The Canteen Question and Statue to Wirz Promise Debates. By Private Leased Wire. Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 16.—This morning the delegate body of the for tieth national % encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic wai called to order by Commander-In-Chief Ton* ner. The morning session was largely taken up with work of the committee on credentials and the annual report of the commander-ln-chief will come late in the morning session or early in the aft^Hioon. The canteen question for the Sol diers' Home Is almost certain to he brought up and the question of taking some action about the monument to Wirs will also be a subject that will cause excitement If It is allowed to come before the encampment. It Is hardly expected that the election of officers will be reached today Should business'at the afternoon ses sion be light, the first ballot for com- mander-ln-chlef may be taken, but It is more likely that all voting will be postponed until tomorrow. It looks like R. D. Brown, of Zanc$ ville, Ohio, will be the next comman der-1 n-chlef. Atlanta, Ga., Is tho latest bidder for the next encampment, but Saratoga will probably land it.

By Prlrnte refined Wire. New York, Aug. 16.— 1 Throngs of men and women Interested In the crusade against bucket shops, gathered In the police court of the Tombs today when the prisoners taken In the recent raids were arraigned. This Is the first big sweeping attack against the bucket shops of New York. In a raid ordered by Assistant Dis trict Attorney Garvan and made per sonally by Detective Sergeant Convllle, four men have been taken Into custody as . being directors of the John A. Boardman Company of Philadelphia, with branch pfflpes In New York. 8«y Al. Adams Is Bscktr. Of the four prisoners, Frederick Bloomfield, James Htockwell, George J. Tdmer and William H. LHIIs, the district attorney’s office points out that Turner nnd Lillis ure the original mem bers of the notorious Haight & Freeze Company. Hard ui>on this comes the news that the police are making a close investi gation of "M. J. Sage & Company," a firm of "hankers and brokers” In this city, who u writer In a magazine has flatly accused not only of running a bucket shop, but of being In name merely a covering for the operations of the notorious former policy' king, Al. Adams. Is Sophia Beck In Gams? It Is declared that Adams’ wealth backs the enterprise, and that a term In state’s prison has had no salutary effect upon the man whom the Judge who sentenced him declared him to be "the meanest man In New York." The police believe Sophia Beck, the "Queen of the Confidence Men," smart, unscrupulous, wonderful Sophia Heck —who has revelled In wealth, been re duced to- poverty and then been In swindling schemes and forced her way hack to wealth again, time nnd again, in her life, Is mixed up with the game. She is ntlll In her thirties ami a wom an of especial beauty anti fascination.
