his household who were present bore
him out in his statement that he wore
a gentleman's morning wrapper"
Gen. Green related stories of Mr..
Davis life in Fortress Monroe as q
prisoner of the United States and
quoted statements of a fort physician
concerning the prisoners patience
and gentleness during his confinement.
General Green told of Davis release
from Fort Monroe and OF MS going to
Canada and in closing said:
President Johnson's anxiety to con
vict Jefferson Davis of treason was
such that he employed the greatest
criminal lawyers of the age to assist
the attorney general in his investiga
ton of the case. Johnson also sent for
the Chief Justice of the U. S. Supreme
Court and asked him to look into the
matter on the part of the United
States. If ever there was a partisan it
was Salmon P. Chase, but at that time
he was a great lawyer and an honest,
fearless man.
Lincoln, said Chase, wanted JEFF
ferson Davis to escape and he was
right. His capture was a mistake, his
trial will be greater one. We cannot
convict him of treason. Secession is
settled let it stay settled
These words explained the vote of

his peoples interest He was not at
any time a secessionist. He urged on
all occasions forbearance and patience
when political wrongs were heaped
upon the South, but when his state
passed the ordinance of secession he
rendered his resignation as senator,
choosing rather to take his lot with
his own people as a private citizen.
Mr.. Davis never gave up the hope of
a satisfactory compromise until the
first gun had been fired. He contend
ed that a guarantee of equal rights
under the Constitution would restore
the Union Immediately"
The speaker metioned that after Mr..
Davis returned to Mississippi from
Washington, the governor assigned
him to command all the military Fore
es of the state, and on February 8,
1861, he was unanimously elected
president of the provisional govern
ment of the Confederate States of
America.
mfr. Davis regarded the ConreGer
ate constitution model of wisdom and
liberal craftsmanship" said Gen.
Green, and as his election was unan-
imous he accepted, though he greatly
preferred active military service. He
was in no sense a candidate for the
presidency and was greatly disap-
pointed that he had been elected The
provisional government having ex-
pired Feb. %, 1862, the Confederate
congress reelected Mr.. Davis to the
presidency.
Gen. Green referred to Mr.. Davis
conduct of affairs of the Confederacy,
of his efforts on behalf of the soldiers
of the South and on behalf of prison
ers of war of both the North and
the South, of the removal Of Mr.. Davis
and his cabinet from Richmond to
points farther south, as the Union
forces closed about them and of the
receipt by Davis of news of the sur
render of the Confederate generals.

received the first official information
of the surrender of Gen. Joseph E.
Johnston" continued the SPEAKER. He
at once ordered the secretary of war to
pay off the soldiers and dismissed all
of his military escort, asking for only
ten volunteers to accompany him. He
formally dissolved his cabinet and
told each member to look out for his
own safety. Mr. Davis intended to go
West and cross the Chattahoochee and
attempt to fall in with troops in Ala
bama and so cross the Mississippi and
Join Gen. E. K. Smith and continue the
war on that side of the river with the
ultimate purpose that the seeded
states should return to the United
States with all rights of the states I'M
impaired.
Three days after leaving Washing
ton Mr.. Davis found his family en-
camped with a small wagon train and
travelled several days with them. He
still intended to cross the Mississippi.
He had his horse saddled one night
and he laid down to rest shortly be-
fore dawn. Soon afterward his negro
coachman reported to him that he
heard firing nearby. Mr.. Davis left his
tent and saw some union cavalrymen'
His wife urged him to escape. His
horse was hitched near by, AS it was
still dark he picked up in the tent
what he thought was his raincoat, and
later found it was his wife's. Mrs.
Davis threw a shawl over his should
ers to protect him from the cool morn
ing air. He had advanced from the
tent but a few steps when he was
ordered to halt. Mr.. Davis threw off
the raincoat and shawl and advanced
upon the trooper, but his wife rushed
up and threw her arms about him and
there was nothing to do but surrender.
Many false statements have been made
by his enemies as to the dress he
wore when arrested but Mr.. Davis
soldierly character and courage give
the lie to all such stories and those OF

CONFEDERATE CEN.
THRILLS REUNION
WITH ADDRESS
(By Associated Press.)

