REBEL YELL IS HEARD AGAIN ON

BATTLE FIELD

Nine Famous Confederate Generals and a Thousand Soldiers Repeat Famous Yell at Gettysburg Reunion.

GETTYSBURG, Pa.,

mercury bubbling

July 2. In the

sun that sent the over the hundred

mark and made clothes a burden and a bath only a delusion, the armies of the north and south Tuesday began the formal exercises set to mark the semi-centennial of Gettysburg Veterans to the number of 15,000,

the

army officers estimated, filed into

the big tent set apart for the exercise, sat in the haze of heat for two hours and shook the camp with their cheers when the speakers made reference to a reunited nation. Every seat under the canvas was taken long before Sec. of War Garrison and Gov. Tener, the orators of the day, came chugging up in their automobiles. Although the men in gray were far outnumbered by those in blue there uric possibly a thousand southerners through the a amphitheatre and what they lacked in numbers they made up in lung power. When Gov. Tener finished his speech, Gen. Bennett H. Young, commander in chief of the United Confederate Veteran, rose slowly and bowed to him., "I can give you something that no one else can give you." he said. "We will now give you the rebel yell." Give the Rebel Yell Nine famous Confederate generals and a thousand veterans of the south gave it so loudly that it was heard far back in the camp toward Gettysburg. When Gen. Young stepped forward to deliver his address he was greeted with wild enthusiasm, the Union veterans led by Commander in Chief Beers giving him three lusty cheers and a "tiger".

He took as

tion of

his keynote the convic-

each side in the great strug-

gle that it fought for a principle which it believed was the truth. One of his opening statements was that the northern soldiers deserved more credit than the southerners for the promulgation and successful realization of the present at reunion which he characterised as the greatest movement of its kind in the world. This compliment to the northern veterans was greeted with cries of "No", to which Gen. Young quickly replied, "I know better than you do". His speech captured the audience and he was overwhelmed with handshakes. Late Tuesday Maj. Normoyle, second in command to Brig. Gen. Liggett, estimated that more than 50,000 men are quartered in a camp intended to hold 40,000. Through persistent efforts, however, every man has been cared for as well as possible. Thousands have been given quarters in the big tent and hundreds of others in smaller tents used in the day time for speechmaking and reunions. No officer cared to estimate the number of southerners here. There are more than 3,000 from Virginia, and it is probable that one quarter of the total number is represented by men of Dixie. Get Only One Meal. Many veterans got no further than one meal in camp and one look at the crowded tents and then started back home as quickly as they could go. The real exodus, however, will not begin until Thursday or Friday for thousands who might have left sooner expect to stay over the Fourth to see Pres. Wilson. Before the morning exercises began and after the veterans quartered in the big tent made their slim toilets, the reunions of regiments and companies and squadrons began. Confederates who were in Pickett's charge took keen delight in marching with life and drum to Spangler's Woods where the columns of Pickett formed on July 3, '63 to begin the charge that marked the high tide of the "Lost Cause." They didn't charge again like they once did but they remembered, or thought they remembered, and nobody said them nay, every stick and stone and even the blades

of grass in that wide stretch where death kept step with them before. On the edge of the Union side of the camp, the veterans of Meredith's Iron brigade, and of Pettitgrew's brigade of North Carolina got together to go over the story of the fight of the first of July. The struggle between the regiments of those killed in the entire three davs' fighting and was seldom equalled in the whole history of the war. They met Tuesday, many of them, for the first time since '63. Veterans Withstand Heat. The doctors were amazed Tuesday at the way the veterans withstood the unusual heat for it poured down in a way to keep men scores of years younger, in the shade. About 30 veterans were taken sick in the big tent during the exercises, but most of them were able to get upand walk away from the relief stations to which they were taken after a few minutes rest. The army ambulances were fairly busy during the day and there were several hundred men who dropped in at relief stations, got a bit of medicine, rested for a half hour or so and then went back to their tents. Although the army doctors were not given to talking about such matters, it was evident Tuesday night that many of the old soldiers would have been better otf if they had not undertaken the trip here. Two veterans have been found in camp apparently without friends, who are totally blind, and they are quartered in hospital tents.

SAYS LIQUOR IS CHIEF CAUSE OF CRIMINALITY

JACKSON, Mich., July 2. Degeneracy and liquor are the two principal causes of crime in Michigan, according to Chairman Rice of the prison board of pardons who has been making a personal investigation into criminality. Liquor is more responsible says Mr. Rice, than degeneracy. "I am sure that when the coming generation is educated," he said, "in the manner Michigan is doing at the present time, the percentage of crime will be materially decreased. "The greatest per cent of criminals come from the uneducated class. Prisoners possessing a liberal educa

tion

are invariably forgers."

WOMAN LOVES

ONLY HERSELF

Mrs. Wallace R. Condict is Described as "One of the Best Dressed Women," in a Divorce Suit.

