Yet, though Mr.. Bunny is a universal

that Gen. Colquitt would be forced to
retreat to the entertainments, with
the enemy pursuing him, and that the
Confederates would then have an adj
vantage that would outweigh the pre-
ponderance in numbers of the FEEDER
ais. But fearing that Gen. Colquitt
would be too seriously engaged to re-
treat without great loss, Gen. Finegan
ordered his forces, less than the en-
trenched section, on the field, he him
self leading.
Late in the evening the forces be-
came engaged in the pine forest. The
heavey roar of the Federals guns
drownded the reports of the lighter
artillery of the Floridans Canister
was hurled against the Confederates
at short range, but the regiments
stood firm. Gen. Harrison brought
two Georgia regiments into line in
lieving a section of CANDLES battery
that had suffered by the Federal fire.
Colquitt advanced with such rapidity
as to drive back the enemy, capturing
several of their guns. Confederate
ammunition became exhausted but the
troops stood firmly in line under a
heavy fire until their cartridge boxes
were refilled. Then the troops in
gray, the rebel yell resounding
through the forest, pushed forward
again in compact formation against
the Federal lines, which gave way un-
der the charge until the entire force
was in full retreat
The victorious Confederates follow
ed up their advantage, dispersed the
many lines of defense erected by Sey-
mour's men until darkness put an end
to the battle. The Federals did not
halt until they reached Sanderson,
seven miles away Fearing pursuit
they pressed on to st. Mary's River, a
distance of ten miles, as one writer
expressed it, ''the wounded filling the
night air with lamentations, the Grip
pied horses neighing in pain, and
full moon kissing the cold, clammy
lips of the dying"
Reiterated to Jacksonville
Gen. Seymour abandoned Baldwin
on the retreat, burning 100000 worth
of stores collected there, and came on
to Jacksonville which was strongly
fortified. His forces were increased
to 10000 men, but no further effort
was made to retrieve the disaster of
Olustee.
The aggregate loss of the Confeder-
ates in the battle of Olustee was GAG,
that of the Federals 1851, thus giving
total loss of 2,807. The percentage
of loss to the Federals was about 35,
greater than Gettysburg in excess of
Chickamauga, and far ahead of the
percentage of loss in any European
battle. The Confederate loss in per-
centage was close to %, and the COM
bined percentage is thirty-one. Fran
els P Fleming, in his Memoirs of
Florida" says of Olustee: "The bat
tie was assuredly one of the bloodiest
of the war in proportion to the num-
bers engaged, and an incontestable
victory. Gen. Finegan and his COM
mand were at once congratulated by
Gen. Beauregard, and in May were
voted thanks by the Confederate
States Congress-

Henry had fought his way to Lake
City, where he encamped.


There were but few Confederate
troops in Florida at this time, and
fewer still that had ever seen serious
battle. They were commanded by
Gen. Joseph Finegan, a man possessed
of great courage and good Judgment
but inexperienced in war. Gen. Beau
regard was then stationed at Charles
ton, S. c., and Gen. Finegan appealed
to him for help. Gen. w. NJ. Gardner
commanding the Confederate force OF
a few hundred in middle Florida, was
ordered to the assistance of Gen. Fine
gan. AS chance had it, Colquitt's
Georgia brigade was within reach OF
the scene of the impending conflict,
and Gen. Beauregard ordered that
splendid organization to double-quick
to Olustee.
While these preparations were go
ing on, Gen. Finegan was confronted
by an army of about 5000 well train
ed and well equipped men. Finegan's
army numbered about 600. Chance
gave Gen. Beauregard time to supply
reinforcements. Gen. Gilmore, for
precautionary reasons, ordered his
army to entrench near Lake City and
await developments. This delay was
precisely what Gen. Beauregard want
ed His plan was to delude the Fed
erals into the belief that no steps
would be taken to assist the Florida
| troops. AS a part of the plan, on the
night of February IL, 1864, the bat
teries of Charleston harbor opened a
terrific fire on Morris Island, the Fed
eral stronghold, and under this excite
ment the Colquitt Brigade was with
drawn from Beauregard's thin lines
and sent to Lake City. Orders were
also sent to the Georgia troops under
Gen. George P. Harrison to go to the
relief of Finegan. 1t is matter of
interest and satisfaction that Gen.
Harrison is now commander of the
Department of Tennessee, United
Confederate Veterans Association,
and resides at Opelika, Ala.
Beauregard's Force
BY concentrating this force, and
calling to the scene all the troops in
Florida, Gen. Beauregard massed an
army of approximately 5000 men in
the vicinity of Lake City before the
Federals were aware of his purposes.
Therefore when Gen. Seymour, in
command of the Federals, moved
from his position at st. Marys Febru-
airy 20, he was confronted with force
almost as numerous as his own. Sta
tistics in this instance, like those of
practically all battles, are conflicting,
but the Confederates had between a.
600 and 5000 men, and the Federals
between $500 and 5000 in the battle
of Olustee. However, the entrenched
! Confederates numbering several hun
dred, were not actually engaged. Gen.
I Finegan feared that the Federals
could not be attempted to attack the
/ entertainments, and after little Skin
mishing for position, he ordered Gen.
Coluuitt to advannnce and select the
battlefield. Gen. Colquitt selected the
point where he met the enemy at the
best place for deciding the issue, and
that point happened to be two miles
east of the railroad station of Olustee
in pine forest.
/ Evidently Gen. Finegan believed

FREIGHT HANDLER
 ASKS PERMISSION TO DOUBLE DAMAGES
Wants His Action Against New Haven Road to Call for
 $3O,OOO.

