WILSON REVIEWS PARADE
OF VETERANS IN CAPITAL
Gray-CIad Host Is Greeted
With 0utburStS of Spon-

WASHINGTON, June IA new chap
ter in the history of the American re-
public was written today in the capital
of the nation when thousands of battle
SCARED veterans of the Confederacy and
veterans Of the Grand Army marched up
Pennsylvania avenue and passed in re-
view before the president of the United
States. The parade came as a fitting
climax to one of the most historical
and successful reunions ever held by the
United Confederate veterans
1t was a source of qualification to
Georgians in Washington, of whom there
are hundreds resident and thousands Wis
iting, that the Cracker contingent of
veterans and sons of veterans was
numerically the strongest and best APP
pearing in the procession.
The Georgians marched behind the
Red Mems drum corps of Atlanta, and
were cheered to the echo as they passed
down the broad avenue. The president
and Mrs. Wilson Joined in the applause
as the Georgians passed before the re-
viewing stands.
The reunion will close with a bust
ness session this afternoon at which
General George P. Harrison. of Opelika,
Ala, probably will be reelected COM
mander-in-chief. 1t is probable the other
officers also will be reelected
GUESTS OF OFFICIALS.
The veterans and their friends will
be formally received by the secretary OF
state and members of the cabinet late
this afternoon at the Pan-American
building, and tonight Secretary Daniels
will entertain General Harrison at a
dinner aboard the presidents yacht, the
Mayflower.
The southern beauties who are here
as sponsors will be entertained at a
half dozen dances tonight and the older
genera ton of veterans will attend the
Sylvan theater, where government of
ficials will perform for their entertain
ment a spectacle, THE Continental Con-
gress"
Thousands of the veterans will take
the pilgrimage to Gettysburg tomorrow
TO participate in the unwilling of the
statue of General Robert E Lee, be-
loved hero of the Confederacy.
The day for the parade dawned gloom
lily. Low clouds threatened. Just be-
fore the bands began to play and the
men stood at attention the sun came
through and frightened the spirits and
the uniforms of those who marched.
But there was an ominous growing of
thunder as the men in khaki who will
soon fight in France swung up the ave-
nue..
The old rebels" in line felt that
Lee looked down in benediction upon
the scenes at the national capital today.
They felt that the spirit of the mag
unanimous Grant was there in the re-
viewing stand; that Sheridan and his
horse stood near the court of honor and
that the ghosts of Jackson. Forrest,
Stuart and Pickett were with their old
commands.
Bands played the old tunes and the
new. The music quickened the foot
steps of the aged men who passed.
Memories crowded one upon the other

AUTO DEATHS.-Every day we
find in some secluded spot of the Ex-
aminer that some child has been
killed by an auto truck-driver held
by police. Would you be kind enough
to state in your paper what is done
with these drivers? Is there no law
to protect people from the slaughter
of automobiles? Mrs. S. E. Rudolph,
Maryland Hotel.
Answer.-The law is enforced. A
truck driver was sentenced Wednes-
day for from one year to life because
his machine hit a street car and kill
ed a girl.
But the weight of an auto truck
makes it hard to handle in an emer-
gency. Because of this an ordinance
was passed in the city council at the
suggestion of Aid Otto Kerner,
which provided that every heavy
truck should be equipped with fen
der such as street cars have.
City engineers, after a number of
tests, proved that most killing acct
dents result from crushing the victim
under the wheels. They also found
that a fender would prevent this in
SO cases out of 100.
The law went into effect a month
ago, and Armour & Co., The Fair and
the Consumers Co. applied for an in
junction to prevent the police from
enforcing it. A high-class battery Of

RED TAPE
TABOO BY
LANDBANK
Cooper Home From Confer
ence with Directors, Ex-
pect to Use System.
ADOPT SIhPLIFIED METHOD
|St. Paul District Bank Board
Submits Forms TO Be-
Used in Work.

