SCRAP BOOK FOR TO-DAY

No battle since Waterloo has been fraugl1t with such tremendous conse- Quences as the terrible struggle be- tween the Union and the Confederacy which began at Gettysburg half a century ago today. Veterans who that titanic conflict are assembled on the Pennsylvania battlefield today for the first great reunion of the survivors of the civil war from North, South, West and East.
 The most important battle of the war, on the outcome of which hung the fate of a nation. was fought out in the hills around the little town in southeastern Pennsylvania which gave it's name to the conflict General Lee was about to cross the 9T1sQJehanna at Harrisburg and march on Philadelphia when the army of the Potomac greatly augmented in numbers by the m11itia of Pennsylvania, assumed such a threatening attitude that the Confed- crate leader began retrograde move ment. At Gettysburg the forces of North and South, almost equal tp strength, clashed in a battle that al most certainly meant either the tri- uu1ph or the defeat of the Confederacy.
 The first Of July was marked by spirited clashes in which, on the whole, the Confederates had the best Of the argument. On the second Lee as- eaulted the Union lines and gained some little advantage in ground after Q. violent and deadly combat. Ou the third the Confederates opened 8 ter rtole artillery fire on the Union cen ter which was followed by an fn- fantry assault in force. This proved a complete failure, and the Confed- crates were driven back demora1ized. On the fourth Lee gave up the ef- fort, and began a nasty reverse march to the Potomac. General Meades who had been placed in command on the very eve of the battle, proved his ability by defeating one of the abaest generals of all time.
 The Gettysburg battle-ground is now a national soldiers cemetery. and is studded with state and regfmental monuments marking the most import ant spots in the battle. The move neut for the preservation of Getfys- burg field was started almost tname- following November the cemetery which them contained the graves of B. 590 Union soldiers, was dedicated by President 1incoln, who delivered a brief but ever memorable address.
 For the great encampment of veter- ans during the next few days the Uni ted States war department has prov1- ded many thousands o6 tents, some POO kitchens, con1p5ete field hospital and an army of 1,6o0 cooks.
 The plan to celebrate the Semi-cen- tenary Of Gettysburg had it's incep- tion in 1909, when the Pennsylvania legislature created a commission to consider and arrange for a proper and fitting recognition of the observ- ance'' of the event, and to invite the of the congress of the United statesp and of 'tother states and commonwealths."
 In order that the veterans -of both North and South might be present without any expense for the enter ta1nment to themselves, the national government appropriated $150,000, and the state of Pennsylvania a similar sum.

CORONER RAISES QUESTION
 OF LIABILITY OF FATHER
 AND SON FOR BOYS DEATH

New Haven, July 1-T11e finding of Coroner Hi Mix. just made public on the death of year old Carlo Ruggierl, who was killed in Middletown avenue on June 19 by an automobile driven by c. Raynond Brock, 8. lad of 16 who drove away after the accident and was not caught for several days, holds that the Brock boy wasn't careless or negligent in operating the machine and exonerates him from direct crim- jnal responsibility. The coroner points out. however, that there is a legal question which he leaves to the pros ecuting officers to decide, whether a homicide charge might Rot lie on the ground that at the time of the acci- dent he was operating an automobile in violation Of the Law, being too young to obtain license.
 Coroner Mix calls attention to the statutes that make 1t a criminal of fense for a lad under IS years old to operate a motor vehicle and for any driver to run away after highway accident, knowing that damage Or in- jury has been caused, without stop ping to make himself known. Atten- ton is also called in the finding to section 1,583 of the statutes, by which Coroner Mix holds that Charles W. Brock, proprietor of the WhitneyvfIIe Creamery, the father of the boy may be held liable in some measure under the law for tho FboysS acts.

JUDGE FAY YIELDS TO GOV. BALDWIN
 WHO IS IN RIGHT

Merfden, July 1-Stating that in his opinion the governor had the lawful right to make the recent Judgeship ap- pointments, Judge Frank s. Fay says, that he will not contest Governor Bald wins action as some of the deposed judges have decided to do, but will retire from the bench next Monday. ''Of course the matter is one of tndi- vfdiual opinion,' said the judge. "1 know many of the best lawyers in the state who say that the governor had no right to make the appoint ments and that the judges should hold over until receiving formal appoint ment by the Legislature And again I know many other prominent lawyers who uphold the governor. Personally I believe that he had the right by law to do what he did and shall re- tire when the time cornes.''
 Judge Fay will sit on the Meriden court bench for the last time next Saturday morning at the Police court session Monday the new court regime begins with Judge H. T. King wear ing the toga-

 The first rapid fire machine gun, the MltraiIlouse, was the invention of a Belgian, and was patented in France hfty-three years ago. Two years later Richard Jordan Gatlfng, an American inventor, produced the first crude Cat ling gun, which, with many eubse- quent Improvements, has been adopted by all the armies Of the world, and has long since superseded the Mitratl- t1ouse. The latter was still in use, however at the time of theF'ranco- Prussian war, and its tdry shrteldng, terrible sound'' was described by many writers as adding a new horror and destru ctfvenes to war. The first ma chine gun consisted of thirty seven barrels secured in a frame round an axis The whole of the charges were the bullets all went to nearly the same spot The number of rounds could not be rsgulated at pleasure, and only vo1heys could be fired.

NO NOVELTY IN CLUBS.

Now. as n matter OF fact. I had been
rather grieved when our appointment was

successful writers live in the charming

Then, as she is most masterlrl
woman and I'm but poor weak thing
I found she was interviewing me- How
long had been over here? How long was
going to stay? Whom had | inter-
viewed? Whom was I going TO inter

that ! felt III like TO tell her my life
story and not bother in the least about
any facts concerning her.

length when she had elected much In

seems to me. You Just come to see u.s.

note, and when the interview appears ii
