Duval was N. M. Breeze, general
agent of the Northwestern road, with
headquarters in Cincinnati. Introduc-
tons were necessary apd then it de-
veloped that the two railroad officials
were boys together in Armada, Mich,
some thirty-fve or forty years ago
and that together and at about the
same time they were cub telegraph
operators in the same office in The
village. They had not met for more
than thirty years and neither had
known of the whereabouts Of the
other. After the surprise afforded by
the meeting had passed, the two men
spent pleasant hour reviewing Incl

Bakers Statement.
Secretary Baker made this state
ment:
General Funston's death is a loss
to the army and loss to the country.
During the trouble on the Mexican
border, his work has been difficult, ex-
acting and delicate. His conduct has
been that OF a soldier, and has
exemplihed the high tradition of the
American army by his quick, intelli-
gent and effective action. Through
out it all the sympathy between Gen.
cral Funston and the department has
been complete and no shadow OF dis
agreement has arisen.
II am deeply grieved personally at
his death and feel that his loss to the
country is very great"
Major General Pershing, who has
been in command of the Ell Paso dis
trict since the withdrawal of the
American expedition from Mexico, au-
tomatically will succeed to the duties
Of commander of the southern depart
ment until an appointment has been
made. Recently made major gen.
cral, he is the only officer of that
rank now assigned to the depart
ment.
Pershing In Active Charge.
As immediate successor to the COM
nand, General Pershing will have
charge Of the many details of the
of the remaining units of
he National Guard ordered home
from the border last Saturday. 1t is
here that this movement,
plans for which were worked out by
General Funston, as virtually his last

John S. Musser, president of the
Dauphin Electrical Supplies Com
pany, is one of the best known cleo
trical men in the country. His rise
in this line of business has been lit
tie less than phenomenal. He entered
the firm he now heads when it was
a branch of the Arrowsmith Elec-
trical Company, of Reading, in a
humble capacity. 1t was not long be-
fore he was bigger than the business
and in the course of time he and a
few others. incorporated as the Dau-
phin Electrical Supplies Company,
took it over with him as it's head. 1t
has since become one of the best
known electrical houses in the coun-

of which is still one of his proudest
possessions. During his stay in the
then border State he served as dep
uty sheriff under his uncle. He was
also a member of the Governors staff
of the National Guard of Nebraska
for several years and as such was Il
member of the party that rode with
Buffalo Bill when the latter headed
party to help put down the last
Indian uprising In that part of the
West. For time after his return
to the East he was in business in
Philadelphia, afterward purchasing
farm in Virginia when warned by
his physician that he must live for
a time in the open. His next busi-
ness venture was that enterprise in
which he has made such a success in
Harrisburg.
Mr.. Musser resides in a handsome
home at Washington Heights, and
his favorite diversions are gardening
and automobiling. He is q member of
the Chamber of Commerce, and u
former president of the Rotary Clul,
of this city and prominent in the

IMPORTANT CASE
UNDER AMUSEMENT

Judge William B. Sheppard. who
left Friday for New Orleans to
hear the case of the Empire Cotton
Oil Company of Valdosta, Ca, VS.. w.
A. McRae. Commissioner of Agricul-
ture for Florida, has returned to the
city, with the case under advise
ment.
When the case was first brought
up, Judge Sheppard granted a tenn
porary restraining order against the
commissioner. preventing him from
stopping shipments of the company
In Florida. Mr.. McRae refused to
permit the shipments until the COM
pany established an agency, but the
company claimed this was unneces-
sary, and that their business had
been carried on for years without a
Florida agent and that such regu-
lations constitute an interference
with interstate commerce.