Red tape, which surrounds so much
governmental effort, will be eliminated
in the administration of the rural
credits act, in the opinion of Thomas
Cooper, director OF the North Dakota
experiment station.
Mr.. Cooper returned yesterday from
St Paul where he was called by the
board Of directors of the st. Paul dis
trict federal bank. He came home en-
thusiastic at the steps the board is
taking to simplify the operation Of the
farm loan system, and predicts the
adoption of a method of handling the
business that will make the farm land
bank a tremendous asset in the pro-
motion Of the farming industry in the
northwest.
81 was called to st. Paul to confer
with the board Of directors relative to
the federal rural credits act" said Mr..
Cooper today. "The experiment station
is one of the agencies engaged in the
promotion of the federal loan work.
II was much pleased with the way in
which the board is working out the
plan. It appears to me that the sys-
tenn proposed is so sfmplified that it
will permit all to take advantage OF it.
"It was said, Of course, when the
act was passed, that its administration
would be so tied up with red tape that
1t would be of little value to the farm
ers, but that impression certainly was
founded on false premises, judging
from the attitude Of the st. Paul land
district board.
Forms Of mortgages, of applica-
tions, ETC., have been prepared, and
are being perfected as rapidly as pos
sible. / believe the farmers soon win
have the opportunity OF taking advan-
tage Of the act"

FLAG POOR
SUBJECT ...
FOR JOKE
At Least for a German, Says
Judge Amidon, Sentenc-
ing Marmarth Man.
FIRST ALIEN CONVICTION
Threatened Stars a n d
Stripes, Witness Say
Gets 5 Day Jail Penalty.

Dick Hoeft, Marmarth, N. D., former
German artilleryman, and until re-
Gently a German reservist according
to his own admission on the stand in
the federal court here today, was SEN
fenced to five days in the Cass county
jail for threatening the American flag.
It is the first conviction in North Da-
kota under President Wilson's procla-
nation governing the action OF alien
enemies.
In imposing sentence, Judge Charles
F. Amidon, in the u. S. district court,
said that while there was no overt act
on Hoeft's part to carry out his threat
to tear down the flag, which he admit
ted on the stand he said he would
tear down should it be put up, and
while he may have said what he did
say as joke, 'the American flag is a
very poor subject for a German to
joke about at this time.
II am going to make an example Of
you, Mr.. Hoeft," said Judge Amidon,
mot only because you are guilty of
conduct that tends to violations OF the
public peace, one of the reasons for
the president issuing his proclamation,
but to warn others and to make them
careful in their conduct.
.-' Their Path Narrow.
Germans in this country have a
straight and narrow path to walk in
these times and they would be quiet,
law-abiding and even humble. 1t is the
duty Of Americans to treat Germans
kindly and courteously and refrain
from saying things that are likely to
bring about discussions :, -. = :, :.
There Were numerulls Illnesses, In
cluding Frank Gibbs, h5 DWARF deal
er, to whom Hoeft stated that he would
tear down a flag If Gibbs erected one
over his place of business; e. p. Mic
cum, proprietor of a barber shop and
pool room at Marmarth. and D. d. Gil
more, deputy sheriff, were called in by
the government. Hoeft and w. Wright
Scott, the latter q banker, were placed
on the stand by the defense.
Could "Get" 800 Soldiers.
The evidence brought out that Hoeft
had made the statement to Gibbs that
he would tear down the flag, which
Gibbs intended to erect, and that when
told in the pool hall that the soldiers
would get him when they came to
Marmarth to guard the bridge over the
Missouri, Hoeft had stated that If they
tried it he could get 300 Of them be-
fore they could get him.
The testimony of Hoeft on cross
brought out the fact that
he is, or was until recently, German
he had sent in his dis
charge papers to the German govern
ment to be vised and that he was put
on the reserve. He served two weeks
less than three years In the German ar
tillery, having entered the service in
1908.
