GUN BURIED FIFTY YEARS
AT GETTYSBURG FOUND
Edward w. Clark Will Garry Relic
of Great Battle to West
ern Home.

Fifty years ago on the historic battle
mander of the 18th Corps, made a desper-
ate effort to dislodge the Confederate
forces that has seized some of his in
trenchments on the side Of Culps Hill.
One of the companies, recruited from
near Greencastle, Ind, lost 10 men in
five minutes under the terrible Con-
federate fire.
This company had charged across Rock
creek, which flows near the foot of the
hill One OF the soldiers stopped to fire
from behind a screen of willows in an
endeavor to pick off the Confederate ar
tillerymen. Those who charged with him
went down to their death. He survived.
and today made visit to Washington
before returning to his home in far off
California. The soldier is Edward W..
Clark of Sacramento.
He has brought to Washington a relic
Of Gettysburg that he prizes very
highly, a Misunderstanding gun. recently
found in Rock creek, evidently thrown
there fifty years ago during the battle.
The veteran also has a branch cut from
the willows which still screen Rock
creek, and which Mr.. Clark will carry
children he will again tell the tale of
how the willows saved his life in the
rain of shot and shell.

Mr.. Clark carries map of the battle
field of Gettysburg, which he recently

at the historic field for the reunion of
the blue and the gray. and shortly after
his arrival went directly to the same
point where the friendly willows saved
his life
The musket which he carries is we'll

half a century 1t remained in the soft
mud of the little stream The wooden
parts are almost entirely intact. No pet
rification has begun. though the stock
seems to have become hardened to some
extent. The coating of rust over the gun
is over an eighth of an inch deep in some
places.
OF a type known as the "Harpers Fer
ry,' the musket is of the single barrel
shotgun variety. with ramrod incased
just below the barrel. In places the RAM
rod is SO firmly attached to the barrel of
the gun that it apparently cannot be re-
moved.
Only a short distance from where the
musket was found Mr.. Clark saw a SOL

the exclamation: lon the second day Of
the big fight / saw was to be captured,

Then with spade in hand he began to
dig, and within few minutes had UNI

buried fifty years ago. Unlike to Mr..
Clark's musket Mother Nature had not
been SO kind, and as a result the stock
and other wooden parts were nearly rot

Mr.. Clark is about to take back to his
far western home this relic of the days
of civil strife. He goes back to his folk
with the story that the recent reunion
at Gettysburg was the greatest the world
ever has known and that from what he
saw he IS convinced that in the hearts
of his countrymen who fought with him
and against him on that memorable day
in the country's history, there is. indeed,
no northland. southland, eastland or
westland.

WILMINGTON. n. c., July 1a-Mrs

OPENING QUOTATIONS
SHOW LITTLE CHANGE
Only Wide Movements Are With
Less Active Stocks-Petroleums
Continue Decline.

NEW YORK, July 19.-Quotations OF
the important stocks at the opening to-
day were barely changed from yester-
days close.
Union Pacific and Copper began the
day on level with the previous clos
ing. and Reading and Steel were 4
higher.
The only wide movements were among
a few less active stocks. New Haven
again fuctuated widely, opening points
higher Colorado Fuel rose point.
The Petroleum stocks continued their
decline. California Petroleum fell a point
to 10, a new low record.
Improvement Despite Light Business
A definite change in the aspect of the
stock market occurred this week. follow
ing a period Of almost unparalleled dull
ness. The market developed an fmprov-
ing tendency. leading to spirited upward
movement late in the week. The volume
Of business, while not large. represented
a decided change in the previous period
of stagnation.
The improv emcnt in feeling abroad,
based on easier monetary conditions and
hopes of a speedy end to the Balkan
war, was perhaps the most direct in
fiuence on this market. Europe bought
stocks here and offered short term
money. Depression of European markets
has had an unsettling effect on the home
market during the last year. and a cor
respondingly stimulating influence was
hoped for with a change for the better
abroad.
Trading remained largely in the hands
of professional element, the large short
interest facilitating the advance. The
questions in which Wall st. eet Is greatly
interested, such as tariff and currency
legislation presented no new phases. and
there were few developments of impor-
lance bearing upon market values.
Money rates advanced to the highest
point Of the year, although more money
came In toward the close Of the week,
causing a slightly easier tone.

DECLARES DEMOCRATS
FEARED DISCLOSURES.
Republican Leader Explains
Why House Barred Debate
of Caminetti Case.

Mr.. Kahn is prepared to show things
which the Attorney General does not
want to be made public"
In a satirical statement regarding the
way in which the House shut off the
possibility of a speech on the Caminetti
case yesterday. Representative Mann Of
Illinois. floor leader of the republicans.
says that the democratic party in the
House is desperately afraid of the dis
closures which they believed to. be con-
tanned in the undelivered speech of Rep
resentative Kahn of California. There
is every probability that Mr.. Kahn will
have a chance to deliver his speech be-
fore long He and the minority leader
will watch every parliamentary loop
hole and sooner or later situation will
arise which will allow Mr.. Kahn to gain
the floor and keep 1t.
Mr.. Mann Makes Statement.
SAYS Mr. Mann in his statement:
THE almost unprecedented action Of
the democrats in the House of laying the
Kahn resolution of inquiry in the Can't
netti case on the table shows how des-
perately afraid the democrats are Of hav-
ing the truth known. The movement
was led by Mr.. Byrns of Tennessee, the
state from which the Attorney General
comes, and 1t is understood that Mr..
Byrns is acting at the instigation of the
ATTORNEY General. MIR. Byrns has twice
prevented Mr. Kahn from making his
speech on the question.
That the Attorney General does not
want the truth known is not surprising.
He did not send all the papers to the
judiciary committee. When he sent the
order to California to Mr.. McNab to
postpone the Caminetti case, which re-
suited in McNab's resignation, the At
torney General subsequently explained
that he did this at the request of Secre-
tary Wilson of the Depa: tment of Labor,
and he sent the order without reference
to the files in the case.
What Kahn Expected to Show.
"Mr Kahn was prepared to show that
long before this-a month or more-the
Attorney General had sent a telegram
to Mr. McNab in California directing him
to take no further steps in the Can't
netti case. and that it was sent not from
the Department Of Justice. but from a
hotel in Washington. and undoubtedly
sent at the request of some political in
f1uence.
''Mr. Kahn is prepared to show num-
Der of other things which the Attorney
General does not wish made public, and
hence Mr.. Byrns objected"
