Northern Veterans to Meet, Sep
tember 19-20. for First Time
on Southern Soil.
DIXIE SOLDIERS ARE INVITED
Great Preparations Made to En
tertain 300,000 Visitors at
Historic Battlefield.
CHATTANOOGA, Auk. 30—On the
very spot thAt veteran* of the Con
federacy celebrated their twenty-third
annual reunion Just three months ago
the Grand Army of the Republic will
hold Its forty-seventh encampment
and the land on which the meetl’i/
takes place has been hallowed by
blood of men who wore the gray aim
soldiers of the blue.
For the first time since the close of
the struggle between the States th.
Grand Army holds Its encampment on j
Southern soil. It is regarded hr !
typically flitting that the place is j
Chattanooga, around which many of;
the most spectacular battles were
fought.
It is held as no less fitting that the 1
time will be September 19-20, the fif- !
tieth anniversary of the battle .>f'
Chickamauga. which came so near I
halting the invasion of the South by 1
the Army of the Cumberland.
Great Reception Planned.
Chattanooga has made mammotn |
preparations for the entertainment I
the veterans of the blue. As soon an
the Confederate reunion closed last
May and the G. A. R. had accepted
Chattanooga’s invitation the people of j
the Tennessee city began making
their arrangements.
One hundred thousand persons at
tended the Confederate reunion. To j
care for them was a gigantic task. |
and it Is expected that at least 300,000 I
will attend the encampment.
Always from 200,000 to 600,000 peo
ple have attended these meetings of
the G. A. R., but never has a meeting
been held in a city so ripe with his- I
toric interest as Chattanooga, or a
city where the personal viewpoint ap- |
peals to so many.
In view of this enormous influx of
visitors, the executive commltt
the Incorporated Enoampmen
elation is composed in larg
the leaders who served in simlh
pacity in May. The records, prop<
ties, employees and experience are all
carried forward into the new organi
zation. thus assuring that blunders
due to inexpeirence will be obviated.
Many Historic Scener.
Of the historic scenes around Chat
tanooga Chickamauga may well he
placed at the front. On this field
there fell, in round numbers, 35.000
men, which, when divided, shows
about 25 per cent of each army and
33 per cent on each side for the troops
actually engaged. Then there are
Lookout Mountain, the scene of a
thrilling charge by the Federal troops
against obstinate defense; Missionary
Ridge, stormed by the Northern troops
without orders, and taken Casual -
ties In all the battles of the Chatta
nooga district numbered about 47,000.
Part of the field of Chickamauga
is now occupied by a garrison of
United States regular troops, this post
soon to be increased for a brlgad°.
Many thousand acres form a Govern
ment reservation, the Chickamauga-
Chattanooga National Military Park,
on which there are 2,000 memorials
and monuments.
Silent testimony to the military op
erations around Chattanooga is found
In the National Cemetery, where lie
buried about 12,0JO soldiers; and In
a well-ordered Confederate cemetery,
where an attractive entrance an 1
large monument mark the South’s
devotion to her beloved defenders.
Dozens of special entertainment
features are being arranged. Chief (
among the events wl n be a sham bat- |
tie between regiments of the regular
army on Chickamauga field, conclud- |
ing at historic Snodgrass Hill. This
is sure to be of intense interest to
the old soldiers.
Signal fires will be lighted every
evening on Signal Point, reproducing
the beacons that burned during th ■
long campaign of 1863.
“Battle Above Clouds.”
Another spectacular feature will

Inquiry Into Georgia Jurist’s Acts

MACON, Aug. 30.—That Judge Em
ory Bpeer, of the United States Court
for the Southern District of Georgia,
against whom charges have been pre
ferred by a special examiner of the

