of pedestrians,
as well as street cars, that II is impossible
to clear the streets when the crowds get
within the ropes" s

War Leaves Memories.

Representative Sinnott said:
THE Spanish-American war, with all
the burdens and responsibilities IL i'm
posed upon US was not without its rich
recompense, even though it left many
vacant chair. 1t swept from the West
ern Hemisphere the last remnant of Old
World tyranny. and oppression. II gave
us the superb story of Dewey in Manila
Bay; it gave us the thrilling tale of
Schley at Santiago. Only last week a
nationwide and successful protest
against her proposed dissertation recalled
the historic cruise Of the Oregon. It gave
US the proud memories of San Juan Hill
and Malabon, but above all the richest
and most glorious heritage of this war

The police officials, much
chagrined, left the room. Police

Webb asked Hoyne what
would happen to him if he con-

hanging would not happen. The
confession followed.

THEY WE'RE GREAT

Count Won Bernstorf, Ger
many's ambassador to the United
States, made a very happy point
in his Lincoln day speech, in STAT
ing that over $4,000 Germans
enlisted in the Union armies IN
der Lincoln to fight the rebels.
This was so. Those Germans
we're among the very best fight
ers "Old Abe" had, too, and those
who did not fall afterward made
the very best of citizens our coun-
try had.
1t wasn't necessary for Count
Won Bernstorff to state that
these 187, 900 Germans were eth
er rebels from Germany or sons
of such. For freedoms sake they
had left their homes in the father
land and for freedoms sake they
fought, the first time they had
chance, in this country.

of the slain woman, for the $1,000
reward he had offered for the con
viction of the murderers. Kauf-
man refused to pay it on the
ground that the three men had
confessed, and therefore had not
been convicted by Burke The
suit is still pending.
Mrs. Matilda Moran today
gave the police information that
leads the police to believe a pool
room at Thirty-hrst street and
Cottage Grove avenue to have
been the headquarters both of the
kaufman nlurderers and the later
auto bandits.
THAT place is the most awful
den of crime in Chicago" said the
mother, who has so vainly plead
ed for the release of her son.
"Trilby Thompson used to
come there; and Webb, and be-
fore them the boys who murdered
Mrs. kaufman a year ago
Lawyers today were saying
that Webb could not be convicted
on his confession because 1t had
been made under a promise of
olemency from Hoyne, which is
against the law. Hoyne laughed
at this.
That's all bunk" he said. I'll
take care of this case"
The confession of Webb came
shortly after his alibi that he was
in St. Louis had been broken by
