soldiers of (ha civil war had marched in '
many campaigns, awakened Saratoga at
an early hour today, the day of the parad
of the veterans attending the national en
campment of the Grand Army of the. Kt
public. Significant of the falling strength
of the veterans was the fart that
the parading distance was reduced to one
mile the. shortest ever fixed for the na
tional encampment. For the first time the
jmrado waa limited to members of the
Grand Army lnsteud of being open to all
survivors of tht war.
The village, was ablaze Vlth the national

festooned at every convenient points strung
in tows nt short intervals across the
street mid completely covering the In
terior of the great convention hall, where
the sessions of the encampment wero held.
One of the features of the parade was
this presence of a big flag which covered
the body of General Grunt on Its way from
Mount McGregor to the tomb, in custody of
tho Grenadier guard commanded by Colonel
A. H. Fowler of Little Kock. Ark., in which
every man was over six feet tall and each
representing ono of the forty-five depart
ments of the Grand Army of the Republic.
This old flag brought up the extreme rear,
escorted, by the whole parade and being
carried at last along the whole line of
review.
Reviewed by Governor.
As planned, tho national officers In car
riages, with Governor Charles K. Hughes
of this state, led the line, the chief of staff
In command being J. Cary Wlnans of To
ledo. The department of New York state,
although entitled by seniority to fifth place,
selected as hosts tho left of the line, which
Included a representation of every depart
ment. Including Alaska, and of every
branch of the service. The parade was
reviewed by Gov, Hughes and the national
officers of the Grand Army of the Republic.
The parade waa started shortly before S
p. in. in a drenching rain. It was esti
mated that 10,000 men were In Una at the
start, but many of the mora Infirm vet-,
trans dropped out when th storm became
severe, while thu others plodded on despite
ins weainer.
The day's program began with a. recep
tion at Conrreaa Hall, the New York
Mate headquarters, in honor of Governor
Hughes, at 11:80. At 12:30 luncheon was
served by the department of New York

Robert B. Brown and his staff, past na
tional officers, department commanders
and the other distinguished guests. Meat
while there had been reunions of the var
ious organisations.
Tonight there waa a musterlng-ln serv
ice conducted by Memorial post of
Cleveland, O., with a stereoptleon exhibi
tion In tha convention hall.
The real business of the convention will
begin tomorrow with the annual address of
Retiring Commandar Brown, reports of
officers and committees and possibly elec
tion t officers. The latter, however, may
be postponed until Friday. The place, cf
the next national encampment la still In

MILWAUKEE. Wis.. Sept. ll.-The Mil- j
waukee Journal today prints a story re
garding which It claims to have reliable
Information that Charles Allls, chairman
of the executive, and Edward P. Adams
of New York, chairman of the finance
committee of the Allls-Chalmer company,
will retire from their respective positions;
that W. B. Kelly, president of the Ameri
can Sleel Foundry company, will become
chairman of the executive committee, and
that Judge E. II. Gary, chairman of the
board of directors of the United States
Steel corporation, will head the board of
directors of the Allls-Chalmers company
and likewise the finance committee. It is
explained that the Allls-Chalmer company
has for some time been hampered by lack
of sufficient capital to carry on Ita pres
ent enormous business, and the fact that
Kelly and Gary are to be more actively
and prominently Identified with Allls
Chalmers means that th United States
Steel corporation will In some measure
add financial support to Allls-Chamlers.

