Fifty years ago today the Confed-
crate congress, assembled at Montgom-
cry since April 20, passed an act rec
ognizing the existence of war between
the United States and the Confeder-
acy and authorizing President Davis
to use army and navy and to issue let
ters of fnarque to meet the war.
This act was the first formal an
nouncement of the existence of war
made by either government. Davis, 20
be sure, in his message Of April 29, had
referred to the declaration Of war" i'm
Piled in Lincolns call for troops, and
had urged. measures for the defense OF
the confederacy. but he had not spoken
of the war as an accomplished fact
Lincoln for his part had in his procla-
nation studiously avoided the word
war" and had spoken only OF the ae-
tivities Of the 'insurrectionary COM
binations."
The confederate congress. therefore,
in stating the war to be a fact hao
taken a step of great Importance; they
had put an end for good and all to the
playing at peace.
WHY THE WAR EXISTED.
The initial paragraphs of the act. ex-
planning the cause for its provisions
and setting forth the view held by the
south of the events Of Lincolns ad-
inInistration, were as follows:
The earnest efforts made by this
government TO establish friendly rela-
tlons between the government Of the
United States and the Confederate states
and 10 settle all questions Of disagree
ment between the two governments upon
principles OF right, justice, equity and
good faith have proved unavailing by
reason of the refusal Of the government
Of the United States TO hold any inter-
ct r,raafs onn0lnf-
cd by this government for the purposes
aforesaid or to listen to any proposal
tney had to make for thefpeacetul solu-
ton OF all causes Of difficulties be-
tween the two governments.
THE president of the United States
of America has issued his proclamation
making requisition upon the states OF
the American union for 10000 men Tor
the purpose. as herein Indicated, OF cap
turing forts and other strongholds with
in the jurisdiction of and belonging to
the Confederate states Of America, ana
mas detailed naval ornaments upon the
coasts of the Confederate States or
America and raised, organized ana
equipped a large military force to exc
cute the purpose aforesaid, and has Is
sued his other proclamation announc-
ing his purpose to set on foot block
ade Of the ports Of the Confederate
states.
THE state of Virginia has seeded
from the federal union and entered in
10 a convention Of alliance with the Con-
federate States, and the states of Mary
land. North Carolina, Tennessee, Gen
lucky, Arkansas and Missouri have re-
fused, and it is believed that the state
of Delaware and the inhabitants of the
territories of Arizona and New Mexico
and the Indian territory will refuse to
cooperate, with the government Of the
United States in these acts of hostilitles
and wanton aggression which are plainly
intended to overawe, suppress and finally
subjugate the people OF the Confederate
States.
by the acts and means aforesaid war
exists between the Confederate States
and the government of the United States
and the states and territories thereof"

THE soUTHERNAsp1RIr.

III DOO ~SPIRIT.
All this clearly indicated that the
south was ready to get down to work
on the sea as on land, and to begin ac-
tual fighting whenever opportunity should
offer.
The war spirit was as intense in the
south as In the north Daily companies
were being enlisted, organized into bat
talions and regiments and hurled to the
points where they were needed. the
greatest number to Richmond.
In these companies were men of every
rank and position in life. from the water
front idler or the day laborer to the
fplanter or the lawyer of foremost promi-
hence and wealth. The greatest number
OF these were commissioned officers. elect
ed by the men they commanded as being
the most competent and acceptable, but
many were in the ranks.
I. c. DeLeon tells Of a rich young
Georgian, whom his friends met clad in
the uniform of first sergeant of a Geor-
gia battery.
How is 1t you haven't your commits
sion, Frank?" he was asked. when we
parted at Montgomery it was promised
you"
Pledges are not commissions, though"
he answered. II got tired of waiting
work to be done. so one day I went to
the war department and demanded my
sheepskin or a positive refusal. I got
only more promises, so I told the sec
1 needed no charity from the government
but would present 1t with a company
Then to be as good as my word l sold
some cotton and some stock, equipped
this company and-that's ALL"
but you are not commanding the COM
pany?" they asked him.
Couldn't do Il, you see," he said.
Wouldn't let the boys elect me an of
ficer and have the sec think 1 had
bought my commission! But I'll win IT
before the month is out, and If God
spares me, mother shall call her boy
Colonel Frank before Christmas"
Alexander II. Stephens. vice president
of the Confederacy, might well say as
he did in his speech at Atlanta, April
30:
I'VE have ten millions OF people with
us, heart and hand to defend us to the
death. We can call out million Of
people, IL need be; and when they are
cut down we can call out another and
still another. until the last man of the
south finds a bloody grave. rather than
submit to dictation."

RuLRs ZOE PRIvATEERING.

