TIME FFLT TRIP i-SVf*,C m jA * l"s j Trooper* Cheer Even Street Car* In Joy at Return 'From Pour Months , on Mexican Border--Relative* ^ ^ Greet the Boys. 't ;Vi :^v,' Chicago.--The First Illinois cavalry 3 filled through Chicago on its way to tte mustering out camp at Fort Sherl- dan. This crack regiment was the last of the Illinois unit that went to the border four months ago to be recalled. vV They entered Chicago cheering the > name of every street car they passed 'en route, i , p?.: V little time was given the wives and families of the troopers to greet the returning soldiers. • -Jhe- troop f- ;v. trains stayed la. Chicago only a few ; minutes and tiien proceeded to Fort Sfcteridan, whep(i the regiment will re- main eiicjxttiij^l until mustered -out of §|i*e the fej&ral service. The cavalry ar- jf" rived in four sections. / ,'v X< The tri;> from Brownsville, Tex., <f-^y'was made without serious accident. t Men and horsey arrived in excellent v condition--and every man glad to be §' home. Fresh food was furnished the sol- v diers throughout the entire trip and flfcv. every comfort that was practical 'fel-i* was theirs. Tourist sleepers served as quarters for the enlisted men. The officers were allotted standard sleepers. ' . ' A snowstorm, which the troop train encountered at Champaign al- most caused a riot, according to sev­ eral members of the headquarters staff, From a temperature in the nineties at Brownsville last Tuesday, when the regiment entrained for home, to a snowstorm was too sudden a change for men. At Kankakee several hours' delay was caused when Colonel Foreman stopped the train and or­ dered overcoats unpacked from the box cars ahead. Twelve hundred and fotxr men and officers returned with the regiment. Five hundred horses were also brought back. This number is all the war department allows a regiment at its peace strength, which is 32 horses to a troop. ^ "We had a most delightful trip," said Colonel Foreman. "The boys had a holiday at New Orleans and a half day at Memphis. The horses were de­ trained three times en route. The food has been ample and well served.1^ Illinois Named as Leader?*' "• The efficiency with which Illinois civil service examinations are handled is shown by a report. Just Issued by the New York state civil service com­ mission. This shows that Illinois leads the commissions of the country, having examined 12,033 applicants during 1915, with only 13 employees In the of­ fice handling the work. This is at an average rate of 925 candidates per em­ ployee in the civil service office. New York state follows closely with an average of 922, but the difference in favor of Illinois is much greater when the number of persons actually employed on examination work is con­ sidered. At the time the figures were prepared New York had 12 employees on examination work alone, each han­ dling an average of 1.921 candidates per year, while Illinois was handling its work with only two employees on examination work, averaging oyer 6,000 papers apiece. Other states fall far below these two In the figures reported, Ohio, with many mora employees than .Illinois, doing, less than one-fourth as much work. ? &.--••• V ,5|U i1; ̂ ' * ' V f"fK „ If?:"- 5 • r. • If tr * I .

Springfield.--The state centennial commission met in the state historical library at the statehouse to figure out the budget to be presented to the Fif­ tieth general assembly. While no exact figures have been given out. It is known that the commis­ sion expects to ask the legislature for about $2,000,000. The commission plans to erect a cen­ tennial memorial building at an esti­ mated cost of $1,000,000. The fur­ nishings of the building, expenses of the commission and other expenditures are expected to make up the other mil­ lion, The need of more space for state de­ partments Is being felt more and more each day. The remodeling of the fourth, fifth and sixth floors of the statehouse this summer relieved the strain temporarily, but it will return again, officials figure, within a year. Peter A. Waller, chairman of the committee on the centennial memorial building, is sending out a form letter to all members and prospective mem­ bers of the general assembly, urging them to support the bill to be intro­ duced, authorizing the committee to construct the building. The commis­ sion expects no real opposition to this plan. Regarding the building Waller says: **It is above all, the desire of the commission that Illinois shali erect some permanent memorial in commem­ oration of its century, of progress; and as the capitol building Is already over­ crowded, It seems that it would be wise and practical to erect a beautiful building in Springfield, adjacent to the state capitol, a building which will be architecturally correct and impressive as a centennial memorial building; a building worthy to be the state's en­ during monument of its centennial an­ niversary. The building may be used for the state historical library collec­ tions, a hall of archives, historical mu­ seum, the department of education, and such allied Interests as may be expedient. "Additional room in the state capitol l» an absolute necessity. The opportu­ nity of erecting a worthy memorial of our state's centennial Is at hand. These War on Meter Charges. The custom of charging '•« m&nthly rental for electric and gas meters has met the disapproval of the Illinois pub­ lic utilities commission,-and the com­ mission during the last year has lent its influence toward a total elimina­ tion of what they have called "an un­ fairly discriminatory meter rental charge." "During the last few years, among smaller utilities in particular, a cus­ tom has grown of making an extra charge of 25 cents a month for each meter on a consumer's premises owned by the utility," says a statement of the commission. "This meter rental charge is usually !n addition to an ade­ quate minimum monthly charge." The commission has taken the posi­ tion that a meter is a portion of the equipment which should be furnished by the utility without cost to the con­ sumer. Automobile il&feidty Weapon. In dismissing the petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed by George Har­ ris of Chicago, the Illinois supreme court held an automobile can be a deadly weapon. Cor.rad Schick of Chi­ cago was struck by an automobile driven by Harris. Schick charged it was deliberate and that Harris used the automobile as a deadly weapon. Harris was convlctej and sentenced to the reformatory at I'ontlac. Teachers Retired on Pensions.
