AMERICA GOT THE FLAG
Was Captured from the Chesapeake
by British Ship in 1913.
Bought At An Auction Sale for $4,25o
and Will Come to United
States.

London, Jan. 31.-The flag of the
American-man-o'w Chesapeake and
the "Balaclava bugle," two of the most
valuable war relics of a collection of
antiquities that belonged to the late
T. G. Middlebrook were secured
Thursday at the auction sale of the
collection for American buyers. The
Chesapeake flag was captured in the
fight with the British ship Shannon in
1913 and there was good bidding for
the faded and torn piece of bunting,
the authenticity of which is vouched
for in a written history of ownership
since Midshipman Grundy, of the royal
navy, came into possession of the
trophy nearly a century ago. The
flag was sold for $4,250 to a London
art-dealer, who also purchased the
bugle for $500. 1t was upon this in
strument that the order to the light
brigade to charge at the battle OF
Balaclava was sounded. The dealer
admitted that these highly interesting
curios had been purchased by him for
different parties in America, but more
than this he would not say. There
was rumor that he was acting for
Cornelius Vanderbilt but this was sub
sequently denied, and London does not
yet know in whose hands the flag and
the bugle have fallen.

Applauded the Message.

Washington, Feb. Am unusual
and almost unprecedented scene was
enacted in the house of representa-
tives Friday as the result of the read
ing of a special message to congress
by the president urging additional
legislation in the matter of relations
of labor and capital and of corpor
ations and the public. The vigorous
language of the document brought
forth storms of applause, first on thd
democratic side of the house and on
the republican and eliminating in Il
general demonstration by the entire
body. AS if in anticipation that some
thing out of the ordinary was going
to happen there was very full at
tendance of members. LONG after the
reading of the message had been cou-
cludei it was almost the sole topic OF
conversation among members IN the
floor and in the Hobbies.

There was commotion among her
people on receipt of the astounding
proposition. She lived over again
the dark days of the first fitting. 1t
might well be her uncle had exag-
gerated the dangers of life in the new
land. 1t was great fun to shock his
credulous relatives. He had surely
written them some enormous tales
during those Is years and more. He
used TO chuckle heartily to himself
at reading some of the sympathizing
replies. But these tales were held In
evidence against him now that he
dared to want Louise. Every letter
was brought out by Louise's dear old
grandmother and read to her over
again. Louise did not half believe
them, but they were gospel truth to
her grandmother and almost so to
her father and mother as well. She re-
membered the old spirit Of fun ram
pant in her favorite uncle, and while
his vivid pictures took all the color
from her sensitive face, deep down in
her heart she recognized them for
what they were worth. The letters
were strange medley of grasshoppers,
billiards. and Indians. But a ten-dol-
lar per diem was great temptation
over a five-dollar per diem, and times
were pretty hard on the old farm.
More than all, the inexplicable some
thing that had led her uncle to throw
tradition to the four winds of heaven
was calling her persistently and would
not be denied.
The dear hero Of her childhood
was much changed to be sure; his
big Joints had taken on more flesh
and he had gained in dignity of de-
pertinent what he had lost in ease OF
movement. His once merry eye had
grown keen with the years of just
judging. The lips that had laughed
so much in the old days were set in
lines of sternness. Judge Hammond

ditions in the locality demand addi-
tional circulation, approve the same,
and shall determine the time of issue
and fix the amount, within the limita-
lions hereinafter imposed, of the addi-
tional circulating notes to be issued.
In order that the distribution of notes
TO be issued under the provisions of
this act shall be made as equitable as
practicable between the various sec
tons of the country, the secretary of
the treasury shall not approve appll-
cations from associations in any state
in excess of the amount to which such
state would be entitled of the addi-
tional notes herein authorized on the
basis of the proportion which the I'M
impaired capital and surplus of the
national banking associations in such
state bears to the total amount OF I'M
impaired capital and surplus of the
national banking associations of the
United States: provided, however,
that in case the applications from as
sociations in any state shall not be
equal to the amount which the asso-

titled to under this method of distri-
button, the secretary of the treasury

Urgency. assign the amount not thus
applied for to any applying associa-
ton or associations in the states in

so far, to refuse to go on seemed like

wired Richard Gordon that she would
go. But it was pretty hard now. to

into Velpen knowing that she would
see no one she knew in all the wide,
