GENERAL GORDON
 TALKS TO VETERANS

sandusky. O., June s.-If Robert E. Lee was a traitor then John Hampden was a traitor, Oliver Cromwell was a traitor and George Washington was a traitor, de- clared Gen. George Gordon, commander in-chief of the United Confederate Vet erans, at the unveiling of Johnsons island monument today.
 The speaker addressed large assem- blage of veterans of the civil war of the south. their wives and children, who had come to do honor to the confederate dead who are buried on the site of the war time prison.
 Sir Moses Ezekiel, who designed the monument and who himself fought in the army of the south, failed to put in an ap- pearance.
 In the presence of several hundred southerners, representing nearly all the states in the confederacy, the monument was dedicated today.
 The monument, erected by the Robert Patton chapter. of the United Daughters of the Confederacy of Cincinnati, was unveiled by Mrs. Mary Patton Hudson of Cincinnati. daughter of Robert Patton A noted southern ranger.
 Other addresses were delivered by Gen. Bennett H. Young of Louisville, Ky, and Joseph A. Mangus of Cincinnati.

Calitri, Italy, June S.-The ruins of Calitri and adjoining villages were in spected today by King Victor Emman- uel and Queen Helena. Most of the houses in Calitri have been destroyed, and the people who escaped from the effects of the earthquake yesterday are camping In the fields. Thirty-two bodies have been uncovered, while eight or ten more are thought to be still under the fallen walls. Two were taken out in the presence of the King.
 One section of the town is almost completely buried under the walls of a feudal castle, which was toppled over by the first heavy shock and came rushing down the hill, crushing the houses below. The work of excavating Is being carried on rapidly by the civil authorities and soldiers, but contrary to the experiences at Messina and Reggie, no one is being unearthed alive. A 2-year-old baby. however. was found close by a heap of wreck age unharmed.

GOVERNOR CARROLL
 IS RENOMINATED

Des Moines. Ia., June S.-With only five counties missing, Governor Carroll, re- publican, Is renominated by 706 votes. The missing counties are known as Carroll strongholds, and probably will bring his total majority up to 1900 or 2000.
 The surprise of the election is the ma jority rolled up Judge Prouty, progressive, over Congressman Hull. Prouty carried every county in the district, his unofficial majority being 31o6. Even the most san guine progressive had hoped for little bet ter than small margin. Two years, ago Hull was nominated by 40 votes over Pro,ry. The remarkable shift is attribu- ted solely to antagonism to the course of the standpat congressman, of whom Hull was one, on the traiff and railroad legis- lation. President Taft early in the cam paign spoke in this city in support of the administration policies.
 The defeat of Garst which is admitted by the Register and Leader (progressive) by so small margin Is held to indicate to some the- general sentiment of the state on national affairs.

BY WALTER HARPER

Auburn, June S.-(Special.)- )-The thirty-eighth annual commencement of the Alabama Polytech nic institute came to a close tonight with the annual hop in Langdon hall. It was the climax of that have been held in connection with the commencement exercises.
 Dr. Harvey w. Wiley, chief chemist of the United States, delivered the com- mencement address at l0:3O o'clock this morning. The address was delivered to a large and attentive audience. His ject was success and he applied his argument to the technical training of the mind and specific application of ones energies to some one purpose ..n life.
 Following the address of Dr. Wiley the diplomas and distinctions were awarded by President c. c. Thach of the institute. One hundred and sixteen graduates go out from the college this year and it is notable fact, worthy of remark, that practically every man goes from the college into some respon- sible position that has been waiting for him. Some of these graduates have had as many as three and four offers from large manufacturing and businos 50 concerns. There seems to be no lack of Alabama Polytech nic institute with dis tinction.

CRITICISM MADE BY SENATORS OF REPORT ON
 RIVERS AND IIARBORS BILL

Washington, June 8.-Characterizing the rivers and harbors bill as "pork bar rel,'' Senators Burton of Ohio and New lands of Nevada, today severely criti- cised the conference report on that meas ure, which was called up in the Senate by Senator Nelson.
 Mir. Newlands expressed the hope that the President would veto the bill, be- cause, he said, 1t did not provide for suf- ficient expert work nor for the system of cooperation which he thinks should prevail in the improvement of waterways.
 Senator Burton devoted especial atten- tion to the retention of the provision in the interest of the lakes to the gulf deep waterways project.
 The charge of pork barreling was made by MT. Burton in connection with the assertion that there had been an eff fort by the framers of the bill to have 1t cover as much of the country as pos sible. Of the Ss1 congressional districts, he said that 296 were represented in the bill, making a most admirable geographi-

MERIDIAN VISITED
 BY DAMAGING FIRE

Meridian, Miss, June S.-(Special. .)-The largest and most destructive fire in Merid- ian for months broke out in the wholesale grocery department of the Lyle stores this morning at o'clock.
 When the fire department was notified a general alarm was turned in and by the time the various departments arrived the wholesale grocery, which is one of the largest in the state, was almost a solid sheet of flames. The fire originated in the second story, but the origin Is unknown
 The contents were a complete loss and the building was practically ruined. The Tom Lyle stores practically cover the space of a block on Front street, and when it was thought the fire was out the department started to leave when smoke was seen to be issuing from the third story of the dry goods department. which adjoined the wholesale grocery store, and by hard work this building was saved. but the goods all over the building were damaged from fire and water.
 In the cyclone a few years ago Tom Lyles stores were swept away, but he refused all aid, and has one of the great est business houses of the state His loss, including everything, is variously esti- mated at from s75,ooO to s10o,o00. fully pro- tected by insurance.

cal distribution. To this desire to aid Congressmen in promoting their chances of election, he attributed the circum- stance that of the 174 new projects pro- vided for in the bill, not half could be completed with the money appropriated.
 Calling attention to the fact that the House conferees had insisted upon leaving out all the projects inserted by the Sen ate. which did not have the approval of the board of engineers, he declared that in retaining the appropriation for the deep waterways, the House had violated It's own rules and at the same time had en- tered upon a scheme which would cost much more than all of the others. He de- clared that the big project would cost hundreds of millions of dollars before be- ing completed.
 Senator Nelson said that the conferees had shaved the Senate bill to the extent of s7O0 00O, leaving a total of $5l,Sf, ,O00 He said that of the 203 amendments in- serted by the Senate all but 19 had been retained in some form. Consideration Of the rivers and harbors report had not been concluded when the Senate ad- journed.
