| CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April u.
The actual work of preparing to
entertain the reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans and Sons of
Confederate Veterans, has been going
on for six weeks and the results are
gratifying to the local committees
and reassuring to the veterans and
their friends. That Chattanooga will
be ready is no longer question 1t
| is an assured fact.
The largest undertaking, as al
lready explained in this corresl ond-
ence is that of building towL Of
tents to accommodate the veterans.
Chattanooga is expecting from 10000
to $4,000 population for Camp A. P.
Stewart, composed entirely of veter-
ans of the civil war Cots and tents
have been secured from the govern
ment at Washington to accommo-
date that number.
1t is no small job to set up 1900
tents of capacity sufficient to house
10000 men. The committee in
charge of this task was fortunate in
securing the aid of a troop of the
Eleventh cavalry stationed at Ft.
Oglethorpe, under Capt Gillem OF the
regular army, to erect the tents This
means that the camp will be laid out
under approved regular army plans,
with every consideration for the com
fort and health of the veterans. 1t
will be in all respects the best camp
that the veterans ever occupied.
Reports from all departments of
the work show that satisfactory pro-
gress has been made, and give assur-
ance that Chattanooga will be ready
to entertain it's guests on May 27. 2S
and 20. The people of the Southern
states, who may desire to attend this
reunion, are assured of every comfort
that progressive city of 100000
population can supply.

ADJOURNED SESSION
OF QUARTERLY COURT
SECOND MONDAY MAY
MANY MATTERS OF VITAL I'M
PORTANcE TO COUNTY BE
CONSIDERED.
FLOATING OF COUNTY WARRANTS
The Tax Levy and the New Road
Provisions Subject to Pending Leg
is'ation-Venire Was Appointed
Other Matters.

Quarterly court made a short ses-
sion Monday when it completed
the deliberations necessary for the
proper transaction of the business
before it before II o'clock and ad-
journed 70 meet on the second Mon
day in May, two weeks before the
meeting of the May term of the cir
cult court.
There were a number of things
pending before the legislature that
affect conditions in the county that
were considered as sufficient reasons
for the adjourned session There
were, however, four principal items
that were mentioned as the reasons.
There is new road law that has
passed several readings, and may be-
| come law or adjournment of the
Legislature. This law makes some
material changes in the administra-
ton of the affairs of the county
roads, and the court saw fit to await
the result of this legislation before
going into the preparation for the
road work of the county for the ensu.
ing year.
The tax levy will be another of the
important matters to come UP in May
the delay on this being on account
OF the indefinite shape of the state
revenue bill.
The act regarding the floating OF
interest bearing warrants to liqui.
date the present indebtedness of the
county is also in an indefinite atti.
tude and will be considered at the
May session. The committee ap.
pointed at former term of the court
was continued to report when the
court again convenes.
The jury commission bill, which
makes different arrangement for
the selection of juries other than by
the regular venire system, was the
fourth special item mentioned We
nire was appointed, however, sub.
ject to application of new law.
There may be some other i'm por-
tant matters develop during the in
term. All bridge matters that were
deferred come under the provisions
| of the new road law.

washington. Strong representa-
lions the most drastic in phraseology
that have been made since the pres
emit American administration came
into power, were made to the Huerta
government in Mexico.
The United States government de-
manded not only the prompt arrest,
court-martial and punishment of the
Mexican federal soldier who shot
Charles B. Dixon. an American immi-
grafton official at Juarez, Mexico, but
the immediate release of Charles
Bissell and Bernard Mcdonald,
mining managers, imprisoned by fed
eral soldiers at Chihuahua City and
said to be threatened with execution.
So serious were these incidents re-
garded in official circles that they
over-shadowed largely the theoretical
considerations Of policy which the
visit Of Ambassador Henry Lane VIII
son had brought to climax. The
Ambassador himself was so exercised
over the developments in Mexico that
he dictated two strong telegrams
one to the embassy at Mexico City
and the other to the American consul
at Juarez land while Secretary Bryan
slightly modified their tone, they were
approved and promptly dispatched

WIDE APART ON
MEXICO POLICY
Conference Of President and
Ambassador Wilson.
NO SUPPORT FOR HUERTA.
Movement On Foot Which Would
Spare American Governments
the Necessity OF Offer
ing Mediation.

