Through the courtesy of Lieutenant O. daundcrs and of Lieu-; tenant Simon Bolivar Buckntr, son i of the famous Confederate chieftain, both of whom have exerted themselves to the utmost to care for all who presented themselves with proper credentials.

No fault finding Is heard. I There is no sickness reported. The tents are rapidly tilling up, but there still plenty of room. Prices for every- thlug, In shops and elsewhere, are moder- i ate, so far. T.

P. Turner, superintendent of the trolley line over th cbutliefleld. related an interesting Incident today. As he was coming from his home to the office he saw a big man in gray, some 7 feet tall, com- ing down the street, with a big sash crossing his breast diagonally. On this i was printed F.

Marks of Charlotte, Norm Carolina," with his company and the number of a Confederate North Carolina Regiment. Ho told Superintendent Turner that be was the representative of the Governor of Montana to the reunion. He was anxious to find a place on the line of battlo where his regiment had charged the line under the Federal general, Reynolds. He said a caisson had blown up and a chum of his had been killed, as well as several Yankees. Superintendent Turner volunteered to And the place and, after some time, did so.

As the tall Confederate recalled the Incidents of the fatal event the tears rolld down bis cheeks and all efforts to draw him away from the spot were futile. He said his company was the one from which was fired the shot that killed Stonewall Jackson at Chaneellorsvllle. Mr. Turner is also superintendent of the Gettysburg Lighting Company, and bad the contract for Installing the electric lights In tbo great camp. There are 500 street lights, on 635 polos and some 300 interior lights, altogether 2l! miles, and all done In less than thirty eight-hour days.

Brooklynltes can form a good Idea of the appearance presented by Gettysburg now. It resembles Coney Island in everything except size, aud the enormous crowds. If a decent four-track railroad were completed between this place and Harrisburg the town would soon come into its own, In visitors to the field on which was fought one of the greatest battles In the history of the world. Colonel Lewis F. Heltler has Just come Into the press camp, with a telegram from President Woodrow Wilson, announcing that he will bo here on July 4.

A few minor accidents have occurred, including a head-on collision between two trolley cars at the siding opposite tie Devil's Den, today. Several persons were injured, none Berlously. LOCAL 6. A. R.

MEN LEAVE ON PENNSYLVANIA SPECIALS Hundreds of veterans of the Civil War crowded the Pennsylvania depot, this morning, preparatory to boarding the special trains for the reunion of the Blue and the Gray at Gettysburg. Old friendships were renewed and new acquaintances made as the veterans struggled through the packed concourse of the huge terminal In an effort to find the standards of their G. A. R. posts.

Hundreds of the posts wore represented, some containing a bore half dozen to others represented by nearly a hundred. Aged men who were mere boys at the close of thj war in '65, forgot for the time the years gone by since the surrender of General Lee and were soon going over the scenes of their youth. As early as 6:30 the veterans started to gather at the terminal, 500 of them leaving at 0.30 on the first special for Gettysburg. The special, "The Monumental Committee Train of New York State," did not carry Governor Sulker, as had been expected. Word was received at the last moment that the Governor would not be able to make the trip, on that train at least.

Among the committer on the "Monumental Special" were ten members of the Senate Committee, fifteen members of the Assembly Committee and ten members of the General Committee, composed ot veterans and State officials. The members of U. S. Grant Post No. 327, G.

A. with two members of the Associate Society and Mita Dickey, daughter of former Supreme Court Justice William D. Dickey, a member of the Post, left on the o'clock train. Commander Lewis S. Pllcher led the delegation, and he was accompanied by most of his staff.

The Post was not in uniform, as this was prohibited In (general orders issued some time ago, but the members wore a distinctive hat with a band on which was printed tne name of the Post. A special blue I blouse was also worn. I The names of those In the party are as follows: Commander Lewis S. Pllcher, Adjutant William Peckham, Surgeon C. T.

