BIG STOREHOUSE
FOR THE ARSENAL
War Department Asks Congress for an
Additional Emergency ApprO-
priatiOn of 1907 800.

Washington. July 11,-Further emer-
gency appropriations for the army, ag-
gregaung almost $4,000 900. were
asked of congress today by the war
department. They included 1907, 500
to increase storage facilities at the
Rock Island arsenal.
When the foregoing Associated Press
telegram was read to Colonel George
w. Burr, cOmmandant of Rock Island
arsenal. he stated that he had been
asking for additional storage facilities
for the arsenal for several years.
In the sundry civil bill, which is
pending in congress, there is an ap-
preparation of S34 900 for an artillery
vehicle StOrehouse," Colonel Burr said.
The appropriation in this emergency
bill is for a general stOrehouse,
think.
For many years we used the shop
buildings which were not used as shops
for store purposes. But as the arsenal
expanded we became short of space
and We now need additional store
houses. With the appropriation of
S307 500 for a stOrehouse we could
build large building, suitable for all
types of stores"

The Juvenile department is located
on the second floor of the building. The
boys selected a spot just under the
window for their work. The cement
between the old stones is easily taken
out with a knife and it is claimed that
il the boys had had a little more time
they could have pushed one of the
blocks out, which would have given

maine CAMP AICN

Lewiston, Ne. Sept. s.-That Samuel
Untermeyer has ''Burchardized" the
Maine campaign is the opinion of news
paper men travelling with Mr.. Hughes
with reference to Mr.. Untermeyer's letter
to the New York Herald asserting that
the voters Of Maine are ignorant on ma
tional matters. They recall how the Rev.
DR.. Burchard on the very eve Of the
presidential election of 1884 declared that
victory for Cleveland would mean
Rum, Romanism and Rebellion" That
phrase, which spread like wildhre over
New York, undoubtedly lost to James G..
Blaine of Maine the electoral vote of that
state and cost him the election. The sit
uation Is not exactly parallel as the let
ter by Mr. Untermeyer. a Democratic
campaigner, does not come at a time
when the State claims to be in doubt, but
1t will undoubtedly add many votes to the
plurality Of Carl E. Milliken. Frederick
Hale and Bert M. Fernald.
