WAS A VERY LARGE PROCESSION
OF THE MEN WHO WORE
THE GRAY
Line at Louisville Led by General
Stephen D. Lee-Many Southern
States Represented

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 16.-The
grand parade, probably the most in
teresting feature of the annual re-
union oso far as the rank and file of
the Confederate veterans is concerned
took place today. The line of march
was two miles long and a novel fea-
ture was the countermarch to enable
the veterans to see one another. De-
spite the advanced age of all of them,
and the bodily infirmaties of many, the
old soldiers went through the ordeal
in splendid shape and made a brave
show as they tramped along under
waving flags and banners, to the music
of countless bands and with the APP
plause of thousands Of spectators ring
ing in their ears.
The principal point of interest along
the line of march was the corner Of
Fifth and Jefferson streets, where was
located the grand stand, from which
the parade was reviewed by the city
and county officials and other distin-
guished guests. A large part of the
stand was set aside for the veterans
who did not feel strong enough to
march in the parade.
The line was led by General Steph-
en- D. Lee, commanding the Confeder-
ate Veterans and his staff. The first
division consisted of the Army of
Northern Virginia. but the familiar fig
ure of General Wade Hampton, it's
commander was among the missing.
The North Carolina division came first,
then came the Maryland division, the
Virginia division, the District of Co
lumbia division, and the South Caro-
lima and West Virginia divisions. The
second section consisted of the trans
| Mississippi department of the United
Confederate Veterans. The six div1-
sions of this department in the order
of line consisted of the veterans of
| Missouri, Texas, Arkansas, Indian ter
| ritory and Oklahoma, and those from
the Pacific division.
After the trans Mississippi depart
ment came the flower-bedecked carri-
ages of the sponsors and maids of hon.
or, who came to Louisville from all
over the South under appointment of
the Confederate veterans. The carri-
ages were grouped according to de-
partments and divisions. This part of
the parade made a beautiful picture.
and received much applause. After the
sponsors and maids of honor, came the
lady visitors and other guests, also in
carriages.
Next in line came the Department
of the Army of Tennessee, General
Stephen D. Lees old command. This
embraced the veterans of Georgia,
Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Flor
ida and Louisiana. Bringing up the
rear of the Army of Tennessee depart

Of the parade was the Kentucky divi-
sion. Immediately after it was the
section assigned to the Sons of Veter-
ans, who are holding their reunion in
Louisville. The various camps made
a good showing, many of them being
completely uniformed in gray.
A number of carriages contained the
disabled veterans who desired to be
in the parade, but were not physically |
able to stand the strain Of marching.
They received frequent cheers along

southern point of Blake Island. He
has been paying the state ten cents an
acre therefor. His lease expired June
1, and prior thereto he submitted an
offer to the state to release at ten
cents. The state asked 25 cents an
acre, but before the lease was issued
w. H. Pelton offered to pay 81 per acre.
Colman claimed to be the owner of
valuable improvements on the land
and as such claimed the preference
right to release. The land office noti-
fled him of Pelton's offer and Colman
agreed to pay the price bid by Pelton.
T. M. Vance, attorney for Pelton,
claimed that the land should be leas-
ed at public auction but the attorney
general decided against MIN.
Under an Interpretation of the law
followed by the land office for several
years the office decided to release to
Colman at 81 per acre.
Mr.. Trimble telegraphed an offer of
$40 per acre, and later appeared in the
land office and made a tender for the
land in gold.
Assistant Land Commissioner Niles
on the groud that he had already as
sured Colman that he could lease at 81
per acre, refused Tribes offer of ten
times that amount.
w. P. Poison, by his attorneys,
Vance & Mitchell, has applied to the
supreme court for an injunction re-
straining the land commission from is
suing a writ to Colman or to any PEI
son without first offering the same at
public auction.
1t has been the custom of the depart
ment in releasing state lands to fix
it's own price for the original lessee
and improver to pay. Then, if any
one is aware of the releasing and sub
mits a higher bid, the Office permits
the lessee and improver to release at
The complaint filed in the supreme
court contends that this is not in COM
pliance with the law; that the intent
of the law is that the land shall be Of
| fered at public auction after due ad-
! vertisement and that thereafter the
| less and improver may take the land
at the highest rate.
Law Is Attacked
Aside from this contention, however
it will be claimed that the law itself
is unconstitutional in attempting tc
give anyone a vested right to release
state land.
| The complaint filed also alleges that
| Colman is not an improver by contract
in good faith. 1t alleges that three
| days before the expiration of mis- five
year lease on Sunday, May %, ''the
said Colman began the construction OF
small board shack or shanty upor

no good faith and hontest intention tc

for the purpose of attempting to claim

expiration of his term as lessee
| It is declared that the shack is not
an improvement, and that Colman is
not the owner of the improvements
valuable or otherwise upon the land
The complaint also contends that when
