BROTHERS HAVE RARE
REUNION AT FRANKLIN

Fairmont, July 14:-Charles and
Theodore Glazer met at the l~atter's
home here Wednesday for the first
time In forty-slx years and what they
had to tell each other and a third
brother was enough to keep them go
ing a week, only they had to sleep
and eat a little. The brothers were
among ten few persons rescued from
the ship New Era, which in 1854
foundered on the New Jersey coast
at a point near where Asbury Park
visitors now enjoy surf bathing, and
800 passengers were drowned.
1t was their fate, too, to fight on
opposing sides in the war of the
states. They had migrated from
Germany. Theodore had gone to
Virginia to live and he imbibed the
spirit Of the Confederacy, while
Charles settling down to farm life
in Jersey, was among the brave vol
nuteers who went out on Lincoln's
call. Theodore went to the front as
a member of Branch's Petersburg
Battery, an integral part of the Army
Of Northern Virginia, which was
commanded by General Robert E.
Lee. 1t took part in a majority of
the more important engagements, in
cIuGiFs 4nttetam end G~ettys6GTg.
With the same spirit of patriotism,
Charles enlisted with the First ew
Jersey Cavalry, which IA a part of
the Army of the Potomac. The cav-
airy. by a coincidence, participated
in all of the struggles in which
Branch's Battery was engaged. 1t
was not long after the start of the re-
bellion that the brothers, by accident,
learned they were lighting against
each other. Then after each engage
ment they made 1t a part of their
duty to search for each other in the
field of the dead and wounded.

turned at an acute angle and the

of the boys was hurt. but though the

IMMUNITY FEARED
FOR STEEL TRUST
Congressional Probe Opposed
for This Reason.

A Congressional investigation of the So
called steel trust is not looked upon
with kindly eye by officials OF the De-
partment of Justice. Officials of that de-
partment fear that il the threat of a
Congress investigation made by Repre-
sentative Stanley, of Kentucky, and other
Democrats is carried out, the steel trust
would get immunity from prosecution that
might be brought liz the courts
There is no present intention upon the
part of Attorney General Wickersham to
prosecute the steel trust. He believes
that there has been enough trust busting
in his department for the time being and
is anxious to learn the attitude of the
Supreme Court in regard to the Standard
Oil Company and the American Tobacco
Company before he proceeds with other
suits of similar nature.
In support of the contention that testi-
mony before a Congress investigating
committee might grant immunity to the
steel trust the case of the Chicago pack
ers is cited. The investigation by James
Rudolph Garfield, when Commissioner of
Corporations, gave the packers immunity
in the eyes of United States Judge Hum
phrey. who effeCtually quashed proceed
ings brought later by the department
under the sherman antitrust law
sweeping investigation by Congress
into the formation and range of the steel
trusts activities in the opinion of Off
Cials would be pretty certain to grant the
trust immunity. From their point of
view. therefore. such an investigation
would be welcomed by the trust.

PLEAD FOR GREAT
INLAND WATERWAY
Speakers Want Land for Ship
Canal Across Jersey.

Trenton. y. J.. March 7.-Disregarding
all preCedents of this State, which pre-
scribe that the executive shall not par
ticipate in the deliberations Of the leg
islature, Gov. Wilson to-day sat with the
joint legislative committee on Federal
relations at a public hearing on the
senate joint resolution looking toward
the appropriation of not more than
SS0O.OO0 for the purchase of a ship canal
route across the State from the Delaware
to the Rartan River.
TIL two principal speakers were Repre-
sentative J. Hampton Moore, of Phila-
delphia. and Representative J. J. Small.
Of North Carolina They outlined the ad-
vantages which would come from the
construction of the proposed inland wa
terways from Maine TO Florida at an
estimated cost OF S1O0,OOO.OOO. The New
Jersey link, it is supposed. would cost
$4,000 600, the idea being that the con-
StruCtiOn should be done by the govern
ment. and that the State should contribute
the land.
Representative Small said that in North
Carolina there was pride in Gov Wilson,
for that State had helped to rear him.
He said that when Gov. Wilson was
elected President North Carolina would
have an additional sense of pride. The
reference to Gov Wilson's Presidential
possibility was enthusiastically cheered.

$4,000 MICHELIN
PRIZE TO RENAUX
Carries Passenger on 26O-
mile Trip in France.

Paris, March 7.-Eugene Renaux, the
aviator, with NJ. Senoque as a passenger
and using a Maurice Farman bIplane,
to-day won the Michelin prize of $40, ,O00
offered for the airman who, with a pas
senger, would fly from the Aero Club 5
park at St. Cloud, near Paris, to Cler-
mont-Ferrand, circle the steeple of the
cathedral there, and alight on top of the
Puy de Dome. The distance is 260 miles.
and the landing point is at a height OF
400 feet.
The landing at the top of the Puy de
Dome was effected without any injury to
the aviator or the passenger or any dam
age to the machine. although the only
practicable spot at the necessary height
is space 100 yards by 20.
RenauX unfortunately rounded the ca
thedral at Clermont-Ferrand to the left
instead OF to the right, as required by
the regulations for the prize and it is
possible that he may LOSE the $40 900
on this technicality.
Eugene Renaux, who is a former auto
mobile racer, pilots a Maurice Farman
biplane fitted with a Renault engine.
NJ. Senoque is an enthusiastic patron of
aviation.
The cup won by Renaux must not be
confused with the MicheIin trophy of
1900 offered yearl! for the longest flight
in closed circuit. RenauX has captured
what is known as the Micheiin Grand
Prix." The prize was first offered three
years ago. and at the time il was said
that it would not be won for twenty
years
