RAILROAD ACCOUNTANTS They Meet and Discuss Matters of Much Interest, Lively Debute as to a Resolution Re- ferring to Claims for Loss or Damage to Freight. A hundred or more gentlemen employed in the auditing departments of the great railroad companies of the country spent this morning in animated discussion at Willard’s Hall. They were members of the Association of American Railway Account- ants, an organization which was formed seven years ago for the purpose of promot- ing uniformity and obtaining a higher standard in the system of keeping railway accounts. The convention began yesterday, but no business of importance was trans- acted, owing to an early adjournment on account of the character of the day. To- ‘8 session was devoted entirely to the consideration of a recommedation that the accounting di its of railroads be given control of the claims for loss and ne body “a which are now attended and se! the eral it de- partments of the compantes. see Mr. Sturgis’ Resolution, Mr. W. H. Sturgis presented a resolution reciting that it was the sense of the asso- ciation that the accounting department was the proper department to take charge of and settle all claims from loss oz damage. He spoke strongly in favor of the adoption of the measure and when he had concluded a number of amend- ments and substitute resolutions were presented by various delegates, all of which Scught to detine in detail the new duties of accounting officers should claims be placed under their supervision. Such mass of matter of this character was fered that a proposition was made to post- pone the consideration of the entire sub- ject to a future meeting. Mr. Sturgis op- posed this suggestion on the ground that the matter had been under consideration by the association for the past five years and to defer it further would be a con- fession of weakness. The motion to post- pone was voted down heavily and the convention took up the various resolutions and amendments seriatim in the order of Votes followed votes in rapid succession until it became evident that ro final decision could be reached on the main subject. Decided Difierences of Opin: * Explanations and counter explanations were made by the delegates who believed they had discovered the proper solution of the problem, but while all seemed to agree that the accounting departments should set- tle all lost and damage freight claims no one appeared to be able to suggest the way it could be done. At last, nowever, the and resolutions were adopted declaring that “it is the sense of this association that the accounting department is the proper depart- ment to investigate and decide the settle- nent of overcharge freight claims.” In addition to this a resolution, presented by Mr. Whitehead, was aiso passed, declar- ing that “‘in view of the vote approving the investigation and settlement of overcharge claims by the accounting department it is resolved that it is the sense of this asso- ciation that it will be more expedient and economical to investigate and settle loss and damage freight claims through the ac- | counting department, reference being made to the proper departments when necessary.” A volley of applause greeted the announce- ment of the vote by which the last resolu- tion was adopted. Committee’s Action Approved. A resolution presented at the last meeting of the association by Mr. S. C. Johnson, de- claring that it was not desirable for one road to charge another with any proportion of a freight claim without first obtaining authority from the debtor road, and which had been referred to the executive commit- tee, was reported adversely. A letter waa read from Mr. Johnson, which led to a mo- tion to refer the proposition back to the ex- ecutive committee for further action, but after discussion this was refused, and the action of the committee approved. A letter was read from J. L. Graham, claim agent of the Central Railroad and Banking Company of Georgia, suggesting that after claims have been investigazed and authorities passed, the initial line shail charge direct to each road the amount of its | Individual indebtedness, attaching to au- thority of such road a voucher receipted by the initial line, in whose custody the original papers shall be retained. This method is somewhat similar to the plan of auditing coupon tickets. Mr. Greham, who ed to be in the hall, was given the privileges of the floor, and described the advantages of the system he proposed in an interesting manner. He was given close attention, and at the conclusion of his remarks the suggestion Was referred to a committee of five for in- vestigation, with directions to confer with the Freight Claims Association and report to the next annual meeting of the associa- tion, whereupon a recess wes taken. -_— ON SCATTERED GRAVES. Honor Paid Yesterday to Others Than Warriors. The grave of Betsy Ross, who made the first American flag in the dilapidated bcfid- ing, still standing on Arch street, Phila- | delphia, honored yesterday with a sa-| jute of musketry, an offering of blossoms and the national banner. The newly made grave of Mrs. Martha J. Kimball, who first proposed Decoration day in the north to Gen. Logan in 1867, was likewise honored. The resting place of Boatswrin Riggin, who was killed during the attack upon American marines at Valparaiso and who was brought home to Philadelphia and buried with impressive ceremonies about two years ago, Was the scene of another memorial service, concludirg with a volley of muskett ‘ Two heavy marble slabs, with their in- scriptions almost obliterated, cover the tombs of Benjamin Franklin end bis wife in the graveyard of old Christ Church. These were almost hidden beneath flowers and patriotic emblems. Garlands, greens and banners ornamented the statue of Washington a: Independence Square. Fhe Lincoln siatv= in Fairmount Park and the graves of Commodores Por- ter, Barry and Decatur and Gens. Meade, Tyndale and Birney were among the thou- sands of other spots honored. Gettysburg Battlefield. The memorial exercises at Gettysburg were better attended than for several years past, at least 3,000 sirangers visiting the city. Jacob Kitzmiller acted os grand mar- shal of the procession, which was compesed of Grand Army of the Republic posts, Sins of Veterans and other arganizations. fir flowers were strewn over the graves of the dead soldiers in the national cemetery Congressman Dolliver of Iowa delivered an oration. The exercises in the cemetery in- cluded an invocation by the Rev. T. P. Ege and a benediction by the Rev. Hugh Gil- christ. John Brown’s Grave Decorated. At North Elba, N. Y., the grave of John Brown, who led the invasion at Harper's Ferry, was decorated yestertay. Though it rained the celebration was one of the largest ever seen at the grave of Brown. Among those who attended were hund eds - guests visiting-at the hotels in the vi- cinity. 200 “I Told You So.” To the Editor ef The Evening Star: Fifteen-years ago, as editor of the Oko- lona (Miss.) States, I was Howled and — Au a North and south, by press, peo- ple and politicians, for uttering the very sentiments that R. C. Cave uttered on the oceasion of the unveiling of the confederate monument at Richmond, Va., the other day, In the new constitution of Alissisafppi is another vindication of mine. Therein the negro ts virtually disfranchised, Therein the Black and | Beastly Amendments to the immortal charter, known as the Constitution of the United States, receive a Bloody and Biistering Blow between the eyes, showing that the thing you call @ “nation” is no nation at all, but simply an agent of forty-four na- tionalities, known as states. The right of a negro to vote; the right of @ part of these states to coerce others in- to union, are wrongs that, through the eternal vengeance of things, are working to the ends that I foresaw in 1879. I stand back from all politics today, and laugh to see the bigwigs and littlewigs fighting the inevitable.