HARMON ON RIGHT OF STATE
Former Attorney General Talks at
Jamestown Exposition.
WOULD
NOT LIMIT FORTUNES
I. Ikes Idea that Stute May
Take Care of Itself on All
Great Question of the
liny.
NORFOLK. Va., Sept. 11. Judson Har-
ninn, former attorney geenral of the I'nlted
I States, speaking at tho Ohio day celebra
I tln today, said, in part:
The people of Ohio cherish still, as they
! alwavs have done, the "rights of sov
'eiclgnty, freedom and Independence," as
well an the ineiiioersnip in Hie union, iiura
secured to them. Tliey might have gained
l nose otherwise, but are none the less i av
lul for the precaution taken by Virginia,
which assured them. And they have justi
fied her by the use they have maao of
these rights.
'1'hey leauxe thst for a people who have
set out to govern themselves to look to
aonic dne else, no mstter who, to help gov
ern them is a confession of iinntness.
1 hey are proud of the governor who when
pleHdcd with to call for federal troops said
i into could take caro of herself, as she
did.
i ney know that authority once sur
rendered or qualified is never regained, no
mutter how hitter the regret. They have
learned that encroaching power is some
time well meant and always strews lis
path with attractive present benefits. And
mey have that sovereign virtue of a free
people patience to endure for a time. If
need be, whllo they work out through tnelr
own aHeneies the difficulties which chang
ing circumstances are ever presenting.
And the people of Ohio have no excuse
! for lupslnx from the virtue of self re
I llance. 1 hey have shown that they know
! how to deal with trusts and combinations
1 organized and conducted in defiance of tho
I laws of trade and tho rules of talr deal
I lng. They are sure they, better than
I others, can control without crippling tho
corporations they create, and fix the con
Idltiona on which thoee created hy other
i iii.ap&i.niic. mhu .in htiMtneM within their
borders. And they are not willing to yield
the rlKht to do this to any other power,
or to nave It qualified save by the con
dition to which tney have given Irrevocable
consent, that they must act Justly with
respect to rights lawfully acquired.
It Is a matter of no personal interest to
me because, my aim In life has never been
to amass wealth, but I am not taken with
the Idea of seeking to limit by law the
acquisition of fortunes. The smallest
fortune is too great If it be dishonestly
rr unfairly gained. With laws so framed
as not to impose unnecessary charges on
the people, which operate to give some
advantages over others, and with lawn
Impartially enforced to prevent unfair
methods and corrupt practices, no fortunes
will be 'swollen." which Implies unnatural
and perverted growth.
Nor with our well-tested systems of In
heritance and restriction of entailments
will fortunes long remain in unworthy
hands, while fair gotten wealth has neither
temptation nor occasion to seek Illicit fa
vors from officials who make and enforce
the laws. And in our free country every
man who thinks happiness lies In wealth
has the right to get as rich as he honestly
can. All we should demand is that he
shall not increase his gains by withhold
ing from the laborer his Just reward or
adding hardships to his lot, nor bv de
priving others of their gains by unfair
competition. And he must bear his due
share of the expenses of the governments
which protect him In pursuit and pos
session. But If for the first time In the history
or the race somebody is to draw a line
around thrift and enterprise. I am sure
Ohio will Insist on trying the experiment
for Itself For all economic measurea are
whtfS.rl:? pwrimrints, especially those
whteh fleal with new conditions. And when
the atmosphere Is charged with discontent
and resentment, no matter how Just, the
eje Is not always sure nor the hand
always Rteady. so that results not Intended
or desired may follow. - ,OM
CURIO COLLECTOR IS DEAD
J. Gnatave RnrajhofTer, Owner of Most
Fnmona Collection In Chlcngo,
Found Dead.
CHICAGO. Sept. ll.-Surrounded by an
tique furniture, rare old books and paint
ings, and curios from all parts of the
world. John J. Gustave Burghoffer, an ec
centric curio collector, was found dead yes
terday In a small room In the rear of his
"old curiosity shop." 34 North State street.
His faithful old dog, Blix, which had been
Burghoffer'a only companion during the
last fifteen years, gave the alarm which
led to the discovery of the old man's death
by whining piteously. Burghoffer had spent
more than forty years in Chicago In the
business of collecting curios. He enjoyed
a wide acquaintance among Chicago artists
and curio collectors.
Burghoffer was born in Paris sixty-four
years ago and came to Chicago from France
when 10 years old. He was married at
Omro, Wis., in lf, and brought his young
bride to Chicago. Threo years later, after
a son was born, his wife deserted him and
took the child with her. She Is now said
to be living in Seattle.
In a dusty old saichel tucked away Jn
an antique cabinet In tile shop was found
Burghoffer'a will inclosed In a sealed
envelope. The envelope waa addressed to
F. G. Berghoffer. Fair Haven. Wash. The
address probably is Burghoffer'a aon. whom
he has not seen since the mother took him
away In 1871.
Burghoffer'a shop contains one of the
moat valuable collections In Chicago. Some
of the "old masters" there are sajd to be
worth from 5,000 to JlS.000. It Is said he
owned considerable real estate in various
parts of the city.
IMPROVEMENTJJF STEEL RAIL
Ex-Judge Gary, Chairman of United
States Steel Corporation Board,
Talks.
NEW YORK, Sept. ll.-Ex-Judge E. H.
Gary, chairman of the board of the United
States Steel corporation, who has Just re
turned from a two months' vacation abroad,
in speaking of the movement for the im
provement of the steel rail, said that the
commission of experts appointed to con
sider the subject would probably report in
two or three weeks. He said It would be
found that the steel manufacturer and
the railroad companies would make every
effort to adopt a standard that would en
sure the safety of the public.
"The time has gone past. ' continued
Judge Gary, "for the great corporations to
ignore the public and the public Interest.
Th 'Public be damned' policy. If that
phrase was ever actually used, will not
go In these days. The heads of our great
Industrial enterprises can never adopt that
attitude, not alone In this matter of policy,
but In th interest of their own under
takings. There has been a great change
of late year In the attitude of corporations
toward the public and their employes."

