Much reel ing Is shown by tha veterans against tha oongressmaa who voted to abolish ' the canteen from national soldiers' homes after nest March. It Is looked on by many as blow to real temperance. Homer Sutcllffe, department oonr mender " Of -: Portland,Oregoni-rhaFar ' rived with a big delegation of veterans 'from Oregon, said "I favor the canteen. I live within six miles of a large army post and ' know the difference between a dry and wet' post. It is to be hoped that con gress will listen to the regular offloers and reconsider Its aotlon."

The story af ana af the cleverest swindles that erer came under the obeerrstlon at post offlea Inspeotors la that of Edward A. Vaoehsn. who appeared at the Qer mania bank. Minneapolis, December 10, 1104. with two or three companions snd deposited l.t0 In his own name, ad rlslne the offloers ot the bank that he waa about to start a train brokerage business in the city. H then rented of fice! In the Ouarantr Ioan bulldlnc one of the finest of flee buildlnts In Minneap olis, purchased expensive office furniture from a local dealer, on the monthly pay ment plan. Installed telegraph service and employed telegraph operators and 4 stenographer. Printed circular matter, dearrtMnf the business, containing Vaughan's llkeneae, pictures of the building In which his offloe was located, scenes In Minneapo lis, eta bearing the name of Edward 1, Vaughan, commission broker, ware sent by freight from Chicago to Min neapolis and mailed by Vaughan In ths Minneapolis postofflce. From 71.000 to 100.000 copies of the . first pamphlet called "Wheat" were mailed early in January. 1(05. Tbess were followed by thousands of other clroulsrs telling of Vaughan's experience as a business man and broker, t requesting the publio to send him sums of money with which to purchase wheat and guaranteeing large profits. AU ths literature waa attractive and bore evidence of tha author's knowl edge of ths grain and commission busi ness. He also sent . out facsimiles of references purporting to be from bank era In Chicago, Washington and Minne apolis: from many man high In publio Ufa, such as United States senators, rep resentatives, army officers and postmas ters. Actual business relations with a reputable Minneapolis grain dealer were commenced. Through hlra soma grain waa actually bought and aold and In a few instances small profits were re mitted to customers. By. April 1, three months -after ar riving In Minneapolis; Vaughan and his associates established, through their literature and by oorrespoodence, a cer tain standing with thousands ot people throughout the country. On April 4 a typewritten lettr bearing Vaughan's Big nature was sent to thousands of ad dresses. It wss afterward named the "monster melon" letter. This confiden tially advised tha addresses thst a "big wheat deal was on" which would be consummated May 10 Two hundred to too per cent profit wss guaranteed. Mr. Vaughan had "inside Information" and wanted every one to get a slice of the "monster melon." He would receive re mittances In sums of not less than 1100 to operate In hla own name. His re muneration was to be ( per cent of the profit. Remittances arrived by mall, express snd telegraph, 11,00 to 11,000 were received by Vaughan dairy. -' The board of trade and bankers re ported their suspicions to the postmss ter, who consulted the inspector. It was decided, on the morning or April li. to require Vaughan to Identify himself; letter mall was not sent to his office that morning by the carrier. An lnepector who inquired for Mr. Vaughan was ln formed that, he was an hla way from Chicago snd would arrive about noon) Vaughan never arrived. Vaughan, who was arrested In Den ver, Colorado, January If, following, testified at his trial In Minneapolis that he was In Winnipeg, Canada, April II pf last year. On that day hs received a telegram from his confederates -In Minneapolis which read, "Orandma la dead," meaning that tha scheme Wss abandoned and that those Interested In It had fled. He was convicted by a Jury, entenoed to It months' imprisonment In tha state reformatory, St. Cloud, Minnesota, and fined 100. . It 1 la believed that from 140.000 to 110,000 was received by Vaughan ,and hla associates as a result of this scheme. Seven hundred as 100 letters addressed to Vaughan, the majority of which con tained sums of 1100 and "upward, re ceived after the mall was held by the postmsster, April It, 1101, were either returned to the writers or sent to the dead letter offloe, marked "Fraudulent," by order of the department GALLANT THESPIAN , SAVES ACTRESS' LIFE -'Denver, Aug. .11.

' r EIGHT HOUR DAY THEIR AK.l Delegates to International Typo graphical Union Cheer Fine Report of President. TREASURY SHOWN TO BE IN HEALTHY CONDITION Fifty-Second -Annual Convention- of Printers at Colorado Springe Has 2,000 Members, Representing, Mors Than 50,000 Persona. . . iJearaal Spertal Serrlea.) . Colorado Springs, Col., Aug. II. Mors than. 1.000 delegates filled the Temple theatre here today at the opening of the fifty-second convention of the In ternational Typographical union, repre senting a total membership of more than 00,000 persons In the United States, Canada, Cuba snd the Philippines. President James M. Lynch reviewed the entire International field. "While the ordinary affaire of the International body have been Oubordl nated to a great extent to the eight hour day demand, yet we have made substantial progress neverthelees in all directions," he said. "The conditions of newspaper, worlers have been Improved and wages bare been materially rn creaeed In many Instances. With agree ments In effect with nearly all the Im portant newspapers of the North Ameri can contlnlnt, - with 40,000 -members on an eight-hour basis and with reason able prospect for eejnplete victory for the eight-hour day In all Instances where strikes are on, the outlook for the future of the International Typo graphical union Is exceedingly bright." President Lynch thanked tha other labor organtsatlona of America for the aid they had extended to the Interna tional union In Its struggle- for the eight-hour day. ' Considerable atten tion waa given to the Injunction feature of the recent struggle. On this subject tha president's annual report said: "Whlls ths Issusnce of Injunctions has not hsd the sdverse effect on our struggle hoped for by the employers, for the reason that ths "battle1 has been characterised by peaceful and legal methods, this feature of the contest has added much to the literature snd history of the injunction and-has further served to arouse ths conscience of the people and make It clear that the courts ia at tempting to restrict the lights and liberties of a class ere really placing la Jeopardy society as a whole." Reference was made in the report to the alleged importation of British non unlonlst printers by the master printers of Winnipeg in their efforts to defeat the eight-hour day movement. The president urged thst the convention, representing the printers of the United States snd Canada, should gtva Indorse ment to the recommendation made by the deputy minister of labor so that affective legislation In Great Britain may be enacted and In the future pro tect both Canadian and ' United States tollers from ths "misrepresentation and deceit practiced by employers In their deelre to defeat strikes and prevent the realisation of the aspirations of . ths organised wage-earners on the ' North American continent" t..i President - Lynch ' expressed satlsfao tlon with ths workings of the arbitra tion agreemsnt In effect between the International union and the American Newspaper Publishers' sssoclstlon. Other matters treated In ' tha ' presi dent's report were the affairs of tha union printers' home, stated to be in a satlsfsctory condition: government ownership of the telegraph, trade and technical schools, snd the relief ex tended by the union to the sufferers ef the SsM Prsnclsoo disaster. . . The report of J. M. B ram wood, serre-tary-treasurer, - showed that the re, celpte from June 1. .101, to. May It, ltoc. were l,0ts,Ttl and the expendi tures 1M4.744. . . For the first time In several years the average paying membership for the fiscal year shows a decrease rather than an Inorease. The falling off Is slight; however, and Is ths natural result of the heavy assessment levied on the membership , during the eight-hour struggle. , , The present total membership is 44. 10 typographical.