The principal provision of the act au-
thorized the president to use the whole
land and naval force of the Confederate
states to meet the war thus commenced
and to issue to private armed vessels
commissions or letters of marque and
general reprisal against the vessels,
goods and effects of the government of
the United States and of the citizens or
inhabitants Of the states or territories
thereof"
The remainder of the act was wholly
devoted to regulating the issuance of
the letters of marque and the conduct of
the privateers TO whom they should be
issued.
All captures and prizes of vessels and
property. it was provided, should be for
feited and should accrue to the owners,
officers and crew of the vessels making
the capture, save that per cent of all
prize money and salvage should go to
form fund for the families of those

THAW AIDED PRISONER TO
SECURE LEGAL RELEASE.

MATTEAwAN, N. Y, April 10.-Mrs.
Mary c. Thaw, mother Of Harry K.
Thaw, issued a signed statement, COM
menting on the case of Fred Matheson,
an inmate Of the Mattea wan Asylum,
who was ordered discharged by Jus
tice Goff on February l3, but was kept
in the place until brought before Judge
Morschauser ON Saturday. The state
ment says in part;
1.-THE illegal detention of Mr.. Ma
theson had worried my son more than
any trouble outside his own case. Ma
theson was the only other acquitted
man in the State of New York who,
although sane. vas kept in prison dis
honestly.
Harry thought it was (unintention-
allyl his fault that Matheson was held.
His badly presented case before Judge
Morschauser injured this old workman
as well as himself. Harry personally
tried in every way he could to get
him out, and had beer in communica-
ton with his nephew and niece in
West New York, N. j. Justice for the
old man often seemed in sight, but be-
ing anxious about all that there
should be no setback, which at his
age would mean death in misery. my
son moved with extreme prudence"

r. Hare, the proprietor of the Rubber
Shop, of 6 Branford place, was made
evident today when representatives OF

ON EVE OF TRIAL
FOR SUGAR TRUST
COUP, k|ssEL DIES
Indicted on Charge of Deceiying
Jersey Independent Into
Loss of Refinery.

NEW YORK, April 10.-Gustay i.
Kissel, long prominent as q Wall
Street broker, and for years intimately
identified with important financial in
t~erests, died early today at his home
here after an illness extending over
several weeks.
Gustav E. Kissel Jams into the spot-
light of publicity through the acquisi-
ton by the American Sugar Refining
Company of the Pennsylvania Sugar
Refining Company. OF Philadelphia. Dir.
Kissel, with the president and six di-
rectors of the American Sugar Refin-
ing Company, known as the sugat
Trust. were indicted by the Federal
grand jury in New York on July IL,
1903, on q charge of conspiracy In re-
straint of trade.
Adolph Segal, who g short time pa-
fore had sold a sugar refinery at CAM
den, n. j., to the sugar trust, had just
completed a new S2,000,0 00 refinery at
Philadelphia and announced that he
would fight the American Compans.
Segal. who had become involved In
real estate transactions. was in nesi
of money n had applied to various
banks for assistance, offering as COLI
lateral stock in the refinery.
Say Trust Employed kissel.
The government alleged that the
sugar trust employed Kissel as a brok-
er to offer financial relief to Segal. Acr
cording to the indictment Kissell Of
fered to lend Segal So, 250.0 600 on the se-
curity of 26,00o shares Of the $1,000
shares of his new refinery. Segal ac-
cepted the loan. The government al
legged that Kissel deceived Segal as to
the source of the money"
soon after the loan was made Kissel,
according to the indictment, turned
over the majority stock, which on
stituted a voting trust, to the Ameri-
a Sugar Refining Company, a new
board of directors was put in and it
was voted not to operate the segal re-
finery.
The result was that Segais income
was cut off, he could not meet the In
terest on his loan and a crash came.
Efforts were made to quash the in
dictments, but last December the Su-
preme Court Of the United States held
that the indictments were valid and
District Attorney Wise said he would
proceed to trial at the earliest possible
time.

"ARIZ0NA BILL" CLAUSE
MAY AID PRES. TAFT.
Relieves Him of Responsibility
of Signing Measure.

WASHINGTON. April 10.-Presldent
Taft may be relieved of the RESPONSE
bility of approving or disappearing the
Arizona constitution, according to a re-
port at the White House today. An
effort Is to be made, 1t vas said, to
amend the enabling act so that Con-
gress alone shall pass upon the con-
s~titution.
Mr.. Flood brought the proposed
amendment to the attention of the
President today, and Mr.. Taft assured
him that II met with his approval. That
part of the amendment of Mr.. Flood
which relieves the President reads as
follows:
"And that portion of section % of said
act which requires the affirmative APP
prevail of said constitution by the Presi-
dent is hereby repealed"
The President has felt some delicacy
In dealing with the Arizona constitu-
ton. He is understood not to favor the
recall of judges, provided for in that
instrument, but he believes that Con-
gress might better pass upon 1t and
permit 1t to be tried out in practise.
