Militia Held at
State Camps

Washington, Aug. 16.-Orders for
ne remaining mobilized units of the
national guard to proceed to the border
have been suspended by the war de-
partment. No official explanation had
teen made, but it is known that the
de.icacy of the railroad strike situation
| as been the moving consideration.
The suspension of the orders to the
troops. which would have moved some
$4,000 men to the border, should not
he taken as an indication that the pres
idents negot ct ons with the railroad
brotherhcods and railroad managers
have taken an unfavorable turn, but
is a measure of caution. 1t was con-
;sidered highly undesirable that all
the remaining guardsmen should be re-
moved to the border while there was a
possibility of a railroad strike in

ST. tes. .#
The suspension of the orders nre-
vents the immediate movement of the
troops from Kentucky, Ohio and Ver-
81 Tie mUvemenl OF al other
n -obilized units which were to h e
gone forward as soon as they were
equipped.
1t is clear that the suspension is not
a revocation of the orders and that if
the railroad strike situation clears up
the troops will be moved to the border
line.
The official explanation of the
change at the war department is
that difficulties of transportation and
equipment, suddenly developed, have

A telegram from Major General
Funston, made public by the war de-
partment, disclosed that the general
recommended the suspension of the
order. His telegram follows:

RAMONA AT ACADEMY
is SPLENDID SPECTACLE
All Richmond should see Ra,

All Richmond should see Ramona.
Aside from its spectacular features.
the story told by Helen Hunt Jackson
Is Impressive. Millions of people have
read it and other millions should
1t is a modern day classic of which
there are so few.
Why all Richmond should see it, is
why all persons wherever the oppor-
tunity presents itself should see it,
Because 1t carries with 1t the story
or human nature. with heart feeling
and love. 1t discloses the weaknesses
and frailties of life 1t shows that
all people. lowly and high, have SINH
lar instincts. and the bright particu-
lar point Is that the lowly. with his
little pittance. does more good in the
long run than the high with his aus
tere presence and his icy stare.
Human nature is the same all over
The child in the gutter will give
his companion the core of his apple,
II he loves him. But II there is no
love, the core will go to the sparrows
There is no doubt but that the In
dams of California, New Mexico and
Arizona and Northern Mexico were
|, treated by the early American settlers
like dogs. Not only were these peace
fully inclined and highly religious In
dams treated like dogs, but the fiery,
tribes of the more northern sections
were similarly treated. history shows
this. and the records OF the United
States government prove that all these
led up to the Sitting Bull massacre Of
the Little Big Horn.
And the blood still runs In the veins
OF the few Indians left Those in
Mexico now are showing the hatred
for the white man that was instilled
in the minds and brains OF their fore
fathers.
But they loved just like we do to-
day. They stood ready to do and
dare for their love. There was in
trigue then as now. and human ma
ture asserted itself. as it does now.
The story is a long one. 1t takes
three hours to tell but 1t is worth
the time. There is no use rehearsing
It here. 1t simply tells OF the trials
and fluctuations of the Indians from
ls45 to 1901. about the time the
traders and the land grabbers had
about taken everything the India MS
had. Through II all runs the inevita
BILE love theme, and several songs are
. introduced, sung by an unknown man
with fine baritone voice.
The incidental music is something
to count upon, delivered in good sized
chunks, and most artistically, by an
orchestra OF women soloists chosen
from the leading orchestras in New
York.
Again II is suggested that all Rich
mond should see the picture and
study the lesson OF kindness gentle
ness, big-heartedness. bravery and
above all. love.

AUDITOR DRAWS LINE
ON PAYMENT Of men
taches OF Survey Division,
Engineers Office.

The Administrative Board yesterday
adopted a resolution carrying out in
structtons from City Council, directing
the CITY Engineer to pay men In his
department now in service in the
United States army until the end Of
the present year.
The men in this department include
Messrs. Watkins, McNeel, Hancock
Cutchins. Lyle, Keegan. Hughes and
Tsaacs
When the men applied to the city
auditor for vouchers he refused to
honor the orders Of Messrs. Hughes
and Keegan, who had been connected
with the annexed territory survey de-
partment He gave rs his reasons that
no city attorney had advised him that
both the men had resigned when they
joined the artillery, after the mobiliza-
ton order had been given, and were
not in the militia at the time the order
went out.
Both Messrs Hughes and Keegan
maintain that they are still In the ser
vice of the city, or should be, and that
they are a. much entitled to their pay
as any other man now serving under
the colors. They declare that because
they joined the army in the face Of
Mexican menace they should receive
~ least as much consideration as those
who went to the colors, because they
were compelled to do so.
When the resolution was before
Council, this point was specifically dis
cussed, and the resolution was adopt
ed with the impression on the minds
Of every member that all city en-
ployes who were now in uniform
should be paid until the end Of the
year.
1t Is probable the question may
come up at the meeting of the Board
Of Aldermen tonight.