New Haven,~Apri1 1O-A motion for an order to amend the claim for dam ages made by Marion Hubert against the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad so that damages claimed would be $50, 600 instead of 1000. was made before Judge Williams in the superior court today.
 Hubert, freight handler, claims that while in the employ of the railroad at Westchester, N. Y., on May IA, 1912, a heavy barrel was placed upon his back. The weight was so great that it crushed him down injuring severely his back so that, surgical operations were later necessary.
 His counsel also asked that an or der be issued placing the records of the case at the disposal of the plain tiff. The railroad, in it's reply, not only objects to the proposed amend mentg but says that to make the rec ords available as asked for would mean that the defendant corporation might be at disadvantage in trial of the case. Decision on the mo- ton will be made Tuesday.

PROPOSE FRIENDLY
 ACTION TO DECIDE .LAWLER'S ELECTION
Legality of Hartford Mayors Seat May Be Tested by
 Bond Brokers.

Hartford, April 10-Mayor Joseph H. LawIers was at his office in city hall for a time this morning and had con- ferences with number of leading Democrats and heads of city depart ments. He announced his intention of leaving the city this afternoon for a rest of 10 days following the stren- uousness of the municipal campaign.
 Lawyers and other aStute observers of things political and municipal agreed today that the first test of the complete legal qualifications to be made will come up on the prospective issuesof water bonds to the amount of $2 000, 900. Bond buyers usually make a diligent search of the records and credentials in such matter and it is possible that, if there is no ''heat- ing act" secured to confirm MT. Law ler's title to office in a manner satis- factory to the bond buyers, they may. to fulfill all possible interpretations of the law, have recourse to the courts.
 It is declared that there is no ques- ton of MT. LawIer's title as mayor defacto and the legality of all his ap- pointments and acts in that capacity; the advantage of court proceedings would add the qualification of mayor de jure.
 Lawyers, bondmen and brokers dis cussed the situation today and one suggestion was that Malacch1 J. Ho- gan, president of the board of alder men, who was acting mayor of the city between a. m. and the hour when MT. Lawlers was sworn in on Thursday, should bring 8 friendly quo warranto proceedings against Mayor Lawler in order to secure court ru1- ing.
 Whether or not this action or some other will be taken is not determined but indications today are that the matter will eventually reach the courts.

Washington, April 10-Inportant re- forms in the methods of pleading, pro- cedure and practice in federal courts are proposed in the Clayton bill re-. ported to the house by the committee on the Judiciary, of which Congress

mand for it made Known by thous- ands of communications and the inn perative necessity of speedy, com plete and fundamental reorganization of the entire pleading, procedure and practice in vogue in the inferior fed eral courts. The committee believes the bill makes possible the complete solution of a. problem in a manner surprisingly in accord with both pro- fessionaI and lay sen ntiment. This has been effected by the character of the program embraced in the bill, which makes it possible for lawyers en- tertaining wholly divergent views to accept it. Provision is made for these views to be discussed before and set tied by the supreme court, to which plan there is no dissent. The bill deals only with one great principle, leaving all details to the supreme e court, which is it's featural merit

MILITARY CAMPS
 URGED UPON YOUTHS
Major-GeneraI Wood Tells z Young Men of Advantages
 Offered by Government.

Washington, April 1O-Major Gen eral Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army, today sent out to school su- perintendents all over the country a letter endorsing the student military instructions camps to be held during the coming summer. Al1uding to the fact that these camps have the hearty endorsement of President Wilson and Former President Taft as we'll as lead ing educators. General Wood says:
 Knowing the benefit of a certain amount of military training to a na- ton and that in the United States such training can only be obtained by vol untary effort and that the great ma, Jority of young men are unable to af- ford this training as given in the var ious military schools and colleges, the secretary of war has decided to estab- fish four students military instruction camps during the coming summer which students 1 8 years old or over- members of the graduating classes at high schools throughout the country are eligible to attend; this at the minimum cost for food and clothing and transportation.
 These camps are of great value not only to the students from phy- sicaI and education standpoint but to the nation in that they inspire among its citizens a considerable amount of sound military information and in crease by just that much the number of partially trained men who would be available and greatly needed in time of emergency
 The camps will be held at Raleigh, N. C., Burlington. Vt., and Ludington, Mich, from July to August 7, and at Monterey, Cal, from June 26 to July 31.
