The commandant's order is as fol lows: - . "The superlvsory force in all shops will see that visitors don't make sketches unless they have a permit. "If they r.ee any one so doing they will inform them politely that It ii prohibited. i (Signed) "E. H. C. Leutze, Captain, U. 8. A. commandant and superin tendent, naval gun factory."

An Earlier Report. Chicago. July 13. -After a series of interviews between Preston Gib son, his wife and their respective lawyers, the clubman and golfer seems to have become satisfied with the terms of settlement offered him and it is believed he will make no farther opposition to tho quiet issu ance of a 'hill of divorce to his wife, which will pive her the custody ot . their four-year-old child.

Young Patterson's sudden and memorable resignation from office, his "profession of socialism, a sud den flying visit of his sister Eleanor, the beautiful Countess Gizyckl, to Chicago, and an avowed determina lion on the part of Gibson to shoot Patterson arc all said to have fol lowed this carefully guarded occur rence which was staged at the fash ionable Moraine Hotel in Highland .Park.-'..
