The big cleanup in the State gov
ernment began in earnest to-day when
Gov. Miller returned to his office from
New York and several of the new
State officials undertook their COM
missions Of putting real economy into
effect.
The real cutting began in five big
State bureaus. There are badly
frightened lot of employees tonight in
the Industrial Commissions score or
more of bureaus and offices; in the
four tax collecting agencies, which are
being assembled rapidly into one un-
der the new tax commission, which
took office to-day, and in the Public
Service Commissions offices, where
big reductions are expected.
The axe fell first in the Industrial
Commission. Henry d. Sayre. the new
Commissioner, announced that three
deputy commissioners with salaries OF
$4,000 each had been dismissed. They
are James L. Cernon of Brooklyn.
William c. Archer of Mount Vernon and
Edward d. Jackson Of Buffalo. Their
offices are abolished by the provisions
of the new law reorganizing the de-
partment The law also abolished the
offices of the ten other deputy commits
sioners, whose salaries were $4,000
year, but the incumbents have been re-
tanned temporarily as compensation
referees.
To Cut Employment Bureaus.
Commissioner Sayre will make his
biggest economy drive on the employ
ment bureaus under the commission.
There are nineteen of these bureaus of
which five are in New York, all over
manned with political sinecure Jobs and
many overlap the duties of the Federal
employment bureaus. Many OF the
bureaus, perhaps a majority of them.
will be abolished, and the rest will con-
tinue with forces cut one-half. Several
hundred jobs in these bureaus will he
Topped off the States pay rolls. Among
the branches OF the department which
are to be reorganized and reduced are
the compensation and mercantile, fac
tory and boiler inspection. The eff
cheney of the department will not be
affected by these changes.
The reduction throughout this Dig de-
partment is. made mandatory by legis-
lative enactment. which reduced its ap-
preparation from s2,5o0.ooO last year to
s, 10000. The department asked for 3d.

Gov. Miller announced to-day that T..
Y. O'Connor, labor leader Of Buffalo. had
resigned as a member of the Industrial
Board under Commissioner Sayre. Mr..
o'Connor was appointed to this position
two weeks ago. The Governor said Mr..

AMERICAN LEGION
TRIP ABROAD
Veterans of the A E. F. Expect to
Revisit Scenes of Their Trials
and Triumphs
(Associated Press)

NASSOclaL6Q I1GSSl
New York, July 15.-The $50 mem
bers of the American Legion who will
visit France in August and Septem-
ber at the invitation of President Mil
lerand, will represent every section of
the United States and all arms of the
fighting forces in the war. Every
state will have its quota and if possi-
BILE every combat division will have
representation, says an announcement
of the legion.
A fixed quota. based on legion men,
bership, has been allotted to each
state. Not all who have asked to be
included can go, but it is the purpose
of Franklin D'Olier. the former ma
tional commander of the legion who is
in charge of the pilgrimage, to make
the party ga cross section of our for
mer fighting forces" Selection of the
members is in the hands of the state
organizations of the legion.
The party will sail aboard the
steamer George Washington on Aug.
and will return about the middle of
September. The principal events of
the visit will be the dedication at
Flirey of a monument to the Ameri-
can army, which is the gift of the
French municipality and the people of
Lorraine, and the laying of the cor
nerstone of the new bridge "Pont
Roosevelt over the Marne at Chateau
Thierry.
President Millerand, Premier BRAND
and the marshals of France are ex-
pected to be present at the ceremonies
at Flirey. Flirey is familiar ground
to the A. E. F. 1t is situated in the
old Toul section which the American
troops took over in 1917.
Another reception of note to the
Americans will be by the little town
of st. Die in the old Luneville sector,
also long held by Americans. st. Dies
claim to special attention in light of
the legion visit rests on the fact that
in St. Die stands the house in which
the continent of America received its
name 1t is the one-time abode of
Waldsee- Muller, the Alsatian monk,
when he wrote the letter suggesting
that the new world take the name of
the Italian navigator, Amerigo Yes
pucci
Marshal Foch will be "at home" to
the visiting legionnaires. He will re-
ceive them in the house in which he
was born in the town of Taubes in the
Pyrenees mountains. There will be
receptions TO the pilgrims at Paris,
Bordeaux, Toulouse. Lyon, Metz and
Strasbourg. At Verdun the party will
sleep in the famous citadel.
At Rheims the veterans will attend
the presentation of the 5000, ,O00-franc
gift of the Carnegie foundation to the
city library there.
Under the terms by which the legion
accepted the hospitality of the
French government. the expenses of
the expedition viii be borne by the
delegates themselves or by the legion
organization.
| Mr.. D'0lier says that the proposal
for the visit has been received with
such enthusiasm by the American vet
erans as to constitute a striking and
spontaneous tribute to France as a
former ally.
''The American veterans feel that

NEGRO KILLED NEAR
ORANGE LAKE

Ernest Snoddy Went Cunning for
Sheriff and his Deputy

Sheriff Thomas and Deputy Walter
Perkins were compelled to shoot ne
gro named Ernest or "Nest" Snoddy
near Orange Lake late yesterday aft
ernoon. The negro. who was evidently
crazed with shine. went cunning for
the sheriff Mr.. Thomas started for
him, intending to put him under ar
rest. The negro pulled gun, but the
sheriff, as usual, got in the first shot,
and fairly blasted Snoddy down with
shower of lead. The negro, tho
terribly wounded, was sitting on the
ground where he fell, had his gun in
his hand and in it two or three loads,
which he was trying to let loose.
Deputy Perkins at this point, shot
the negro right thru the head and he
fell and died instantly. A coroner's
jury exonerated the two officers.
The negro brought his fate ON him
self. The colored people had picnic
at Orange Lake yesterday, and Sher-
iff Thomas and Deputy Perkins went
over there in the afternoon to see if
there were any evidences of liquor
selling. They saw nothing out of the
way and started home. A short dis
tance from the lake they were stopped
by a colored man who told them that
Snoddy was armed and threatening
to kill the sheriff Mr.. Thomas and
his deputy, who were in the sheriff s
car, went to look for Snoddy.
They soon saw him, stopped the
car, jumped out and advanced on the
negro on foot. Mr.. Thomas didn't
expect to have to shoot, but kept his
hand on his, gun. When they were d
little distance apart, the negro pulled
his gun and fired, but the sheriff beat
him by a split second. The negro
staggered and went down but kept on
trying to fire. Mr.. Perkins, afraid
that the negro would get one shot in,
and that one do serious damage, fired,
the slug from his .38 special smashing
into Snoddy's brain and killing him al
most instantly.

Ocala and with Judge Futch and Dep
