a hole through a levee twenty feet high,
th’ Mississippi river has carried away
. 1,400 feet, of embankment and today
the. Torras crevasse is widened to more

Though nearly 50 years have passed since the Confederate forces surrenderd at Appomattox
there remains one “rebel” uneonquered and unconquerable. That “rebel” is Miss Mary Hall,
of Augusta. Ga.. attending her twenty-first reunion at Macon. From the day war was declared
up to the present time Miss Hall has never been from under a Confederate flag. Whether dressed
as a soldier or as a civilian, she wears a tiny Confederate flag in her hat. When she dines one is
suspended above the table, and when she sleeps the colors are draped from her bed post.
THRONGS CHEER
REUNION SHEEN
Brilliant Pageant Through Ma
con’s Streets Is Followed by
Coronation.
MACON. GA.. May 9.—The most
spectacular display of beauty and wom
anly charm in the history of reunions of
Southern veterans was the coronation
of the queen of the reunion yesterday
afternoon. Fully 40,000 persons thronged
every viewpoint of Coleman's Hill to
obtain a glimpse of the crowning of
Miss Mary SCandrett. the. charming
Macon girl selected to be queen in a
popularity contest conducted by the
.Sons of Veterans, "-ith the approbation
of the United Confederate Veterans and
the reunion committee.
For twelve blocks the queen's pro
cession moved to the eminence, where
she, with regal dignity, ascended the
throne, while thousands cheered, waved
hats, bands played and salutes were
fired.
The parade started at .the city hall,
and in line were the Macon drum and
bugle corps, the Macon police depart
ment, the Georgia veterans, the entire
Second Georgia National Guard regi
ment, the Thomas Hardeman camp of
Sons of Veterans, the band of Saline,
Texas, the officers of the U. C. V. in
carriages and the magnificen't float
bearing the queen and her attractive
maids.
On the stage on Coleman's Hill near
ly 200 sponsors and maids of the re
union had gathered to greet the queen
and her retinue, and as these ascended
the steps the mighty throng looked on
approvingly and the air resounded with
their enthusiastic shouts. Housetops in
the vicinity were crowded, and the
small boys even occupied 'every avail
able tree.
With an appropriate speech, Colonel
Walter A. Harris, chairman of the gen
eral reunion committee, place.d the
crown on the queen's beautiful head
of auburn hair. Mayor John T. Moore
then presented her with an immense
golden ke< of the city. General C. Ir
vine Walker presented her with a dia
mond ring, the gift of the Sons of t et
erans. and Mrs. W. D. Lamar pinned on
a diamond brooch, a token from the
Daughters of the Confederacy.
Several of the largest, moving picture
companies of the country had agents
here, to secure films of the entire affair,
and for a half hour after the exercises
were concluded, the queen and het
maids graciously posed for the pho
tographers. To carry out the effect, the
enormous audience even responded to a
request to be enthusiastic, and once
again hats were thrown in air and
handkerchiefs waved.
General Walker declared the coro
nation was the most beautiful and .pic
turesque event he ever witnessed.

AT BIG REUNION BALL
MACON. GA.. May 9.—The “grizzly
bear" made its appearance at the ball
of the Sons of Veterans last night.
Likewise the “turkey trot." And an
immense throng of spectators hissed
when the balFofficials sought to stop
the dances, and applauded when per
mission was finally given for the "tur
key trot” to be danced in “modera
tion."
When Miss Juliet Elgin, of Kansas
City, Mo., the lovely young sponsor for
the Missouri Sons of Veterans, and
Robert Cain Newman, of Savannah,
glided into the peculiar steps of the
"turkey trot," they were quickly halted
and advised not to repeat the perform
ance. .The spectators shouted their
disapproval of- the officials' action.
Several veterans, among them General
John H. Leathers, of Louisville; Ma
jor J. S. Buchanan, of Louisville; Gen
eral T. W. Castleman, of New Or
leans. and General Griffin, of Virginia,
argued that there was no reason why
the dancers should not proceed. Chair
man R. K. Hines then gave his consent,
provided the privilege -was not abused.
Several other couples subsequently per
formed the "turkey trot” steps, among
them being Mrs. Griffin, of Washing
ton. D. C._ and J. S. Wilson, of Macon.

