Armstrong, Indianapolis.
Junior vice-commander, E. B. Fenton,
Detrolt.
Chaplain-ln-chief, Archbishop John Ire
land, St. Paul. f
Surgeon-general, W. H. Johnson, Lin
coln, Neb.
These officers were elected today at the
National encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic. All other officers are
staff appointments and will be announced
later by the new commander-in-chief. The
strongest oppponents of Mr. Brown for
the honor of being commander-in-chief
were C. G. Burton, of Missouri, and Cap
tain P. H. Coney, of Kansas. Both with
drew when It was seen that the election
of Mr. Brown was a certainty. Several
candidates were nominated for senior and
Junior vlce-commandcrs, but later all
withdrew In favor of Armstrong and Fen
ton, and both were chosen unanimously.
Archbishop Ireland had no rivals for the
position of chaplain-in-chief.
After the election the place for holding
the next convention was taken up, but
adjournment was taken before a vote was
reached. The voting will be resumed to
morrow. It Is expected that the debate on the
Wire monument proposition also will come
up tomorrow. Despite the fact that Commander-in-Chief
Tanner strongly urged
that a protest be made asainstthe erec
tion of the monument, there Is a pro
nounced feeling that the matter Is not
one of which the Grand Army should
take official notice.
The new commander-in-chief, R. B.
Brown, was born in 1S45 and has always
lived in Ohio. He enlisted in the Fif
teenth Ohio Infantry at the age of 16
and served in the Fourteenth Army Corps
in the Army of the Cumberland, until he
was mustered out in 1S64. He then re-enlisted
and served until the end of the war.
He was a private for three years and
then became a noncommissioned" officer.
He has long been active in the work of
the Grand Army. Mr. Brown is now edl-
Ao Veteran Among Grafters.
The annual report of James Tanner,
the retiring comamnder-in-chief, made to
day, states that notwithstanding the
fearful inroads of death the organization
today is 3500 stronger than at the en
campment in Denver last year.
He said the G A. R. has attained a po
sition of commanding influence. He bit
terly arraigned those who, posing as the
"most eminent men of the Nation,'.' had
proven false to their trust in various
ways, but declared that among all such
the name of no Civil War veteran could
be found. On this subject he said:
"Repeatedly in the past year on vari
ous public occasions I have defiantly,
and perhaps arrogantly, called atten
tion to the fact that, while the public
conscience has been shocked and out
raged by the exposure of moral turpi
tude on the part of many of those who
stood among the so-called most em
inent men of the Nation, eminent in
financial and religious circles, trusted
guardians of the interests of the wid
ows and orphans; men who in church
circles stood on the very steps of the
altars, trusted cup-bearers of the cause
of Christ, yet who, when their real
characters were exposed, were exhib
ited in such poverty of soul and honor
as compared to them, Lazarus in his
lowest state might Justly be considered
a multimillionaire, in all the list
search It from top to bottom the
name of not one veteran of the Civil
War can be found."
Observe Memorial Day.
The commander-in-chief reiterated his
views expressed In general orders regard
ing a proper observance of Memorial day,
and said that, as the result of his recom
mendations concerning the graves of Con
federates buried on Northern soil, he had
received a number of touching messages
from mothers of the South whose sons
are burled in Northern soil.
Reference was also made to his recom;
mendation that the Sunday preceding Me
morial day be duly observed as Memorial
Sunday, in order that the growing cus
tom in many places of regarding Me
morial day as a mere holiday for games
and amusements may be checked. He ex
pressed gratification at the general ob
servance of Flag day following its official
recognition by the 39th encampment.
The proposed monument to Captain
Wirz. who was in charge of Andereonville
prison, he strongly condemned.
Membership Still Growing.
The total membership of the Grand
Army Is declared in the report of Adjutant-General
Tweedale to be 235.823, an
increase of S36S during the last six
months. The losses by death for the year
ended December 31. 1905, were 9205, or 3.90
per cent of the total membership. In the
preceding year the losses by death
reached exactly the same percentage.
The suggestion Is made that the organ
ization be incorporated, with a provision
requiring the annual reports of the or
ganization to be eubmltted to Congress.
The delegates are about equally divid
ed on the canteen question.
The heat, which has caused much suf
fering, continues with no prospect of
cooler weather. It is estimated by the
police' today that the prostrations during
the parade numbered over 100. The great
majority of these were women who had
become exhausted by standing In the
streets waiting for the parade to pass.
