Chattanooga and the Southland Give
Warmest Welcome of Friendship as
Invaders Return to Historic Battle- j
fields of Mountains of Tennessee.
CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 13.—Chat
tanooga has put on her gayest dress,
and with iiags and bunting, flowers
and decorations of all kinds, is to
day anxiously awaiting the opening
of the forty-seventh national en
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic on Monday.
This year’s encampment marks an
auspicious occasion In the history of
the G. A. R„ for it is not only the
first reunion of Northern veterans
ever held in the real South, but it is
also the centennial of some of the
most famous battles fought during
the Civil War in the vicinity of this
city.
t Fifty years ago the armies of the
North and South entered into deadly
combat on the fields of Chickamaugi,
Lookout Mountain and Missionary
Ridge. The fiftieth anniversary of
the battle of Chickamauga falls jn
the last two days of the encampment,
September 19 and 20.
Already the city is crowded with
thousands of veterans and visitors,
and each incoming train adds to the
number. Although no official figures
have been given out, it Is estimated
that more than 200,000 strangers will
be here by Monday morning, when
the city of Chattanooga tenders an
official reception to the visiting vet
erans at the Hotel Patten.
Commander-in-Chief Arrives.
The G. A. R. commander-ln-ohief,
Alfred B. Beers, of Bridgeport, Conn.,
has arrived and will take a promi
nent part in the reception and the
events of the following days. This
reception will introduce the visitors
to the citizens of Chattanooga and
will be an elaborate social function,
one of the largest that Chattanooga
has ever undertaken. A committee
composed of leading citizens, under
the chairmanship of the Hon. A. VV.
Chambliss, a prominent member of
the local bar, has been at work for
some time arranging the details of
the reception.
The Chattanooga Encampment As
sociation, In conjunction with the lo
cal chapters of the Daughters of the
Confederacy and similar organiza
tions, have seen to all arrangements
for the housing of the veterans and
visitors during the encampment.
Because of the limited hotel ac
commodations the home of private
citizens have been thrown open. Most
of the arriving visitors had secured
Their accommodations several weeks
ago and they are being conducted to
theii* places of residence for the week
with the utmost dispatch. The same
plan of caring for the vast crowds as
was used during the reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans last May
is being pursued in administering to
the wants of their one-time ene
mies.
Confederates on Committees.
Many prominent Confederate vet
erans have served on the various
committees, and the success of the
encampment, which is already as
sured, is due in no small measure tc
the work of these veterans, who have
thrown themselves into the task of
entertaining the men who once faced
them on the battlefield. The en
campment will in a way be a reunion
for the veterans of both the North
and South. General Bennet H. Young,
commander-in-chief of the United
Confederate Veterans, who was large
ly instrumental in securing the peace
memorial which will be dedicated :n
this city in 1915, will in all likeli
hood be a visitor at the present en
campment.
Everything possible has been done
to make the week a gala one. Many
special features for the entertainment
of the veterans and visitors have
Deen arranged, among them being the
Battle Above the Clouds," repro
duced in fireworks on Lookout Moun

the conflict both sides were enveloped

and prevented the contestants from
seeing each other, will be visible for

Another feature in the firework.-
line has been decided upon for Sig
nal Point on Walden’s Ridge, north <>f
the city. This point was used as a
signal station by the Union army i i
1863, and a large signal fire will blaze
forth from this point every night dur
ing the encampment. The fire will
be visible from four States.
Sham Battle a Feature.
Another event will be the shan:
battle on the field of Chickamauga
between regiments of the regular
army, concluding at historic Snod
grass Hill, where 50 years ago Gen
erals Thomas, Brnnnan, Steed man
and >.thers checked the advances af
the Confederates and saved the Un
ion army.
On Saturday, the last day of the
encampment, the survivors of the
battle of Chickamnuga will meet on
the battlefield at 10 o'clock in the
morning at x point w’here the regi
mental monuments of the Twentieth
Brigade of the Third Division of tho
Fourteenth Army Corps are located
The call for this meeting was sent
out by Adam Foust, president of tho
Chickamauga Survivors’ Association,
and the exercises at this spot will be
under the direction of this body, Tne
local committee has also arranged to
hold exercises on this battlefield, but
they will probably be held separately
from those held by the association.
Many Confederate survivors of # tho
battle have signified their intention of
attending this meeting, and the reui -
ion of the Blue and Gray on the field
where 50 years ago they fought each
other so bitterly will be a touching
bit of sentiment and a memorial to
the peace which now unites the once
hostile sections into a composite
whole.
Greatest Battle of West.
The battlefield of Chickamauga has
many points of historic interest.
Snodgrass Hill is to Chicamauga
what Little Round Top is to Gettys
burg. Here the battle reached its
height, as a climax to the tierce two
days* fighting between the army of
the Tennessee and the army of the
Cumberland. Although Chickamauga
is regarded as one of the decisive
battles of the war. it was. like Gettys
burg, almost a drawn battle; neither
side could rightly claim a victory.
And it was not until the following
November when the battle of Mis
sionary Ridge took place, that the
Confederates were finally driven out
of Tennessee and Sherman began his
famous march to the sea.
On the third day of the encamp
ment, Governor Benjamin W. Hooper
of Tennessee will deliver an addrsirs
of welcome on behalf of the State.
Governor Hooper also delivered a
similar address before the Confed
erate veterans on the occasion of
their reunion here last May.
Under orders from the War De
partment, two full regiments of Unit
ed States troops are at Fort Ogle
thorpe, at the entrance to Chicka-
mauga Park. The Eleventh Cavalry
is regularly stationed at the fort, and
the Seventeenth Infantry has been

