War Department Objects
To Official Undertaken

War Department officials were in
clined to object to press dispatches
from Gettysburg that the commission In
charge of preparations for the celebra-
ton there had appointed an official un-
dertaker to bury any veterans who
might die during the anniversary week
Its like inviting somebody to your
house for dinner, and then assuring
him In advance that you would give him
a good burial II he died Of indigestion .
said one of the department officials.
The War Department says. however,
that every precaution will be taken to
provide for the safety Of the visiting
vetreans at the celebration. The depart
ment realizes that even under the most
favorable conditions there will be vet
erans who will not be able to stand the
exertion. the excitement. and the ex.
posure while camping out again on the
battlefield on which they fought az
boys fifty 'esrs ago. The average age
of the veterans Is past seventy-twc
years. and many Of those who will be
present At Gettysburg are past eighty.

SECOND BOIL WEEVIL CONFER
ENcE HELD YESTERDAY
fBy Associated Press.l

Washington. Aug. 4.-The second
boil weevil conference between south
ern senators and representatives and
officials of the department of agrical-
ture was held today. The conference
was called at the request of Senator
Smith of South Carolina. His plan
for preventing the spread of the pest
by prohibiting the raising of cotton in
certain zone was the topic for dis
cussion. Five departments of field
agents have made a careful study of
the problem in the south, were pres
ent and expressed their views. Ofi-
cials of the department of agriculture
expressed the opinion that the best
plan is to continue to expand the
present methods of culture. The zone
specified by Senator Smith would in
clude two and a half million acres.
Experts figured that the loss of the
cotton crop if discantir ysl in this
territory would be one hundred and
eight million dollars. 1t was not esti-
mated how much would be the com
pens7tion from other crops that
might be raised on the land formerly
planted to cotton.
At the conclusion of the conference
it was announced that the unaniulc Us
opinion prevailed against Smiths
plan, as it was considered impractica-

REDUCTIONS IN EXPRESS RATES
EFFECTIVE ON OCTOBER is
lBy Associated Press }


Washington, Aug. 4.-Reductions in
express rates which will cost the
companies fully twenty-six million
dollars a year, were ordered by the
interstate commerce commission to-
day. to become effective October 18th.
Notable reforms in practices of the
company were also ordered. This rul-
ing will curtail the gross revenue of
the companies approximately sixteen
per cent. The most important change
prescribed is the modification of the
present graduated scale of parcel
rates. For fifty pounds or less all
rates are ordered lowered. For larg-
er shipments, however, most of the
rates are unchanged for short dis
tances, but are materially reduced for
long distances. The so-called block
system, by which the United States
is divided into nine hundred and fifty
blocks, and the analogous parcel post
zones, were ordered instituted. The
ruling of the commission also makes
sweeping general prescription,
which is intended as a foundation for
all rate rulings.
