I mttm VOLUME XII. ATLANTA, GA_ TUESDAY, JULY 1, 1913. NO. 80. ILI AGAIN OVER FIELDS OF 0LDJ3ETTYSBURG Reveille Monday Found Great Camp of Blue and Gray Awake Already—Rebel Yell Is Echoed by Yankee Shout GETTSBURG, Va., June 30.—Twenty- five thousand veterans in blue and gray were today on the field of Gettysburg to the call of reveille and the rattle of pots and pans in a score of mess tents. Veterans who sat about camp fires until late at night, were up long before sun-up. singing songs of wartime, and the wide streets of the tented city echoed with the "rebel yell” and the hoarser shout of his "yankee” brother. The regular army men in charge of the camp expected 15,000 veterans to come into Gettysburg today, and by tonight they will be prepared to tent and mess more than 40,000 men. Just jas soon as the rations of bacon, and eggs and coffee, "fruit in season," fresh bread and butter, were disposed of in the way all good soldiers dispose of them", the real inspection of the battle field and the retelling of the story of Gettysburg began, with all the pointed criticism that the private soldier knows so well how to make. “X ain't seen a reb yet who didn’t, charge Round Top and take it all by himself,” said a lanky Southerner as he wandered into the quarters of the Penn sylvania cintingent. “No, and I ain’t sen a yank who didn’t break up Pickett's charge by his own self,” said a smiling Pennsylvanian as they shook hands. THOSE WHO STARTED FIGHT ' The only set event tod'ay was the joint reception by the survivors , of General Buford’s cavalry and the South erners of General Wheeler’s cavalry to the citizens of-Gettysburg. It was Bu ford who discovered the gray army ad vancing on Gettysburg on the morning of July 1, fifty years ago, and the pick et who first .saw the scouts of Lee swinging up the Chambersburg pike fired the first shot of the greatest battle of the war. , It was Buford who stubbornly fought the advance of General Heath’s division of the Third Confederate corps, on the July morning until General Reynolds arrived and took comand; and Wheeler's men helped to make that joint affair a warm one. Relatives of General Meade, General Longstreet, General Pickett and Gener al Hill arrived today. Brigadier General Hunter Liggett as sumed command of the veterans’ camp . today. General Liggett apopinted as his adjutant Lieutenant Buckner, Jr„ son of the Confederate general. The news that President Wilson is Martin Mulhall’s Story as General Field Lobbyist for Manufacturers’ Association Will Be Probed WASHINGTON, June 30.—Searching investigation of the so-called “under ground system” at the capitol, not only by the senate lobby committee, but by a select committee of the house also, promised to be the first result of the sensational charges by Martin M. Mul- hall, who claims to have been the gen eral field “lobbyist” for the National Association of Manufacturers. Mullhall’s startling revelations that ^ representatives and senators and high officials of thd government had been reached or influenced, that the “lobby” conducted its operations from a room in the capitol, paid money to employes there, took an active hand in making up committees and went out actively in campaigns to defeat congressmen who opposed legislation which the “lobby” wanted, have thrown congressional cir cles into an uproar. “MALICIOUS LIES,” THE ANSWER. Congressmen named in the Mulhall charges are issuing statements, some of them denouncing the allegations as “malicious lies.” Speaker Clark last night issued a statement confirming the charge that the “lobby” had worked for his defeat. Many congressmen mentioned, how ever, who feel that they have been brought in without any specific charges against them, declare they will hot be satisfied with the senate lobby commit tee’s investigation alone, but will insist on a select committee of the house to- sift the charges. The senate committee, however, in tends to lose no time. A subpoena served upon Mulhall is to be followed by others for the men named in the published statements. Chairman Over man believes that when his process servers get through °they will have spread a dragnet to bring in material for an investigation covering the last ten years’ doings at the capitol at least. If there is any doubt of the authority of the senate committee to investigate that far. Chairman Overman intends to have the senate extend its powers. “CHIEF LOBBYISTS” DENIAL. Judge A. Enfory, counsel for the tlonal Association .of Manufacturers, re ferred to by Mulhall as “chief lobbyist,” said: “The statement that any of the pub lic men named in Mulhall’s charges ever was in the employ of the associa tion directly* while in or out of pub lic life, is a sinister and diabolical lie." He declared that he did not even ^"a 0 auT ke " SPe6Ch ^ 4 ^ by sight those mentl^ President Wilson will go by train to Gettysburg on July 4, instead of by motor, as originally planned. He has prepared his speech, which will be brief. FIRST VETERANS DIE. August D. Brown, of Livermore Falls, Me., was the first veteran to die on the field. He was taken suddenly ill late Sunday. The heat probably has tened his death. John H. Reynolds, of Port Chester. N. Y., a Union veteran, died suddenly In camp Sunday nikrht. 