STRIKERS WOULD NEGOTIATE
Committee Named In Wire Fight nnd
Instructions Are Given j
Them.
NEW YORK, Sept. 11. Without accom
plishing anything toward settling the teleg
rapher's strike. President Samuel Gompers,
of the American Federation of Labor, left
here for Washington last night. Mr. Gom
pers declared he would do anything in his
power, or moke any personal sacrifice to
bring the strike to an end. "I came here,"
he said, "to see whether I could not do
something to bring about an honorable set
tlement of the strike. I met Mr. Small
and Mr. Thomas and talked over with them
the possibility of peace and financial sup
port from the federation of labor in case
the strike should be prolonged. There will
be no unconditional surrender by the strik
ers. That Is certain. The strike should be
amlclably settled now. It would be the
worst thing possible for all concerned If
the strike were fought to a finish. It would
be bad for the public, bad for the strikers
and bad for the telegraph companies. In
such an event there would be much bit
terness on both sides. Bad feeling would
be avoided If the strike was settled now
by an agreement between the companies
and the operators. Therefore I am willing
to do anything In my power to bring about
peace." ,
At a meeting of New York local No. It
of the Commercial Telegraphers' union one
delegate each was elected by the telegraph
er of the Western Union and Postal in
this city to represent them on a national
committee In case of negotiations looking
toward the ending of the strike.
A resolution was adopted to the effect
that the delegates be Instructed to consider
no basis of settlement unless It bo the ac
ceptance of the eight-hour day, 15 per
cent increase in salary, free typewriters
and equal wages for women and men per
forming equal work.

000 shortage waa discovered today in the

FISHERIES QUESTION SETTLED
State Department Official Surprised
There, hnld Re Any More
4)n'stlon.
WASHINGTON Sept. 11. -Being under the
Impression that Sir Robert Bond had se
cured about everything of Importance that
he wished Included In the modus Vivendi
relative to the Newfoundland fisheries,
the Slate department officials here were sur
prised to read a report that the premier
has denounced the Imperial government for
concluding the arrangement whlrh was ab
solutely necessary to prevent serious fric
tion between two great nations. They were
disposed to draw a parallel tie) ween tho at
tltudn of the Nefoundlanders and the
Callfornlans In this matter, each according
to the view of the Washington government
showing a lack of appreciation of the Im
propriety of attacking treaty right by
local legislation.
The statement la made that with tho
single exception of asserting the right of
American vessel to ship Newfoundland
ers as fishermen, the American government
has, for the sake of peace, surrendered all
ot the extreme points claimed by It. And
this right of shipping fishermen Is to be
exercised In a manner least likely to off en I
Newfoundland pride, for the men are to
be taken aboard off shore and not within
the territorial waters of the colot y, ul
though the Americans have always lnsleUd
that theyhave the right under treaty to
take the men off the docks If they cared to
ship there.
The further discussion of the subject Is
regarded by officials here as pur -ly aca
demic, aa the mode la now a loui'dotcd
Instrument. If tle Nefoundland premier
carries out his announced purpose of exe
cuting tho colonial laws, even where they
conflict with the American treaty rights. It
will be Uie duty of the British government
to deal with the case, and not the concern
of tho State department.

