he Scores of bands and drum corps
were leading delegations OF recent
arrivals into the camp grounds.
Crowd Enormous.
The sessions of the reunion are
being held in a huge tent in Monroe
park. It looks like circus tent
with thousands of seats in the am
phitheatre and tier upon tier Of the
familiar circus benches rising all
around.
T. The tent was filed long before
the opening number and finally the
sides were raised and those outside
were permitted to see even If they
could not hear.
Ovation for Gen. Evans.
The arrival of Gen. Clement A.
Evans was the signal for the first
ovation, which drowned out the et-
forts of three brass bands, eacn
playing different air, but when
Mrs. Edwards signalled her choir to
rise and face the audience, her slen-
der figure almost shrouded in huge
silk Confederate flag, there was a
roar that outclassed even the greet
ing to the commanding general
Calls for "Dixle."
"Dixie!" was the call IRON all
over the huge tent, a band from Lit
tie Rock answering the call and an
other ear-splitting demonstration
followed. Meanwhile the chairman,
". K. P. Wilson, was pounding
vigorously for order. He started to
talk and finally quiet was restored.
The chairman succeeded in max
ing his talk and then the demands
for Dixie were complied with.
Escorted by a score of Confederate
generals in full uniform, herself
wearing a major generals insignia,
Mrs. Edwards took the stage. Sur
rounded by her choir, the orchestra
struck into the war hymn Of the
South. Mrs. Edwards clear soprano
voice filed the tent. When the song
was over, there was another demon
~~stration. Miss Vera Williams, one
of Mobiles prettiest young women,
recited an original poem and Gov.
Conner of Alabama was introduced.
The word had gone out that the
governor would have some tart
things to say about the federal gov
ernment, so he was greeted tumul-
tuously and given the closest atten-
ton.
JEFF Davis Granddaughter.
One of the prettiest incidents OF
the reunion took place after Gov.
Corners address. A slender young
woman in black had been quietly
escorted to the platform. When the
APPLAUSE greeting tie governor had
died out, Chairman Wilson said:
"While not on the program, l
want to ASK the convention to rise
ana/ greet the granddaughter of the
only president of the Confederacy,
Miss Lucy White Hayes" (Bashful-
ly) The young woman was gently
urged to the front: Her eyes filled
with tears and her lips trembled as

sinners, where through an endless eter-
nifty they were chained TO a prop"

File Bill to Sell the Catholic
Cemetery.

James Cardinal Gibbons, by Charles
Alvey, attorney, filed an amcable suit
in the Washington County Court, recently,
against the trustees of st. Mary's Cath
olic Church and others, asking for de-
cree TO sell the burial ground at Walnut
and Bethel streets, Hagerstown, the bill
stating that it would be to the interest
Of all parties concerned that the ground
be sold and the proceeds distributed
among the proper persons. The bill
further states that the ground was ded-
icated for burial purposes by the con
gregation but has ceased to be used for
such purposes, and that there is no fur
ther room for burials and the location is
no longer suitable owing to the proximity
of railroads, quarries and factories and
the place is in state of decay and over
grown with weeds and the graves Gov
cred with coal dust and rubbish. Som
of the bodies have been removed from
the burial grounds, while parts allotted 70

chase certificates, has been filled up.
Among the defendants mentioned are

Increased Cost of Living.

Secretary Wilson is now directing his
attention to the question, "Why is the
cost of living greater?"
Mr.. Wilson, through the hundreds of
field employees of his department, is
attempting to ascertain what the differ
ence is between retail and wholesale
prices for foodstuffs. He desires to know,
it was declared, why the cost of foods to
the consumer is greater and whether the
farmer, the middleman or the retail mer-
chant is to blame. The inquiry is directed
toward the increased prices of butter,
eggs, milk, apples, potatoes and other
common or garden fruits and vegetables.
Secretary Wilson began this inquiry
because he did not believe that the farm
ers of the country were receiving higher
prices than they should get for their pro-
ducts, as had been said by many so-caled
authorities who wished to explain the
higher cost of living. 1t was asserted
that he believes the middlemen are re-
sponsble for the higher prices.
Recently Mr.. Wilson made an investiga-
ton into the reported higher cost of meat.
He found, according to his annual report,
that the mean gross profits in selling
meats TO the ultimate consumer were .3S
per cent and that in some cities this per-
centage was as high as 65. This meant,
the report said that the cost to consum-
ers was 3S 10 6S per cent. above the price
the retailer paid to the wholesale mer-
chant.
The same sources of information which
were relied on to gather the data on meal
were directed to the investigation into
the prices of other foodstuffs. This in
vestigation the secretary regarded as mos
important, and it was pointed out that hs
expected to find whether there is com
bination to raise retail prices or the dis
tribution of foodstuffs is done in way
that is too expensive. 1t was said tina
congressional action may be necessar,
later.
