Mrs. Dunn, Treasurer of the Local Encampment, Insixsted on Custody of Entertainment Funds. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Chio, September 23.—The National Encampment ef the Ludies’ Aux- iliary of the Union Veteran Legion, in ses- sion here, yesterday revoked the charter of Encampment No. 32 of Washington, D. C. ‘The matter is likely to result in a bitter fight. It grows out of an entertainment given by ladies of Washington for the bene- fit of the encampment some time ago, whica netted quite a handsome sum. ‘The treasurer, Mrs. Tena Dunn, claimed that all the money taken in should be turned over to-her, and she demanded it. The financial committee refused, and, as a counter, recommended that Miss Dunn's bond be raised. This sie refused, and thus the matter stood, the animosity growing all the time until now. Mrs. Dunn fs not here, but Mrs. Ellen Mussey, a lawyer of Wash- ington, is on haud to argue the case. An effort is being made to keep the matter quiet, but this’much leaked out through the doors of the executive session. The case before the national convention of the Union Veteran Legion, in which the name of Mrs. Tena Dunn, tormerly of Aux- iliary No. 32 of this city has beer mention- ed, grows out, primarily, of an entertain- ment given here for the benefit of the aux- iliary more than a year ago. Mrs. Dunn was at the time treasurer of the organization, and although there was not at any time more than a trifling sum of money in her hands, she voluntarliy gave a bond to the auxiliary for the faith- ful performance of her duties. ‘The entertainment above referred to re- sulted in considerable financial benefit to the auxiliary, but when the time came to deposit the money—about $100—in bank, the president of the organization, Mrs. Celynda Werner Ford, in whose hands the money was placed while the fair was in progress, declined to transfer it to Mrs. Dunn, and let her place it in bank as had been her custom with all of the auxiliary’s money theretofore. It was explained that the proposed action of the president meant no disrespect to Mrs. Dunn, and was really a matter of pride with the former, she desiring to de- Posit the money herself. However, a terri- ble row followed. ‘The presideut insisted upon her view of the cass, and also that Mrs. Dunn’s bond >be inc: bend. A bitter factional quarrel followed. Meanwhile, the money remained subject to the direction of the president. When the Soon after the adjournment of the na- Sisit elena of the Ladies’ Auxiliary, Mrs. Ford, as president of Auxiliary 82, tried tried Mrs. Dunn for os give the bond demanded by the former and former expelled Mrs. decision at th Auxiliary No. The report was signed by Hattie M. Mil- ler, national president, Ladies of the Union Veteran Legion; Elizabeth P. Green, chair- man advisory board; Katheryn C. Bogart, member of the board; Lottie B. McCaffrey, national treasurer, and Ira M. Gardner, ational secretary. For refusing to read the above decision the charter of Auxiliary No. 82 was re- ed and a suspension of t ectings ordered. The members of N. ve, how- ever, paid no attention to the national pres- ident’s order. In announcing their decision, the national advisory board stated that they found that the action of the said auxiliary in giving ot the said Tena Dunn a discharge as a penalty upon a presumption of guilt only is in violation of the laws and rules of the order; also, further, that the said auxiliary erred in giving the said Sister Dunn a dis- and that their action was null and iso that in deposing Mrs. Dunn as. surer for refusing to give an increased bond. after having accepted and approved her bond as treasurer, they acted in an illegal manner. “It is therefore ordered by the board that all proceedings by said auxiliary under the said charge be, and the same are, hereby set aside and annulled.” Mrs. Ferd having refused to grant Mrs. Dunn’s request for an hcnorable discharge, the latter so informed the national presi- dent, who sent the desired document to Mrs. Dunn. 2 next regular “meeting of seasonabfe and dependable merchan- privilege. of our liberal credit systera by which you may arrange For this privilege you pay nothing—and make the cloghing, etc. eee eee ee ee 8 eee eek ee ee ee ee a ee eee mense business. jobody sells equal grades for so Boys’ Deck and bine and fancy cheviot = Jackets—pants have double seats and knees ee —Ttalian cloth Lning—the $5 suits else- Young men’s long pants sults of fine Wack and blue and fency cheviots and cassimeres ag i patterns entirely divorced from the boys’ BUF whch well for $6.50 about town— "bere for $4.90.

DISCRIMINATING DUTIES. Senator Elkins Preparing a BU Embody His Views. Senator Elkins of West Virginia writes to correct misapprehension that he claim- ed the authorship of section 22 of the tariff law. A number of his colleagues had been interested with him in framing it, he said, and e entitled to such credit as the public should give it. “The movement in behalf of a discrim- inating tariff provision will go steadily fcrward,” said Mr. ins, “and there will be no halt until adequate protection is se- cured for our American shipping and against the privileges of the Canadian rail- roads. The first thing I will do on the re- | assembling of Congress will be.to present a bill providing for the discriminatory duties which it had been hoped would be secured by section 22 of the tariff act. I am preparing the bill, and it is about half completed.” —————_—_+ e+ —_____ Mr. DI a jew Duties, Mr. W. H.
