Fifty-siX years ago this confident an

proclamation of patriotism and peace.
Campad at last in their country S

between the Washington Monument
and the portico of the presidents home,
these battered and decrepit veterans Of
Johnson and Lee-will have conquered
at last the hearts Of Washington, and
achieved in peace what they failed to
accomplish at the point of their bayo-
nets in war.
Never before have the Confederate
veterans held re lnion in their coun-
try's capital. They have met for
twenty-seven years in every Southern
city, holding their last reunion, but one
in Richmond-the capital of the old
Confederacy-amid the glad hands and
the reminiscent tears of that great Old
Virginia breed that made them well
come there.
They cross the Potomac in June-for
the first time-the twenty-seventh re-
union of the United Confederate Vet

of the Sons of Veterans-and come to
hold their greatest and perhaps their
last assembly-in Washington-the cap

American citizens who for years
looked grimly from the Virginia hills
upon the stately dome of our house up
on the hill, have never before linked
these faded Stars. and Bars in loving
fellowship with the ''Star-Spangled

What glorious reunion it will be
for these ''old Confeds!" How rich is
memory-how inspiring in suggestion.

STANDARD TIME MOVEMENT
 IS POPULAR WITH PEOPLE.

On account of there being some question as to whether standard time would be formally adopted here May 1, there was a variance of an hour in many of the clocks this morning. Although practically every resident of the town favors going back to the old time for the summer months, it is not thought advisable to make the change until the railroad company has done so. However, the bank, public schools. telephone central, all of the hotels and most of the other places of business had arranged to set their clocks back an hour. and many of them did so, but have decided to wait day or two un- til the matter is amicably arranged and all timepieces are uniform. The cable office has always maintained the old time.

WOMAN ON TRIAL AS BOMB
 THR0WER
(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, May l. - Mrs. Rena Mooney, teacher of music, went on trial in the superior court here charged with bomb murders for which her husband, Thomas J. Mooney, has been sentenced to hang on May r. She is the third of five alleged con spirators to be tried for the murder of ten persons who lost their lives in bomb explosion during a prepared ness parade here last July.

A week ago Captain Dun can Matheson, of the San Francisco police detectives, who, as head of the bomb bureau, gathered much of the evidence against the Moneys, asked District Attorney Fickert to quash the indictment against Nolan, because of lack of evidence. Captain Matheson said he protested against Nolan's ar rest at the beginning. Nolan has been in jail nine months.
 Since Moneys conviction the de- fense has made an out of court fight against the states chief witness, Frank c. OXman, Durkee, Oregon, cattleman, who testified he saw the defendants drive up in Weinberg s automobile to the corner. and plant suitcase there. The states theory was that the bomb exploded in suit. case, while the defense, led by w Bourke Cochran, of New York, conten ded the bomb was hurled from a roof The defense published in the news papers about week ago letters bear ing Oxman's signature, and sent tC man in the middle west, asking him to give alleged false testimony.

IMPERIAL T0MbS DESPO|LED FUR
 ROBBERY

TOXIC, Japan, May 1.-Desecration and despoilment of imperial tombs near Nara for purposes of robbery has led to the discovery that other ancient tombs scattered through different parts of Yamashiro province have been broken open and contents of value re- moved.
 The treasures disinterred from the tombs of members of the imperial fam fly who reigned both before and after Christ include objects of rare and non- appraisable value. Some of the jewels and ancient mirrors are said to date back as far as 2,000 years. Among articles stolen were several ancient necklaces and a number of old metal mirrors, containing 50 per cent gold with exquisite antique designs on the back. Another curious relic was 6 stone pillow used in the earliest epoch of Japanese history.

The Americans were received at the pal ace by the president, and entertained at a luncheon over which Miss Ii, the daughter of the president, presided as hostess.
 The Picking Chamber of Commerce acted as host to the Americans in Picking, entertained them at a num- Der of dinners and luncheons, and con ducted the visitors to all the historis points of interest about the Chinese capital.
 When the delegation visited l'resi- dent Li Yuan Hung at the palace, he delivered an address to them, in which he expressed the hope that American capital would come to China freely, and develop the latent resources which offer such great returns if properly managed. President Lii Yuan Hung said the United States and China, standing at opposite sides of the Pa cific, were two great powers in which the people were truly sovereign.

SUFFER LEAST FROM
 WAR
[By Associated Pressl

MADRID, May 1. - While most of Europe is at war. Spain. detached, neu- tral and far removed from the actual fighting, Is putting her house in order for the period of reconstruction and revival which will follow the war. 1t is recognized that the fighting nations. comprising virtually all of western and central Europe, will be heavily bur dened if not prostrate, financially and in many other ways, for a generation or more after the war This is true also of most of the neutral European nations, located in the midst of the fighting, like Switzerland, Holland, Denmark and Greece, which, though neutral, are so near the area of dis turbance that they share many of its burdens.
 Spain is the one European country so far removed geographically from the conflict that she feels little or no direct effect from the war. Life in the cities and the interior goes on as usual, with little or no change in in dustry, production, labor. finance abd all the other branches which are be- ing drained to the limit by the need of fighting men and supplies in the countries at war. The submarine scare looked threatening for a time, but this has almost passed, for Span ish industries are getting the coal it needs to keep the wheels in motion, and Spanish exports which fear the risks of ocean transport are getting out new land routes eastward to France, and thence across the channel | to England.
