Washington. July 2. Former Presi
dents .Tohu Klrby nnd D. M. Pnrry ol
the National Association of Manufac
turers, about to sail for Australia
from Sun Francisco, were ordered not
to sail by Chairman Overman of the
senate lobby committee. They hnd
made all plans to depart from San
Francisco.
Parry and Klrby were directed by
wire to coino to Washington and tes
tify with re.siKct to the Mulhall charges
that the National Manufacturers' asso
ciation has for years backed a gigantic
plan of lobby, political and anti-labor
nctivity. with its roots in Washington
nnd Its ramifications all over the coun
try. Senator Overman received a long tel
cgram from the two men asking to be
let off temporarily. They said thej
bad been two months planning for the
Australian trip; that tlrey were to take
steamer; that to give up their plans
now would cost them $2,000 apiece am
put them to great inconvenience. They
ndded If they were allowed to go now
they would testify willingly on their
return.
Senator Overman talked the matter
over with members of the committee
end wired the two men not to go
Developments Come Fast.
Other developments In the lobby sit
uation, which now include everything
from sugar to the war between capital
nnd labor and from pages to presidents,
comprised an executive session of the
Overman lobby committee to map out
plans for going ahead with the investi
gation; announcement of Congressman
Nolan, union labor member from Cali
fornia, that lie would present a resolu
tion to the house demanding the books
and records of the National Manufac
turers' association; the summoning of
more witnesses by the senate commit
tee and a, request preferred by Con
gressman Sliurley of KenUicky to thd
senate committee that lie be allowed to
make a statement apropos of the Mill,
ball charges nnd the statement at thq
White House that many letters were
coming in commending the president
for striking at the lobby and demand
ing that it be scourged out of the tem
ple. At the executive meeting of tho
Overmau committee Senator Overman
insisted that It was essential to pro-
ceeu in an orderly way to clear a path
through the mass of material which
has been thrown beforo tho committee.
After the meeting it was announced
that the program would bo to meet to
day and proceed to finish up tho in
vestigation of tho Lovott charges and
nil matters pertaining thereto, includ
ing tho allegations that nn unidentified
man using tho names of tho congress
men telephoned Judge Lovett, Lewis
Cass Ledyard and other big figures in
Wall street and sought to induce them
to retain Edwnrd Lauterbach as coun
sel for tho Union Pacific.
Hear Mulhall Next Week.
After that Senator Overman and tho
committee went to finish up tho sugar
lobby investigation nnd tho wool lobby
Inquiry. Then tho probe into tho Mul
liall charges will open. Indications
now are that it will bo next week be
fore the committee begins taking evi
dence in tho Mulhall exposure.
Tho committee realizes tho gravity
of tho Mulhall charges, tho wide scope
they cover, the fact that men of promi
nence and reputation are dragged in,
and they arc of great political and in
dustrial moment To probo them will
tnko much time. That is n reason why
it is felt wise to get rid of other phases
of tho Investigation before taking up
the N. A. M. lobby.

Of this vast host a handful,, hardly

who wore tho gray nnd a scant thou

scene of their former glories. Tho
never halting, remorseless whirligig of
time has revolved for five decades of
over broadening nmity over historic
Gettysburg and over those who par
ticipated In tho great struggle there,
but It has loft few to toll at first hand
tho heroic incidents of tho struggle.
Of theso valiant veterans some nro

Tlioy of tho gray descended from the

er in the command only tho day bo
fore. So It came that on that 29th of
Juno morning fifty years ago tho first
order of the now Union leader was ono
urging tho swiftest possiblo pursuit
of tho Army of Northern Virginia,
flushed with its recent successes at
Bull Itun, Fredericksburg and Chan
cellorsvlllo and now In tho north in
vading a Union state. Tho Federal
troops wero eager to do battle for the
first titno on their own soil. Their
progress from then: storting points at
Harpers Ferry nnd Frederick was re
tarded somewhat, however, because of
wary maneuvering necessary to the
keeping of a barrier of bayonets be
tween tho gray invading enemy and
tho Washington capltol domo in the
near distance.
It is hard for tho man who bus never
"smelled powder" to realize tho pecul
iar and tho full significance of this
mighty reunion. Can wo who haw
had no share in the terrific bottle un
derstand tho complex feelings of tho
grizzled veteran who clasps tho hand
of tho very man who raised his saber
to deal him a deathblow? Think of

took no part In tho battle these, but

And what a difference between tho
Gettysburg of 1013 and tho Gettysburg
of 1803!
There was no preparation for tho ar
rival of tho blno and tho gray fifty
years ago. Tho countryside, soon to
reverberate to the boom of cannon, the
shriek of shrapnel, the groans of the
wounded and drtnz and tho hoarse
(V:
cries of men In heat of battle, lay quiec
under the summer sun or tho silent
stars. Only the subdued noises 0
wood and flctd preceded tho measured
tread of tho hosts that soon would
clash amid those peaceful surround
ings. Men rested or ate its they could,
on the bare ground or behind some
hastily constructed breastwork, If they
rested or nto at all. Tho grim, black
cloud of war hung over tho land.
The Gettysburg of 1913.'
Whnt a contrast to this picture tho
Gettysburg of 1013 presents?
For weeks the government nnd tho
state of Pennsylvania have left noth
ing undone which would make for the
comfort and health of their honored
guests. Upward of G,000 tents, each
capable of holding twelve men, but.
destined to hold only eight, wero
erected ami separate cots for each vet
eran supplied.
Every modern agency was employed
by tho government to conserve tho
health of tho old soldiers, and extraor
dinary core was token to insure tho
best medical, sanitary nnd commissary
arrangements. For this purpose all tho
avallnblo surgeons connected with tho
depnrtment of the cast were ordered
to Gettysburg; two largo field hos
pitals were equipped nnd also throe in
firmaries. Quantities of hospital ma
terial wero shipped from various gov
ernment dgnots, and tho Red Cross,
White Cross and other relief societies
sent nurses and surgeons to aid in the
work of conserving the health of tho
tented community.
The Camp Arrangement.
The camp itself was laid out under
tho direction of tho regular army. It
is about a mile and n half long by half
a mile wide and skirts the actual bat
tlefield. Immediately adjoining tt ail

rious exercises of tho celebration.
The enmp is laid out by states, hi or
der to facilitate Identification and sim
plify such matters as tho delivery of
mall and the finding of any particular
group by visitors or veterans from oth
er states. Each veteran on reporting
to tho officer in charge receives an
identification tag, which ho carries dur
