AIexandrians Witness Impressive
Ceremonies and Listen to Orations
Yesterday

The weather yesterday morning
was Indicative of rain, and the many
people of this city who had purposed
to visit Arlington had reason to be
lieve the ceremonies in honor OF the
Confederate dead would be interferred
with materially, but later the sun shone
and by the time the special train
left this city at o'clock conditions
were favorable and cooi breeze rem
dered the trip still more enjoyable.
The special which ran through to
Arlington without change was well
patronized as were those which fol-
lowed later, and by four o'clock, the
hour fixed for the ceremonies fair
representation of Alexandrians was
present.
They returned later in the evening
much pleased with what they heard
and saw.
Claude A. Swanson, United Stats
Senator from Virginia, In his address
declared that if the South could have
had access to the s:a, the Confederacy
would have succeeded. A nation that
is cut off from the sea is practically
cut off from the world. 1t was the
Norths naval power that destroyed
the Confederacy.'
Defending the attitude of the South
Senator Swanson said: 81 am not OLE
of those who has an apology to make
for its past, and we need no defense.
The South fought for the sovereignty
of the state against unwarrantsd aG-
erosion of the national government.
The speaker said that the national
government many years atterwalo
not only recognized the right OF a
state to secede, but even arranged
,, for the revolt and she succession OF
! Panama from Columbia, and recog-
nized the new state as the sovereign
government. That the civil war was
the greatest war in all times in the
history of the world, and that Alex
| ander the Great, Caesar, Napoleon ihe
Great. and other celebrated generals
cannot compete in any shape or form
with the leaders of war or the Con-
federacy, was the claim advanced by
Senator Swanson who said the ia
NOUS round robin which was sent
from Cuba to the War Department by
a we'll known colonci complaining
about food clothing and other accom-
modations and necessities, was like a
pigamy, compared with the dang
ers, deprivations, and sacrifices made
by the Confederate soldiers during
the memorable years in the COS.
Hileary Herbert, chairman OF he
Arlington monument COMMITTEE read
statement on the fund and on the
progress of the work on the statue
now being made in Rome, Italy, by
Sir Moses Ezekiel. former Confeder-
ate soldier Mr.. Herbert expressed
! the hope that the monument would be
! ready by next fall, and that the I'M
yelling ceremonies would take place
at that time. There are on hand
$685. 30, and Mr. Herbert said that he
hoped that before long he would be
able to report the full amount neccs-
sary for the erection of the memorial.
A petition has been submitted by him
to Congress, asking that the monu-
ment be permitted to be brought in
tariff free.

DECISIONS OF THE
SUPREME COURT

Special Dispatch 70 ere -I-.eltgencer.
CHARLESTON. W. Va. Feb. 26.-
IF a purchaser of a lot OF ground for
building purposes takes a deed there
for. describing II by metes and
bounds. and as 40 feet wide. and II
is afterwards discovered to include a
part of an unused public alley. not
discontinued by the municipality. thus
reducing the size OF the lot TO 30 feet.
such reduction so materially affects
the lot for the purpose intended as
to confer pom the purchaser the
right to have the deed rescinded."
said the supreme court OF appeals
Tuesday in the case Of Wilson VS..
Mcconnell ct al. from Marshall
county. in which the opinion OF tbs
lower court was affirmed by Judge
Williams.
The opinion says that equity will
grant relief TO the party injured by
resembling a contract for fraud or
mistake. as to matter materially af-
fecting the substance of the thing
contracted for. Notwithstanding he
has a concurrent legal remedy for the
same wrong.
"A public street or alley may be
created by a dedication OF the land
for that purpose by the proprietor.
and acceptance by a municipality:
and "A public easement so acquired is
not lost by ~non-user."s
Reversed and Decree Entered. .
The supreme court. in the case OF
Roberts VS.. Martin ct al. from Mineral
county. reversed the lower court and
entered a decree here. The opinion
OF the supreme cour was written by
Judge Robinson. The case is one af-
fecting the water in streams. a sub
Ject of great interest at this time.
The case therefore is one of more
than passing interest.
"A diversion OF a natural water

opinion in the higher court. The
right Of a riparian proprietor TO have

in its natural now is a right annexed
TO the soil and exists as parcel OF the

In the course of his remarks for further

and in. anticipating the very questions
that the bankers would have liked to
ask, made plain the entire workings of
the proposed measure
Senator Owen was handicapped by not
being present during. the speech OF the
Colorado Senator, bun soon warmed up
to his subject. The greatest compliment
was given Senator Shaforth when the en-
tire audience of bankers and bank direc-
tcrs. supposedly opposed to the measure.
gave him the most enthusiastic applause
for his elucidation OF the workings OF
the bill and the clear forward statement.
The feeling In local financial circles
yesterday was distinctly favorable 10 tthe
blk and local bankers generally admitted
yesterday that the Federal board of con-
trol should not have actual bankers in
its membership. Senator Shaforth was
clear, and left nothing to guesswcrk