mit tamely to the investigation by

POM TO CITY
St. Louis Doesn’t Know What to
Do With 14-Year-Old Katie
Fischer, Now in Hospital.
feT, LOUIS, Aug 30.—This city is
puzzled to know what to do with the
14-yeur-old girl suspected of having
unconsciously caused seven deaths
and 72 cases of typhoid fever ut St.
Mary’s Female Orphan Aslum.
Innocent though she he, should
Katie be permitted to go at largo
with the possibility of communicat
ing typhoid to anyone with whom she
comes in contact? And healthy,
hearty, plucky little girl that she is
otherwise, should she he isolated and
Incarcerated indefinitely? And if so,
where and whose is t
responsibility?
Her rase is something like that of
“Typhoid Mary” in New York. Phy-
by the lower branch of < ’ongress, is
the positive statement of those most
intimately connected with the Georgia
jurist, and is further demonstrated by
the afet that Judge Speer has already
asked for a copy of the charges and
an opportunity to appear in person
before the committee in his own de
fense against impeachment proceed
ings.
Various charges against the Geor
gia judge have been brought during
the past three or four years, but this
investigation, on the findings of which
Attorney General McReynolds has
presented a special report, has been
conducted during the year by R. Col
ton L«>\vis, a special examiner of the
Department of Justice, and others.
Examiner Lewis spent a number of
weeks in Georgia.
Judge Alleges Espionage.
Judge Speer, in a recent speech in
^he West, denounced what he char
acterized »us the espionage of Federal
agents upon judges, and Senator Bo
rah recently charged In the Senate
that Federal agents had harassed
Judges by investigations to influence
their actions in cases In which the
Government was interested. • Judge
Speer maintained in his speech that
this deliberate attempt on the part
of the department to influence legis
lation will, if action is not taken to
put a stop to It, lead eventually to
the bankruptcy of attainable justice
in Federal courts, because Jurists will
be robbed of all Independence of ac
tion and will be deprived of the priv
ilege of adjudicating cases upon their
merits and the testimony. Judge
Speer claims that the clamor against

HT. LOUTS, Auk. 30.—The youn*
women who served the other day on
the first all-women Jury In East St.
Louis are being besieged with love
letters from youths in Illinois and
Missouri, and their mail is growing
daily heavier with the gushing epis
tles.
One of the writers, as an evidence
of prosperity, states in his letter that
he “owns his own horse and buggy,"
and knows he is “the one man for
her.” He pleads for an answer, and
wants to accompany her on a Joy
ride for life.
Another tells a fanciful tale of a
vivid dream, and refers to the young
woman as his “dream girl.”
Mias Ruth Littlefield, 18 years old,
of No. 1306 St. Clair avenue, East St.
Louis, who is a stenographer, was the
first to receive one of the love mes
sages. It was written by a youth at
Canton, Mo., who tailed her his
“dream girl” and said he was “all up
In the air about it.”
Wh»t a Question to Ask!
Hhe was asked by City Attorney Fe-
kete, in questioning her for Jury duty.
If she was 21 years old.
“Indeed, I am not,” she answered,
as she ruffled up and sent a wither
ing glance toward the young lawyer.
“I am not 20 yet; I am only 18.”
When she opened her mall subse
quently she received the fervent let
ter mentioned.
Miss Emma Mitchell, of No. 739
North Thirteenth street, East St.
Louis, a stenographer, who was fore
woman of the jury, received her first
love note from a “modest young man”
of Red Bud, Ill At least, he so de
scribed himself.
He addressed her as "My dear Miss
Mitchell of the woman’s Jury,” and
plunged at once Into a word picture
of his Ideas of a perfect woman, and
assured her that her picture is the
“Image of an ideal girl."
He is a home-loving man. he writes,
and knows he would make her a good
husband.
A message received by Miss Ruth
Brown, 18, of No. 3804 Waverly place,
a stenographer, was from a lovesick
youth of Bonne Terre. Mo.
"Kind friend,” it read, “I saw your
picture last eve and 1 thought 1
would drop you a few lines to get ac
quainted with each other, as I would
like to get acquainted with a nice
girl like your photo in the paper. I
hope you will accept the letter and
answer It, for I think I am the one
man for you. Although I have not
seen you personally, I would like to.
Youth Owns a “Turnout.”
“I am a young man just of age. I
have my own horse and buggy—in
fact, we are very well-to-do. So if
you say, we can write to each other,
for there’s no harm in friendly let
ters, are they? We must meet each
other some day. You write to any
body about me, for we are the old
est settlers in Bonne Terre.
“So I will close, hoping to hear from
you.
"P. S.—Please excuse bad writing,
tus the pen point is bad. Will do bet
ter next time, if there is any next. At
least, I hope so.”
The jury of young women fined
Mrs. Thomas, of No. 716 Baugh ave
nue, $5 and costs on a charge of dis
turbing the peace of a neighbor Mrs.
Thomas was arrested later on an
other complaint and was fined $200
and costs by Justice Chandler.