Many have left the city for their homes
on account of heat.
Mrs. Carrie Sharkling, of St. Louis,
was tonight elected National president
of the Women's Relief Corps. Her prin
cipal rival was Mrs. Kate Jones, of New
York. Mrs. Sharkling has previously held
a number of high offices in the organ
ization. SECOND GRAND JURY MEETS

PLATFORM KEADY IX ADVANCE
Nebraska Republican Committee for
Protection and Against Trusts.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 16. The com
mittee appointed by the state commit
tee to prepare a platform to be submit
ted to the Republican State Convention
August 22, completed its labors this af
ternoon. After Indorsing the record of the Re
publican party and noting with pride
the work of the last Congress, the plat
form declares "unalterable allegiance
to the principles of protection and ap
proves the efforts of the National Ad
ministration to insure Justice for the
people against trusts."
The platform favors the election of
United States Senators by direct vote
of the people. It also says
We declare ourselves as unalterably opposed
to the domination of corporations In public
affairs and urge the enactment by the next
Legislature of an anti-pass law that will
prevent the issuance of any free pass, free
ticket, free transportation or transportation
known as newspaper or editorial mileage, ex
cept to bona fide employes of a railroad and
to members of their immediate families, and
caretakers of livestock.
An employers' liability bill is fa
vored and the platform says:
We recommend our representatives in Con
gress to urge the speedy adoption of such
laws and regulations as will permit the leas
ing, sale or other disposition of the Govern
ment lands In the western portion of the
state In such manner as will best protect the
Interests of the residents.
CALLS REYES A TRAITOR.
Ex-Minlster From Colombia De
nounces His President.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16. The Tribune to
morrow will say:
There has just been made public an
open letter written by Diego Mendoza,
recently Minister of Colombia at Wash
ington, in which the diplomat denounces
President Reyea of Colombia as a traitor
to his country and accuses him of ex
treme bad faith. Never perhaps has
there been penned such a scathing denun
ciation of the head of a government by a
c'.iplomat nominated by the man he at
tacked. Senor Mendoza, who has but recently
returned here from London, where, as a
member of the Colombian Congress he
represented Colombia at the Interparlia
mentary Union, declares that President
Reyes has, for financial reasons, entered
Into a secret agreement with President
Amador, of Panama, under which the
former department of Colombia assumes
a part of the Colombian debt, thereby
practically abandoning Colombia's rights
on the isthmus, and this, he says, stamps
Reyes as a traitor.
He also tells of President Reyes" sup
posed financial interest in the lighthouse
at Colon, and asserts that the President
sent to Washington an agent authorized
to sell the lighthouse to the United
States for $100,000, for which service he
promised the agent a commission of 10
per cent.
After explaining at some length and in
the most vigorous language how the se
cret negotiations of President Reyes made
Impossible the success of his own mission
at Washington, which, he says, was the
honorable solution of the secession of
Panama from Colombia, Senor Mendoza
makes the following statement in proof of
his assertion that there exists in the
United States a widespread sympathy
with hl country:
"The people of the United States desire
that justice be done Colombia for the
loss of Panama, and believe in the ar
bitration of the question. In proof of
this the holders of certain bonds of North
Carolina have offered me Jl.000,000 in
bonds, payable at the Federal treasury,
to aid Colombia's cause. They also as
sured me that, if we accept it, other
states in the 'United States would do the
same as North Carolina, because every
body, with the exception of the President,
realizes the reason and Justice of Co
lombia's position."
Senor Mendoza has arranged to distrib
ute broadcast in Colombia copies of his
vitriolic letter. It may be said, however,
that they have been seized and confis
cated. Under these circumstances the
former Minister becomes by his action an
exile from his country, at least drulng the
tenure of President Reyes.

OF GRIEF
THE ASYLUM
Daughter Is Charged With
Falsely Accusing Her
Mother of Insanity.
NEIGHBORS TAKE SIDES
Say That Wicked Conduct of Child
Is Responsible for Illness of
Aged Mrs. A. W. Jarvis.
Mind Not Unsound.
"If you don't eat here at home I'll send
you some place where you will."
Ida Jarvis, a young woman who spends
most of her time at Astoria, was over
heard to make this declaration to her
aged mother, Mrs. A. W. Jarvis, recently
of Los Angeles, and now the old woman
Is slowly grieving herself to death in the
State Insane Asylum at Salem, although
It Is alleged she Is of perfectly sound
mind.
