D. C. and National
Prohibition.
ISSUES GO TO COMMITTEE

ment ownership and operation of all

leigh Hotel Friday.
All resolutions today were merely

however, of the sentiment Of the ff-
tieth National Grange convention.

introduced the resolution asking that
the grange "reaffirm it's former action
in behalf of national prohibition and
further reaffirm its demand for prohi-
Dition of the liquor traffic in the Ma
tional Capital and in the entire Dis
trict Of Columbia"
Seek Expression on Adamson Law.
In another resolution Mr.. Spence
asked for the oranges expression fol
government operation and ownership
of all railroads. referring to the Adam
son law, and calling attention to the
fact that the danger of another ran.
road strike is by no means over, and
that the whole railroad problem APP
pears to be as unsettled as ever.
A resolution recommending that the
National Grange put itself on record IN
favor of the adoption of state and mu,
nicipal agencies for the distribution OIL
all dairy products was asked in res.
olution offered by c. B. kegley, master
of the washington State Grange. Res
olutions were offered urging all states
to create marketing commissions, urg
ing that all telephones be put under tht
Post Office Department, ana urging
that the parcel post be EXTENDED eacf

establishment, retention and increase
of usefulness.

CAMP WILSON, DISTRICT OF CO.
LUMBIA NATIONAL GUARD CAMP.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, November 90
With plans for Thanksgiving day din
ners well under way, the District
militiamen are hoping they will be
back in Washington when thoughts of
Christmas dinners claim their atten-
ton. Home by Christmas is the uni
versal slogan throughout this great
reservation among the troops from the
District and also those from the states.
The District militiamen started on
their sixth month of field service to-
day. and they are getting tired of mill
tary life. The District militiamen have
been assured they will be given a din
ner on Thanksgiving day that will rival
that which they would receive if at
their homes.
Turkey and Pie on Menu.
The quartermaster's department is
preparing to furnish the turkey to the
men at this and other camps along the
by the Rotary Club of San Antonio to
the pie they will want 1t is a city
wide movement, and all of the pies are
to be home baked. The Rotarians also
propose to provide other good things
for the soldiers.
Several of the companies of the Dis
trict regiment plan to have elaborate
feasts, and have even gone so far as
to have their menus printed. Troop A
also expects to have a big dinner
spread.
Four Recruits Arrive.
Four recruits for the Sd Regiment
reached here yesterday, and also a
militiaman who desirted before the
command left Washington. and who re-
Gently was arrested. Sergt. AIaurer of
the I'd Cavalry. stationed at Fort Myer
was in charge of the party. Recruit
Stallings has been assigned to the sup
ply company. Smith to Company C, and
Kane and Johnson to Company E.
Sergt. Maurer, who formerly was clerk
in the troop in which Capt. Washburn
was first sergeant, had dinner at Troop
A camp yesterday, and talked over old
times.
sergt Maj. Hood of the Sd Regiment
was assaulted Saturday evening by
militiaman of the Sd Illinois Regiment,
who has since been placed under arrest
awaiting a court-martial. Hood stopped
fight between two Illinois militiamen,
which took place just within the bound
airy of the District camp. and then es-
corted the man who had been getting
the worst of the encounter to his COM
pany in the Sd Illinois camp. While
returning he was attacked by the other.
participant in the fight. The man hit
Hood, and then threw a rock at him.
The sergeant major ordered him into
arrest. and the refusal of the man to
obey his order will be the basis of
court-martial today, this being a vio-
lation of the twenty fourth article of
war.

RENEWAL OF EFFORT
TO BAR TESTIMONY
Attorneys Object to DR.. Bemis'
Statement on Electric Power
Company Valuation.
PROTESTS ARE ovERRULED

An admission by DR.. Edward W.
Bemis, director of the valuation work
of the public utilities commission. that
given him in relation to the Potomac
Electric Power Company. concerning
| which he had testified. led to renewed
efforts by attorneys for the company
this afternoon to have his testimony
| excluded by the commission. hTe mo-
ton. as have been all previous ones
based on similar grounds and the allie
cation that DR.. Bemis was not quail
ned to testify as an engineer. was over
ruled by Chairman Kutz.
Attorney John S. Barbour, in his
cross examination of DR.. Bemis, en-
deavored to establish the fact that DR..
Bemis had merely applied theories of
valuation to data assembled by
Charles L. Pillsbury. engineer, and
Andrew Sangster, accountant. of the
The witness stated that he knew only
of the accuracy or inaccuracy of their
reports through his general intimacy
with these officials of the bureau and
their work.
Asked if He Assumed" Correctness.
Then you have assumed the correct
ness of these reports and based your
testimony on it?" Mr.. Barbour asked.
Yes was the reply.
Following up frequently repeated at
tacks on DR.. Bemis' qualifications as
an engineer. Attorney Barbour then
asked II 1t were not true that he had
been removed from the board of super
vising engineers of Chicago by Mayor
Thompson for the stated reason that
he was not an engineer.
DIR. Bemis said that while this reason
was given for his removal other mem
bers of the board, who, like himself,
were appointees Of former Mayor Har
riSon. also were removed. DR.. Bemis
said he shortly thereafter was engag-
ed by the city council, by unanimous
vote, for valuation work in Chicago, at
the same salary he received as a mem
Der of the board of supervising en-
ginecrs, which was $4,000 Il year.
Says He Depended on MI. Sangster.
Earlier in the course of the cross
examination DR.. Bemis, in referring to
incomplete records of certain railroads
which had made difficult valuation work
being done by the interstate commerce
commission, was asked If he had per-
sonal knowledge of the records of the
Potomac Electric Power Company. His
reply was that he depended on Mr..
Sangster for information on this sub
ject. This admission likewise was
made the basis for a motion by Mr..
Barbour to have the testimony exclud-
ed. which was overruled.
Questioned concerning his employ
ment by the public utilities commission
of the District. DR.. Bemis said that the
contract called for seventy-five days
work. at 800 a day. but that as mat
ter of fact more time than this had
been given to the work.

WILSON ABOVE PARTY
Republican Newspapers Will
Support President and His
Policies.

4 OAANAG9s
The Yellowstone Daily Journal,
published at Miles City, Mon
tana, recently made a declara-
ton Of political allegiance to the
"best men and measures :" it de-
clared its intention to support
vigorously Woodrow Wilson and
the fruits of his administration"
The Journal for many years
was issued under the manage
ment of Col. Sam Gordon, long
one of the wheel-horses of the
Republican party in Montana.
The colonel four years ago be-
came a Progressive, but since
has retired from newspaper
management. The control of
the paper evidently has been in
the hands of parties who have
inherited the antipathies which
drove Colonel Gordon some time
ago to renounce his interest in
the party organization with
which he was so long affiliated.
"In the coming presidential
campaign" said the Journal
editorially, "the Journal will
urge the reelection of Woodrow
Wilson. Yet, let this not be
taken as a declaration for Demo-
crazy. Regardless of party
affiliations, we believe the best
men now before the country for
election to the presidential chair
is Wilson. And further, we be-
lieve that his advocacy of world
peace, his foreign policy, his pro-
gram OF preparedness, his red
bloded Americanism, and his adj
ministration of internal affairs
are the wisest policies the nation
can pursue. These are the lead
ing issues and upon them hinges
the election, as did the nominal
ton. Time, we believe, will vim
dictate the greater part of what
the President has done. He has
been building for the future, and
: many of his acts do not COM
: mend themselves to his con-
temporaries. But their perman-
nent results will some day be
apparent, a temporary loss now
yelling a greater good to come
