BROOKLYN MEN EN ROUTE. Trainloads Leave Pennsylvania Station This Morning--Big Representation From Grant Post.

Gettysburg, June 30-Twenty-Ave thousand veterans in Blue and Gray, the bigest army of its kind that has been gathered together in fifty years, woke today on the 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 the hills of the Blue Ridge. Before the electric lights of this modern camp were turned out, to make way for the sun, the veterans were 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, and by tonight they will be prepared to tent and mess the more than 40,000 men without hitch or delay.

There was no set programme today. and the veterans were left free to look up old friends and old enemies, swap they of '63 saw and ft. enjoy themselves in any Just as 6000 as the rations of bacon and eggs and coffee, "fruit in fresh bread butter, were disposed of, the real inspection of the battlefeld and the retelling of the story of Gettysburg began, with all the pointed criticism that the private soldier knows 80 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, ag he 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 Pennsylvanian as they shook bands.

Survivors of Buford's and Wheeler's Cavalry Give Reception. The only set event today was the joint reception by the survivors of General Buford's cavalry and the Southerners of General Wheeler's cavalry to the 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 Chambersburg 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 Contederate Corps on the July morning until General Reynolds arrived and took command and Wheeler's men helped to make that joint affair a warm one. Relatives of General Meade, General Longstreet, General Pickett and General Hill arrived today and were given quarters in the town.

Colonel J. M. Schoonmaker, chairman of the Pennsylvania commission, announced today that 35 governors had accepted invitations to be 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 anniversary encampment commemorating Battle of Gettysburg, there are ering up a quiet little street of the town seven gray -haired women who, fifty years ago, acted as volunteer nurses for Union to no one of the seven are the recollecand Confederate to veterans alike.

Perhaps tions of that time more vivid than they are to Mrs. Salome M. Stewart, a native of Gettysburg, who, except for an interval of a few years, has lived in the same house that was used as an emergency hospital during the famous battle. At Mrs. Stewart's home has been established the headquarters for the surviving nurses of the war between the States.

One arrival yesterday was Mrs. Clarisa 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 the anniversary are: Miss Cornelia Hancock, Philadelphia: Mrs. Margaret Hamilton, Wakefield, Mrs.

Mary Stevens, Peabody, Mrs. Annie, Irving, Newburgh, N. and Mrs. Helen Cole, Sheboygan Falls, Wis. Among the arrivals at the Veterans camp yesterday was General Daniel Sickles, who declined hotel quarters la favor of 8 tent pitched upon the site where he lost his leg during the battle, General Sickles WAS escorted to his tent by a cavalry detail and was cheered lustily by wearers of both the blue and the gray.

Hot Weather Burdensome to Aged Veterans. (Special: The Eagle.) Gettysburg, June 30-Last night was cool, after a bot day, and is followed today by bistering beat. The result 1s great discomfort to the aged veterans. One blanket was served to each one. Two are given today, Through the courtesy of Lieutenant E.

0. Saunders and of Lieutenant Simon Bolivar Buckner, son 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. There is no sickness reported. The tents are rapidly filling up, but there is still plenty of room.

Prices tor everything, in shops and elsewhere, are moderate, 50. far. T. Turner, superintendent of the troiley line over th battlefield, 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, coming down the street, with a big sash crossing his breast diagonally.

On this was printed F. Marks of Charlotte, North with his company and the number of a Confederate North Carolina Regiment. He told Superintendent Turner that he was the representative of the Governor of Montana to the reunion. He was anxious to And a place on the line of battle 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 incldents of the fatal event the tears rolld down his 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 Chancellorsville. Mr. Turner is also superintendent of the Gettysburg Lighting Company, and had the contract for installing the electric lights in the great camp.

There are 500 street lights, on 635 poles and some 300 interior lights, altogether 26 miles, and all done in less than thirty eighthour days. Brooklynites can form a good idea of the appearance presented by Gettysburg now. It resembles Coney Island in everything except size, and the enormous crowds. If a decent four-track railroad were completed between this place and Harrisburg the town would 800n come into its own, in visitors to the field on which was fought 011e of the greatest battles in the history of the world. Colonel Lewis V.

Beitler has just come Into the press camp, with a telegram from President Woodrow Wilson, announcing that he will be here on July 4. A few minor accidents have occurred, including a head-on collision between two trolley cars at the siding opposite the Devil's Den, today. Several persons were injured, none serlously, LOCAL G. A.

Smith, Amy Wren. DISSOLUTION PLAN SUBMITTED TO COURT Attorney General McReynolds Files Statement at St. Paul. SCHEME HAS A STRING. Government Stipulates That New Stock Arrangement Be 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 offcials 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 of 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. Loomis and H.

W. Clarke represented 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 Company of 352,924 shares ($38,292,400) of the capital stock of the Southern Pacific Company now owned or controlled by the 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 ($42,547,200) 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 seprate the Southern Pacife Company from the Union Pacific Company and to that extent breaks up the particular unlawful combination between them assailed in the original bill and now before the court for dissolution. "Moreover it divests the Pennsylvania Railroad Company of a largo amount of capital stock of an active competitorthe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Comthereby remedies a highly oblectionable coudition. So far as 1 am able to ascertain. 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 38.66 per cent.

of the capital stock of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company would own 14 per cent. of the capital stock of the Southern Pacife Com. pany. "Since the proposed exchange would be a substantial step in the 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 law 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-competitive 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 lines do not connect so as to form a continuous route, nor do those of the Union Pacific and the Baltimore and Ohio.

"Furthermore, while at present no federal law forbids one railroad company from owning steek in another non-competitive line, Congress may hereafter deem it advisable to change the national polley in that regard; and the courts may Interpret existing laws SO as to give them meanings different from those Dow accepted. 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 cortainly apply to the holdings which the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the Union Pacific Railroad Company would acquire by the proposed exchange, said exchange should only be permitted subject to the following conditions, in substance: "That such permission shall not be taken or construed as affecting the obligations, powers, rights 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 05 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 leave unobstructed the power of Congress hereafter to legislate in respect of the stocks Oy transactions in question, but if any Illegal condition should result from the proposed exchange of Government stocks could under existing law the freely assail it, it so advised." Mr. Loomis for the road, objected to the suggestion made by Mr. McReynolds that the court direct that the plan be published that all who may be interested, whether parties to the cause or not be.

He also presented to the court the name of the Central Trust Company of New York to act as trustee in the sale FIFTY YEARS AFTER THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG; GROUP OF VETERANS WHO LEFT THIS CITY TODAY TIFFANY Co.

In objecting to the publication of the plan as suggested by the attorneygeneral, Mr. Loomis maintained that it would only cause further delay, which would be unfair to the road.

Mr. Todd declared that In the opinion of the attorney-general, publication ot the plan, as in the case ot the American Tobacco Company would be advisable, in order that any objeotions might be presented to the court by interested parties.