20,000 to Parade.
Although many of the veterans
j have been enfeebled by age, there are
i still enough of them who are able to
| march, to make a strong showing in
the monster G. A. R. parade. Every
State in the Union will be repre-
! sented by marching veterans, and
it is estimated that at least 20.000 will
be in line. The parade will be headed
by the officers of the G. A. R. and the
Sons of Veterans, followed by the vet
erans of each State in a separate di
vision. \
Most of the time of the visiting vet
erans will be taken up by sight-see
ing, but one important piece of busi
ness will demand their attention. That
is the election of a commander-in-
chief. The highest official position in
the largest organization of Veterans
in the world is no small honor, and
the rivalry for the distinction is quite
keen. Five States are preparing to
push their candidates and in the short
time the veterans have been here
there has been much electioneering.
When the election comes up there
may be other candidates in the field
as well, but it is expected that the
choice will be made from one of the
five.
The department of Indiana has in
dorsed Comrade O. A. Sommers, a
private in the ranks.
Netfraska has entered the lists with
Colonel C. E. Adams, a banker and
farmer of Superior. Nebr.
Michigan has come to the encamp
ment carrying the flag of the Hon
Washington Gardner, of Albion, tho
well-known editor-statesman, and
enters him as a candidate for the
honor.
New Jersey's candidate for the
honor is Colonel Ralph D. Cole, a
popular Grand Army man, who has a
creditable war record.
South Dakota has indorsed Cap
tain N. H. Kingman, of Selby, and
has come to Chattanooga deteiffnined
to land him.
With five strong candidates, said to
be the greatest number ever present
ed before a national encampment, the
fight for the honor promises to be
spirited and full of Interest.

JOLHCT, ILL., Sept. 13.—Tousle-
halred and undersized, In appearance
like scores of other boys who may be
found on baseball lots or at the "old
swimmin’ hole," Hermann Coppes,
! slayer of the wife and two babes of
j his benefactor, presents to the State
! prison officials and criminologists one
of the most baffling eases that has
ever come to their notice.
Only 14 years of age and sentenced
to life imprisonment the boy is kept
in almost solitary confinement, and
psychological experts declare the fu
ture holds no hope of the boy being
transferred to any asylum or winning
any liberty or privileges beyond tho
rules which govern the most des
perate and hardened of criminals.
Buffering from an Incurable homi
cidal mania, the child has been de
clared the most dangerous prisoner In
the State prison.
Four months ago tho bov killed
Mrs. Manny Sleep and her two babes
on the Sleep farm near Elgin. For
three days he went calmly about his
chores and then coolly confessed to
the crime' and led searchers to .
cistern where he had hidden th
bodi< s. He showed no remorse and
no fear, not even when he arrived
at the State prison, the youngest con
vict ever admitted to that institu
tion. ,
Alienists, criminologists and peni
tentiary officials are agreed that it
would be a menace to any community
| for the boy to be free In it, and that
were he sent to an asylum the cun
ning of his brain would devise some
way to satisfy his lust for blood.
“He Is a second Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde,” said one of the guards. "One
day he’ll be as happy as a kid with a
baseball bat. The next day he hangs
his head and mopes in his cell."
SEATTLE. Sept. IS.—Eighty feet
under the sea, at Alden Banks, near
Anacort;es, Puget Sound, Walter Mc
Kay, a diver, fought a furious forty-
five minutes battle with a devilfish,
nine feet in circumference. It was a
battel to the death for the man-de
vouring fish, and while McKay finally
won. several times he was on the
verge of collapse during the desper
ate struggle, and more than once
announced that he believed he would
loste. Jnmes E. Hill, who was In
charge of the assistants to McKay,
tells the story.
During the battle with the octopus,
Hill stood with the telephone re
ceiver to his ear, listening to the
graphic bulletins given him by the

