Veteran Of the House, Who Once
Saved a Bill From StranguIa-
ton, Gets His Reward.

Representative Ed Wohlwender, OF
Muscogee, who Is not an Irishman, as
some people may suspect, will be the
chairman of the big and important
General judiciary Committee of the
new House Of Representatives
Mr.. Wohlwender is one of the vet
eran members of the House, and is
the only man known to legislative
fame who ever made a Committee on
Rules perform as he wanted it to. de-
spite its evident inclination to perform
otherwise.
Last year Mr.. Wohlwender had a
bill about something or other that
was about to get lost in the legis-
lative shuttle, largely through a proc
ess Of asphyxiation in the Rules Com
mittee.
One day-a dark, dismal and dreary
day for the Rules Committee and the
naughty highbrows composing the
same-Wohlwender got up and mott
fed the Rules Committee that it
would bring out his bill or he would
make 1t wish it never had been born!
The Rules Committee was hardened
to that line Of talk. however, so 1t bid
Wohlwender go chase himself and
see how ne liked il.
But WohlWender wouldn't chase
himself-he chased the Rules Com
mittee instead!
For days upon days he "cussed" and
abused that Rules Committee. right
out loud on the floor Of the House, Cor
everything he could think of-and
when he ran out of thinks, he got a
choice few of his colleagues to help
him along.
Finally, the Rules Committee de-
cided that 1t would have to get rid of
Wohlwender, OF tack to the woods. so
It brought his old bill out and permit
ted it to go to vote.
From that day to this Wohlwender
has been hero.
He is TO be rewarded by being
placed at the head of the big Judicia-
~ Committee this year-in order, no
doubt, to keep him so busy that he
will forget all about pestiferous Rules
Committees and things!

HEAT FORCES
VETERANS
RETREAT
Hundreds Leave Gettysburg Field
for Home-Doctors Prepare
for Emergency Work,

GETTYSBURG, July Intense
heat caused great discomfort among
the thousands of veterans assembled
here to-day. Cooler weather had been
forecasted. but the prophecy failed of
fulillment and there was not enough
breeze to stir any of the hundreds of
flags that dropped listless over the
battlefield.
The anniversary of the second day
Of the battle found hundreds gone
home. They had left their comrades
because nights under canvas and
days under a broiling hot sun were
threatening to undermine health and
cut short the few years remaining.
The places of those who left We're
taken to-day by several train loads
who arrived late last night and a del
egation of Confederate veterans who
arrived here from Houston, Texas, on
their own train to-day.
Plan Relief Measures.
Preparations were made to sur
round the big meeting tent with ply
sicians and nurses for emergency
action in the ceremonies scheduled to
begin at o'clock this afternoon and
continue through the hottest hours of
the day The addresses by Major
John r. Brooke, of Pennsylvania, and
Sergeant John c. Scarborough, of
North Carolina, promised to attract
as many veterans as could crowd
under the auditorium tent
General John c. Black will deliver
the closing address of the day and
Barry Buckley will read Lincoln's
Gettysburg address.
A reunion of survivors will be held
this afternoon on Little Round Top,
the scene of the hottest fighting on
the second day of the battle. The
members of General G. K Warren
Post, G. A. R., of Brooklyn, will meet
the Confederates who lived through
the terrible charges up the face of
the hill.
Will Find Stone Walls.
They will find the old stone wall

soldiers as a shelter from the grill

where the Confederates made their
greatest inroads on the Union lines
and where a little knot of yelling
fearless Southerners broke complete

within so feet of the top of the hill.

the fields to-day to Bloody Angle,

it on his calendar when Green turned
loose.
Damn you, I'll get you" he shout
ed.
With features coINroted with rage
until he looked like a wild man, ne
began to shoot. So excited was he
that the first shot went into the
ceiling. The second made a hole in
the wall back of Mattox, and the third
went through a law book on the
table under which Mattox. by this
time, was hiding. Deputy Woodward
and others grabbed Green and pre-
vented his firing other snots. They
hurried him to Jail.
Judge Whitaker hid behind the
iron door Of his safe, Attorney Bailey

The real charge against William

they are trying TO impeach. is not
that he used campaign funos TO
speculate which as a matter Of fact
Is no Offense. but that he proved
iaise to Tammany. And the man
who has proven false to that in
stitutiOn has never yet failed OF
punishment. We may not admire
rammany. its character. its meth

admire the man who deliberately
plays traitor to those who have ele.
waited him " a high position. The
man who will prove false to a
friend. NO matter how low that
friend may be. II not the man to
be trusted either with personal af-
fairs or the affairs OF the public.