The provision room is in the after
part of the vessel. So swiftly did the
flames eat their way that It had been
communicated to the second cabin be
fore the alarm became general. Steer
age passengers hearing the crackling
of the walls and stays, set up a cry
of fright which echoed over the en
tire ship.
Police Reserves Celled.
Smoke rolled upward from the liner
giving the impression on shore that
the Hamburg-American pier was on
fire. Police reserves were rushed to
the scene.
Captain Ruser, chief of the five
commanders of the leviathan, directed
the fight against thee flames. The
provision room was seething hot and
filled with smoke, but the men dashed
In with lines of hose, and soon thou
sands of gallons of water were being
poured upon the blaze.
So fiercely did the fire rage In one
quarter of the compartment that the
fight had to be abandoned for a whiie
and the fire fighters retreated. It was
found that three of these, a second of
ficer and a seaman, were missing.
Search was made, but uieir bodies
could not be found.
When the woodwork of the second
cabin ignited, word was sent to the
pier to summon the land firemen, and
a general alarm was turned In to the
Hoboken fire department.
Liner Believed Fireproof.
As befitted the biggest and most
luxurious ship in the world, the Im-
perator was supposed to be absolutely
safe from every angle of danger. It
was believed to be the most perfectl}'
fireproofed ship afloat.
The Imperator was launched at
Hamburg, Germany, May 13, 1912, in
the presence of Emperor William, who
stood sponsor. The Imperator has
been in commission less than three
months, having left Hamburg on its
first voyage to New York on June 11
last.
Titanic Disaster Recalled.
Disaster to the great ship so soon
after its construction instantly brings
to mind the fate of the great Titanic,
which sank on its initial voyage. In
comparison, however, the specifica
tions of the Imperator are more im
posing than those of the Titanic. The
dimensions of the Hamburg-American
liner follow:
Length, 919 feet.
Beam (width), 98 feet.
Gross tonnage, 50,000.
The Imperator’s bridge is 90 feet
above the water and its three gigantic
funnels extend 69 feet above the up
per deck; the masts extend 246 feet
from keel to truck.
Carries Powerful Wireless.
Wireless apparatus sufficiently pow
erful to transmit messages 1,500 miles
was installed on the liner, and it has
carried three wireless operators on
every voyage. It was equipped with
live mighty anchors, one weighing 26,-
445 pounds, two weighing 17,636 and
one 11,463. Her kedge anchor weighs
4,960 pounds.
Other striking features of this float
ing palace:
Roman bath, two stories high in
marble and bronze; turkish bath, elec
tric bath, needle bath and chiropodist,
barber shop with manicurists; three
private dining rooms, glass-inclosed

Best Babes Claimed
By Western States
‘Ideal’ Measurement of East Said to
Have Been Surpassed by Spo
kane Fair Entrants.
SPOKANE, Aug. 30.—“The Inland
Empire babies are so far ahead of the
Eastern standards that when the bet
ter baby contest is ended it should
mean that the perfect baby, as adopt
ed by the New York Milk Committee,
should be changed materially to meet
the perfection of the Western babies,”
said Dr. W. L. Hall, as he looked over
the 239 entry cards of local babies.
He continued:
“I am going to have to throw up
my hands for more help or close the
entries pretty soon. At the present
rate there will be more than 600 ba
bies exhibited at the Spokane Inter
state Fair on September 15-17.
“I have the measurements of the
ideal babies as adopted by the East
ern men, who had examined thou
sands of babies, but babies out here
are taller, heavier, the che.«»t measure
ments are greater and they surpass
Eastern babies in all measurements.”

