CUL TO OLD HEROES
.Veterans of Blue and Gray
Gather on Gettysburg Field
and Hear President Praise
Valor Displayed on Field
(By Associated Press.)
GETTYSBURG, July 4.—The train bear
ing President Wilson arrived at the sta
tion in the town of Gettysburg at 31
o’clock. The president was escorted to
an automobile and accompanied by Gov
ernor Tener, passed through the town to
the Emmittsburg road, then proceeded to
the camp.
The president spoke to a crowd esti
mated at 10,000. Thousands of veterans
were in their uniforms of gray or blue,
but many in the crowd were Pennsylva
nians from Gettysburg and nearby towns.
The president’s speech was short and he
was frequently interrupted by cheers.
President Wilson left by special train
shortly before noon for the north.
ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT.
Friends and Fellow Citizens: I need
not tell you what the battle of Getts-
burg meant. These gallant men in
blue and'gray sit about us here. Many
of them have met here upon this ground
in grim and deadly struggle. Upon
these famous fields and hillsides their
comrades died about them. In their
presence it were an impertinence to dis
course upon how the battle went, how
it ended, what it signified! But 50
years ha've gone by since then, and
I crave the privilege of speaking to
you for a few minutes of what thost
50 years have meant.
What have they meant? They have
meant peace and union and vigor, and
the maturity and might of a greaft
nation. How wholesome and healing
the peace has been! We have found
one another again as brothers, and com
rades in arms, enemies no longer, gen
erous friends rather, our battles long
past, the quarrel forgotten—except
that we shall not forget the splendid
valour, the manly devotion' of the men
then arrayed against one another, now
grasping hands and smiling into each
other’s eyes. How complete the union
has become and how dear to all of us,
bow unquestioned, how benign and ma
jestic, as state after state has been
added to this our great family of free
Znen! How handsome the vigor, the
maturity, the might of the great nation
we love with undivided hearts; how full
of large and confident promise that a
life will be wrought out that will crown
its strength with ^gracious justice and
with a happy welfare that will touch
all alike with deep contentment! We
are debtors to those crowded 50 years;
they have made us heirs to a mighty
heritage. »
But do we deem the nation complete
and finished? These venerable men
crowding here to this famous field have
set us a great example of devotion and
utter sacrifice. They were willing to
die that the people might live. But
their task is done. Their day is
turned into ‘ev.ening. They look to us
to perfect what they established. Their
work is handed on to us, to be done in
another way. but not in another spirit.
Our day is not over; It is upon us in
full tide.
Have affairs paused? Does the na
tion stand still? Is what the 60 years
have wrought since those days of battle
finished, rounded out, and completed?
Here is a great people, great with every
force that has ever beaten in the life
blood of mankind. And it is secure.
There is no one within its borders, there
is no power among the nations of the
earth, to make it afraid. But has it yet
squared itself with its own great stand
ards set up at its birth, when it made
that first noble, naive appeal to the
moral judgment of mankind to take no
tice that a government had now at last
been established which was to serve
men, not masters? It is secure in ev
erything except the satisfaction that its
life is right adjusted to the uttermost
to the standards of righeousness and
humanity. The days of sacrifice and
cleansing are not closed. We have
harder things to do than were done in
the heroic days of war, because harder
to see clearly, requiring more vision,
more calm balance of judgment, a more
candid searching of the very springs of
right.
VALOR WAS GREATEST.
Look around you upon the field of
Gettsburg! Picture the array, the
fierce heats and agony of battle, col
umn hurled against column, battery bel
lowing to battery? Valour? Yes!
Greater no man shall see in war; and
self-sacrifice, and loss to the uttermost;
the high recklessness of exalted devo
tion which does not count the cost. We
are made by these tragic, epic things to
know what it costs to make a nation—
the blobd and sacrifice of multitudes of
unknown men lifted to a great stature
in the view of all generations by know
ing no limit to their manly willingness
to serve. In armies thus marshaled
from the ranks of free men you will
see, as it were, a nation embattled, the
leaders and the led, and may know, if
you will, how little except in form its
action differs in days of peace from its
action in days of war.
May we break camp now and be at
ease? Are the forces that fight for the
Nation dispersed, disbanded, gone to
their homes forgetful of the common
cause? Are our forces disorganized,
without constituted leaders and the
might of men consciously united be
cause we contend, not with armies, but
with principalities and powers and wick
edness' in high places. Are we content
to#lie still? Does our.union mean sym
pathy, our peace contentment, our vigor
HOUSE TO HAVE LOBBY
Trade and Crop Re

