OBJECTS TO REUNION OF
The BLUE AND GRAY
The Proposition is Opposed by The
Veterans.

The Propositions Is Opposed by The
Veterans.
That the proposed reunion of the Blue
and the Gray in Birmingham during
the general reunion of the Confederate
Veterans there June O., 10 and IL is
generally distasteful to members of the
United Confederate Veterans Associa-
ton Is becoming more and more evil
dent
The disapprobration of the plans for
a commingling of the veterans of the
armies and the endorsement of the
policy of General Stephen d. Lee. who
is commander in Chief of the ~ United
Confederate Veterans seems to be the
pleasure of the men In Gray in many
camps.
That the people responsible for the
proposition that the Grand Army of the
Republics members and the Confeder-
ates should unite in a meeting to
evince their friendship is regarded as
an effort on the part of Birmingham
to give a spectacular show in which
the feelings of the men Of both armies
would be played upon as a, sort of pub
lie show.
Writing of the proposed reunion of
Blue and Gray Clement Saussy, of
Savannah, Ga, made communication
to The Savannah Press, part of which
follows:
L Ilrniy DelleVe ndd any Sucn meet
ing been thought of when we accept
ed the invitation of the city of Birm-
ingham for the general reunion while
at our convention in Richmond, Va.
last June, some other city would have
been selected. for as General Lee says.
the recollections of the Confederate
cause for which the soldiers fought is
very sacred to them. and it would not
be very pleasant for them to make a
spectacular show of their feelings.
1T therefore looks to me as If Birm-
ingham is going to try this double
reunion for a spectacular affair, and
to be used in advertising the city
And as we as Confederates do not de-
sire this kind of display, hope the good
people of Birmingham will select
separate dates for their reunions.
Otherwise, I hope General Lee. as COM
handing genral of the United Confed-
crate Veterans. Will call the reunion
in some other city, where they do not
wish the Confederate soldier to so
freely mix with our Yankee neiGhbors
Again the monument to the niartyred
Major Wertz. is to he unveiled at
AndeTsonville. Ga. on June 3. just six
days prior to this convention. and as
the Confederates and the Yankees diff
fer more on this Andersonville ques-
tion than any other incident of the
great war between the States why in
stead of being a love-feast, l fear 1t
will be a mix-up. and the war might
break out again. We had better go
slow on this double reunion business
and l hope, as stated above. that we
will be allowed to hold our conven-
ton. as was anticipated when VIC
selected Birmingham for the place"

ROBBERS CAUGHT
NEGROES WHO ASSAULTED AND
ROBBED J. =. HARRIS.


Tuscumbia, Jan. 19.--(SpeciaI 1.-THE
police Of this city believe they have
captured the robbers who recently
held up" J. F. N. Harris, promi-
nent merchant Of Tuscumbia, whom
they beat into insensibility and left
for dead near Hariss home on Fifth
Street, for which crime VIII Under
wood, negro. was arrested and is now
IN jail awaiting the action of the Col
bert County grand jury.
Last night Policeman Gray, while
making his nightly rounds Of the
southern Railway passenger station,
detected a negro proving about the
building and peering into the windows.
Tbs negro's actions impressed the ON
Ger ~ being suspicious. and he was
taken in charge. The negro gave his
Name as Sid Fletcher. After being
searched BY the officer a bunch of keys
belonging to J. F. M Harris was
found in the Negroes pocket. When
questioned as to where he got the KEYS
be stated to the officer that they were
Biven to him by VIII Underwood. Fur
fher questioning ~asd Inquiry brought
out 3 confession from the negro
Fletcher, who stated that he. viii On
dcrwood, Burney Malone and Shack
Cooper were all implicated in the muir
derous assault upon Harris.
Fletcher states that VIII Underwood
dealt the blow which nearly CAUSED
Harris's death, and after securing the
zakter's pocketbook took the keys to
his store house on Main Street. and
turned them over to his three accom-
pIices. who burglarized the store At
ter assaulting Harris, Underwood went
direct to his home. where he was trail
ed by bloodhounds, arrested and placed
IN jail on the charge of robbery and
assault with intent to murder.
Fletcher also states that on the night
Of the hold up" he and Shack Cooper
concealed themselves behind a cor
saer. II being understood that Under
wood and Malone were to make the
attack, and that. If necessary. the for
mer were to rush to their assistance
An argument arose between Underwood
and Malone as to which should deal
the blow, both being anxious to strike
Harris. 1t finally being decided that
Underwood. who was the larger man
OF the two. should make the attack
as he stated that he desired to kill
Harris.
The arrest of the negroes. with two
others to be arrested. whose names
were given by Fletcher. lead the city
authorities to believe that they have
the right men, and that the bold and
mysterious assault upon one of this
cfty's prominent business men will soon
be cleared up. <The four negroes, I'm

the armada will rest for five days be-
fore 1t finishes the passage through

Company Being Organized To Lessen

Company Being Organized To Lessen
Dangers OF This Passage.
Berlin, Jan. 19.-The impending pas
sage of the American battleships
through the Strait of Magellan and the
widespread discussion among naviga-
tors regarding the dangers of that
passage. lend unusual interest to the
announcement that a company is being
organized in Denmark to establish a
complete towing service in those
waters.
According to a despatch to The vos-
sische Zeitung from Copenhagen the
scheme originates with the we'll known
Danish writer, Otto LARSEN. who was
himself for many years a sailor and
often made the voyage around the
Horn,
The number of sailing vessels from
English German, Dutch and Scandi-
navian ports passing around from the
Atlantic into the Pacific is estimated
at about 5000 yearly. AS is we'll
known this is one of the most dan
gerous points in the oceans of the
world. LARSEN estimates that an av-
erage of ten vessels with 800 men are
left there every year.
The vessels that round the cape are
mostly on their way to Chinese ports
for the purpose of taking on cargoes
of nitrate of soda for European mar
kets, and as most of them make the
outward voyage under. ballast. owing
to the difficulty of finding outward
cargo, their passage around the Horn
is attended with special danger.
Vessels must waste much time in
buffeting with wind and wave, and
even after rounding the Cape they
often need repairs owing to the strain
that they have underEohe. 1t takes
