TWO NORWICH NAMES FOR OFFICERS' MEMORIAL HALL (Special to The Bulletin) New York, Aug. 20.—Believing that the official casualty report issued at Washington by the adjutant general can be supplemented to a great extent by friends, next of kin, and organizations with which the deceased were identified, the Army and Navy Club of America is ‘endeavoring through correspondence to compile a qomplete, authentic list of the officers who died in the World ‘War. > The names, with other data beariig qn civil and’ military life of the men who made the supreme sacrifice, willl be preserved in a $3,000,000 memorial hall and offigars clubhouse to be erecied in New York city. Plans for the rme- morial which will be in the nature ol a great patriotic center, were annour: nounced a few days ago by Rear Ad- miral Bradley A. Fiske, U. S. N. retired, president of the club. -.In the list of casualties issued at Washington, Connecticut is credited with 48 officers who lost their lives. Of this number 21 were Killed in action, 7 died of wounds, 8 of disease, 9 of ac- cident and the remainder of undeterm- ined causes. The toll paid by the city of -New Haven was 7. Hartford alsa lost T Practically every section of the state is represented in the list. While other organizations are included in the casu- alties of officer dead from Connecticut, the Yankee division of course shows the majority of losses. The record is a silent testimonial to the gallantry of that fam- ous division, a unmit with eighteen months of constant service to its credit. Norwich will be represented in the memorial hall by Lieut. William Cheney Brown, 248 Broadway, Le- roy A. Swan, There are on file at the avy Club's headquarters, Avenue thesnames of 58 officer dead from Connecticut, although the official list issued by the adjutant general at ‘Washington gives the number of casu- alties from 'that state - a 48. Other name are believed to be missing and ef- w and Lieut. ‘Washington street. Army and 261 Madison forts are being made by the club to secure them through relatives and friends. The cooperation of the families of the deceased and of organizations including clubs, lodges, ‘fraternities, business con- cern and church i requested in order to make the file a accurate as possible. Questionnaires have been mailel to the next of kin of all officers whose names are now on the club file, and simjar action will be taken immediately on re-{ ceipt of additions to the list. In this way it is hoped to secure sufficient ma- terial to compile a complete record of the service of each officer. Admiral Fiske earnest desires that all persons who lost som, brother or rela- tives who were officers in the war, com- municate “with him at 261 Madison av- enne. Leading architects In the country, working {n_competition, will submit the plans for the building. The structure probably ‘will be erected around a cen- tral court or hall with bronze paneled walls where the names and records of the 3500- officers who died will be en- graved. While the memorial feature Wil pre- ominate, the fact is- stressed that the ilding will contain all the comforts and conveniences of a modern club- housé. There will be 400 bedrooms and a large dorimtory where officers pass- ing through New York may always find accommodations. A library and reading rooms, reception rooms. mem's dining room with a private dining room for la- dies a large auditorium for patriotic assemblages or balls, and many other interesting details are to be incorporated in_the plans. Nearly 200,000 officers in all branches] of the service were commissioned dur- ing the war. These are eligible to mem- bership, as well as all other officers, including the state militia. There also an associate memberhip open to ci- ans who are interested in the pro- gress of the army and navy. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt heads the committee of patriotic women who will! help sponsor the movement. Other com- mittees with chairmen follow: Civilian, Henry P. Davidson; Army, Gen. Leon ard Wood; navy. Admiral William S. Sims; life membership, Col. John W. Prentiss. According to Admiral Fiske. all the charges of the clubhouse will be ex- ceedingly moderate, in. keeping With the limited incomes of the men of the army and navy. It is the aim of the organi- zations committee, he said, to make the building a home for officers, who here- tofore have found the problem of a stay in New York a very setious matter be cause of the exceeding high cost of ho- tel accommodations.

ILLINOIS FARMERS TAKE CENSUS OF FREIGHT CARS Chicago Aug. 20.—The first survey of freight cars ever taken by the farmers of a state has just been completed through tne Illinois = Agricultural Asspciation, Secretary D.