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.—Sixty
thousand dollars in gold, the loot of
a party o? Mexican and Indian ban
dlts which robbed an army pay train
46 years ago and cached Its plunder
near Grass Lake, will be the golden
fleece of a typical twentieth century
party of argonauts which expects to
leave San Francisco soon.
The. party, headed by E. E. Wlck-
strom and R. J. Strom, automobile
men, will journey in automobiles to
a spot indicated on a rude map ob
tained recently by Strom from an
aged Indian, claiming to be the last
of the attacking party, who told
Strom that Treasury agents had kept
such a close watch that the bandits
never had an opportunity to remove
and dispose of their plunder.
DAYTON, Aug. 30.—Following the
adoption of the decidedly new form
of city government, Dayton is now
looking about for a competent man
to assume the position of “City Man
ager,” upon whom will devolve the
whole duty of managing the affairs
of the municipality when the charter
becomes operative next January.
In addition to the City Manager, the
charter provides for five commission
ers, but their duties will be purely
legislative.
There Is no diffusion of responsi
bility as seen in the straight commis
sion plan where each commissioner is
in active charge of a department. To
complete the balance of power, the
people are given the right to the ini
tiative, referendum, protest and re
call.
Ward Lines Are Eliminated.
An intergral part of the Dayton
plan of government is the short non
partisan ballot and the elimination of
w'ard lines. At the same time a long
list of petty offices are taken off t’le
ballot ana made appointive. Under
the new plan the commissioners are
chosen for a four-year term, half of
the body being elected every two
years. This feature, of concentrating
responsibility in the hands of a few
men was desperately fought by all of
the old party machines.
The administration of the city is
divided into five departments, the
heads of which are appointed by the
Manager. All remaining city officers
are subject to civil service appoint
ment.
A unique feature is the creation of
a department of aoclp’ welfare, which,
in addition to supervising the depart
ments of health, parks and play
grounds, must make inquiries into
the causes of poverty and disease in
the city, and make recommendations
to the legislative body.
Plan for Scientific Budget.
The new charter is also unusual in
providing for the complete adminis
trative machinery of the city, de
signed in harmony with the most ad
vanced ideas of city management.
Plans are made for a scientific bud
get, complete auditing of city ac
counts. a modern accounting system,
purchasing agent, standardization of
city supplies, time and service records
and many other advances. These in
novations are the result of investiga
tions made by the Charter Commis
sion into the government of New
York, Philadelphia and Cincinnati.
The new charter will take effect
January 1, 1914.
The charter is said to be the most
advanced ever adopted by an Ameri
can city. Dayton is the first city of
any size in the country to acquire a
city manager, and the first to com
bine the best features of the old com
mission plan with the manager idea.

Mrs. James S. Marcum Learns
Through Medium She Is Heir to
Property Worth Millions.
HUNTINGTON. W. VA., Auk- 30.—
The voice of a ghost, developed by a
spiritualistic medium, may bring Mrs.
Fannie S. Marcum, wife of Senator
James S. Marcum, of Westmoreland,
a fortune of from $2,000,000 to $7,000,-
000.
Mrs. Marcum was persuaded a few
weeks ago to accompany two friends
across the Ohio River to visit a spir
itualistic medium, and while her
friends were apparently conversing
with friends in the great beyond a
voice suddenly cried out, “Is Fannie
Marcum here?” Mrs. Marcum an
swered.
Tells Her to Seek Fortune.
“I am William M. Pierson, your
uncle,” said a voice. “You are heir to
my wealth, but if haste is not made a
fortune will be lost to you. Go at
once to Aurora.”
With the ghostly command still
sounding In her ears, Mrs. Marcum
returned to her home, only to find a
letter, postmarked Aurora, awaiting
her.
The letter inquired whether or not
there were any heirs of “William M.
Pierson” alive. Senator Marcum test
ed the “ghosit.” Every word spoken
to Mrs. Marcum was repeated.
Their son, Attorney P. H. Marcum,
was dispatched forthwith to Aurora,
and there, according to his state
ments, the entirety of a marvelous
story was unfolded. The Piersons
lived on the site of which is now
Huntington until 1859. when the hus
band went to Louisville to dispose of
a fleet of timber.
Wife Married Second Time.
He never came back to his wife,
who, after several years of mourning,
supposing him to be dead, became the
second wife of the late Dr. P. H. Mc
Cullough, one of the prominent citi
zens of the county. In 1910 Mrs.
Pierson McCullough died, naming her
niece, Fannie B. Marcum, wife of
James H. Marcum, as her sole lega
tee.
Pierson, however, was not dead. He
went from Louisville to Denver,
where he purchased a salver mine,
and later is reported to have invested
in Mexican mining property, and to
have smuggled goods between Mex
ico and Cuba, becoming as the result
of his various activities, immensely
rich. In February, 1882, he died In a
hotel at Hot Springs.
After his death a will was discov
ered. which made millionaires of the
Bell brothers, the beneficiaries, but
the claim is made that Mrs. Pierson
was entitled, under the laws of Texas,
to inheritance of one-half of her hus
band's property.
SACRAMENTO, Aug. 30.—“If I had
$20 to spare I’d buy a hat 1 saw In
Eureka the other day,” Mrs. J. J.
Bussel, of China Flat, Humboldt
County, said to a neighbor last month.
“Why don’t you take hubby’s gun,
shoot a mountain lion and sell the
pelt to the State,” the neighbor sug
gested.
A warrant for $10 in favor of Mrs.
Bussel was drawn by Comptroller Nye
in payment for a lion skin, as proof
that when a woman wants a hat she
geenrally gets it.
