BLUE AND GRAY REUNION.
Plans to Further Project for Joint
Encampment of All Veterans.

A great gathering of veteran soldier and
sailor organizations in this city in 1910 is
proposed by the officers of the Association
of the Blue and the Gray and Their Sons.
Rev. E.. Henry Byrons Of Danbury,
Conn.,. one Of the organizers Of the vet
Grams of the blue and the gray, in a
communication to Z. s. Arnold of the
Post Office Department. who is also a
member of the organization. has taken
up the proposition contained in a reso-
luton adopted at the recent Spanish
War Veterans national encampment at
Boston. The resolution recommends that
in the future the Grand Army Of the Re-
public. the United Confederate Veterans
and the United Spanish War Veterans
hold their annual encampments on the
same date and in the same city.
Rev Byrons says the matter will be
taken up by the Blue and the Gray So
ciety and an effort made to bring it to
fruition. He also proposes that the latter
organization will meet also with the other
veteran societies.
Commodore F. B. Allen of Hartford.
Conn, president of the Blue and the
Gray, who Is man of means, favors the
combination sessions of the patriotic
bodies. The next meeting of the Blue and
the Gray will be held next February at
Fitzgerald, Ga. when the matter will be
given important consideration.

WIRELESS ON SCHOONER.
Pendleton Sisters Only Sailboat So
Eouipped

The schooner Pendleton Sister of New
York. in port here unloading Maine ice,
is equipped with a wireless telegraph out
fit. and is said to be the only sailing YES
sci afioat. under any flag. so equipped
Running from the fore to the mizzen
topmasts of the vessel are the aerial
wires Down in the after cabin are the
receiving and sending instruments.
Capt. Small, master of the big schoon-
err who is something of an electrician and
takes lively interest in the wireless sys-
tenn, installed the apparatus. He and his
engineer are operators.
The captain states that on the voyage
down from Maine he caught many mes
sages from vessels at sea sending to New
York. Off Cape Henry he was In COM
munication with the wireless operator
for several hours.
1t has only been a short time since the
system was installed on the ship. AS
Capt. Small had no previous knowledge
Of telegraphy, he is now picking 1t up.
He knows the code. and if messages come
in slowly he can take them. If they are
fired at him like bullets out of gun he
gets confused
1t is his intention. however. to string
wires from his cabin to the donkey engine
room of the schooner while the vessel is
in port here. and he and the engineer can
practice.
'Give me fifteen days longer" says the
captain. land I will have the code down
, so perfect that the drafted operators can
send it as fast as they want, and L bet
I'll take it,
Wireless on a coasting schooner is
great novelty. but the example of Capt.
Small will doubtless be followed by many
other schooner masters soon as 1t is
known that the Pendleton Sisters has
wireless aboard. The outfit OH the schoon-
Is neat and nrPttv and tS the
pride of the heart of its owner and op-
orator.

NO QUESTION PENDING.
Commissioners Check to Termina
Company Closed Incident.

Although statements have been made
public to the contrary. the Commission
ers stated today that there is no question
pending in the District offices, before the
corporation counsel or any other officer
as to the certificate of the Commits ioners
for the payment to the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company of the 81, 500 900
which the Union station legislation pro-
rided should be paid as contribution to
the Washington terminal Improvement,
one-half by the District and the other
half by the United States.
The act provides that the sum so ap-
propriated shall be paid upon presentation
OF d certificate by the Commissioners of
the District of Columbia that the said
viaduct has been completed as required by
this act
When the certificate was issued to the
railroad company in August, the railroad
company took it to the Treasury Depart
ment and the money was paid. The au-
d1tor of the District thought that the rail-
road company should have brought the
certificate to the District building so that
the transaction might be recorded in the
District offices, but that was not done
and the money was paid by the Treasury
the incident was closed
NO question was ever raised by anybody
as to the action of the Commissioners