The relatively low. prices prevailing have been in goodly measure a result of the inability to obtain’ credits. “Tne’ present fipancial situation, how- ever, followipg on the heels of severe drouths in both the Southwest and Northiwest is bringing. about a reduction of the. cattle population which must in the end mean mounting beef prices and nation-wide econémig loss. “On a recent trip through west Texas and New Mexico, I had occasion to oh- serve that many pastures were unstock- ed or thinly stocked, and inquiry de- veloped the fact that owners were anx- ious to stock and had plenty of security but_could obtain no loans. “Many cattlemen wnose ranches were stocked were being compelled to liqui- date, and thousands of cattle which| should normally be used for breedirig, or at least for development into finished beef, were being sold for slaughter. “The sheep-raising interests of the San Angelo country. are even more seri- ously threatened than the cattle inte- rests. This is due in part to the finan- cial sringency, and is having its bear- ing on the cattle situation. “The principal factor in the sheep ; men's problem, nowever, appears to be the virtual withdrawal of the wool buy-! ers from the market. The wool cropl this year 4in the San Angelo territory is estimated at between 8,000,000 and 9,- 000,000 pounds, an increase of about 3, 000000 over former years, “Comparatively little qf that has been marketed because the buyers, hav- ing comfortable stocks on hand, are not offering anythnig like a fair price. The growers are endeavoring to hold, and have several million pounds stored at San Angelo and neighboring -points. TO SPEED DEVELOPMENT today. On ‘the basis of this census he said Illinois farmers did not believe there wa a car shortage. The trouble With tranportation he characterized as immobility” and he declyred the farmers meant to find out whose fault it was. Secretary Thompson said the assoc! ation undertook its census after receiv- ing reports from farmers over the state that tney saw many cars standing idle on country tracks. “Members of the association made daily records of the car initials and numbers” of all cars at 494 stations lo- cated in 46 different counties for seven consecutive days,” the state farm bu- Teau executive said. “Of these 484 stations, 146 or 29.5 per cent. reported some of the cars on tracks the last day of the count as were on the tracks the first day of the count. “At all stations, 9,294 cars were listed the fidst day and of these cars, £38 out of 9,294 cars har not been mov- ed from the country point for seven consecutive days. This' is just a little over 10 per cent. of the cars at such points. “No count was made in Chicago. In several otner large yards the associa- tion enumerators were ejected from the ards by railroad officials. “Mine operators say they were forc- ed to idleness many days each week leading to the strike of the miners which recently tied up tne mines just when the farmers were Meeding coal for threshing. At this same time before the strike in Christian county, at Clarksdale and at Willeys, two trains of coal cars totaling 53 cars were reported empty at both first and last days of the count. “If we may take the total number of freight cars of tne country on December 31, 1918, as a basis for computation OF ALASKA'S RESOURCES Minneapolis, Minn,, *Aug. - 20.—John Barton Payao,jsecretary of the interior, who passed through here with Secretary Dinlels upon theic, feturn from .

But- Alaska is not te be developed by locking it up. A stret conservatlon policy cannot be ap- plied to a ‘mew country- scantily settled Which must increase its population by| wsig its resources. I believe that for a and consider that the percen’age of im- mobility of cars is as great in Chicago, Toledo and ,New York as in country points like Clarksdale, Fidelity and Low Point it is very moderate when we say that the total number of new cars which the railroads say they need to meet the transportation requirements of the pres- ent moment, is not a patch to the oal of immobile cars now idling by _ the weeks and months in terminal yards on side tracks at country points. “Tnis survey shows pretty clearly to the farmers of Illinois the excuse of ‘car shortage’ is largely camouflage, glv en to-cover up some real, deeper reason for the present transportation ineffi clency.

While ‘the bell of St John's Roman Catholic cathedral, where the services wefe held, was tolling, thousands of per- | sons stood with bare heads as the body of Chapman, who died in New York last Tuesday, the victim of a pitched ball there Monday, was carried to. the altar and the last rites of the church were said: It was the largest funeral in Cleveland in years and not since the visit here of Cardinal Mercier, hero of Belgium, has| such a mass of people attempted to enter the cathedral. Long before the services started thou- sands of persons congregated in the vi- cinity of the church awaiting the arrival of the casket and unable to gain admis- sion to the church. Tears were in the eyes of men, women and children in the throng, which was so dense that mounted police. and patrolmen strove almost in vain to keep streets open to traffic. The service, a solemn high requiem mass, started at 10.15. Rev. Father W. S. Nash was the celebrant, and_the sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. Wil- liam A. Scullen, chancellor of the dio- cese, who paid Chapman an eloquent tribute. Dr. Scullen’s tribute to Chapman as a man ‘and a ball player, and his words of comfort to the immediate relatives, brought tears to the eves of thousands in the church. Chapman’s widow, a bride of ' ten months, leaning on the arm of her father, entered the church immediately after the casket, which was horne by Chapman'’s closest friends on the team and in Cleve- land.. The ball player's parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Chapman, his brother Roy and sister Margaret followed. B. B. Johnson, president of the Amerl- can league, and James C. Dunn, president of the Cleveland team, were among the first fo reach the church. Several other club officials and players were present, including three ‘from the New York Americans. The members of the Cleveland team arrived from New York this morning to attend. the funeral, today’s game at Bos- ton having - been postponed. Manager Tris Speaker and Outfielder Jack Graney collapsed and could mot attend the ser- vices. Graney had recovered sufficiently, however, to leave for Bostgn - tonight with the team. Speaker had a high fever tonight and did not go east. . He may leave tomorrow. Tho Cleveland players ~on _arriving went to the home of M. B. Daly, Chap- man's father-in-law, and viewed the body qf their fellow player. They ac- companied . the funeral party. to the church in zutomobiles and marched in pairs into the cathedral. Some of the players were -accompanied by theig wives. All classes and walks of life were rep- resented in the crowded church, Bankers and brokers rubbed elbows with laborers and newsboys. The crowd was made up of men. women and childzen from all parts of the city and fram' other’ cities, all gathered to pay their respects to the dead. Every foot of space in the church was occupied. including the 'aisles, the sanctuary and_communion rail. Mayor ‘W, S. Fitzgerald was absent from ‘the city today, but Law Director Woods, acting maycr, several members of the' mayor’s cabimet and several city councilmen attended the service. “At the conclusion of the church séreive tho body was placed in a cemetery vault.
