SOUND PROTEST AGAINST
MEETING AT GETTYSBURG

That there Is ono faction Of the
United Confederate Veterans which
bitterly opposes the mingling Of
Southern veterans with the Grand
Army of the Republic. in the semi-cen-
tennial celebration of the Battle of
Gettysburg on July Ia. first became
known last night in Lee Camp In the
course Of debate on the proposed
peace celebration here in 1915. when
warm words were exchanged between
General j. Thompson Brown. st. George
T. G. Bryan and DR.. Landon r. Mason.
The argument was precipitated by
sentiments expressed by Mr.. Bryan in
discussing the propriety of inviting the
Grand Army of tho Republic to join
In the peace celebration. -
ITO my mind" said Mr.. Bryan. with
heat, ut is impossible for any veteran
OF tho Confederate army to accept the
hospitality OF the Grand Army posts
in any shape or form. I know many
OF my comrades are going to Gettys-
burg In July; they may be right but
differ from them. The mcn/of the
North do not understand the motives
which actuated us In 1861; they have
been deceived in our regard, and, there
fore, we cannot meet them yet on fair
and equitable footing. I do not SEQ

not the intention OF our association in
adopting these resolutions to take any
action that would be offensive to the
Confederate Veterans. The idea was
to have some big event or celebra ton
here In 1915, ut the dedication OF tho
Battle Abbey and to commemorate the
nftieth anniversary Of the close Of the
war. Tho use of the term peace tubi-
lee may have been inappropriate. but
that was not the full and final name
of the celebration.
Tho Idea of our association was to
call meeting OF representatives from
various and sundry organizations and
decide whether such a celebration was
cxpedient. and for those united organ
izations to take charge of the move
ment, and they could adopt such name
and character of celebration as In their
Judgment was best suited At the
meeting last night committee was an

night df your rules would allow us)
to explain what was Conc and ask that
action be deferred until another meet
ing can be held and more definite
plan BIO adopted. This committee will
also ask that your camp appoint com
mittec OF three to be present at the
next meeting, to BIO held May 10 at tho
Jefferson Hotel. to hear from the vari-
Gus organizations that were rcprese nted
last night as to whether or not 1t is
desirable to hold some big celebration
In Richmond in 1916 and Of what kind
or character.
1t was certainly not our intention or
desire to offend In any way the Confed-
crate veterans. and I trust that the
committee will BIO able to make II r,lnin
to the camp tonight.

Fancy heads of hatpins are sup posed to match the tone of the hat with which they are worn. This hard and fast rule is not difficult to obey since pins of every tint are easily to be found. For the black chapeau there Is the large or small headed pin of ebony or jet in round, cube or spear shape decorated with carving or inlay or set with jewels. Ivory pearl, celluloid. crystal. white coral ' rhinestone headed pins are for the ultra fashionable white plush hat And if one is wearing a white silk beaver trimmed with a colored plume then the tint of the trimming must oe matched in the setting of the white hatpin.
 Amethyst pins are in tones matching the orchid shades used for millinery Turquoise and sapphir 1s, garnets and rubiess emeralds and jades go with the blue. red or greer hats of conventional one. And for the exceptional tints exploited by some milliners, there are tapis lapuH. am Der. tortise-S shell, cats eye and ac- quamarine hatpin heads.

Both sih1 and tables should be placed nigh enough to enable you to work there without stepping, and as if is best to have H9 space between them, it is aa excellent plan ts have the tables built iR the house. Plumbers usually install sinks with the tops thirty inches from the floor. but a height of thirtV-tWo or thirty-four inches will be less likely to cause backache when working before the sink
 The stove should be near the sink. This is very important, because i'll every kitchen there is continual filling of kettles and pans and drain ing of water, and if there is one thing that tires a woman more than anything else it is the lifting and carrying of heavy articles.

DOMESTIC CANAL COMMERCE.

While the senate committee has de- cided that it will not consider the Pan anna canal legislation further until the December session of congress it is apparent that that question is one which ought to receive early attention for the purpose of settlement. Not only are the advocates of repeating the exemption clause active but oth- CTS are alert to the wisdom of getting the situation adjusted and the. oppo- sition removed. The latest sugSes tion connected with new legislation is that the exemption clause be modi- fled so that it will include in the ex- emption shipping from coast to coast. or domestic commerce affecting this country Canada Mexico and Central America.
 When it is realized that Great Britain started it's protest following the solicitation of Canada because of the injury which the toll charge was expected to cause to it's business it is apparent that such a provision would overcome any such obstacle and when it comes to foreign trade all will be on the same basis as only the coast wise traffic of this country is to be exempted. The suggestion is one to which much thought will doubtless be given. Such a course means con eession to these countries which have not participated in the cost of con- struction of the canal but it is evident that it will be but slight if the coun- try desires to hold fast to it's desire to pass it's own commerce free, and overcome a substantial treaty obJec- ton from abroad, if indeed Great Bri- tain will be satisfied.

There is not the same attitude in the senate to the tarim bill as has char acterized it's history in the house. It is due to the fact that it has a larger number of opponents, in both parties, than among the lower body and de- termination exists that the merits Of the respective cuts shall be determined and that the manufacturing interests $ throughout the country which are de plOring the passag ge of the bill as con stituted because of the effect 1t will have upon their business and their employees shall be given hearing The fact that there is an opposition 10 several of the schedules by dem ocraJs adds interest to the contest in the senate and the fact that the sen ate is more nearly equally divided as sures a far different consideration to the bill than that already received

GUARD AGAINST MONOPOLY.

When the house last week took ac- ton favorable to the extension of the same charter rights to the gas and electrical department of this city as were held by the predecessors of the department, the private corporation, it was only what the situation demanded as a Trotection to the municipal plant and the city's territory for doing bus mess. The opposition came from the same motive which is at work through out the state for the gathering in of all the power and light privileges for a monopol;stic control. The safeguard ing of the local situation is only what should be carried on throughout the state in the granting and sanctioning of franchises which are calculated to put the cities and towns of the state in the grasp of a mighty corporation. The Norwich petition was far differ ent from that which characterizes the endeavor to have the franchises and privileges of other concerns amended. Locally it was simply strengthening out in the deal terms which might be misConstTued while the amendment of franchises such as other concerns are seeking would permit the merging with any other corporation and admits of all kinds of possibilities of control and watering from which there is the greatest need of protection. The de- nands for electricity are constantly increasing and the control of the electric light and power privileges in Connecticut would be a fine proposition for the owners, or the merger operators if the legislature could be brought to give their word of approval

For the woman who loves cup of tea in the afternoon and who also likes 8 small cooky or cheese cracker or some such tid-bit to nibble while slipping her tea, there is a new sug- ges,ion in the way of serving waters and cakes.
 Often even a sandwich plate will be too small to hold as many crackers srienas lrop n for 8 cup of tea and Rcasta. and fer this a Aower basket, '.le et.-!a that is eat with a tall han Gie, seAa-aliy used for the garden when picking flowers, is just the thing, for it holds a most surprising g nGmt CT of cakes, and in this way one eau easily pass a large number of tid-bits at one time without the least inconvenience, and for crackers, dec orated with jelly and cheese and such edibles as cannot be laid on top of each other, this fiat basket Is unsur- passed.
