TECUMSEH BY PROXY
By VIM. LIeHTFoor vIsscHER.

Tom Lansing and Lucille Bell were strollng around the equestrian statue of grand old "Tecumseh" Sherman, in the moonlight of May. Near them lowered the granite facade of the treasury, wonder twinkled the lights of the White House.
 "Sit there," he said. For with his handkerchief he had switched away the dust from block of stone where stood in real bronze, one of the sol diers that, at quadrangle corners, guard the Leader to the Sea-"
 As he seated himself beside her he said:
 When Sherman was leading his le- zion through Georgia handsome young captain of a cavalry regiment had a remarkable episode. A cavalry brigade had captured the town of Ros- well, on the Chattahoochee, at the ex- treme left of the army, and Roswell was simply town of cotton and wool en factories. The exigencies of war demanded the burning of the factories and they were committed to the flames, but what disposition to make of the thousand or more pretty girls of the confederate looms became a serious question. Gallant old Tecum- sch was equal to the occasion, how ever. He ordered regiment of bold sabreurs to the front and directed that each trooper and officer should take pretty maid upon an impro- vised billion, behind him on his steed.
 "Tho girl that rode with her arms about the waist of the handsome young captain was the prettiest one of the thousand, and they were near ly all remarkably pretty southern girls who were periodically working to clothe the soldiers of the south Moreover, she was of good family

-'c AGO oAtl sH~s

Ironton, O., June 10.-Berkeley Flemming, 20 years old, a farmer, confessed to local authorities here he murdered his mother, Mrs Emma Flemming, 45 years old, Saturday, and his brother Culbertson, 25, July IA, 1910, at Coryyille, one mile north of Ironton.
 Following the confession Flemming was taken to his home in an automo- bile. Near the house he pointed out the spot where he said he had buried his mother. The police found her body under Is inches of dirt. The back part of her head had been blown away with a gun.
 Flemming then took the officers to another spot on the farm and showed where he had buried his brother. A few feet under the ground, -a-skeleton was found
 The investigation which resulted in the confession was begun yesterday, when Mrs. Flemming was missed by Miss Bessie Stewart, her sister, who resides at the Flemming home. Young Flemming could not be found about the farm. and search showed that S2OO had been taken from a trunk which belonged to his grandfather.
 He was found in lronton and arrest ed. At first he denied knowing any thing of his mothers whereabouts. but later admitted the killing. Fear that his mother knew of the murder Of his brother three years ago is giver as the motive for the crime.

 'Of course. Don't you know I was born in Marietta?" questioned Lucie Bell.
 Yes, 1 know" returned Tom Lan- sing. But this was many years be- fore you were born"
 "A young woman who stood at the gate to the beautiful grounds I told you of, watching with amused face the passing regiment of double riders. when she saw the young captain and his charge, rushed screaming between fright and joy, toward thsm, and then something happened. The captains horse plunged and reared, and the young officer adroitly lifted the maid en to the ground and to the arms of her cousin, the young woman who had come from the gate. But other of the horses taking, contagiously, the fright, plunged against him, and rider and horse fell among rough-shod hoofs.
 Quickly the spot was cleared, but the young captain was taken up, un- conscious, and by direction of the two girls was borne to the grand house among the trees and roses.
 The young captain happened to be known ana loved by General sherman, who sent his own staff surgeon to at tend the injured officer.
 There were days of anxiety for those about the young captain. He was long unconscious and then fol lowed fever. The left arm, with which he had so gallantly saved the girl from among the trampling horses, was broken and cut, but youth and a good constitution triumphed at last, and shortly after Sherman had start ed on his march to the sea, Capt. Tom Lansing and Lucie Gill. his bride, the girl he had brought from Ros- well behind him, and who had nursed him through his fight with death, had arrived at Lansing's home, in au. tumn. on the shady banks of the river Des Plaines."
 Tom Lansing!" Lucie almost screamed. "Why that's your name! And Lucie Gill-that's my name Lucie Gill Bell. My father had a cousin named Lucie Gill whom he loved so much that he named me for her, but he died when I was baby and of course never told me of her history"
 She was my another. I am the only son and youngest of five chil- dren."

PEOPLES APPEAL SELFISH
President Wilson Tells Callers "In- quiry Will Be Benefic aI-No Comment Necessary on
 Townsend"

Washington, June 10.-Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, one of the five members of the Investigating committee, took the stand yesterday afternoon in the lobby inquiry and told how the sugar planters evidently were trying to retain a duty on suagr through the celebrated Missouri mule.
 Senator Reed declared he was cer- tain a new system of attempting to influence legislation has arisen in this country, and then he illustrated by telling the committee about telegrams from horse and mule dealers in St. Louis, saying: Please vote for a duty on sugar; it is very necessary to preserve the mule industry of Mis- souri,
 Tt is plain to me that sugar plant CTS were seeking to influence the men from whom they bought mules," said Reed.
 Peoples Appeal But Selfish
 Judging from these circumstances. and others, I believe a system is growing up by which attempts are made to reach representatives or sen- ators by indirect methods. It begins through business connections and finally they find someone in the dis triCt of a epresentative, and, through him, make an appeal to local citizens and have them send telegrams ap- pealing in behalf of the people of the As ,f i+ ;., appeal from the people. but a selfish appeal, 1 don't think this has been confined 10 tariff legislation, I think a strong effort is being made here to affect the passage of the tariff bill or effect a modification of it. How strong it is, l do not know"
 Senator Reed said he had no per. sonal connections affected by the tar if and had talked reduction to all his brother senators whenever possible. He did not know any lobbyists, at least in a way to associate names and faces, had not been subject to any at tempts at influence, and knew nOth- ing of any use of money improperly
 President Sees Benefit.
 President Wilson told callers yes terday he expected the lobby investi- gation to have beneficial results through the publicity given to the con ditions surrounding the making of the tariff bill. When asked his opinion Of the charges made by Senator Town send as to his own influence with reference to legislation, the president replied it needed no comment.
 Senator Sutherland testified before the committee that he owned 200 shares in the Utah-Idaho Sugar com pany, worth $7S5 a share, and 50 shares in the Amalgamated Sugar company, worth S100 a share. He had no interest Tn wool, but declared he had voted and would vote for a reasonable duty Oh sugar and wool Any other course on his part he said would be nothing more than "hypo- critical affectation."
 Tn a long service in the house and senate" he added, "I have not known any member of either body to be i'm properly influenced by any legislation nor have l known of any attempt or the part of anyone>to exert improper inf1uence"
