present scheme of organization will
pass out of existence.
Plan Carefully Worked Out.
The reorganization orders, the frui-
tion of plans on which the general
staff of the army has been working
for several years and which Secretary
Stimson has been pushing to compile
tion ever since he took office two
years ago. In conferences between
Secretary Stimson, officers of the
army, and members Of the house and
senate, the new scheme was threshed
out last summer and the finishing
touches We're put on last month at a
conference attended by every general
officer in the United States.

cavalry division are created in the
territorial limits of the United States
by the new orders. These divisions
will be located in what will be known
as the eastern, central, southern and
western departments with head
quarters at New York, Chicago, San
Antonio and San Francisco, San An

cavalry division.

located. Major General Thomas Bar
ry will command the eastern depart
ment; Major General William H. Car.
ter the central department; Brigadier
General Tasker H. Bliss the south

command of the southern department.
In addition to the departments with

partment. Troops in the other for.
eign possessions of the United States,

REAL PROGRESS.

The democratic house Of representa- p
tives in Nebraska has adopted new
rule providing for roll call in committee
of the whole. The committee of the
whole house is where the enemies of the
public welfare frequently do their most
skillful work and their agents in the
legislature work faithfully for them
knowing that there is no way Of putting
them on the written record. Often
these men who are false to the public
interests have their vote recorded right
on the final roll call The reform
adopted in Nebraska provides for "a roll
call in the committee of the whole and
thus requires every man to go upon
record at every stage of the proceedings.
A splendid reform it is and thoroughly
in keeping with the democratic spirit
Of the day.The Commoner.
There ought to be wider use Of the
roll call in the Wisconsin legislature.
The constitution requires that upon the
passage of money bills the vote shall be
taken by yeas and nays and be entered
upon the record. But there are other
important measures besides those which
create "A charge or impose tax The
roll ought to be called on all measures
at every step Of the proc ceilings from
their consideration in the committee of
the whole right up to their final passage
or rejection. To call the roll and place
every member on record would result
In more careful legislation.

Filled with desire to get away from

each about Is years of age, left Thur

boys were missed. At the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Gall their youngest son
John was not to be found, and at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Overholtz-
err "Martie" Carly had not shown up.
Thinking perhaps the boys had taken
ride on the Western Maryland, Mr.. Gall
went to the depot and with the assist
ance of the operator, Mr.. Cover Morris
on, received information that two boys
had been seen at Cavetown and were
travelling toward Hagerstown. Word was
sent to police headquarters at Hagers-
town for the officers to watch for the
lads and about O'Clock an officer found
them and took them to the police station
and locked them up for the night Mr..
Gall was notified and went after the run
Always Saturday and brought them home.
They now have no further desire for the

w. NJ. Wrecks.

Three men were injured last Friday
night when engine No. 7O6 of the West
ern Maryland Railroad turned turtle and
four freight cars derailed near Carroll
ton station. The injured were H. E.
Tayler, fireman, badly scalded; W. v.
Bunkley, engineer, injured by fall; and
another man who was learning the grade.
1t is supposed that rail turned and
threw the engine from the track. Traffic
was at standstill for several hours.
Early Sunday morning wreck occur
red on the road at or near Hagerstown,
resulting in the delay of the passenger
train. A car load of passengers from
Frederick, arriving at Thurmont about
eight o'clock, were detained until after
ten o'clock on account of the wreck. We
imagine they possessed but limited
amount of Easter JOY after being thus
detained.

Hot Time At Church Election.

The annual election for officers of the
Lutheran Church at Mddletown, this
county, was held on Monday afternoon
af this week. A fractional fight of rs
years standing which has defied all eff
forts to pacify, was intensified at this
election when the side led by VIM. W.
Doub made clean sweep. The meeting
started at 2 o'clock and adjourned after
a four honrs' session for supper. Two
more hours were takenu up at night before
results were obtained.
The meeting was presided over by Rev.
Dr. S. w. Owen of Hagerstown, Rev.
Wiedley of Washington, and Mr.. Alden,
secretary of the Maryland Synod. These
men were some time ago appointed
committee to investigate affairs in this
church. Mr.. Owen read the report,
which was in effect that the present dea-
cons and elders had been illegally elect
cd. A new election was ordered.
The church was crowded by both fac
tions, and after order had been called,
DR.. Owen announced that the new cleo
ton would be governed by the rules laid
down by the General Synod.
These permitted only those to vote who
had paid all church dues and complied
with other regulations. Over 100 voters
were disqualified. Vigorous protests were
made against the ruling and about fifty
of those disqualified crowded to the front
of the church and argued with the COM
mittee. Confusion reigned for time.
After quiet had been restored candi-
date was nominated by the Routzhan
faction. Charges had been made that he
had no paid his dues, and he was declar-
ed ineligible. Another was nominated by
the Doub faction He was charged with
having assaulted letter carrier several
days ago, and DR.. Owen declared against
his candidacy.
When candidates had finally been nom
mated the list of eligible voters was read
out and only those were allowed to cast
ballots.
Instead of promoting harmony, the
presence of the synod committee had a
reverse effect. Their plan, which dis
qualified many voters, was roundly criti-
cised by members of the church on both
sides.
The Doub faction won by majorities
ranging from 90 to 70 and are now in full
control. The election caused considera-
BILE excitement in the town.
