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 a reproduction of the “Battle Above the Clouds” in fireworks on lookout Mountain, 2.500 feet above the soi level and 1.500 feet above the vnllev in which Chattanooga is situated. It is planned to be oi.e of the great est fireworks spectacle- ever staged In the United Stutev. a collision between two passenger trains, a steamboat reception and dinner to visiting official- of the G A.

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.

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. „iv» \ n .i if n 0 i ‘ l,een lai 'KPly promulgat . - ,, n , influential litigants in his he authority and l. lt? ,inm . , against wnom adverse action ha< sicians hav that in Europe Dr. Koch established many isolation stations to meet such contingencies, but there is no such provision against the spread of typhoid here.

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 private dock and imperial suite, which costs $3,500 for one passage. A ballroom, theater, sun parlor, nur sery. Ritz-Carlton restaurant, grill room, garden, flower shop and candy shop were some of the other features. New York Greets Firemen of World Thousand Chiefs Attend Internation al Convention—Unveiling of Mon ument to Feature Meeting.

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.” ILL DIM CITY Municipality Adopts Charter Plac ing Responsibility for Affairs on One Man’s Shoulders. $60,000 Loot Sought; Buried for 46 Years Money Cached by Mexican Bandits Near Grass Lake, California, Never Removed. 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.

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.
