peace negotiations with the Huerta
government and the policy the
United States would pursue hereafter

They were informed that suffici-

fled of the action OF the United States,
SO that they may give similar advice,

number of American troops along the

DRAMATIC INCIDENTS OF
WAR WORN BOYS MEET

In camp is the lost and found bureau,
located under the benches in the big
tent. Everything found on the
grounds is brought there, and thou
sands apply every day for missing
articles. In the last two days a mis-
cellaneous collection of oddities has
been piling up unclaimed.
There are at least hundred
clutches piled up in the bureau, with
only dozen or SO applicants for
them. Those who come to redeem
their lost crutches seldom can recog-
nize them, and most of them go away
with somebody else's.
Found-Wooden Leg and False Teeth.
There is one wooden leg also lying
unclaimed 1t was brought in by a
Boy Scout, who had found II under a
tree It is believed that an old SOL
dier lying under the tree, had I'M
buckled his stump for comfort and
had then been overcome by the heat
and carried to hospital
Several sets of false teeth have
been found, and are awaiting identi-
fication. A Vermont veteran came in
yesterday, asking for his teeth, which
he had dropped from his pocket after
he had removed them for comfort.
He looked over the collection, but
could not identify any set as his.
John c. Groome. commanding the
force of State police here patrolling
the town Of Gettysburg, has issued
a statement denouncing published
statements that an increased force of
police is necessary because of the
depredations of crooks.
Not Case of Robbery.
Captain Groome says that thus far
there has not been a single case of
robbery reported. This he ascrbes to
the fact that in addition to the entire
State police force there are now here
ten picked men of a big detective
agency. who have just finished duty
at Chattanooga, Fredericktown and
Easton, eleven Pennsylvania railroad
detectives and nine from the Reading
railway. The men are consequently
around the railroads and have cap
tured and ordered out of town twenty
men known to them to have criminal
records These were all apprehended
before they had time to do any
crooked work.
Eighteen Governors on Scene.
Three governors arrived in bunch
late yesterday. They were Haines, of
Maine; Fletcher, of Vermont, and
Felker. of New Hampshire. Each
was accompanied by members of his
STAFF. This makes a total Of eighteen
now on the grounds. They are here
to participate In the governors day
exercises in the big tent this after
noon.

THAW STARTS SICKLES
RELIEF FUND BY MAILING
$1,000 TO BATTLEFIELD

GETTYSBURG, Pa, July 3.-Harry
X. Thaw has come to the financial
rescue of General Daniel e. Sickles
from his cell in Matteawan. He
sent a letter to Chairman Schoon-
maker, of the Pennsylvania Commits.
sion, having charge of the celebra-
ton of the fiftieth anniversary of
the battle of Gettysburg, in which
1000 in cash was enclosed. In the
letter Thaw wrote that he felt the
deepest sympathy for General Sickles
because of the misfortunes that had
come to him in his old age. This
sympathy. the writer declared. was
heightened by the fact that Thaw had
two uncles in the Union army and
a near relative In the Southern army.
These circumstances impelled him,
he wrote, ito offer thousand dollars
with which to start fund for the
payment of the debts of gallant
Union officer who had in his old age
been bowed by financial misfortune"
Colonel Schoonmaker after consult
ing some friends was advised to re-
turn the money to 1haw with let
ter informing him that the Pennsyl-
vania Commission is interested in
General Siclxles "only to the extent
of extending to him the courtesies
of the State while he is within its
borders and that it could not under
take to be the custodian of such a
fund"
Colonel Schoonmaker had not de-
cided last night what action he will
take except placing the money in a
bank for safe-keeping.