1 All day Sunday veterans *in blue and gray trooped into the little town which has slept so peacefully among its hills since Lee and Meade turned their legions southward so long ago. More than thirty special trains came into the village during the day. From the station of the two rail roads that come into the village it is a good long mile to the camp of 5,000 tents where the veterans are housed. Thousands shouldered their suit cases and walked. The sun was scorching hot, and many suqcumbed before they found their tents. There was no complaining, how ever. Every possible arrangements for the comfort of the united armies has been made. The camp itself lies on ground that has been baked as hard as brick and dried into dust by the winds. The tents fall westward with, the slope of the ground from the Emmettsburg road to the point on Seminary Ridge, where the immortal charge of Pickett started on the third day of the fight. They cover the “peach orchard” and the “wheat field,” where thousands of men were lost, and part of the ground over which Pickett charged, but they do not reach to the “bloody angle” or to the base of Cemetery Ridge. The formal exercises will be held In a big tent near the Emmettsburg road, but they will last only two hours each day and the rest of the time the vet erans will spend as they please. SEVEN NURSES IN REUNION. While thousands of veterans of both sides are‘ here and other thousands are on their way, there are gathering upon a quiet little street of the town seven gray-haired women who fifty years ago acted as volunteer nurses for Union and Confederate veterans alike. Perhaps to no one of the seven are the recollections of that time more vivid than to Mrs. Salome M. Stewart, a na tive of Gettysburg, who, except for an Interval of a few years, has lived in the same house that was used as an emerg ency hospital during the famous battle. At Mrs. Stewart’s home has been es tablished the headquarters for the sur- 7iving nurses of th^ war between the states. One arrival yesterday was Mrs. Clarissa F. Dye, of Philadelphia, who was arr.oitg the first to respond when the news of Gettysburg filtered over the 7,-ires. The other aged nurses expected are Miss' Cornelia Hancock. Philadel phia; Miss Margaret Hamilton, Wake field, Mass.; Miss Mary Stevens, Pea- bc-ay. Mass.; Mrs. Annie Irwing, New- burg. N. Y„ and Mrs. Helen Cole, She boygan Falls, Wis. GENERAL WEST PREFERS TENT Among the arrivals at the veterans’ camp yesterday was General Daniel Sickles, who declined hotel quarters in favor of a tent. A picturesque personage who attracted much attention was General Felix H. Robertson, of Texas who came to town clad in the full uniform of a Confeder ate general. General Robertson, who is protid of the fact that he was at Fort Sumter when the first gun was fired, also de clined to accept the hospitality of the Pennsylvania commission which had pro vided a comfortable room for him in the dormitory of Pennsylvania college, say ing he preferred to share the camp life with his men. This attitude was assumed by General A. J. West, of Atlanta, Ga„ also who bunked with his comrades on the bat tlefield. as having been “influenced” by officers or agents of the manufacturers* asso ciation. Representative Sherley, of Kentucky, said he did not know Mulhall and that he would make a statement on the floor of the house about the matter. Sena tor Gallinger, of New Hampshire, and Representatives Bartholdt, of Missouri, and .Webb, of North Carolina, also in cluded in the list, denounced the charges as untrue as far as they were con cerned. Speaker Clark, one of the members Mulhall said tjie agents of the manu facturers’ association tried to defeat on account of his supporting measures they opposed, said: “Mulhall’s statement, as far as it re fers to me, confirms a charge 1 made on the stump in the Ninth congressional district in 1910, and that was that a large amount of boodle was being used to defeat me. In September, 1910, it began to. be whispered about that they were making their brags that they would beat me and that they had plenty of money to do it with. 1 began to be.lieve it. So beginning with the first Monday in October. I charged in every speech I made that boodle was being used to encompass my defeat.” PRESIDENT WILSON’S COMMENT. President Wilson today said be be lieves the lobby on tariff legislation has ceased to “embarrass anybody but it self.” , When the prdesident made his first declaration that “a numerous and in