SONS OF VETERANS
Attendance Not Large-Many Camps
Reported as Reing in Arrears

Louisville, June 1.-THE United
Sons OF Confederate Veterans met to-
day in Hopkins theatre, the opening
session being delayed until nearly IL
O'Clock by late arrivals. The attend
ance was not large. The convention
was called to order by Marion w. Rip
ley, lieutenant commander of the local
camp of Sens OF Veterans, in the alb
sence of John c. Davidson, the COM
mandant After the invocation, Colo
nel W. r. Bingham, of Louisville, wei
coined the delegates to Louisville ana
Kentucky. The response was by Hon.
L 2. Stone, of Waco, Texas, past
commander-in-chief.
Colonel \. r. Tisdal. of Rusk, Texas,
then addressed the convention.
The report of Adjutant General
Stockett. was then read. The report
says in part:
I'm the interest of economy of labor
and money, every camp that is now III
arrears for two years should be drop
ped from the rolls.
Considerable time has been devoted
to the investigation Of the cause of
| this apparent lethargy, and l believe IT
is traceable to the fact that reunion
has not been held in the extreme east
ern section for eight years.
THE list is as follows:
Virginia 16 paid up camps and Il
in arrears.
"West Virginia 5 paid up and 8 In
arrears.
South Carolina 8 paid up and 46 il
arrears.
North Carolina 2 paid up and II II
arrears.
FLORIDA paid up and in arrears
Georgia 3 paid up and % in arrears
There has been an increase of those
falling into arrears. In my humble
opinion it will take reunion in tina
section to create revival of interest
y After the transaction of some fur
ther routine business the convention
adjourned, the delegates marching IN
body to the horse show.

Britain's reply to the sultan's invita-

agreement with Franc.
Count Won NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., head

1t is expected that the reply OF the

CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT
BoScott Of American Goods Based OIL
Misccnception of This Govern
mcnt's Intentions.

Pekin. June H.-The agitation and
proposed boycott of American goods
by Chinese merchants is apparently
based upon a misconcept1on by the
Chinese of American intentions in re-
Gard to the exclusion act. Both Chi
nese and Americans are agreed upon
the point that the exclusion Of coohes
is the chief matter under consideration,
and that he act deals with the treat
ment of other classes. A discussion OF
the subject will be necessarily prolong-
ed and to arrange new convention
will take time. Mr.. Rockhlll, the
American minister, has assured the
Chinese that Americas intentions are
fair and conciliatory, and the Chinese
board of foreign affairs is apparently
satisfied upon the subject
This movement is unlikely to attain
any serious proportions although 1t is
significant indicating the importance
which is attached by the Chinese 70

can exclusion act.

Washington, June 14.-Gradually the
the negotiations for peace In the far
East are nearing a focus. The one
point to which the energies of tEose di-
rectly concerned in them now are be-
ing directed is the choice OF a place for
the holding of the conference of the
plenipotentiaries of the belIigerent
powers.
1t is known officially that three cit.
les now are under consideration by
Russia and Japan. These cities, named
in the order Of the likelihood Of their
final selection, are Washington. The
Hague and Geneva.
Thus far no decision has been reach
ed. Paris and London have been alien
ated from the equation. 1t is under
stood that The Russian government Oh
jects to any Asiatic city, its preference
being for some European capital.
After objecting to the holding Of the
conference in Paris, the Japanese gov
ernment expressed willingness to
consider other places which offered
adequate facilities, although 1t Is as
sured that Japan's preference would be
some far eastern city, practically with
in the theatre of war.
Finally, however, the selection seems
to have narrowed down to the three
cities named. Objections have been
made by the Japanese to The Hague,
but it Ia not believed that those Objec-
tiOns are fundamental or unalterable.
However, as the situation now Is.
Washington appears to be the city
most likely to be selected. 1t can be
said, on authority. that il the confer
ence is held i'm the United States it
| will be i'm Washington. No other place
in this country has been considered Sc
riously.
After the selection of the place OF
the plenipotentiaries, the two govern
ments will name those who ere to rep
resent them at the conference. Then
an armistice between the contendine
armies i'm the field will be arranged
and, pending the result of the peace
conference, the great armies facing
each other in Manchuria will lie OF
their arms awaiting the final sigma
from their governments.

The beginning of American govern
Champoeg, Ore, in 1913, says a writer
in the Worlds Work A monument
has been erected there to commence
rate the event. The vote by which
the settlers decided to organize under
American influences rather than re-
main under the control of the British
Hudson Bay Company was carried by
but a majority of two-and the ma
jority was made by British subjects
From the time of first settlement the
Northwestern country had been gov
erned by the Hudson Bay factors. A
treaty Of "joint occupancy" made by
Great Britain and the United States in
1918, made no provision for any legal
procedure. The discontinued Ameri-
cans held wolf meetings" ostensibly
to organize protection against wolves.
but in reality to find out the strength
of the American spirit.
AT last out of this a report was
made to "the inhabitants Of the Villa
mette Settlement on May 2. 1S43,
calling a meeting at Champoeg. There
one hundred and two men assembled
Americans, English and French.
Discussion over the question of or
ganizing the civil government ran high.
In the assembly were many men who
mad come West in youth, and who
had never attended any political gath
ering, and many other men who had
spent most Of their lives in the woods.
vi the former was Joseph L. Meek, a
gigantic young Virginian. At a critf-
cal point Of the meeting, when the
question was before the house. Meek
called out:
Who's for divide, follow mey'
He rushed from the house followed
by the rest. They quickly formed in
two lines.
Far down in the line Of those on
posed to the question a stalwart
was seen in loud de-
bate and strenuous gesticulation with
another. At last the other yielded.
and together they stepped over to the
American line.
Inc sides were counted. The renort
was adopted by vote Of ffty-two TO
nIty, and by SO close a decision and
without the permission of the Unified
states government, the first American
CIVIL government ON the Pacific coast
was established.

Throughout the East the rural school
population has dwindled to half what

that the degree and kind of learning

country pupils are taken back and