HAYES, WHO FIRED FIRST
GUN AT GETTYSBURG,
is GUEST OF HONOR
From n STAFF Correspondence

GETTYSBURG, Pa, July 3-Mi-
chael Hayes, Of Springfield, Ill, who
fired the first gun at the battle of
Gettysburg, was guest of honor at the
headquarters of General Liggett, the
camp commandant, this morning.
Hayes, a shirt-sleeved, little old
Irishman, sat surrounded by gold
laced army officers, who respectfully
questioned the old man as they lis
tened to his story of the opening of
the battle.
AS a gunner in Tidbalrs battery,
Hayes helped to wheel four guns into
position on Seminary Ridge on the
morning of July /, 1863. and at 6
o'clock fired the first shot from the
ridge at a division of Confederates
lying in the edge of the woods half
mile away.
without preaTangement, 1t was
learned today. the same gun fired by
Hayes was used to fire the salute at
the opening of the present encamp-
ment, and Gunner Hayes this morn
ing rode on the timber of the gun
with which he opened the battle, as
the battery wheeled 1t in position to
fire a salute to welcome Governor Sui
ger. of New York, into camp.

GETTYSBURG, Pa. July 3.--There
| are as many stories floating about
| Gettysburg as there are veterans
Some of them sound strange and some
improbable. Here is one which was
| told today by A. T. Dice, vice-presi-
dent of the Reading railway:
Once upon time there was a vet
eran in gray and a veteran in blue
They came to Gettysburg and In the
! course of(events and visits to hotels
they happened to meet. They looked
/ over the sights of Gettysburg and the
monuments of the field. But they
| found they must part. The one in
! blue lived in Oregon; the one in gray
| in New Orleans. They went weeping
| together to their station and passed
| by train after train, deferring the
parting that must come. Just what
| they said, just how they reached the
| final grand idea of the meeting Mr..
Dice did not know
But, however, yesterday the two
| finally decided that the time for part
| ing had really come. The one from
Oregon couldn't figure how to reach
home via New Orleans and his gray
comrade. while willing to see the
West, did not have the money for
ticket.
Blue and Gray Swap Uniforms.
They lined up on the platform as
their trains stood waiting, and then
before the crowd they slowly stripped
off their uniforms and exchanged
them there while the curious fiocked
to see them. The Oregonian, who
came proudly to town with a coat of
blue, went as proudly away with one
of gray. and the veteran from Loui-
siana, who boasted the gray Of the
South, sat with swelling chest in his
new uniform of blue.
The camp is full of unexpected
meetings. Every day brings forth nu-
merous reunions between men who
have not seen one another for many
years. Many are commonplace, but
some are extraordinary. For instance,
here is one:
l. d. Munsee, of Erie county, Pa,
a soldier in the 111th Pennsylvania,
was captured by the Confederates at
Peach Tree Creek, Ga. when he was
one of Sherman's army on the cele-
brated march to the sea. He was
being conveyed to the rear by Con-
federate soldier, when the Union bat
teries opened fire upon the party
among whom he was a prisoner. The
man who was guarding Munsee was
hit and fell, knocking Munsee down
and lying on top of him. Seeing his
chance of escape, he lay very still
under the unconscious Confederate
while the battle ragged around them.
That night he slipped from under the
body and escaped to the Union lines.
Meets "Reb" He Thought Dead.
81 thought that fellow was dead"
said Munsee, but / saw him today.
Poor fellow. his minds bad. and he
didn't recognize me, but was sure
of him. ] couldn't even get his name,
but I'm going over later to the
Georgia camp and try to find out who
he is.
One of the most interesting places
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-07-03

the Gettysburg Hotel. thanks to the
manner in which members of the
State constabulary handled the affair.
Otherwise, had the real reason for
the fight become known. it might
have embroiled the entire camp.
An unidentified veteran VINO made
his escape during the subsequent fight
was the innocent cause of the trouble.
He, with several women, were dining
in the Gettysburg Hotel. While there
Henry, accompanied by Malcolm
Chiffon, entered the dining-room.
The old veteran was just dilating to
the women of his party of the beauty
of character of Lincoln as he remem-
bered him, personally.
Henry heard him.
Lincoln was nothing but damned
Niger" Henry remarked.
The veteran jumped to his feet and
made a dive for Henry. The women
in the veterans party held him back.
Henry, looking for concerted at
tack, and acting as though he would
repel the entire Union army, drew q
knife. He lunged right and left,
and before he stopped he had stabbed
seven. Eventually he himself was
stopped only after he had nearly
killed a constable and had been
beaten into inconsistencies with the
butt of gun in the hands of the
dying constable.