VETERANSTDGD
TO CHONOOOI
Half Century After the Battles
• Around Tennessee City Boys
in Gray to Return There.
MACON, GA., May 9—Half a cen
tury after ' the battles of Lookout
Missionary ridge. Orchard
knob. Rossville gap, Chickamauga and
the campaign from Chattanooga to At
lanta, the old soldiers of the South will
go back to the scenes of their con
flict and in memory reenact the stir
ring days of Is€ 3. Chattanooga, with
all its historic environment, will be
the scene of next year's reunion of the
United Confederate veterans.
* The Tennessee city won the 1913
meeting of the Boys in .Gray after a
spirited contest that before it ended
had taken a sensational turn. San An
tonio and Jacksonville were the op
posing cities.
It was the Jacksonville delegation
that accused Secretary E. H. Hyman,
of the Macon Chamber of Commerce,
of trying to "sell" the reunion, with
San Antonio as the “purchaser." The
controversy engaged in bv these two
cities led to their undoing, and Chat
tanooga was given the next reunion as
a compromise and a rebuke to cities
adopting such taqtics. Chattanooga
secured practically half the total In the
convention, the ballot showing Chatta
nooga 1.048; Jacksonville, 606, and
San Antortio 476. *
The first reunion, when the United
Confederate Veterans were organized,
was held at Chattanooga 22 years ago.
Next year’s reunion will be the first in
that city since the organization ses
sion. Chattanooga has sought this
gathering for three.successive years—
at Mobile, in 1910. when Little Rock
won: at Little Rock, in 1911, when Ma
con won and now at Macon, w-hen
Chattaneoga won
Chattanooga’s chief speaker in . pre
senting its Invitation was Bancroft
Murray, a lawyer of that city, and the
man with the biggest voice tn Ten
nessee. His-lung power is sufficient to
carry his voice above the hubbub in a
crow® of 10,000-persons. and there was
no one in the big convention audito
rium that could not hear w-hat he had
to say. Colonel L. T. Dickinson, ad
jutant of N. B. Forrest camp. U. C. V.,
presented the invitation for the Chat
tanooga veterans.
GENERAL'S TEARS
WIN BOYS IN GRAY
Plea for Acceptance of G. A. R.
Invitation to Gettysburg Re
union Finally Prevails.
MACON. GA.. May 9.—Commander-
In-Chief C. Irvine'Walker’s earnest and
heartfelt appeal, with tears streaming
down his face, and ’in a voice that
shook with emotion, stirred the. after
noon session of the United Confederate
Veterans yesterday to the acceptance
of the invitation of the Gmnd Army
of the Republic to participate in the
semi-centennial celebration of the bat
tle 'of Gettysburg.
General Walker r was dumfounded
when the coffirdittee on resolutions
unanimously reported against the ac
ceptance of the invitation, and he im
mediately took the floor and ' pleaded
with his comrades not to be governed
by the committee’s action, which he
said he deeply deplored.
Genera! Bryan, of Georgia, a member
of the committee, argued at. length in
fevor of declining the invitation, but
when the vote was taken his was the
only one dissenting. There were 2.147
authorized votes in the Ball.
AT THE THEATERS"
RICH COLORING OF DURBAR
REPRODUCED BY KINEMACOLOR
The Durbar, which occurred last De
cember at Delhi, India, and marked the
coronation of the king and queen of
England as. the emperor and empress of
India is one of the most elaborate and
ornate occurrences of that strange coun
try, and the trappings and colors of the
potentates, maharajahs, rajahs and chiefs
embody every combination of the rainbow.
The pictures showing this, ceremony,
which are being produced twice daily at
the Grand opera house, reproduce these
colors bv photography, and make an in
teresting and enjoyable entertainment.
The Kinemacolor is an invention of an
Englishman and an American, and repro
duces the coloring exact. The blue of the
sky. the yellow of the sand, the red of
the British troopers’ uniforms, the won
derful blending of the beautiful colors
of the dress and turbans of the chiefs,
the mauve of the tents, and the golden
and blue trappings of the robes of state
are all just as they were worn during
that festal period in India.
Os probably the most interest to demo
cratic America as showing the difference
in caste in this country and republics is
the scene in which the chiefs of India
pay homage to the English monarchs. Be
neath the great canopy of state, the king
and queen sit on the thrones, while the
ruling monarchs of India come singly and
bow low to them After this ceremony is
over they back away, some more or less
awkwardly, especially when they descend
the short flight, of steps leading up to the
throne platform
This engagement is the first production
of the Durbar pictures in Atlanta, and'is
proving of great historical as- well as pic
torial interest. The performances are at
2:30 and 8:30 p m
Weeping ‘Honor Men*
Returned to Cells in
An Unguarded Train
RENO. NEV., May 9—On the Vir
ginia road a few miles from Reno was
witnbssed the end of the convict honor
system—for the time at least. Near tfie
convict camp stood a special train. It
had been dispatched from Carson with
Warden Baker and. one assistant, the
only man on board, and they were not
armed.
Warden Baker had flatly turned dow n
the advice of the governor, who thought
that he should take an armed guard
with him to bring these men back to
Carson penitentiary.
Baker arrived where they were at 4
o’clock, walked from the train to the
camp and was greeted by fourteen con
victs. Others of the gang were out on
the road. The men saluted. “Hello,
warden,” each smilingly extending his
hand. "Hello, Jim. hello, Jack, hello
there, you old rooster!" shouted Baker
as he walked among them.
"Well, boys, I have to take you back
to prison tonight and turn you over to
the new warden,” said Baker. “Just
get your beds together."
Countenances of the men all showed
disappointment and some of them wept.
GEORGIA GIRL KISSES
COMMANDER WALKER
WHILE “VETS” CHEER
MACON. GA., May 9—" l just love
you old veterans so much that I wish I
could kiss every one of you,” declared
Miss Regina Rambo, of Marietta, yes
terday afternoon in addressing the con
vention in behalf of San Antonio s can
didacy for the next reunion. Instantly
a dozen grizzled veterans rose and
started for the table on which she was
standing, and clamored for a fulfillment
of her declaration.
A compromise was reached when the
veterans agreed to have Miss Rambo
kiss Commander-in-Chief C. Irvine
Walker, and she promptly leaped from
the table, threw' her dimpled arms
around his neck and kissed the general
full on the lips. When she resumed
speaking, Miss Rambo declared:
"That kiss was as sweet to me as
though it had been from my first sweet
heart."
The convention rule of five minutes
to a speaker was suspended for Miss
Rambo, and she addressed the old vet
erans at length and was given a round
of cheers whe.n she concluded.
SHE’S WISE OLD HEN;
DEPOSITS HER DAILY
EGG IN BANK VAULT
AUSTIN, TEXAS, May 9.—8 L. Gill,
state commissioner of banking, has re
ceived an inquiry from F. F. Paschall,
cashier of the First State Bank of
Leesburg Texas, which is puzzling him.
It reads.
"I have a new depositor, and I do not
know how to handle the lady’s account.
A white hen comes in every morning
and deposits an egg behind the vault
door; please inform me how to handle
this account:”
It was not until the price of eggs be
gan to soar jweeks ago that this hen
selected the bank vault as the place for
depositing her eggs. Mr. Paschall says
she evidently has a due appreciation of
their value.

