.C. H. MOVER TELLSOF DECORATIONS FROM
 THE MINING DISTRICT
Special Session of Congress siOnal Committee Held to
 Hear Testimony

Chicago, March 1o.--Charles H.
 Mover, president of the Western Fed
 eration of Miners tonight told the con
 gressional committee Investigating the
 Michigan copper strike of his deporta-
 tion from the mining district last De-
 cember special session was held
 to hear Movers testimony.
 Three men, Mover said, came to his
 hotel room in Hancock on the night
 of his deportation. They asked him If he would receive large committees
 Mover said, 15 or 1S other men entered
 the room. They asked him if he would permit the citizens to contribute to the relief of the survivors of the Christi
 mas eve disaster at Italian hall. Mover said he replied that he had not told the members of the federation they should not accept outside help in caring for their dead, but said the families felt they ought not to, and that he would not advise them to accept relief contributed by those outside the fed eration.
 Mover spent most of the day at Il nOSpltal, where CnarleS ManOney or Denver, vice president of the federa : tion. was critically i'll after an opera ton for appendicitis.
 Mover told the committee that A. z Peterman. attorney for the mining companies, as spokesman for the com mittee insisted that Mover was re- sponsible for the attitude of the be reaved families. and but for his ad- vising them they would have accepted 1 the assistance proffered.
 Called Up Official
 When the committee left Mover said he went to the telephone to call an of ncial of the Calumet union
 "The telephone was beside the door, he said. and while I was placing the ] receiver to my ear the door opened and my room was filled with men, Tan ner was the only person with me. The crowd demanded. "where is Moyer?' returning. I said: Here l am, gentle

nied any knowlege of such an appoint ment. x"I never heard of it.. declared the attorney. until saw it in the after noon papers"
 Just where the story originated, or how, it has been impossible to ascertain, but it is quite certain that it is without foundation. Judge Claytons friends, feared the story had been originated in some way to effect his race for reelection and all declared that the judge would not accept a place of this character. Further the democratic platform declares in favor of all appointments to local offices be made from residents in the district and this would bar Judge Clayton, even if he was disposed to accept the place. which he is not. and the suggestion is ridiculed by his friends.

ALASKAN RAILROAD BILL NOW READY FOR WILSON'S SIGNATURE
Senate Adopts Conference Report Following Ac-
 ton of House

Washington, March 10.-The Alaska rail- way bill, providing for the construction of 1000 miles of government railroad and the expenditure of 35,0OO0O0, was ready for the Presidents signature late today, when the Senate adopted the conference report already adopted by the House.
 President Wilson has indicated his in tention of signing the bill as soon as it reaches the White House, and tentative plans for constructing the first govern ment railroad already have been consid- cred at the interior department. Secre- tary Lane, long an advocate of the proj ect, is prepared to go ahead with it as soon as the President gives the word
 Final action in Congress on the Dill came after long debate in the Senate, the report of the conference committee appointed to settle differences between the two houses being adopted, 42 70 2. The measure authorizes the construction of not more than 1000 miles of railroad to connect Alaska's coal fields with the coast, the route to be selected by the President, to whom also are left many other impor- tant details. He is to decide whether or not railroad lines already constructed in the territory shall be purchased as a part of the government system, and whether the road is to be operated by the govern ment itself or leased after it is built
 Little Discussion
 The discussion today was principally on a suggestion by Senator Cummns that the Senate conferees be instructed to re- insert the language of the bill as passed by the Senate and stricken out by the House. providing that the President i- constructing the railroad must if existing railroad lines in Alaska are to be bought and used as part of the system buy or arrange for the purchase of these lines before construction of extensions is begun
 Senator Cummns declared that leaving 1t discretionary with the President whether the government should begin erecting lines into the interior at the northern termni of existing private rail- roads from the Alaskan seaboard, might so enhance the value of existing roads that syndicates could demand a prohibi- tive price from the government.
 Obviously Outrageous
 Senator Pullman replied that such a thing would be so obviously outrageous that no President would yield to any in- fluence which could bring out such re- suit. The bill as perfected, he said, di- rected the President to construct con tinuous line from the seaboard to the in terior, and that, obviously, it first would be settled whether the main line should be built by the government or purchased outright or by condemnation from exist ing corporations before any extensions in, ths A Ia al, inf farn
 There was an extended debate on Sen ator Norris contention that the language of the bill placed on the President the obligation to make an effort to lease inc railroad after 1t Is built. before the gov ernment undertakes to operate itself. Other senators insisted, however that the language already made this optional

mander-ln-cnief has mis- own omclaI
ladies', chosen from the South at large.
There are three departments, known
as the Army of Northern Virginia de-
partment. Army of Tennessee depart
ment and Trans-Mississippi depart
ment. Each department appoints
maids and sponsors and sends them to
all reunions. The scope of country
covered by these many organizations
has about half the population OF the
United States; hence, the interest in
a Confederate reunion is always wide
spread, Society circles in all of this
territory are interested in the Jack
sonville reunion, and the event will
bring here one of the largest crowds
of young people ever assembled in
the South. Florida appeals to the
young, because of its flowers and it's
wonders--its poetry, It's songs and its
attractive history. Rivers and ocean,
gulf and bays have interest all their
own. The palm and the pine, liveoak
and holly, and hundred other forest
trees that abound throughout the
state as nowhere else on the CONT
nent, invest Florida with an interest
as wide as the nation. Greater inter-
est attaches to the Jacksonville re-
union than to any recent meeting of
the Confederates, and preparations are
being made to entertain a large
crowd Of people in May.

scale In their communities.


Mapping out social program,
therefore, for a Confederate reunion
is task that demands the best of
talent in the entertainment line.
There must be dinners. receptions,
balls, trips to points of interest around
the reunion cities and anything else
in the line of social entertainment the
committee may devise. The crown
ing event of the week in society.
however, is the annual ball for maids
and sponsors. If the reunion is held
in a city where hall large enough
to accommodate several hundred dane
ing couples at once can not be Sc
cured, dancing pavilion is construct
ed for the occasion. This pavilion
consists of large canvas tent, well
fioored and lighted; 1t is also supplied
with comfortable seats on the grand
stand order, where several thousand
spectators may witness the ball. If
a reader has not seen ono of these an
nual balls at Confederate reunion
he has but limited idea Of its size and
brilliancy. Nothing to equal 1t in
'splendor can be seen in the United
States, unless it be the Inauguration
ball at the national capital, now fallen
into social desuetude. If the inaugu'
ration ball is put out of the contest
the annual ball of tie Confederate re.
union, at which the maids and spon.
sors hold sway, is the greatest social
function of the United States.
