RESERVES WILL
GO ON A CRUISE
Squadron to Make Journey on
Great Lakes During Month
of August.
WILL ESCORT FLAGSHIP
Commodore Perry's Boat Is TO Be
Brought From Lake Erie to
Chicago Water Carnival.

In all probability Saturday, Aug. 9,
will be the date on which local "tars,"
members OF the Moline division Illi-
nois naval reserves under command
of Lieutenant w. c. Jirdinston will
leave on their annual summer cruise
aboard the cruiser Dubuque moving
out of Chicago into the northern wa
tiers of Lake Michigan. First official
orders regarding thu squadron cruise,
in which the local boys are to have
a part have been received by the local
commander from Captain E. A. Evers
of Chicago commanding the state
forces. The different divisions of the
state have been assigned TO partici-
pate in one of two summer cruises,
the first occurring in July and the
final one from Aug. to %.
IMPRESSIVE FLEET.
Without any question this second
cruise of the season on the Dubuque,
which the Moline boys are to take,
will be the most interesting of the
two that have been arranged. In this
squadron cruise on Lake Michigan the
naval reserve forces not only of Hi
nois, but Of Michigan. Wisconsin, In
, diana, Ohio and New York, states Dor
dering on the Great lakes. will Join
together to make a most impressive
appearing fleet For two full weeks
the civilian seamen will live the life
I of regular United States navy men,
going through the regulation maneu-
: vers, practices in boat and shore duty
and experiencing the eXhilarating de-
lights Of an uninterrupted season Of
recreation so amply provided.
The Dubuque is the official training
ship and cruiser for the Illinois naval
reserves and men of the local divi-
sion have made profitable trips on the
zold boat in previous years. The as
isociation with the naval forces of
-other states on the cruise, with the
possibility for competition along GER
tain lines of naval practices, will be
feature of the squadron cruise this
year that is new. II is probable that
the Dubuque, carrying the Illinois
t"tars" will proceed as far north on
sthe Lake Michigan cruise as Hunting
Ston bay.

of the new Board of Commissioners.
While the Commissioners have made
no statement regarding future policies,
their position in this regard is we'll
understood. The only change thus far
is the appointment of william l.. Beale
as successor to Matthew Trimble, of
the Board of Assistant Assessors, whose
resignation was submitted to the board
Saturday. The retirement of Mr.. Trimble
from the service of the District, after
a period of over a quarter of century.
was entirely voluntary according to the
Commissioners, though not unexpected,
in view of the statement made by As
SCISSOR Richards before the house Dis
trict Committee, that he desired the
al pointment of a younger and more
efficient man.
Prior to the Inauguration of the new
board, there was some anxiety among
employees as to its probable action IN
regard to removals, but this has been
allayed by the attitude of the board.
Commissioner SiGdons announced to-
day his intention of becoming personal

departments underhis supervision, which
include the Police and Fire Depart

OF Weights, Measures. and Markets.

respect to purchases under the. general
supply committee, the Government s

Duganne,s fiscal agent OF the Reclama-
ton Service. who asked II he would be
authorized in making a payment of
$16.75 for a filing case purchased from
a firm that did not hold the supply COM
mittee contract. The Comptroller held
that he could. as the Reclamation Serv-
ice wac a field service, and could not be
construed as department or Govern
ment establishment in Washington in
the meaning of the law creating the
supply committee.
In a like case brought by the Recla-

Tracewell that the Reclamation Service
was a Government establishment in
Washington, having its headquarters
and central office here, and the pur-