Washington Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson, summoned from Mexico
City to inform the Washington Adj
ministration of conditions in the re-
bellion-torn republic, talked for an
hour with President Wilson and Sec
rotary Bryan Monday, submitting
chiefly Recommendation that the
United States use its influence to
stabilize the Huerta regime.
No policy was evolved at least
none was announced but it became
known that the Presidents ideas and
those Of Ambassador Wilson as to the
course to be pursued are so radically
different that administration officials
interpreted the days developments as
forecasting the acceptance Of Ambas-
sador Wilson's resignation.
Take Opposite Viewpoints.
President Wilson and the Ambas-
sador regard the future of the Next
can situation, it was learned from OPP
posite viewpoints. The President is
concerned over the morality of any
policy adopted by the United States,
and its effect on other Latin Ameri-
can countries, and is disinclined to
strengthen government that came
into power through the questionable
events incident to Madero's assassinar
ton.
Ambassador Wilson. on the other
hand, is disposed to look at the situa-
tion, not from past events, but with
sfIo nr.a offcal idoa Of fha fl1flIra Ha
believes it is the business of govern
ments to look to the future, and his
suggestions have been in the direction
of extending recognition to the Huerta
government iflit did certain things to
conserve american interests.
Not To Send Wilson Back.
The inadvisability from diplomatic
standpoint Of maintaining in Mexico
City representative who would not
be sympathetic toward the purposes
Of the Wilson Administration in Wash
ington is said to have practically con-
WINGED the President that the Embassy
in Mexico City had better be con-
Quoted for the present by Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, its First Secretary,
reputed here as efficient and expert
enced. The appointment Of a new
Ambassador would be contingent upon
the establishment OF satisfactory
Government at Mexico City. Mean
while, the President advised Ambas-
sador Wilson to take rest for few
days, as he has been laboring under
nervous strain.

THE PARCEL POST
WILL Be EXTENDED
Burleson Says Changes Will Go
Into Effect August Is.
SENATE COMMITTEE AGREED.
Inter State Commerce Commission
Chairman Explains What That
Body Had Given its
Sanction.

Washington. Despite Senatorial
criticism Of the proposed heavy re-
duction in parcel post rates and the
increase in the size of packages to 20
pounds for $50 miles and less, Post
master-General Burleson announced
that he would issue the final orders
at once putting the changes in effect
August Is.
The announcement came after the
wisdom Of making the changes had
been subjected to searching review
before the Senate Postoffice Commit
tee in the presence Of the Postmaster
General.
Chairman Clark, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, explaining
why the commission had sanctioned
the proposed changes, said he believed
the Postmaster-G General had ample
power under the law to make them.
Il am convinced that the Postoffice
Department ought to, can and will ex-
tend the parcel post until it will carry
all packages up to 100 pounds he
added.
The sentiment of large majority
Of the members Of the Postoffice Com
mittee, liter Mr.. Burleson and Chair
man Clark had addressed them, was
that Mr.. Burleson was within his au-
thority when he. ordered the changes.
The hearing developed opposition
from only two persons Senator
Bryan, Of Florida, and Senator Bris-
tow, of Kansas. Other members of
the committee, particularly Senators
Swanson, of Virginia; Lea. Of Tenn
essee, and Bankhead, Of Alabama,
strongly backed up Mr.. Burleson
Several Senators, however, thought
Mr.. Burleson had overstepped his au-
thority in disseminating the distinctive
parcel post stamp and making the
ordinary stamp good for parcel post
packages. The committee will meet
again to further discuss this order.
The statement thai ultimately the
parcel post weight limit would be 100
pounds and the Postoffice Department
will be handling all the retail pack
age business in this country supports
statements made by Representative
David J. Lewis. of Maryland, the
father Of the system.
In justify g his order Postmaster
General Burleson said before the Sen
ate Committee.
II feel that Congress wanted the
Postmaster-G General to go ahead and
improve the service and not to be
content with standing STILL We are
going to, lake money on the new
business and we will be able to make
further reductions in rates too.
Every important step we take is in
the nature of an experiment. For
instance, they estimated before the
law went into effect that 300,000,000
packages would be handled in year
and now we know they will handle
600, 00O,0 0O."
Mr.. Burleson added that since the
introduction of the parcel post the re-
cepits Of the Chicago Postofice had
increased 21.63 per cent, the biggest
increase In the history of the Office.
He said the Government will make 10
cents profit on 20-pound packages.

causing the arrest and the shooting.

ond recoloration may be seen. All
these phenomena may be seen, In re-
verse order, at sunrise, though they
are less common then than at sunrise.
The recoloration Of the Alps has
been variously explained, but there
seems to be little doubt that it is due.
at least principally, to the reflection
from the peaks of the rosy glow which
forms in the western sky after sunset,
known as the purple light" and
which is sometimes intense enough to
constitute a secondary luminous
source. The diffuse appearance of the
recoloration, as compared with the
well defined zone of rosy light that
rests upon the peaks while the latter
arr still in direct sunlight is explained
by the broad expanse of the purple
light as compared with the small disk
OF the sun. Sometimes the sky itself
e. e., the fine dust In the upper at
mosphere) refec,s the purple light,
giving rise to second purple light"
for an observer situated at suitable
angle of vision. This in turn may be
reflected by the mountains giving the
rare phenomenon Of second recolora-
ton.