Mrs. Jarvis came to Portland from Los
Angeles recently and lived with her
daughter at the home of Mrs. E. S. Bots
ford, .685 East Twenty-first street, Hntil
about a week ago, ' when she was taken
before Judge Webster and adjudged in
sane. Residents of the Powell Addition where
Mrs. Botsford resides are up in arms and
express the utmost indignation over the
manner In which Mrs. Jarvis was treated
by her daughter. Such a neighborhood
scandal has never shocked the people of
that part of the city In years and the air
is full of rumors of scandalous things
alleged to have taken place in the Bots
ford home.
Mrs. G. W. Stewart, a dressmaker, who
resides at 682 East Twenty-first street,
which Is Just across from the house in
which Mrs.-Botsford resides, is one of the
women of the Powell Addition who Is
greatly incensed over the treatment ac
corded Mrs. Jarvis. She has written to
the Chief of Police at Los Angeles and if
it is found Mrs. Jarvis has relatives or
friends there an attempt will -be made to
have her discharged from the Asylum.
The women of the Powell Addition de
clare that they will raise a sufficient sum
of money to send the poor, unfortunate
mother hack to the City of Angels.
Mother Horribly Mistreated.
Mrs. Stewart declares that Mrs. Jarvis
was horribly mistreated and that she was
rallrbaded to tne Insane Asylum, not be
cause 'she was insane but because her
daughter wanted to get rid of her. Mrs.
Stewart says that the mother was so
heart-broken over the conduct of her
daughter that she became determined to
die. and for this reason did not object to
being sent to Salem. Mrs. . Jarvis re
fused to eat and this was one of the
things which led Judge Webster to be
lieve that her mind was affected. But'
Mrs. Stewart and the neighbors say that
her grief was so Intense that she could
not eat.
Ida Jarvis is now an inmate of the
Waldorf dancehall at Astoria, and Mrs,
Botsford is caring for her 2-year-old son.
The young woman is described as hand
some, but Mrs. Stewart says her actions
at Mrs. Botsford's house were so bad
that she was warned to leave the neigh
borhood and to never return." Mrs. Bots
ford could not be seen last night as she
was not at home.
"I talked with Mrs. Jarvl and am firm
ly convinced that she is perfectly sane,"
said Mrs. Stewart last night, her voice
fairly shaking with suppressed indigna
tion. "That poor old woman does not de
serve to be in the asylum, and I believe
her daughter sent her there Just to get
rid of her. All of the neighbors think
the same as I do, and we are willing to
send her back to Los Angeles If we can
get her discharged.
Old Woman Ileart-Broken.
"She refused to eat, but that was due
to sorrow. She wanted her daughter to
send her back to California, but this she
refused to dc. The mother was so terri
bly heartbroken because of the conduct
of her daughter that she lost all interest
in life, and I believe determined to kill
herself by starvation. The daughter, ab
solutely devoid of love for the poor eld
mother who reared her, was brazen in
her infamy and had her sent to the
asylum.
"The old lady was deaf, and her daugh
ter had to talk to her in loud tones. Con
sequently, we heard much that was said.
Once I heard the daughter curse her and
say: 'If you don't eat, I will send you
where you will.' 'Oh, God, help someone
to help me," was the replv. Ida Jarvis
was deaf to this appeal from her mother,
but I am not, nor are the neighbors, and
we hope to do something to help mend

own daughter, it appears, loves her least

"Jost before she was taken away, the
women of the neighborliood were not al
lowed to go near her. Mrs. Jarvis did
not want us to see her. as they knew that
we could tell that she was not insane.
However, we do know, or most firmly be
lieve, that her mind Is not affected and
that the daughter is to blame for this
great injustice.
Is Intelligent and Refined. '
"Mrs. Jarvis is one of the kindliest and
most loveable old ladies I ever met. She
is very intelligent and appears to he a
woman of education and refinement. She
loved her daughter, and things she dis
covered upon coming here filled her heart
with sorrow and almost killed her. It Is
one of the most pitiful Instances of mis
treatment I ever heard of.
"I talked with Judge Webster regarding
the condition of Mrs. Jarvis, and he says
that she is Just bordering on insanity.
He is of the belief that If she will make
up her mind to eat, she will recover en
tirely. But he does not know all the cir
cumstances, as we do.
"The little boy of Ida Jarvis has been
subjected to abuse, too, and if it does not
stop I shall most assuredly appeal to the
authorities. We don't want anything more
to do with Ida Jarvis if we can help It.