sidious lobby” was operating in Wash ington, he had no idea that such charges as made by Mulhall would be brought out, but, he added, he was in favor of investigating all charges and had no doubt the senate committee would have a free hand. The president told his callers the accusations in the Mulhall statement had been brought to his at tention just before their publication. It was learned today that Senator Over man’s attention had been also called to a portion of the charges. Chairman Overman called his commit tee together for a short executive con ference early today and at its conclu sion announced that a full investigation of the Mulhall charges had been agreed upon. It was decided that no meeting of the committee will be held until July 8. Charges by Chairman Lovett, of the Union Pacific board, that certain men in New 'York had been impersonating con gressmen, and in which the names of Edward Lauterbach and David Lamar were brought in, first will be taken up and the Mulhall charges will follow. Mayor Is Judge and Prisoner; Convicts Self and Pavs Fine (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) WAYCROSS, Ga., June 30.—“Guilty or not guilty?” asked Mayor Harry D. Reed to himself in police court today, when he called the case of the city vs. H. D. Reed, charged with violation of the dog ordinance. The case was made by the dog catcher, who last week caught the mayor’s pet dog without a muzzle. Mayor Reed, presiding over police court, found himself guilty, im posed the usual fine and halted court long enough to get the cash and pay the city marshal. B1LLIKINRAIN CASTLE BURNS; SUFFS BLAMED GLASGOW, Scotland, June 30.—Balli- kinrain castle at Balfron, Starlingshire, one of the largest in Scotland, was burned today.* Only the bare walls re main. The fire seemed to have beep an incendiary one. Usual rumors blaming the militant suffragettes spread rapidly, but no evidence was found to connect them with it. iT SHOT House Bill Would Regulate Medical Practice So as to Do Away With All Fakes , in Georgia, Its Advocates Say The medical practice bill, defatted by a narrow margin of six votes in the legislature last year, after a bitter struggle among the various medical systems operating in Georgia, reap peared in the house Monday, sponsored by Representative Garlington, of Rich mond county, one of the legislators who steered its course in 1912. With it came a score of other bills providing general legislation, and for the brief hour in which the house and senate were in session clerks and at taches were kept busy with new meas ures. Marking time until the naming of the committeemen in either branch, neither house attempted any action other than receive new bills and accept an invita tion tendered by the city of Athens to visit there on July 12. In the house Representative Parks, of Upson county, Introduced a bill to re peal the present law making the sale of narcotics and drugs unlawful. His measure, strangely enough, provided no substitute ^or the present law, but merely asked that statute providing a penalty for the sale of drugs be re pealed. That part of the law which makes it illegal for dentists to prescribe drugs in certain cases was repealed also by the provisions of the bill. WOULD LET BARS DOWN. k If the bill, as it is written, should be enacted into law, the bars on the sale of all manner of drugs will be thrown down utterly. In the senate W. E. H. Searcy, Sr., of the Twenty-sixth district, introduced an other prohibition bill making it unlawful for newspapers and magazines in Geor gia to publish liquor advertisements. The biennial session bill, an old favor ite, bobbed up in the upper house. It was sent in by Senators Olliff and Pope and provides for biennial sessions of the legislature beginning in June, 1915. Manifestly interest in both houses turned instinctively to the subject of committee appointments arfd legislators failed to stay in their seats during the brief session, but congregated in ante rooms discussing committee possibili ties. „ » COMMITTEES TUESDAY. Heads of both houses said they would be ready with the committees on Tues day. But .three committee chairmanships in the house^can he forecasted safely*-: L. R. Akin, of Glynn, will be chairman of the committee on ways and means; Crawford Wheatley, of Sumter, will be chairman of the committee on appro priations, and R. B. Blackburn, of Ful ton. will be vice chairman of the rules committee. There are fifty house com mittees and 184 members from which to choose the committees. Certain senate chairmanships can be safely forecasted. They are: Appropri- aticns, W. W. Stark, of the Thvrty- third district; finance, B. S. Miller, Twenty-fourth district; general judi ciary, W. D. McNeil, Twenty-second district; agriculture, N. B. Chennault, Twenty-ninth district; special judiciary, O. H. Elkins, Fifteenth district; tem perance, J. T.