—From Bradstreet’s.
Committee of Seven Proposed
to Investigate Charges of
Martin H, Mulhall
WASHINGTON, July 7.—The house
wrestled several hours today with a
proposal for a lobby investigation on
its own account and finally deferred a
vote until Wednesday. Although debate
had been “limited to one hour,” it raged
throughgout the entire sitting and ig
noring warnings of Republican leader
Mann to “get down to business,’’ ad
journment was forced on lack of a quo
rum.
Apparently sentiment was almost
unanimous for an investigation. A res
olution from the rules committee com
prised not only an investigation by a
committee of seven of Martin M. Mul-
hall’s charges that congressmen had
been inflenced by the lobby of the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers but
a probe of the whole “lobby” situation.
Before the house adjourned all amend
ments accepted had been to broaden the
scope. The house investigation will
probably be. distinct from that of the
senate.
The most noteworthy feature was the
elimination of a’provision for the em
ployment of Counsel by the house com
mittee. Representative Levy, of New
York, opposed to the investigation, sug
gested the possibility that Samuel Un-
termeyer, counsel for the "money trust”
committee, might be contemplated. Rep-
resentalve Henry, of Texas, defended
Untermeyer and lauded his work, add
ing that he had no idea who was con
templated as counsel for the lobby in
quiry.
Finally the provision for counsel was
dropped. Henry, next Wedensday, will
renew.the fight for employment or coun
sel.
An. unsuccessful effort was made to
limit the time for report of the com
mitted to September 1, next, and an
amendment was still pending to specif
ically require all hearings to be open.
Chicago Mayor Pays
Visit to Tenderloin;
Dives Lose Permits
CHICAGO, July 4.—Seventeen saloon
licenses in what formerly was the south
side' segregated district have been re
voked. by Mayor Harrison. This was the
result of an unannounced stroll taken
by the mayor one night recently
through the district. The police re
peatedly had reported the locality clean
ed up.
CINCINNATI OPERATES
SEIZED ICE PLANTS
CINCINNATI, July 4.—The city of Cin
cinnati continued today to operate the
Ice plants seized Wednesday night by or
der of Mayor Hunt, and many citizens
who had been unable to obtain ice since
the strike of employes began two weeks
ago, were supplied with It.
Further evidence on the application of
ice manufacturers for an injunction to
prevent the citl from operating the
plants will be heard tomorrow.
Sails for Arctics

BOSTON. July 6.—After taking on
board seven tons of pemlcan and a
quantity of medical supplies here, the
sealing steamer Diana sailed from Bos
ton late today for the Arctic regions
with a party of explorers headed by
Donald B. McMillan, who plan to re
main three years In Crocker Land. The
expedition Is sent out by the American
Geographical society and the American
Museum of Natural History of New
York.

DALTON, Ga., July 5.—Homes have
been provided for 160 ministers and
laymen expected to attend the confer

gia Methodist conference, here next
week. The opening sermon will be de
livered by Rev. J. H. Little, of Ringgold,

will be in charge of the conference. The
meeting opens Tuesday night and will
last through Thursday.

