REUNION OF VETERANS
EX-CoNFEDERATES TO HOLD EN-
CAMPMENT IN JUNE.

The members of the Confederate Vet
Grams Association of this city and those
of r. f. Lee Camp of Alexandria are
gagged in making advance preparations for
attendance at the reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans. to be held at Bir
mngham, Ala, June 8, 10 and II. In
discussing the coming encampment and
reunion of the former men in gray VINO
served in the legions of Lee, jackson,
Stuart. Longstreet. Gordon and other
southern commanders. James B. keeling
said:
Few people realize the immensely of
| the task of preparing for the annual re-
| union of the United Confederate Veterans.
For three months the work of preparation
has been going on, increasing in size every
day. while nearly the same length of time
intervenes between now and the holding
of the reunion in Birmingham next June.
"Birmingham's civic pride is being eX-
| empitied in the manner of her preparation
for this great event. Solid sturdy bust
ness men with heavy business cares upon
them devoting hours of their time to
the making of the reunion a success. 1t
is safe to say that 1T would be impossible
to contract with many OF them to devote
the same amount of time to ordinary
business proposition for a salary OF less
than several hundred dollars per month.
And yet the many committees, and eSpe-
cially the executive and finance commit
tees. have been holding meetings two or
three afternoons a week for the last eight
weeks, planning for the best way of en-
PERTAINING the old fighters. and it rarely
happens that member of the committee
is absent.
Care and Comfort.
The first thing, that which is regarded
above all others, Is the care and comfort
of the veterans This is to come first and
the entertainment of the sponsors and
other social affairs afterward. Nothing
will be left undone to make the heroes of
| '61-'65 feel happy and content while they
are Birmingham's guests.
There will be thousands of them. but
Birmingham will be equal to the occasion.
To those who do not feel able to pay for
their lodging and board especial attention
will be paid. One of the largest buildings
| at the fair grounds will be converted into
a hotel for their accommodation. This
hotel will bear the name of John b.
Gordon.
Several thousand cots will be placed
in the building and the only request made
of the veterans is that they bring blankets.
Accommodations of all kinds will be
supplied. while everything palatable in the
eating line will be provided. Huge kitch-
ems will be fitted up, while expert bar
becue cooks will be kept steadily at work
from the time the reunion begins until the
finish.
There will be no limit. either, as to the
amount of food. A veteran may eat once,
twice or a dozen times day If he wishes,
as the dining room will be open all day

MANY RETURN TO WORK.
Thousands cf Men Back In Their
Places Today.

ST. LOUIS. June 1.-Thousands Oh
men thrown out of employment during
tho mistress and financial depression
are back in their old places today, as
the result of a concerted plan of all
the manufacturing and commercial
concerns in the city to make this EN-
piovmcnt day" The projet had It's orig
in with the National Prosperity asso-
citation the "Iet us alone" body, and
has been generally taken up by the
business interests of the city.
Among the big concerns which cele-
brated prosperity day were the FER
guson- Mckinney Dry Gods company,
which put back 1000 employees tenn
porarily dropped from the pay rolls
during the financial depression, and the
Ely & Walker Dry Goods company
which today started every machine IN
its factories and gave employment to
1000 men and women.
Many other concerns employed
smaller numbers of workmen and the
movement has been taken up by the
railroads and other corporations.
There is a feeling of confidence that
employment day" marks the full re-
turn of prosperity to st. Louis, and II
is likely that the plan followed mere
will be taken up in many other cities
tbrOuohOrt the country.

DEPOSITORS GETTING PAID.
Expected That All Will Get Their

NEW YORK, June Second and
third payments to depOsitors of the
Knickerbocker Trust company, due I'm

resumption plan, were paid today, and
it is likely that the big financial iDsti-
tuition. which a few months ago was
called "a hopeless wreck" win be able
to pay it's depositors in full within
a year.
When the Knickerbocker Trust CON-
rany resumed business on March 81
it offered to pay 10 per cent to all de
positors. but only a portion of these
creditors withdrew their money The
plan of resumption called for the re-
lease of 30 per cent. of all deposits, for
which depositors received surplus Ger

CITY MAY ENGAGE
A DEBT COLLECTOR
Water Department GraveIy Concerned
by Increase of Overdue Fees.

SEATTLE, June -Four thousand
| dollars worth of bad debts accumu,rv-
ed in the city's water department
are marked by city. officials for imme-
date collection. Arrangements will
/ probably be made within few days
for the municipality to enter into a.
contract with a national collection
agency to get after the delinQuents and
force them to adjust matters or get
into court.
The Sprague Mercantile agency, with
headquarters in Chicago and branches
all through the country, is now nego-
tiating with the city to handle these
bad debts
The water departments fees in most
cases have been promptly met and the
city officials consider the $4,000 as a
comparatively small amount in proper
ton to the number and size of accounts
! handled since the department was es
every day. Most of the overdue ac-
counts are due to the moving away of
1 the water consumer. Under a decision
| of the supreme court, the department
has no right to cut off water on prop
erty unless the delinquent consumer is
actually at that time the tenant of the
property.
This turning of it's delinquent ac-
counts over to a private agency for
collection is an innovation in city ar
! fairs.