We call upon every senator and con gressman of Georgia and the south to aid Brunswick in this matter. “THE BRUNSWICK BOARD OF TRADE.” Look! Smell! Taste! Before You Eat Says Government Expert (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, June 30.—Warning to vacationists and summer tourists against the glowing descriptions of the healthful and salubrious food and sur roundings of country resorts is con tained in a circular issued today by the department of agriculture. The warn ing is included in a general caution against the careless selection of food and water during the summer months. “Those who go away for vacations,” says the department's expert, should not get the idea that everything in a sum mer resort or strange city is necessarily pure and wholesome. The danger of typhoid fever in country resorts is very great. Most of the cases of typhoid fever recorded in the fall in cities where the water is pure, had their ori gin in water or contaminated substances drunk or eaten at summer resorts.” t The department urges that during the heated period people should use their senses of sight, smell, and taste before eating anything. It advocates also the use of boiled water. Purchasers of manufactured foods also are warned that the label, “Guar anteed under the food and drugs act,” does not meap that the government guarantees the contents of the package. It merely is the manufacturers’ per sonal assertion that he has complied with the law. “Examine goods*, labelled ’guaranteed’ Just as carefully as any other kind, ' the circular concludes.

TARIFF BILL TO BE REPORTED THURSDAY Union Pacific to Swap South ern Pacific Stock for Big Block of Pennsylvania's B, & 0. Holdings (By Associated Press.) ST. PAUL, Minn., June 30.—The plan, for the dissolution of the Union Pa- clflc-Southefn Pacific merger, which At torney General McReynolds. with the approval of President Wilson, has agreed upon with the officials of the railroad, was submitted to the United States court here today. The plan proposes that the Union Pa cific shall exchange $38,000,000 of its $126,000,000 holdings in the Southern Pacific for the Pennsylvania railroad’s entire holdings in the Baltimore and Ohio—virtually an equal amount—and that the remaining $88,000,000 shall bs sold to the general public through a trust company. , No present shareholder in the Union Pacific, continuing as such, may buy any of the Southern Pacific so sold, 1 and each purchaser would be obliged to make affidavit that he was not acting in concert or agreement with any one else buying Southern Pacific to secure a new control of the Union Pacific. ALLOWS UNTIL JANUARY I, 1916. The plan allows until Januslry 1, 1916. for the complete dissolution. The transaction would begin on No vember 1, 1913, and, if not completed by January 1, 1916, the oourt would direct the disposition of any Southern Pacific stock remaining untaken.

Attorney General McReynolds’ state ment to the court, commenting on this exchange of securities, points out that |at present no federal law forbids one railroad company from owning stock in another non-competitive line, but that, by interpretation by the courts, a dif ferent meaning hereafter may be given present statutes, or new legislation cov ering that point may be enacted.