RICHMOND, Va, June "A tribute
to the character and motives of the
president of the Confederate States of
America was delivered at the Con-
federate Veterans reunion here to-
day by General B. w. Green, of Little
Rock, Ark, in an address on Jefferson
Davis" Gen. Green declared that
"misjudged in life and disfranchised
until his death, Jefferson Davis is
finding his true place in history. He
suffered as no other Confederate. He
met every crisis dauntlessly and meas
ured up to every just expectation and
demand of his people"
The speaker related incidents in Mr..
Davis life as soldier, planter, states
man, U. S. Senator, president of the
Confederacy and as prisoner after
the war between the states With
such a varied and wide experience"
said Gen. Green, his character at all
times exemplified gentleness and
unselfishness. He was unassuming
and rigidly truthful, combining a life
Of patriotism, nobility and sincerity
with an honest desire to serve his
fellow man, which challenges the
worlds admiration.
Having served in public life NOR
than thirty consecutive years until
1861 found him with the highest hon
ors his state could bestow "a L. S.
senator) there was nothing more he
could wish, and yet at the call of duty,
the voice of his state, he laid aside his
honors voluntarily in order to serve

CARPENTERS BUSY
REBUILDING CITIES
DESTROYED BY Army
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, June DEMONSTRATION of
destroyed villages in the lower part Of
the Argonne has commenced within
hearing of the devastation that con-
tinues further north. The work is
7irected by cooperative society OF
carpenters Les Charpentiers de Pa
ris." Soldiers and peasants are do
ing a great deal of the work and thus
learning trade while providing shell
ter for returning refugees. The pre-
feet of the department of the Mouse
has arranged with the cooperative
society for the construction of tempo.
rary dwellings, stores, barns and sta.
bles so as to permit the earliest pos
sible return of the inhabitants at all
points out of reach of the long range
gums.
The "Charpentiers de Paris" is the
most flourishing of the numerous mu-
tual societies of France. Composed
entirely of workmen, this institUss on
began contracting for carpentry work
on its own account with a capital OF
$4,000 francs. Last year it did 5,000,'
900 francs business, distributed 60 per
cent. dividend to it's members, in ad-
dition to the highest rate of wages
paid in the trade. Since the beginning
of the war it has paid to wives of its
modified members the same allow
ances as allowed by the state. 1t con
tinues these payments to the widows
of a considerable number who have
been killed in battle. Since war par
alyzed the building industry, the so
ciety has co-operated with the war de-
partment in building temporary bar
racks, storehouses, aviation sheds anC
portable hospitals.

JAPAN CELEBRATES
DEATH OF PATRIOT
(By Associated Pfess.)

TOXIC, June Am elaborate cele-
bration of the 300th anniversary of the
death of Ieyasu Tokugawa, the founder
of the TokugaWa Shogunate, has been
begun in Japan, and will be continued
for several months. Daily Buddhist
services and gorgeous professions have
been held in Shiba Park, Toxic. The
most picturesque of these was the dali
myo parade followed by the famous
mo- dance which many American
tourists, who had come to see the
cherry-blossoms, arrived just in time
to witness.
In the Tokugawa period, which be-
gan in the 10th century and lasted I'M
til 1868, when the Revolution brought
an end to feudalism, the daimyo or feu-
dial lords were ever accompanied by
am imposing pageant when they went
out in state.
Looking back, Japanese publicists
consider that the feudal system, now
dead, was an incompatible monument
to the genius of Ieqasu. They consider
that the present tercentary celebration
is in honor of a great nation builder
who gave the empire period of tran
quality and progress to prepare it for
the glorious work of the Meta era.
The official Japan Times wrote.
"The feudal system which Ieqasu es-
tablished and handed down was, we
think, an inevitable incident in the
progress of the nation, which could be
rectifed only after period of peace.
Peace, then, was the first and last aim
of Ieyasu. The laws governing Budd'
hism, the revival of learning, the ban
Iishment of Christianity and every othe-
measure that he took after he had ris-
en- to the supreme power, were all for
the cultivation, ennoblement and en-
bellishment of peace. Wise and far
seeing he was frugal and yet generous.
Lbig-hearted and yet sometimes even
vindictive and merciless-all because
he wished peace for his house and
peace for the nation"