NEW YORK CITY ANNUALLY
EATS 1,300,000,000 EGGS
NEW YORK. May 9.—Some startling
figures as to the appetite of this city
have been gathered by the Marketing
committee of the State Food Investi
gating committee.
Each year New York consumes be
tween 1,296.000,000 and 1,440,000.000
eggs, the investigators learned. Each
week the inhabitants eat over 1,350.-
000 pounds of butter, and, in the course
of the year they make away with 72,-
000.000 pounds.
Last year the market for cheese was
considered unusually poor, but in spite
of that the amount consumed in the
city was 30,000,000 pounds.

SLA P WIFIEIO JIO
HER COMPLEXION
Here’s Rea! News That Will
Gladden Many a Man’s
Faint Heart.
LOS ANGELES. May 9—Here i«
something more about the American
woman from a foreign savant:
Her complexion needs more “lift;”
her lungs more capacity, her ankles are
"too spindling” and her feet “too
podgy."
These observations have been made
by Dr. Ludwig VonFerre. formerly of
the University of Copenhagen and soon
tn head the physiology department of
the University of Paris. Dr, Von-
Ferre is at the Hotel Hayward and not
only discussed from the expert physi
ologist's standpoint the flaws in Ameri
can femininity as enumerated, but told
what to dp about them, as follows:
For the complexion, indulge in slap
ping exercises.
For the constricted lung capacity,
whistle and sing.
For the “spindling” ankles and
"podgy” feet, run.
Slap Her Hard.
"The improvements which the Amer
ican women most need,” said the scien
tist yesterday, “are in the complexion,
the lungs and the feet and ankles. Their’
complexions need more life, their lungs
more capacity—for thus the voice be
comes more beautiful—and the feet and
ankles need strengthening. Os course,
these are only some of the necessary
points which will lead to perfection, but
they are the most important ones.
"When I say slap’ for the complexion
I mean it—literally. It is no use for a
woman to sit in her boudoir for hours
every day slapping away at herself. It
is too mechanical. Women should have
slapping matches. Just as men have
boxing matches. A few good slaps in
the face and a woman's whole system
w ill tingle. The effect upon her cheeks
will soon become permanent. In a
slapping contest women will be called
upon to utilize almost every muscle in
their bodies.
Run—and Really Run.
“Another important thing is running.
Perhaps it has never occurred to Amer
ican women, but after they reach ths
age of, say, eighteen, they seldom, if
ever, indulge in running Have you
ever noticed a dog which has been con
fined so that it has had no opportunity
of running o It stalks along with the
most ungainly walk you ever saw. And
so ft is with women in that a certain
combination of muscles is never
brought into play. Therefore, they stalk
instead of walking gracefully.
“Then, the American woman's ankles
are altogether too weak and spindling,
with a foot that is often podgy. The
ankle supports the whole body and
should be strengthened at every con
ceivable opportunity. Notice an ath
letic girl—how- well she deports her
self and with what ease she walks
along. Every muscle has been equally
developed so that she can use one nat
urally at a moment’s notice.
Whistle —and Whistle Often.
“As far' as whistling is concerned, it
has, of course, been advocated for many
years as a good method of developing
the lungs. It. is not as good as singing,
but there are many who can not sing or
who have comparatively few opportu
nities to do so. A woman can w’htstle
many times during a day’s work. The
more she develops her lungs the great
er control she has of her voice, and thus
she can more easily speak softly. All
of the operatic vocalists have low,
sweet voices and assuredly their lungs,
are good.
"Exercises should be adapted to cer
tain conditions and these, exercises ara
most admirably adapted to the Ameri
can woman in almost every sphere.”