I know that she was sent word to leave
the neighborhood and never return, and it
did not take her long to heed the warning."
UTAH SENATOR ON INDIANS
Sutherland Believes They Will Be
come Good American Citizens.
George Sutherland, United States Sena
tor from Utah, is a guest at the Hotel
Portland, on his way to Victoria, B. C,
on private business. Politics In Utah,
according to Mr. Sutherland, is rather
quiet at present, but he expects an
awakening of Interest immediately after
the Fall conventions. Senator Sutherland
was a member of the Commission on In
dian Affairs during the last session of
Congress and takes a deep Interest In the
affairs of the red man.
"It is the intention of the United
States Government ultimately to put all
the Indians on their own resources and
get rid of an expense that now runs into
hundreds of millions of dollars annually,"
he said, last evening. "Congress has had
this plan In mind for at least ten years,
but perhaps half a century will expire
before all the Indians will have become
individualized and able to make their
own way in the world.
"This is a tremendous undertaking and
naturally will require much work. After
careful consideration of the situation it
seems that this will be a much better
system than the one . now in vogue.
Where the Indian lives on a reservation
he is Inclined to be lazy, knowing that
the Government will provide him with
rations and look after his welfare.
Is Naturally a Nomad.
"Naturally the Indian Is a nomad. He
likes to hunt and fish and take life as
easy as possible. The reservation sys
tem rather encourages this sort of life,
and it is our Intention to gradually di
vide a certain amount of land among the
Indians, perhaps inserting a clause
whereby it will be Impossible for him
to dispose of at least a portion of his
holdings. Sixty or 70 acres of land could
be retained by the Indian himself and
the remaining property deeded him by
the Government sold. This would make
more room for the settler, provide the
Indian with enough land to make a liv
ing and open much tillable soil to set
tlement. "The Indian is not an agriculturist, as
the Government hoped he would prove
some years ago when It first- took up
the matter of adjusting matters for him.
He is fond of riding and takes naturally
to the raising of stock and horses. As a
result of his disposition to engage In the
catttle business, Indians will soon own
ranches in all parts of the country. As
a matter of fact, they already are en
gaged in the industry to a certain extent,
particularly In the Indian territory.
, Redmen Wealthy as a People.
"There are In the neighborhood of 90.000
Indians among the five civilized tribes
in the Indian Territory. Owing to the
bill passed during the last session of
Congress making the Territory and Ok
lahoma one state, the Indians are being
taken from their former reservations and
will in time become individual citizens
of the United States. The Indians of
the Indian Territory are perhaps the
wealthiest, as a whole, of any people in
the world. When the Government has
finally adjusted all its affairs the Indians
will average $6000 each.
"Intermarriage with the white race im
proves the Indian in every way. He ia
not like the negro In this particular. The
half-breeds attend college, take up differ
ent professions and make good citizens.
As time goes on, the Indian will become
more and more capable of civilization and
the Government will be rid of one of
its largest expense accounts that Con
gress has to contend with each year."
Extinction Still Distant.
There has been talk of the Indian In
time becoming extinct. This, eventually
perhaps, will happen, but Senator Suther
land says it will be long after the pres
ent generation of whites is gone.
Senator Sutherland speaks in the high
est terms of Senator Fulton of Oregon.
He had hopes of meeting Mr. Fulton
here and wa somewhat disappointed to

Millions Just
To Be Clean
THE mammoth Pabst Brewery is a model of
neatness that might well be taken as a pattern
by other pure food manufacturers. Millions
have been spent on the Pabst plant to make the
manufacture of Pabst Beer absolutely clean, pure
and wholesome.
Pabst Beer is not fermented in open vats as is
usual in breweries but in sealed tanks where no
air but pure, filtered air can reach it.
Pabst Beer is not cooled in rooms where men
walk in and out, but in specially constructed sealed
coolers -where no hands can touch it, no breath of
foul air can taint it.
Pabst Beer Is stored and aged only in specially
constructed, hermetically sealed tanks that are
kept pure and clean by rinsing only with filtered
water. Absolutely no chance is taken for the slight
est contamination by dirt, germs or tainted air;
Pabst Beer, in addition to being the cleanest
beer, is a pure beer the most wholesome beer
because made only from the '"Pabst exclusive
process eight-day malt," which retains all the rich
nutrition the strength and health building
r elements of the barley, and the exclusive Pabst
Process of brewing with eight-day malt makes
abst Blue Ribbon the perfect beer in age, purity
and strength.
