General Charles F. Sherman, of Xew Vork, commander in chief of the Sons of Veterans, is here today "to institute the first camp of the Junior Order Sons of Veterans. Sixty Scranton boys, sons and grand tons of Union soldiers in the Civil war, have already joined the camp, and ihey have decided to name it in honor of the commander in chief, the "Charles F. Sherman camp, Xo. 1.

Junior Order Sons of Veterans." Commander Sherman explained today the aims and purposes of the new order. Its ranks are open only to lineal de scendants of Union soldiers and its aims are to inculcate patriotism in the boy be tween the age of twelve and eigntecn 1 years, when he is most open to the good influence of organization, and to keep green the memory of the slain soldiers in the war and to honor the veteran alive or dead. The commander said the new order will not conflict or be in any way antagoniS' tic to the Boy Scout movement, which ha declared to be one of the greatest move ments for rood the country has ever seen. The Boy Scout organization, he said, is doing more for the future men of the country than any other organiza tion. The Junior camp will be restricted in membership to descendants of vet erans, but a Junior may belong to the Boy Scouts.

It is the purpose to continue the order of boys indefinitely, always restricting ihe membership, however. The boys on must o'romise that at the age of eighteen they will join the Sons of Veterans. Tn a number of other cities, prejimi nary organization of Junior camps has horn nerfeeted and the campy will be instituted as soon as the commander in or the division commanders may visit them. The institution of the local Camp tonight will be at Memorial hall. vnd will be followed by a banquet served iw i.nHif.' auxiliary of the Sons of Veterans.

Col. J. M. Reed, of Philadel phia, will lecture on his reminiscences of the Civil war. Commander Sherman is the originator of the Junior camp idea, and is giving all the time he can spare to the successful launching of the movement.

(Ey mail to New York) Russian soldiers are quite as prone to nickname their generals aa are the lighters of other countries. Most of the names find their origin in some physical or mental characteristic of tho subject.

For instance, Grand Duke I Nicolas, the giant commander in chiof, obviously could not escape the appcla tion "Big Nick." ueneral IvanofT, who commands in the southwest, is. called 'Turcoman," because of his very black beard. For General Ruzski, now commanding the northwest group of armies, there are several nicknames. The best known is "the scholarly private," but this, it appears was invented by an officer. Soldiers call him "Yellow Tire." The general's motor car ilost a wheel, and the on the new wheel is bright yellow.

The Austrian generals is best known to the Russian soldiers are Generals Dankl and General von Hoetzcndorf. Danki is called "the fox," and alos "General Spasibo." "Spasibo" is Russian tor "Thanks." The soldiers confuse his name with the German "Danke," tho first word they hear from Austrian prisoners to whom they have shown attention. Genera? Conrad Is Vienna." KKI'OHT SHII't xnsu IIUX.

ravriAN S. P. the I While conceding that Clause Xo. of the agreement between the mayor and officials of the Peoples Coal company relative to mining in West Scranton gives all that the pity can hope to secure by its present injunction suit. At torneys George L.

Feck and H. e. Reynolds, of the Surface association, in council yesterday raised some objections to the agreement and asked time to study the legal problems involved' and present the engineering problems to the association's mining engineers. John F. Durkan, president of the association, disagreed with his counsel and demanded that the city go through with the present injunction suit Council, however, listened to the plea of the attorneys and re fused to take action until they have had time to study the agreement Among the interesting points made by the attorneys in their discussion of the agreement were the following: That there is nothing in the agreement to prevent the Peoples Coal company from mining the sub pillars in the lower veins and thus cause the flushing to slump.

That the agreement fails to require the coal company to furnish maps of its workings, which should be done. That the agreement should have been signed by all coal companies mining under city streets to give the widest possible protection to the city. That the city has no right, by agreement, to allow the Peoples company to mine fifty per cent of the coal on either side of Xorth and South Main avenue, for ww reet, because most of that coal is owned by private persons or belongs to tne commonwealth, That state laws should be amended to require coal companies about to mine un der the streets of a municipality to give ininy days notice of such intention so that the city can start injunction action before the mining is commenced. That the gangway system proposed in the agreement touches private interests and if driven as planned might destroy lateral, suppo ts to those properties, such as the Simpson M. E.

church and otner privately owned The agreement and the lottr of thai mayor asking I adoption were read as! the third order of business at the regu lar session or coimcil, and then recess was taken by committee to enable the attorneys to be heard.

Council by unanimous action yesterday passed the Saville resolution directing the proper city officials to hrinir suit a'cainst the Peoples Coal company to collect damages for the Injury done to streets in West Scranton "through the mine caves. Th's action was taken after councilmen reached the conclusion that the bringing of such a suit would not in any way affect Vie agreement between the I kl.l, 1. MA. mayor ana tne company wui pending in council or the Davis mine cave" law sases.

The agreement under discussion only provided for the company reimbursing the city in case of future damage to the streets while the Saville resolution calls on the city officials to bring suit for dam ages inflicted the past. City Solicitor D. J. Davis has already indiated that he will not obey the mandate, unless the mayor orders him to and the mandate therefore is squarely up to the mayor. It is contended that the resolution is as bind ing as a city ordinance and therefore the mayor or the solicitor has no alternative but to enforce it.

MINERS WILL SHARE III BENEFITS UNDER THE COMPENSATION ACT (Centfaaed From rage One) that the miners are certificated to them by the state, being employed by the mine foremen, and the laborers are employed 'by the contract miners, so that, no matter what the circum stances, the company has escaped re sponniility for injury to the men during mining. Section 303 of the proposed act is as follows: ls to Employer, Section 203 An employer who permits the entry upon premises occupied by him, or under hia control, of a laborer or an assistant hired by an employe or contractor for the performance, upon such premises, of a part of the employers regular business, entrusted to such employe or contractor, shall be liable to such laborer or assistant in the same manner and Xo the same extent 'as to his own employes. The section 203 was incorporated into the governor's measure purely to solve the question in the mining industry and to give the miner and his the same ri, ht to claim damages personal injury' extended to other employments is indicated In an explanation sent out from Hits executive office today. On this point the explanation reads: The Esplaaatlaa.

In otbrr flelia i.f industry, a similar condition prevails, Wherever an employe is paid by the piece, it Is customary to allow him to engage his own helpers, and these helpers are not uriuer contract directly with the owners of the business.