OLD CLASSMATES MEET.
Two generals, one a regular United
States army officer, and the other a
Confederate commander who were class
mates together at West Point before the
civil war. met In the camp last night
for the first time since they left the
military academy, 62 years ago, al
though they fought against one another
in the civil war. They are General Fe
lix Robertson, of Texas and General J.
N. Barlow, of Washington.
Their meeting occurred when the en
tire Confederate body, headed by a band,
marched to general headquarters to pay
tribute to Major Jas. E. Wermoyle. As
they stood in front of the tent, with
General Robertson and General Thomp
son Brown at their head, the former
recognized General Barlow in civilians
clothes. Stepping forward General
Robertson accosted the man: “Excuse
me, are’nt you a West Pointer?” he
asked.
“Yes, I am General J. H. Barlow, re
tired,” replied the officer.
“I remember you,’ 1 said General Rob
ertson. “You were in my class. We
entered the academy in 1857: I left in
’61 to join the Southern army. Don’t
you remember me?”
“By George,” said General Barlow, “I
do remember you. perfectly!”
The two generals later spent several
hours In General Barlow’s tent talking
of the days spent* at West Point and re
lating Incidents and experiences of the
war.
SUFFRAGETTES SCORE.
Woman suffrage has found favor
among the veterans. At Suffragette’s
tent, near the big central tent, hund
reds of men in blue and gray pour In
every day and sign their names to ‘ a
senatorial petition. The women In
charge of the tent say that 12,000 men.
representing 32 states, have signed.
Governor Mann, of Virginia, and Gen
eral Young, commander-in-chief of the
United Confederate Veterans, started a
movement to have a grand reunion of
the armies of the north and south at
Richmond in April, 1915, on the flf
tieth anniversary of the evacuation of
the capital of the Confeedracy. If this
reunion takes place the men in blue
will be the guests of the men in gray.
The state of Virginia probably will be
asked for assistance.
CHARLESTON. S. C.—Wholesale
trade is dull, but retail continues to
show some Improvement. Collections
are slow. Cotton shows some improve
ment, due to excessive heat and favor
able weather conditions.
CHATTANOOGA.—Wholesale trade in
builders’ hardware and mill supplies is
good. Jobbers of dry goods report that
trade is fairly active for the season
and are optimistic for the future.
Wholesale grocery houses and confec
tionery dealers say trade is good. The
textile industries are running full
time, though they express some appre
hension as to the tariff. The weather
has been hot and dry, and in some lo
calities crops have been injured.
MEMPHIS.—Wholesale trade in all
lines is avtice. Retail trade is good.
Collections are fair. Warm weather
has been beneficial to growing crops,
and the prospects are fine.
ATLANTA.—Sales continue fair, but
collections are slow. The weather has
been ideal for farming, and the cotton
and corn crops are in good condition.
SAVANNAH.—While trade in all
lines is quiet, cotton and other crops
are showing improvement, and the out-
loog is more favorable than at this
time last year. Collections are slow.
BIRMINGHAM.—Inquiries for No. t
foundry iron are fairly brisk, and it is
said that sales are being made at $11
and $11.50. Hardware and building
material are in good demand. Lumber
milsl are practically all in operation,
and the supply exceeds the demand. Dry
goods and other lines at wholesale, are
doing a very good‘business for the sea
son. Recent rains have been benefi
cial to cotton, which, as a whole, Is in
satisfactory shape.
MOBILE.—Jobbers in all lines report
trade quiet. Retail trade is slow. Col
lections are tardy. Frequent showers
in this section have been very benefici
al to crops, especially to corn and late
vegetables.
MONTGOMERY—Rains are badly
needed throughout this section, as ex-
cesive heat and dry weather are retard
ing crops. Trade, wholesale and retail.
i3 quiet. Collections are poor.
JACKSON—Trade is fair., but collec
tions are slow. Recent rains helped
crops.
N.EW ORLEANS—Crops in Louisiana
are being greatly benefited by continued
good weather. Reports from the sugar
sections are favorable, and Indicate a
probable increase in yield over last
year. Cotton, rice and corn are doing
well, but cotton is being affected more
or less by the appearance of the boll
weevil. However, the farmers are pick
ing the weevils, arfd in this manner it
is believed the greater part of the crop
will be saved. General trade is rather
quiet, and collections are somewhat
tardy. Business done-by jobbers, how
ever. shows a slight improvement.
FORT WORTH—With rains in the
northern central and westerh sections of
Texas during the past ten days, excel
lent crops are practically assured for
the entire state. Harvesting of wheat
and oats is well under way. The crop
first named is expected to yield 12,000,-
000 to 14,000,000 bushels, and the oats
crop will give from $25,000,000 to 30,-
000.000 bushels. While some little corn
was damaged by drought, every indica
tion now points to one of the largest
crops in years. Cottbn is in excellent
shape on an increased acreage. The
plant is in a fine state of cutivation,
though somewhat late. Forage crops of
all kinds are in good condition and a
bumper yield Is expected. The cattle
range was never better at this season
of the year, as recent rains will give
excellent pasturage for the balance of
the summer and assist materially in
winter grass. Retail trade is rather
quiet, while jobbers and grocers also
report dull business. On the other
hand, hardware and kindred lines are
in good demand and the outlook is ex
cellent. Collections are fair to good.
THE CROPS,
Crop reports are- good as a whole, win
ter wheat, corn and cotton sending es
pecially satisfactory reports. Three par
ticularly favored states in crop mat
ters are Iowa, Nebraska and Texas.
Oats, however, will be a short crop,
and spring wheat has been injured in
South Dakota and parts of North Dako
ta not visited by rains.
■Winter wheat yields are up to expec
tations and a record crop is now as
sured. Spring wheat yields will fall
short of ast year’s record crop, but It
looks as if mad advices were exagger
ate. A total wheat crop exceeding last
year’s and possibly a record yield are
still possible.
Corn has been beenflted by rains in
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and
Illinois .The crop is in a good state of
cultivation, and prospects as a whole
are favorable.
The least satisfactorily situated crop
of all is oats. The hot wave in the
west is reported to have caught that
crop in the milk, and a yield far short
of last year’s record crop is probable.
The hay crop is a spotted one. Iowa,
the leading producer, promises well,
as it did last year, when all records of
hay and seed production were broken.
Tobacco crop reports from Pennsyl
vania, Virginia and Kentucky are good.
Lancaster county, Pa., will have a large
crop.
In the olwer Mississippi valley sugar,
rice and corn promise well, and the
yield of sugar may equal last year,
despite the smaller area.
Cotton crop reports are generally
good, being best from Texas, the Mem
phis district and the southeastern belt,
which a year ago lost heavily. The
only complaints as to cotton come from
parts of Alabama, due to drought, and
from Louisiana and Mississippi, where
the boll weevil is active, but is being
as actively fought.
Tne north Pacific states have had a
surplus of rain, but while hurtful to
iruit, it has been helpful to wheat and
to hops, which in Oregon never looked
better. California crop yields were in
jured by lack of rain earlier in the
season.
Heat and drought have hurt some oi
the smaller vegetable and fruit crops
in many sections.
CORONER’S JURY HOLDS 4
NEGROES FOR MURDER

