SHANK RETIRES AS MAYOR.
Sends in Resignation When Impeachment
Is Threatened.

indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 29.-Rather
than face impeachment, Samuel Lewis
Shank yesterday resigned as mayor and
was automatically succeeded by Harry
r. Wallace, the city comptroller.
A committee of business men had pre-
pared proceedings to remove Shank in
case further labor trouble developed.
When the mayor was told by labor
leaders a strike of union teamsters was
imminent he sent his resignation to the
city clerk.
Shank is probably the most curious
figure ever mayor of the city. Two years
ago he fought the high cost of living
by selling produce below retail market
prices.

washington's Survey Marks.

The Fairfax stone stands as a perKla
nent monument. In addition, there are,
throughout that section of the country,
various other records of these Washing
ton surveys. For example, large white
oak which stands at the corner of
farm about one and e-half miles from

this Fairfax stone, which gives the name
to nearby station, Fairfax, ON the
western Maryland railroad. 1t has been
assumed that, in running this line, a
high peak northwest of Orange court
house was the starting point, and that
from here it was possible to see dis
tant peak in the North mountain range
over the top of the intervening Massa-
nutten mountain.
Washington, of course, used simple
compass, and his line could not be ex-
pected to check absolutely with that OBJ
tanned by the government surveyors
who have retraced his survey, using high
power transits and all the refined and
accurate methods which modern instru-
ments allow. Nevertheless, the line was
run SO carefully in the first place that
but little variation has been found in it..
Even without instruments 1t is possible
to distinguish the course of the line with
surprising distinctness. From the top of
Middle mountain in the Massanutten
range, the Shenandoah Rockingham, or
Fairfax, line can be readily followed by
means of the boundary fences dating
from earliest days, and by the blocks
left standing, which come up from eth
err county and stop at the line, like
squares in checkerboard. Then if one
turns to the southeast the same de-
markations are plain across the valley of
the south fork of the Shenandoah, cut
ting straight through the present Page
county, which is made of land formerly
in Shenandoah county, belonging to the
Fairfax grant, and partly from land for
merly in Rockingham. Thus, as far as
the eye can see in either direction, this
old line shows plainly.
The Washington compass, now to be
seen at the q. s. national museum in
the city named for its owner, is pre-
sumed to be the same one used in run
ming this line more than 100 years ago.

GARRISON FAVORs
REFORMS IN ARMY

Washington, Sept. 16.-'I don't be-
l1eve the army was ever in better con
dltion," said Secretary Garrison when
he returned to his desk at the war de-
partment today, after an absence Of
W months visiting all the important
military posts, outside of New England
n some of the stations in the middle
states.
IF we are going to attract the men
we want and raise the efficiency of the
army, we must have a shorter term
of enlistment. I am in favor of a three
year term with the privilege of dis
charge, into the reserves, as soon as
an enlisted man proves his efficiency.
l nave not decided hat the shortest
period of service with the colors should
be. That will depend entirely on the
individual. I am in favor of discharg-
ing men as soon as they earn discharge
and as a reward for their hard work"
Secretary Garrison said he had not
yet decided what period a discharged
soldier should serve in reserve. "And
to make the army more attractive to
the best class of men, said he, ct
favor vocational training for the army,
SO that in addition to the military
training and discipline which a man
would acquire through service, he
would leave with some trade when he
goes again into civil life. Wherever
L went, I found universal approval of
this plan"
Mr.. Garrison said he does not favor,
mol would his country tolerate. a large
standing army. He thinks that a shorter
enlistment, to be followed by a term in
the reserve, would go a long way in
building up the army, without in~creas-
ing it numerically. The secretary de-
clined to iscuss the plans for the con-
centration of the army in a few strate-
gic centers, rather than have it dis
ributed throughout 157 posts in lnim-
portant locations.
