pari of the work fell upon Col. BeitIer. 8 well and so cautiously did he car ry out the work that he endeared him. self to all. On Wednesday evening. July ?. the Gettysburg commission, all the state commissions and the invited guests gathered and presented Col. Beit1er with a magnificent silver low ing cup, bound volume of letters signed by members of the various commission and guests of the state in expressing appreciation of his ser vices.
 ..Co1. Beitler was also presented with Gettysburg commission badge of solid gold.
 .It would be impossible to describe the scenes each day. The veterans covered the field in groups, generally assembling at the spots where they fought and at points all over the field could be seen groups of men in Blue and in Gray mingling together and comparing notes as to their expert- enccs of fifty years ago. For many it was their first visit to the bat tlefeld since the war.
 'sThe Confederate soldiers entered fully into the spirit of the occasion and [ have yet to learn that there sgeas the slightest ripple of discord be- tween the men in Blue and the men in Gray The. Confederates both as Individuals and their speakers, ac- CSPLSQ lll0- S1LQdt1OA anu were dei proud to be on the field as we were.

TRAMPLlNG ON U.S.FLAG SUBJECT
 OF COMPLAINTS

Washington, July 5.-Two incidents, involving desecrations of national flags which marked the celebrations, yesterday. are expected to form the subject of complaints to the state de- partment, though so far nothing has been heard from them. The affair at Winnepeg, Man, involving the tramp ling of an American flag at British parade, probably cannot be made the basis of an official protest for the req son that international law does not guarantee the protection of flags of a foreign country except where they are displayed over official buildings
 In the incident at Tucson, Ariz., however. where the flag over the Mexican consulate was torn down, the state department probably will feel obliged to request the local au- thorities to make 9 proper apology and amends to the Mexican consul, if that can. be done without involving any official recognition of the Huerta government which appears to be the great apprehension of the state de- pertinent at this juncture.

JUDGE FREEMAN DIES SUDDENLY OF
 HEART DISEASE

Hartford, July 5.-Word was re- ceived in this city this morning of the sudden death in Baltimore. Friday night Of Judge Harrison B. Freeman, for more than 40 years one of the leading men of Hartford. Heart dis ease was the cause. Judge Freeman had gone to Baltimore to spend the Fourth with his daughter. Mrs Henry c. Matthews, and died at her summer home near that city.
 JudgeS Freeman was born in Hart ford, September 5, 1888. He was a graduate of Yale, class of 1862, and was among its most loyal alumni. For many years he had been a familiar figure at the football games in New Haven and at Princeton and Harvard. He studied at the Harvard law school and was admitted to the Hartford county bar in 1864. From 1871 to 1874 he was judge of the Hartford police court. In 1887 he was elected judge of probate for the Hartford dis trict and continued in that office until he resigned in 1908 by reason of reaching the age limit of 70 years. He was admittedly an authority on matters pertaining to probate law. He was a Republican in general politics though in the latter years of his life inclined to be an independent. He was a member of the Center Church; of the D. K. E. Yale; a veteran of the Hartford city guard, member of the Hartford club and of the Varuna Boat Club of Yale. The body of Judge Freeman will be brought to Hartford tonight and the funeral will be held some time Monday.
 Judge Freeman is survived by his wife whom he married in 1869, two daughters and a. son, the latter, H. B. Freeman, Jr., being well known Hartford lawyer who was associated with his father in practice.

JAMES FILTER
 KILLED BY TRAIN GARRY TING WILL SON
Well Known Gardener Meets Tragic Death at Railroad Station at Mid night.

Identification of the victim of a train bearing President Wilson to the White Mountains was completed this morning by a blood-stained bottle of medicine which was picked up by an expressman near the spot where the remains were picked up. The pres cription was traced to St. Vincent's hospital where it was found that it had been given to James F'elter, for eight years a gardener at that insti- tuition.
 He left yesterday morning to visit New York and when last seen had q gold watch and twenty dollars, besides the bottle on his person. When found there was but ? cents in the torn and shredded garments of Felter. Identi- fication of the body was completed by fragments of clothing identified by employees at the institution.
 It is not known how Felter came upon the tracks, but he was struck at the local railroad station by the train leaving New York at 11:10, reaching Bridgeport shortly after midnight Apparently the engine and wheels of the entire train passed over his body as he was taken from beneath the car ahead of that in which the President and his party slept. The Presidential partly was unaware of the fatality.
 Besides having spent eight years in faithful service to the local inst1tu- kept in beautiful condition, Felter was known widely as an excellent gardener having attended to many lawns and flower beds of private families throughout this city. His services as well as his personality will be great ly missed by a host of persons to whom he was favorab1y known.

 'tI was i'll most of the time I was at Gettysburg so concluded to return home rather than go to a hospital at Gettysburg. The Connecticut party did not arrive at the cam puntil II 80 Monday night and when we got there we had some difficulty locating our tents. Then we found we had no cots or blankets. I got a cot and blanket for the tent I was assigned to and went in search of a water bucket. When returned I found a party of Virginians had taken possession of my tent, cot, blanket and all.
 "tI complained at headquarters and was given a cot and good quarters in a tent close by headquarters. It was then. nearly o'clock and the drum corps woke me up at 6 o'clock when they began to parade The food was good and we'll cooked but as each man only had one plate we had to take it all from soup to dessert in the same dish.