CHICAGO, July 2. A complicated state of affairs, in which a mother is arrayed against her son, wife against husband and an aunt against her sister, was disclosed Tuesday when the deposition of Mrs. L. H. Smith of Brookline, Mass., was filed in the superior court as evidence in the suit for separate maintenance of Mrs. Wallace R. Condict of Evanston. Mr. Condict is a wealthy mortgage, loan and real estate dealer. Mrs. Condict is described as one of the most beautiful dressers in Evanston and a person much in love with herself. Mrs. Smith is the aunt of Mr. Condict and in her deposition she de-

cribes her nephew's wife as a woman

whose finger nails are manicured always just so, her face is just so, and who takes an "awful long time to dress. She is not the kind of a woman that would make a man real happy." Description of Husband. Mr. Condict is described as "a shadow, grown prematurely old and in a terrible state." His wife in her bill of complaint charges him with infidelity, mentioning a Mrs. Chapman

and a Mrs. Kaplansky.

"You didn't know, did you. Mrs. Smith, at the time Wallace and Mrs. Kaplansky went automobile riding together they already had agreed to 'chuck' off each respective spouse and get married?" asked the attorneys taking the deposition. "No, I never did," replied Mrs. Smith. In contrast to the attitude of Mrs. Smith is that of Wallace Condict's mother, Mrs. Louis Condict. These two women are sisters, and Mrs. Smith charges Mrs. Condict with having little mother feeling for her son. Regarding Mrs. Wallace Condict she said : "I don't think she cared for him except for what she could get out of him. She always had stylish and expensive clothes. I never saw her embrace her husband, pat his hand or show any affection at all toward him." Concerning the alleged unmotherly attitude of Mrs. Louise Condict towards her son, Mrs. Smith said. "I think the duty of a mother is to stand by her son, right or wrong."

MAKES A PLEA FOR

WORKERS

Evangelist Fife Traces the History of Religion at Services Given at the First Christian Church Tuesday.

Revival services were continued at the First Christian church Tuesday night by the Fife brothers. Special music was given by the quartet and efforts began to make the closing week of the short campaign a success. Urging that his congregation take up the task and finish the work of the reformation of the church begun by the early reformers, Evangelist Fife took the story of the church as his subject for the sermon Tuesday night. He traced the history of the church, beginning with its origin, teachings, ordinances, creed, name, and the requirements of the church, touching on the purpose for which it was established. He pointed to the work begun by the early reformers, such as Luther, Wesley, Knox, Wyckliffe, Calvin and Rogers, and made plea for a complete restoration of the New Testament church established in the days of Christ. He called the attention of the congregation to the ancient form of baptism, recommending it to the usage of the church. An effort is being made to have every one who signed a card at the Billy Sunday meetings line up with the church. The evangelists and the pastor of the church. Rev. G. W. Hemry, have met all who have signed cards and it is believed that they will soon be able to get them all lined up with the church work. A collection will be taken up next Sunday to be given to the evangelists. Their campaigns are conducted much the same as Billy Sunday managed his.

VICTIMS WERE

E

S

Were Taken to a Cheap Hotel by Steamship Agent Who Had Secured Their Tickets For Them.

NEW YORK, July 2. Five persons burned to death and 20 or more seriously injured in a fire which destroyed an immigrant hotel at 66 Greenwich st. in the downtown section late Monday night, were all aliens who had been booked to sail from New York today for their homes in Europe. The bodies, which were removed to a police station early Tuesday, were those of three unidentified men, a woman and a child. They lost their lives in almost the twinkling of an eye when the ancient three-story brick building was crumpled by the flames. There were nearly 75 lodgers in the house, most of whom who had come from other cities and had been provided with lodging there by a steamship agent who was arranging for their passage to Europe. The little building was so crowded that six or more lodgers were placed in a single room. Many were burned as they

dashed through the flaming hallway and were forced to leap to further injury as they landed on the pavements below. At least half a dozen were placed on the dangerous list at the hospital. Those who escaped had to leave their clothes and money behind and it is believed that several thousand dollars in bills, representing the total savings of many of the aliens was burned. The police began an investigation of the fire Tuesday as its origin was mysterious and suspicion was aroused by the fact that another fire of unknown origin which was easily extinguished, occurred in the hotel only the night before.

ACCUSED OF SELLING BAD MINING STOCK

Former Rolling Prairie Man, Who Left For the West, Faces Serious Charges Made by Laporte Man.

LAPORTE, Ind., July 2. Abner Griffin, a mining promoter of Seattle, Wash., was arrested here Tuesday upon a charge of selling worthless stock. He was held in $1,000 bail which he was unable to furnish. The charge was preferred by W. W. Hans of Laporte, who several years ago bought $500 worth of stock in a gold mine from Griffin. In all $12,000 worth of the stock in the enterprise was sold to Laporte citizens. One dividend was paid by the company and Griffin declares that though he worked the mine, the company was unable to pay other dividends because big smelter companies refused to handle its ore. Griffin, 16 years ago, lived in Rolling Prairie. He left for the west and returned for the first time in January of 1912. It was at this time that he circulated his stock among Laporte and Rolling Prairie residents. His scheme was learned recently when Hans was called to Seattle on business. While there he took the opportunity of investigating the mining proposition and ascertaining its value.
