Report In Circulation That DiscIos-
ures Made Before Senate Lobby
Probe Committee Were Intended to
Forestali Carefully Planned At
tack on Union Pacific Stock By
Group of Brokers.
New York, June 30.-There have
been persistent reports in Wall street
that the disclosures made before the
lobby committee at Washington by
Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the
Union Pacific railroad board, were
intended to forestall a carefully
planned bear attack which a group
of Wall street operators intended 70
launch against Union Pacific.
According to this story these spec.
ulators had advanced information of
a statement to be filed by a promi-
nent statistician with the interstate
commerce commission, which was in
tended to prove that the large sur
plus which the company's annual re-
port showed is really a deficit.
David Lamar, who has been the
leader In many Wall street specu-
lative raids, is said to have won the
confidence of a United States SEN
ator in May, 1910, and primed him to
make a speech In the senate which
might have sent Steel stocks tum-
bling, thus enabling the shorts" to
pick up millions of dollars in steel
and other securities.
The speech which the senator got
up with such elaborate care, on data
partly furnished, he said, by Lamar,
was ostensibly on the railroad rate
bill, but interviewer with the railroad
statements given by the stock plum
ger were others involving detri-
mentally the United States Steel cor
poration.
When the senator found out who
Lamar was he threw his speech into
waste basket.

Blue and Gray Join LustiIy In
Cheering Arrival of the Gallant
Old Soldier.
Gettysburg, Pa, July 1.-Whils
thousands of veterans of both sides
are here and other thousands are on
their way to participate in the great
anniversary encampment eommemo
rating the battle of Gettysburg there
are gathering upon a quiet little
street of the town seven gray haired
women who, fifty years ago, acted as
volunteer nurses for Union and Con
iederate veterans alike.
Perhaps to no one of the seven are
the recollections of that time more
vivid than they are to Mrs. Salome
NJ. Stewart, a native of Gettysburg
who, except for an interval of a few
years, has lived in the same house
that was used as an emergency hos
pital during the famous battle.
At Mrs. Stewards home has been
established the headquarters for the
surviving nurses of the war between
the states. One arrival was Mrs
rlarissa F. Dye of Philadelphia, who
was among the first to respond when
the news of Gettysburg filtered in
over the wires. The other aged nurses
to participate in the anniversary are
Mrs. Cornelia Hancock, Philadelphia
Mrs. Margaret Hamilton, Wakefield
Mass; Mrs. Mary Stevens, Peabody
Mass; Miss Annie Irving, Newburgh
N. Y; and Miss Helen Cole, Sheboy.

Slck'es Pitches His Tent.
Among the notable arrivals at the
veterans camp was General Daniel
f. Sickles, who declined hotel quar-
ters in favor of tent pitched upon
the site where he lost his leg during
the battle, General Sickles was es
corted by a cavalry detail and was
cheered Justify by both the wearers
of the blue and gray.
A picturesque parsonage who at
tracted much attention was General
Felix II. Robertson of Texas, who
came to town clad in the full uniform
OF a Confederate general. General
Robertson, who is proud of the fact
that he was at Fort Sumter when the
first gun was fired, also declined to
accept the hospitality of the Pennsyl-
vania commission, which had provid-
ed a comfortable room for him, saying
he preferred to share camp life with
his men. This attitude was also as
sumed by General A. ]. West of At
1anta, Ga.
Among those registered at the head
quarters of commission on campus of
Pennsylvania college are Governor
Clarke of Iowa, General Tilletson and
Colonel Heanan w. Allen of Vermont,
Judge e. M. Gibson, Oakland, Cal.;
u. l.. Hawk of Sacramento, CAL; F.
w. Castle, New Orleans; J. w. Patter.
son, New Hampshire. United States
Senator Penrose has arrived from
Philadelphia. Colonel Charles H.
Mcconnell of Chicago brought a
tent which will serve as headquarters
for the Iron brigade, and Pettigrew's
North Carolina brigade. These bri-
days battle and their reunions are ex-
pected to be particularly interesting
for this reason.

PHILADELPHIA, July 15.-The Wal
nut Street theater, Americas oldest
playhouse. will not reopen next sea-
son. 1T will remain dark for the first
dramatic season since it was built, in
1908. Failure of the mana cement to
comply with rules of the building bu-
reau, to insure safety is the cause of
closing the old house.
Virtually all of the great actors of
the period of Edwin Booth appeared at
Philadelphia leading playhouse. Prior
to the erection of the Acadamy of Mu-
sic grand opera was given at the Wal
nut. which was then in the heart of
the fashionable section.
The theater is still part of the ].
Sleeper Clark estate. Clark was him
self comedian, and appeared fire.
duently in the theater. He was an un-
Gle OF Edwin Booth. The 1atter's
father. Junius Brutus Booth. and his
brother, John Wilkes Booth. frequently
appeared at the walnut. His son,
Creston Clark, achieved fame on the
American stage, and his inspiring per-
formance of Hamlet" on the stage of
the Walnut is remembered by many
lovers of genuine histrionic art. Mr..
CIark's second son, Wilfred Clark. is
still favorite with devotees of vaude-
Vile.
The fashionable section of Philadel-
phia gradually shifted and new play
houses Sprang up after the civil war
but the Walnut remained a home OF
high class legitimate performance un-
til the end of last season. 1t has been
leased by several of the most impor
tant producing managers of the coun-
try. Until his death on the Titanic.
Henry B. Harris sent productions there.
His son in law, Frank Howe. was man
ager of the house for many years
The Walnut was always rated as an
independent theater; 1t never came un-
der the direct control of syndicate in
terests in this city.

he was on very friendly terms with the

the room. The bed still unmade. was
covered with bloody hand prints and
the clothes OF the Japanese were very
much disheveled.

person. dated April II, read:
Want to hear from you badly. Am
sorry. Call up Douglas 42S3.
