CONFEDERATE VETERANS MEET
IN JACKSONVILLE MAY 6,7, 0
Twenty-Fourth Annual Reunion Will Last Three Days—Ac
commodations For the Old Soldiers in Hotels and Boarding
Houses, Not in Camp—Another Change is Carriages For
Veterans to Ride in For Parade; No Marching.
Jacksonville, Fla.—Thn 24th annual
reunion of the I’nltsd Confederate Vet
eran*' Aaeri-latlon and Sona of Con
federate Veteran* will be held In thla
olty tnrec day*, May *th, 7th nnl Sth.
Just one week later than dates an
nounced previously, and plan* for en
tertaining them are now being perfect
ed by the official* of the JarkNonvlll*
Reunion Association and thirty com
mittee* appointed by President Four
of the association.
Jacksonville has an ambition to en
tertain the survivor* of the Confed
erate armies, and their friends, better
if possible than they have ever been
entertained before. Ap Interesting pro
gram will be arranged for the recep
tion and entertainment of the visitors
and no matter how large the attend
ance may be, all will be satisfactorily
entertained. In everything that goes
to make the handling of large crowds
an easy task, Jacksonville's well sup
plied. It has the transportation fa
cilities, the hotels and streets, all nec
essary to the successful handling of
reunion crowds.
. Two Important Change*
The Jacksonville program will
change in at least two important par
ticulars the customary reunion meth
ods. It Is the purpose of the associa
tion to put many of the old soldiers,
who have at other reunions been cared
for at a camp, in hotels, boarding
houses and private homes where they
will have more comfortable quarters
and better entertainment. Jackson
ville believes that it will be more
pleasant for the veterans to be cared
for in that manner than in camp, and
many, if not all of them, will be as
signed to such quarters.
Another change in program will be
seen in the parade of old soldiers. In
stead of walking, they will ride in car
riages and automobiles. It is realized
here that a big majority of the vet

Runs on Banks Badly Needed
New York Times Comments Editorially on Run on Bank For
Savings—This Bank Has $9 7,000,000 on Deposit and De
clined With Thanks Offers of $50,000,000 From Other
Banks,
Tfcie !«* York Times, in a recent
issue, carried an interesting story of
a run on the Bank for Savings, one
of the oldest and most substantial
savings institution; in New York
and In the country. The bank has
deposits of $97,000,000 and a surplus
of over $10,000,000. while its cash on
hand was over $3,500,000. Some per.
son, ignorantly or maliciously, start
ed rumors that caused the run
The Bank for Savings was offered
over $50,000,000 by other banks in
New York, but the offers were de
clined with thanks as the bank 'hiad
plenty of money to meet all demands,
j. p. Morgan and Company telephon
ed that $1,000,000 would be sent from
that firm in automobiles if it was
needed.

eran* who followed tha fortune* of the
Stars and Pars, are now past 70 year*
of age. Many of them are physically
unable to march two hours in the sun,
notwithstanding the fact that they
fight it out with their old-time cour
age and determination. Thl* fact ha*
been apparent to younger observers at
recent reunions, if not the old men
themselves. The time I* rapidly ap
proaching when the survivors of the
civil war. North and South, must quit
marching in parades as a spectacle for
admiring eye*. It ha* been almost
fifty-one years since the battle* of
Gettysburg and t'hlckamauga—since
the consuming flames of war on those
historic fields tried American valor an
courage and found them true. The
average br® of the contestants in those
titanic struggles was twenty years;
hence the average age of the survivors
must be seventy-one.
Few Under Seventy.
In fact very few men now' living who
fought in the civil war are under 70.
When a younger man is found, he en
tered the service as a mere hoy. A
Confederate parade brings these facts
sharply to the attention of members of
the younger generation. The bent forms
and white hair of the veterans are re
minders to their descendants that but
a few years more and all must pass to
their last rewards.
Recognizing the declining years of
the Confederate veteran. Jacksonville
will set the precedent for a change in
the Confederate parade, as indicated,
confident of its ability to carry it out.
These proposed changes were submit
ted to lien. Bennett 11. Young on a re
cent visit to Jacksonville, and he en
thusiastically approved them. General
Young declared that Jacksonville was
setting a precedent that would cer
tainly be appreciated by the veterans,
and paid a high compliment to the
citizens who made the proposition.
In connection with the run the New
York Times has this editorial com
ment:
An Inexcusable Bank Run.
The little run on the long-estab
lished Bank for Savings, one of the
strongest fiduciary institutions in thl"
city, indicates anew tlh'e need of
some more effective megns for the
punishment of persons who malicious
ly or ignorantly circulate rumors
which cause such runs. The report
which prompted some hundreds of
workihg people to withdraw their lit
tle savings from the safe custody of
the bank was spread by word ot
mouth. Its origin has not been act
ually determined, but it was absolute
ly groundless, and there are times
when the circulation of such a report,
even in relation to a normally strong
institution, might cause more trouble
than a little extra work for the
clerks.
The Bank for Savings, with its
cash suppply exceeding $3,500,000 and
its assets amounting to nearly SIOB,-
000,000, could hardly be affected by
any run likely to grow out of idle
and baseless rumors, but, in the in
terest of all financial institutions and
tih-e public generally, its directors
should insist upon a thorough inves
tigation of the cause of yesterday’s
run.
Trifling as the incident may seem
to be in its relation to the day's his
tory, and slight as Its effect will be
upon so many thousands of the bank's
depositors, it is grave enough to war
rant prompt and stern action. If
conspirators have been engaged in a
futile effort to damage the bank’s
repute there should be no (hesitation
in prosecuting them. The matter is
worth all the trouble it may cause.
Meanwhile the officers df the bank
have acted in the wisest may to as
sure the community of the perfect
soundness of their institution, which,
by the way, has not for a moment
been doubted by any citizen of Intel
ligence. They have linvited an in
vestigation of their affairs by the
State Banking Department, the In
spectors of which announced yester
day that all the bank’s securities are
of the highest character, and they
have made a plain and perfectly sat
isfactory statement to the public.