jury which has been probing the mur
der of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Howell Sat

Wreck in Tunnel
ST. LOUIS, July 6.—The passengers
of a Southern railway train struggled
blindly through a mile long tunnel
when the engine, baggage and mail cars
were derailed midway in the bore near
NeW Albany, Ind., today. Reports of

hours.

ken, confessed, and began his unsuc
cessful three-year fight against extra

MAY CREATE A NEW
FORESTRY RESERVE
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 5.—Creation of a
forest reserve between the cities of
Washington and Baltimore is the ob
ject of an organization of Maryland and
District of Columbia people. The or
ganization which will be known as the
National Forest and' Park association of
Maryland, will be incorporated, it is
hoped, by act of congress. Letters an
nouncing the object of the proposed or
ganization have been sent out from
Baltimore* and local business men and
citizens have pledged their aid.
The forty miles of country between
the national capital and the Maryland
metropolis long has been neglected in
an agricultural way. The country is
fairly wooded and the '.promoters of the
federal parking scheme declare the gov
ernment could not lose money in acquir
ing the territory.
NO ARMY OFFICERS
FOR COMMERCE BOARD
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 5.—The inter
state commerce commission will have to
get along in its great task of making a
physical variation of railroads without
the assistance of army engineers unless
congress can be induced to pass special
legislation. The commission has asked
for twelve army engineers to organize
the investigation. The attorney gener
al has ruled that there is no warrant
of law for such diversion of the engin
eers from their legal duties.

SENATOR SMITH PLANS
FOR VISIT TO ATLANTA
Take Few Days Off While
Republicans Examine
Tariff Bill
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, July 4.—Senator and
Mrs. Hoke Smith will leave Washington
today for Magnolia Bay, Mass., where
Mrs. Smith will spend most of the sum
mer. The senator will return to Wash
ington Sunday, to be in attendance up
on Monday’s session of the senate.
The Democratic caucus yesterday con
cluded its consideration of the tariff
bill, and it is ready to be reported to
the senate. The measure, as finally per
fected by ,the finance committee and ac
cented by the Democrats, provides for
a -more drastic and lower revision of the
tariff than passed the house.
Senator Smith was tn charge of the
bill in the caucus yesterday, in the
absence and at the request of Senator
Simmons, the chairman, who was called
away by the death of a grandchild.
It is the plan of the Democrats to
give the Republican members of the
finance committee a few days in which
to examine the bill before it is finally
reported to the senate. Senator Smith
intends to avail himself of this delay
and run down to Atlanta for a few days
next week.

FEDERAL EXPERT URGES
DEEPENING OF DOCKS
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH, Ga., July 4.—That the Sa
vannah river docks need to be deepened,
is the statement made by Dan Kingman,
of the United States engineers. The gov*
ernment has charge of the work in the
channel, which now has a depth of about
thirty feet. The docks are filling up,
however, and the majority of them have
not more than twelve feet of water in
them at low tide. Mr. Kingman claims
large steamers moored to the docks reart
on bottom under the present condition.

every one would have to be rebuilt, as
the wharves would fall if the docks were
deepened. Mr. Kingman declares that the
harbor is greatly in need of work In the
docks.
GOVERNOR MANN OPPOSES
RICHMOND REUNION PLAN
Virginia Executive Says Com
memoration of Richmond’s
Fall Not Fitting
(By Associated Press.)
RICHMOND, Va., July 7.—In a state
ment today Governor Mann strongly re
sented the published reports that he
had advocated a grand reunion of the
armies of the north and the south in
Richmond in 1915, on the fiftieth anni
versary of the evacuation of the Con
federate capital.
"There is absolutely no foundation
for the statement that I advocated such
a reunion,” said Governor Mann. “The
friendly gathering of American citizens
who were soldiers in both armies on the
field of Gettysburg was a very different
thing from the proposed celebration of
the passing and fall of the Confed
eracy. I participated with pleasure and
pride in the celebration this week at
Gettysburg, but any reunion to com
memorate the fall and burning of Rich
mond would be woefully inappropriate.”