robber ordered him to take a position In
the middle of the room, then backed out
and Jumped Into the waiting buggy. Cash
ier Vlsh grabbed his revolver and ran to
the door, where he fired one shot at the

KEEP ROADS BUSY IN COURTS
Governor and Attorney t.rneral In
Aerord with Commission In
tarrying t'lght to the
Limit.
(From a Staff Correspondent !
LINCOLN. Sept. ll.-iSpeclal.)-ln the
fight between the State Hallway commis
sion and the allied railroads, precipitated
by the action of these corporations In
securing a temporary restraining order
against tho commission to prevent It fronf
making a grain rate, the commission Is
considering two modes of procedure. First,
the starting of a multiplicity of hearings on
rates on commodities other than grain, and,
second, the arrest of railroad officials for
every Infraction of the commission law,
whether grave or trifling. And It may do
both.
The commission may order the arrest of
George W. Holdrege, general manager of
the Burllnirton. because Chairman Wlnnett
nnd Commissioner Clarke sny the Burling
ton pass list Is not complete, though made
under oath; they claim also that the Bur
lington west of Grand Island Is not comply
ing with the Aldrlch IS per cent reduction
bll,' passed by the recent legislature, and
that It has not yet filed Its schedule show
ing this reduction on lumber and grain west
of Grand Island.
The commission has evidence of four
teen passes Issued by tiia Burlington
road In Nebraska that were not Included
In what purported to be a true list fur
nished hy the road. The law provides a
heavy penalty. The filing of a false
statement under oath may also be con
strued aa perjury.
Governor Sheldon and Senator Aldrlch,
who has been retained as special counsel
for tho commission, favor starting a mul
tiplicity of hearings on other than grain
rates. The commission desires some time
to get It present hearings ended before
doing this. Governor Sheldon today said:
May n Well He Rnay.
"If the railroads Intend to go Into court
and secure an Injunction against tho com
mission every time it promulgates an order
or begins a hearing, they may Just as
well be kept busy. Should tho commission
announce a hearing one day on a certain
commodity, a hearing the next day on
another commodity until the rate on every
eommodlty-or1 duns has been hesrd and
It has been enjoined on each hearing, one
remedy la left. I can call an extra session
of the legislature and the railroads may
be compelled to comply with a law mak
ing a reduction of 28 per cent on all
classes of freight. The railroads have no
right to enjoin the commission without
first liavlnu put in testimony and the case
has been heard. They are not fair and
have shown no disposition to be fair."
The action of the railroads in securing
an Injunction when the commission was
merely taking evidence on the Justness of
a rate, according to Chairman Wlnnett
and Commissioner Clarke, Justifies their
' position taken some time ago In the mat
ter of trying out the constitutionality of
the Sibley express law. Had they. 'at
tempted to enforce that law or to arrest
anyone under Its provisions they say the
result would have been the same as that
In the grain case.
Incidentally, the commission may file
complaint against all the road except
the Union Pacific and the Northwestern
for falling to file a list of their pass
holders prior to September 10, the data
fixed by law when this Information shall
be filed with the commission. The two
roads mentioned are the only ones which
have compiled with the law In this re
spect. Senator Aldrlch again expressed his con
fidence In the ability of the commission
to win out In the Injunction suit by reason
of the notice which he, aa representative
of the commission, served on th rail
road companies and made a part of th
records of the commission.