Tralnloads Le.ive Pennsylvania Station This Morning Big Representation From Grant Post Gettysburg, June 30 Twenty-five thousand veterans In Blue and Gray, the blgest army of Its kind that has been gathered together in fifty years, wpke today on tho field of Gettysburg to the call of reveille and the rattle of pots and pans in a score of mess tents. Veterans who sat about camp fires until late at night were up long before the sun climbed over tho bills of the Blue Rldgc. Before the electric lights of this modern camp were turned out, to make way for the sun, the veterans singing the songs of war time, and the wide streets of the tented city echoed with the "kl-yi" of the "Johnny Reb" and the hoarser yell of his Yankee brother from the North. Prepared to Handle 40,000 Veterans Tonight. The Regular Army men in charge of the camp expected 15,000 veterans to come Into Gettysburg today, end by tonight they will be prepared to tent and mesa the more than 40,000.

men without hitch or delay. There was no set programme today, and tho veterans were left free to look up old friends and old enemies, swap stories of '63 and enjoy themselves in any way they saw fit. Just as soon as the rations ot bacon and eggs and cooffee, "fruit in season," fresh bread and butter, were disposed of, the real inspection of the battlefield and tho retelling of the story ot Gettysburg began, with all the pointed criticism that the private soldier knows so well how to make, "I ain't seen a Reb yet who didn't charge Round Top and take It all by himself," said a lanky Southerner, as be wandered Into the quarters of the Pennsylvania contingent. "No, and I ain't seen a Yank who didn't break up Pickett's charge by his own self," said a smiling Pennsylvania as tbey shook hands. Survivors of Buford's and Wheeler's Cavalry Give Reception.

The only set event today was the joint reception by the survivors ot General Buford's cavalry and the Southerners of General Wheoler's cavalry to tha citizens of Gettysburg. It was Buford who discovered the gray army advancing on Gettysburg on the morning of July 1, fifty years ago, and the picket who first saw the scouts of Lee swinging up the Chambers-burg pike fired the first shot of the greatest battle of the war. It was Buford who stubbornly fought the advance of General Heth's division of the Third Confederate Corps on the July morning until General Reynolds arrived and took command and Wheoler's men helped to mako that Joint affair a warm one. Relatives of General Meade, General Longstroet, General Pickett and General Hill arrived today and were given quarters In the town. Colonel J.

M. Schoon-maker, chairman of the Pennsylvania commission, announced today that 33 governors had accepted invitations to bo present some time during the week. Seven Aged Women Who Nursed Soldiers on Hand. While thousands of veterans of both sides are here and other thousands are on their way to participate in the great annivorsary encampment commemorating the Battle of Gettysburg, there are gathering up a quiet little street of the town seven gray-halrcd women who, fifty years ago, acted as volunteer nurses for Union and Confederate veterans alike. Perhaps to no one or tne seven are the recollections of that time more vivid than they are to Mrs.

alome M. Stewart, a native ot Gettysburg, who, except for an Interval of a lew years, has lived in the same house that was used as an emergency hospital during tne tamotis battle. At Mrs. Stewart's home has been es tablished the headquarters for the surviv ing nurses of the war between the States. One arrival yesterday was Mrs.

Clarlsa F. Dye of Philadelphia, who was among the first to respond when the news of Gettysburg filtered in over the wires. The other aged nurses expected to participate in tho anniversary are: Miss Cornelia Hancock, Philadelphia Mrs. Margaret Hamilton, Wakefield, Mrs. Mary Stevens, Feabody, Mrs.

Annie, Irving, Newburgh, N. and Mrs. Helen Cole, Sheboygan Falls, Wis. Among the arrivals at the Veteran i Attorney General McReynolds Files Statement at St. Paul.

SCHEME HAS A STRING. Government Stipulates That New Stock Arrangement Ee Not Immune From Future Legislation. St. Paul, June 30 The plan for dissolving the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific merger, which Attorney General McReynolds, with the approval of President Wilson, has agreed upon, with officials of the railway, was taken under advisement here today by Judges W. H.

Sanborn, William C. Hook and Walter I. Smith, sitting as district court ot the United States for the District of Utah. G. Carroll Todd, special assistant to the Attorney General, represented the Government at the hearing, and N.

H. Loomls and H. W. Clarke rcprescntsd the road. Dissolution Plan Leaves Room for Future Legislation, The Attorney General's statement as presented to the court was in part as follows: "The proposed sale to the Pennsylvania Railroad Companv of 3S2.S24 shares of the capital stock of the Southern Pacific Company now owned or controlled by tho Union Pacific Railroad Company (being about 14 per cent, of the total capital stock of the Southern Pacific Company) in exchange for 425,472 shares (J42.547,200) of the capital stock of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, now owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company (being all of such stock held by the latter and 20.4 per cent, of the entire share capital of the Baltimore and Ohio Company) obviously goes far to separate the Southern Pacific Company from the Union Pacific Company ant! to that extent breaks up the particular unlawful combination between them assailed In the original Mil and now before the court for dissolution.

