DIXIE VETERANS

Resolution, Providing Shelter
For Brunswick Reunion, Held
Up in Lower House.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The
hope Of the Confederate veterans of
getting United States Army tents for
their reunion at Brunswick, Ca, be-
ginning July TO- went glimmering to
day, when Representative Fowler, of
Illinois, objected to the consideration
OF the resolution authorizing the War
Department to lend the tents.
Representative Fowler first called
up his resolution to appropriate
money to send the veterans in the
District of Columbia to the reunion
at Gettysburg. Galloway, of Texas,
objected. A moment later Howard,
Of Georgia, called up the resolution
TO lend tents to the Confederate vet
Grams. He was acting for Walker,
OF Georgia, who is out of the city.
Fowler. smarting because Galloway
had defeated his plans. at once in
terposed his objection, and the reso-
luton went over.
Minority Leader Mann, of Illinois,
eloquently pleaded for the passage of
both resolutions, but Galloway and
Fowler insisted On their objections.
These old soldiers are passing.
Soon they will be of no more expense
to US" said Mann. 1T does seem
that if we are a united country, as
we hear SO often, that the objections
to both these resolutions should be
withdrawn. Let the reconciliation be-
tween the blue and the gray be conf
plete."
