REPORT TO VETS
CUES FOR PAST YEAR HAVE
BEEN WELL PAID UP AND
OUTLOOK GOOD.
Gives Detailed Account of Standing
of Camps by Divisions and Other
Information.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 90
Natural and unavoidable cond.-
ton" have, during the last year. de-
pleted TO dh Unusual degree the
ranks of the United Confederate Vet
.rans, causing proportionate de-
crease in revenue, according to the
annual report of Major General Will
liam E. Mickle. Of New Orleans, ad-
jutant general and chief of staff.
submitted at the organizations an
nual reunion here today.
The report was in part as follows:
IL have not been inclined in my
annual reports for several years past
to take q very cheering view of tho
future of this association. have pre-
dictcd, year and year, a speedy de-
cline in the income, based on nat
ural and unavoidable conditions. In
1912, | regret to say, most decided
falling off in receipts from both Of
ticers (Which | do not understan u
and camps, must be noted. The
amount realized from these two
sources in 1911 was $5,627, and for
1913, $4,93O.
1t is source of pleasure that |
am able to say that at no period in
tho history of the association has
such large percentage of camps
paid their dues as in 1913. The
amounts, OF course, are smaller, but
tho number paying is far in excess OF
any preceding year.
II cannot think that those holding
commissions do not realize the bur-
den OF responsibility resting on their
shoulders. For some cause, however.
their responses for the past year have
not been So ready nor so numerous az
formerly. Holding all the honors the
association can bestow they should
manifest their affection and patriot
ism in way mure beneficial to tho
organization.
lam pleased to say that there Ia
yet a few old Confederates not IN
the U. c. ", who desire to become
connected with this glorious fedora
tion, and during the past year there
have been eleven charters issued to
new camps.
For the reasons stated In the past
and which Will ever prevail, forty
camps have forfeited charters.
The following table will show the
pI esent condition.:

MILTON CROWD TAKES A
NEGRO FROM PULLMAN,

Pensacola, May 29.-Taken from
tie negro toilet room by a crowd
numbering about seyenty-five, who
met the train at Milton, and saved
llom rough treatment, if nothing
worse, through the prompt action OF
sheriff Haryell, of Santa Rosa coun-
u, was the experience Of we'll
dressed negro who, disliking to oc-
cupy day coach with his own race,
purchased a Pullman ticket at Jack
scnville for New Orleans Tuesday
morning and started for ride over
the p & A. division. He is now in
Jail at Milton, where he was placed
for safe keeping and possibly spent
az uncomfortable night.
Passengers reaching the city told
OF the occurrence. The negro en-
'oyed his ride in the Pullman, it
seems, until after he had passed Tai
"hassee. Then word got out that
he was aboard and at each succeed
ipg station larger crowds would meet
the train. This at first excited the
curiosity Of the negro, but before the
tyai nreached Chipley he decided that
more comfortable seats could be
found in the colored coach. The de-
sire to mingle with those of his own
race possibly was brought about by
some one whispering something to
him, for when crowd at Chipley
entered the Pullman the negro could
rot be found.
Another crowd had gathered at De-
Funiak, but it, too, was disappointed.
Milton and Bagdad learned of the
occurrence and the proposed to find
the negro, So when the train reached
there they instituted a search. The
negro was found in the toilet, but the
conductor and nagman refused to al
low the crowd, which numbered
about seventy-five, to enter. Before
the train could leave the station,
some one on the outside began rails
ing the window Of the toilet, and the
negro taking fright. opened the door
and dashed out.
He was seized, but Sheriff Har-
veil, who had suspicioned something
was going wrong, was In the crowd
and he Immediately took the fright
oDed negro into custody and kept the
crowd off. The man was placed in
the county Jail for safe keeping

Dan Mcdonald, foreman of the 1 Orr Stage Company's stations on the
 Fairbanks trail, recently arrived at the interior city, after a trip of in-

 Millers, Paxson's, Sourdough, Cop
 per Center and Chitina.
 MT. Mcdonald reports that all of
 the we'll known old time roadhouses
 along the trail are still open and doing business, although there has
 been a change of ownership in some cases. The Nine-Mile house is the first out of Fairbanks, the next stop ping place being Bylers' old stand at the 1S-mile post, now being run by William Bergman. The 30Mile house is being conducted by John Mogan, and Mrs. Munson is still conducting the roadhouse and trad

The structure is known as the Tower building, but this has become a misnomer. When it was erected in 1889 at No. 50 Broadway it was the marvel of the city, being II stories in height. To- day within a stones throw of the old structure there are buildings from three to four times as high. The Tower building is owned by the Standard Oil Company.

The term of court held at Valdez by Judge Brown continued up until today, when a special term, pre- sided over by Judge Jennings, com menced. It is expected that this will not continue much longer than two weeks and that Judge Jennings will leave Valdez for Juneau about December on the Northwestern. The Sunday Valdez Miner has the following with reference to court proceedings of last week:
 The time of the distr.ct court during the past week was princi- pally occupied with civil matters, the case of greatest importance being the case of Pedrin vs. Beatson Copper Company, which was tried on the 10th and 11th before jury and decided in favor of the plaintiff for S4,000.
 The case of Maurice D. Leehy vs. John E. Ballaine was set for trial during the November term of court. If possible, it will come up on December 18th.
 The case of the United States vs. Joseph Diggs, ct al., is a civil suit to recover on a bond for shortage in the Cordova postoffice. The case will be heard at the next Cordova term of court. The criminal case against Joseph Diggs was tried last fall at Cordova and resulted in a verdict of acquittal.
 The re-trial in the case of Robert Gottschalk vs. George Reinke, ct al., to recover the value of one diamond ring, has been set for the November term, being the first jury trial after the coming of Judge Jennings.
 In the case of Chris Tjosevig vs. W. Malvern, a labor lien on the Chisana grop, the judge has taken the matter under advisement.