"Moreover It divests the Pennsylvania Railroad Company of a largo amount of capital stock of an active competitor tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Companyand thereby remedies a highly ob-lectlonablo condition. So far as I am able to aecertnln. such exchange would not result In creating any new combination In restraint of trade nor any other condition In violation of existing law. "Should the exchange be made, the Union Pacific Railroad Company would then own 8S.06 per cent, of the capital stock of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, and tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company would own 14 per cent, of the capital stock of the Southern Pacific Company. "Since the proposed exchange would be a substantial step in tho dissolution of the particular unlawful combination now under consideration and at the same time would destroy the stockholding relation between two other actively competitive systems the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio and since no new conditions contrary to existing iaw would result therefrom, I think the court may properly grant leave to make it, subject to the condition hereunder stated.

"While the lines of the Pennsylvania system appear to be non-competltivo with those of the Southern Pacific system, and the lines of the Union Pacific system noncompetitive with those of the Baltimore and Ohio system, it is manifest that the Pennsylvania lines and the Southern Pacific lines do not connect so as to form a ontlnuous route, nor do those of tho Union Pacific and the Baltimore and Ohio. "Furthermore, while at present no federal law forbids one railroad company from owning stock In another non-com-petitlve line. Congress may hereafter deem It advisable to change the national policy In that regard; and the courts may Interpret existing laws so S3 to give them meanings different from those now accepted. "Wherefore. in order that any future legislation by Congress on the subject of the holding of stock by one railroad in another, and also all existing laws, may certainly to the holdings which tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the Union Pacific Railroad Company would acquire by the proposed exchange, said exchange shnuld only be permitted subject to the following conditions, in suuct'ince: "That su'h permission shall not be taken or construed as affecting the obligations, powers, righto or duties under either present or future laws of any person or corporation not a party to this cause, nor be taken or construed as an Adjudication that any party hereto has the right to acquire or hold the shares of stocks so sold or exchanged, nor as an exemption of any such party in respect of such acquisition or holding, from the operation of any law now In force or which may hereafter be enacted.

"Not only would this proviso ltave unobstructed the power of Congress hereafter to legislate in respect of the stocks or transactions In question, but If any Illegal condition Bhould result from the proposed exchange of stocks under existing law the Government could freely assail It, If so advised." Mr. Loomls for the road, objected to the suggestion as made by Mr. McReynolds that the court direct that the plan be published that all who may be interested, wcether parties to the cause or not be. 'ven opportunity lo present eny objections which they re gard as worthy of consideration.

HLI Lad be'n In ill-henlth for some menthsw FIREWORKS PERMITS ARE VERY SCARCE Fourth of July Celebration Promises to Be Exceedingly Tame.

FOLLOWING MAYOR'S ORDERS? Fire Prevention Bureau Refuses Applications From Civic Associations and Other Bodies. Life In the city Is getting to be one dull thing after another. No permits for the exhibition of fireworks on the Fourth, of July will be Issued this year to anybody, including civic organizations, local boards of trade, and such, if It is de sired to sot off more than $2 worth, whole- sale value. Such are the orders of the Municipal Explosives Commission, and it is supposed that Gnvnor has given tho orders to the Commission. Tho local Fire Prevention Bureau at the Fire D3partment Headquarters on Jay street has been swamped the past few lays with applications for permits to sot off fireworks on the Fourth, but they bavo all been refused.

The orders of the Explosives Commission are peremptory. Applications have poured in from individuals, clubs, civic organizations, and other bodies of citizens. One of the applications was from the Hltflilawn Citizens Association, which ir.ects at 2b'4 Kings Highway, and though It was proposed to set off the fireworks In a vacant lot, and an employe of the manufacturers of the explosives had been engaged to direct the exhibition, the ap-Mention was thrown out. In the past this association has given some very fine exhibitions, and every small boy in tho district made it a point to attend. There will be no such entertainment this year, unless the Mayor relents.

The only permits Issued this time are for displaying fireworks worth t'i or less at wholesale prices, and they may be set off In any street where the distance from building line to hullding line Is Si feet, which means that only broad avenues can be used for the displays. Only small pieces are likely to be set off under this regulation, because for il only a very small amount of fireworks can be purchased. No permits for the sale of firecrackers will be issued to dealers, and It ls forbidden to carry fireworks of any kind on trolley cars, or on subway and elevated tratne. Only persons with automobiles can thus hope to smuggle In fireworks from New Jersey or elsewhere. playgrTudpIns again.