MONTGOMERY. MO., Sept. 13.—An
unusual scene, in which there was
considerable sentiment manifested,
took place at the courthouse entrance
here, resulting in the conversion of
Jack Swezy, a noted character, and a
woman by the name of Mrs. Hays.
About fourteen years ago Roy Hud
son was a prize fighter at Montgom
ery. Finally he got hold of an an
tagonist who gave him such a beating
that he went to Terre Haute.
There he was converted and joined
the Methodist Church and became a
licensed minister. He says God ap

All through the battle, Hill, des
perate through his inability to help
his chief, dripped with cold sweat.
The telephones uned by divers allow
the man underneath to talk to tho
man on the surface, but the latter
can not reply, and the only encour
agement Hill could offer to the diver
was an occasional tug on the signal
line.
The octopus had throw'll tw r o ten
tacles about McKay’s body, binding
his left arm tightly to his side.
McKay with his right arm drew
his knife from his belt. He had to
use groat caution not to cut his suit.
Finally McKay disentangled him

the wire mesh. The devilfish still
held a death grip on his left arm.
McKay, seeing he could not break

hold a revival meeting and show to
the people what a transformation had

He came here a few days ago and
began a meeting* at the courthouse.
Jack Swezy, whom he had the honor
of subduing in a fistic encounter, fell
on his knees at the courthouse steps
and cried for mercy, while the evan
gelist from Indiana announced to the
large audience that he was now see

that the very man whom he had met

OKEENE, OKLA., Sept. 13.—In a
house leased by them five years ago,
a number of bachelors established
their residence. It i? said that they
would not allow a woman inside the
place. They employed men to cook
for them and do the housework. Not
one of them married during the first
year. The young married men were
clerks and teachers, there being one
young physician among them.
During the second year they began
to drop away, two of them being mar
ried during that time. In the third i
year they scattered even more, but"!
new recruits were brought in and the I
•'den" was maintained.
Recently there have been only three j
of the bachelors left, all the others
having married. Three of them have j
moved away, but they were married
before they left Okeene. A week or j
two ago Louis Hey was married and
the two remaining bachelors gave up
the houwe that has been known as the
"den." They could not get any others

Miner Bitten by Rattlesnake Res
cued and Taken to the City
by Fair Campers.
BOS ANGELES, Sept. 13.—Twenty
girls In a stage coach, thrlllln* with
excitement over a mad dash across
hills and canyons in a race with
death, arrived in Los Angeles from
the Los Angeles Playground Asso
ciation camp In San Gabriel, bringing
in their coach Frederick Robert Hes-
sert, mining engineer, who had been
bitten by a 6-foot rattlesnake.
The girls, part of a party of 65
playground campers, had Just con
cluded a most peaceful two weeks'
vacation, and were starting hom In
their coach and six. A few miles out
from Mountain View, their camp, the
stage was stopped by Hezeklah Bo-
hanon, a miner, who hastily explained
that Hessert had sought help at his
camp after being badly bitten by a
snake.
Wild Ride, Says QIH,
Greatly excited over the danger to
Hessert, the girls assisted Bohanon
In getting him Into the coach on the
seat by the driver. Then the mad
ride began.
Miss Evelyn Thon, of No. 16*3
Glendale avenue, one of the girls In
the coach, declared that the ride was
one of the most exciting experiences
of her life.
“We girls were all awfully Inter
ested In the man. Mr. Hessert, when
he got in the coach,” she said, “and
he told us about the snakebite.
Reptile Six Feet Long.
The snake was about 6 feet long,
he said, but It was colled, and some
way or other Mr. Hessert had thought
the thing he heard in the bushes near
by was a gopher. He was mining, It
seems, at the time. So he was care
less an didn't investigate the rustling
noise, and as a result the snake bit
him In the thumb.
Among other occupants of the
stage were Miss Haxel Washburn,
Ruth and Julia Martin. Flossie Ram
sey, Gladys Talbot and Alma Fanjoy.
