HARDING PRAISES
SOUTHERN DEAD

Washington, June 4.-The presi-
dent of the United States, himself the
son of Union veteran, joined with
gray clad, gray haired veterans of
the Confederacy who stood with
bowed heads at the graves of their
comrades in the Lost Cause" today
in Arlington cemetery to pay their
annual tribute of love and remem-
brance to those who had gone on the
last long march.
Standing beneath the dropping
folds of the Stars and Bars, Pres-
dent Harding uttered prayer of
gratitude for reunited nation whose
foundations, he said, had been ce-
mented by the blood Of Confederate
and Federal alike.
Mr.. Harding spoke extemporan-
eously and his appearance on the ros-
trum of the open air amphitheatre
was a surprise to the crowd.
To the sons and daughters of vet
Grams, Mr.. Harding added word of
tribute.
fought in the Union cause" he said,
II want to saythat have only graft
tude, commentator and the sincerest
tribute man can utter for their sons
and daughters who have lived in the
great aftermath and ably assisted in
turning disunion into union, turning
discord into concord and reclaiming
for posterity all those things so es-
sential to the welfare Of this republic.
There comes to my mind such names
as dear old Joe Wheeler whom l saw
go to the front to defend his country,
and Fitzhugh Lee, who headed the
first troops that entered Habana in
the Spanish sh-American war. And in
hat conflict let me say that we of
America were brought into complete
accord.
President Harding did not hesitate
to laud the couprage of the men
who fought for the Confederacy, de-
claring, although he cautioned, that
while he did not mean to say that the
Confederacy was right, 81 am glad to
say to you that believe you thought
it was right"
Applause that was little less than
an ovation greeted the president at
the conclusion of his address.
The address of Judge Edgar Scurry
Of Wichita -Falls,-4Texas, commander
in-chief of the Sons of Confederate
Veterans, held a renewal of the
pledge of fealty to the Union of the
veterans and the Sons of the Confed-
eracy. Addressing the president, he
declared:
II bring. you a message from the
Sons of the Confederacy, to you as
he son of brave Union soldier, that
the time has passed for bitterness
The time has come when every Am
erican's great deeds should become
he heritage of other Americans, no
matter in what cause they perform

WOMAN SLAYER
MAY RECOVER

Kansas City, Mo-, June 4.--Pegey
Marie Beal, nurse of Springfield, H.,
and Dayton, Ohio, who yesterday at
tempted suicide after shooting and
killing Frank Warren Anderson, war
veteran and department store welfare
director, because he could not marry
her, will get well, doctors at the city
hospital believe.
The young woman. told today that
she stood good chance to recover

not sorry / shot him." she gasped.
"He deserved It. l did right to shoot
HIM. should have killed him before
Hd."
At Miss Beal's request, visitors were
barred from her room today. Physi-
clans tonight said that in spite of a
bullet through her lung, Miss Bcal's
chances of recovery are good and that
her condition has improved.
Meanwhile Andersen, whose body
Collingswood, n. j., was not without
visitors. Women came to see the
body of the man, declared by Miss
Beal to have been "the perfect lover"
the man who, according to the girl,
Eoasted to her of his conquests, told
her so women loved him and declared:
peg, Pm devil. l love no wo-
man."
A possible echo of another romance
was seen by the police today in the
story of a woman who called by tele-
phone to the hotel, where Anderson
and Miss Beal had lived as man and
wife. This telephone call came the
night after tn" tragedy and the wo-
man asked for "Mr. and Mrs. Ander-
son." The hotel clerk told her what
had happened, and the woman scream
ed
"Dead?" she cried. "Oh, no.
can't believe it.
She asked where the body had been
taken, and today a woman about 80
years of age, who refused to give her
name, asked to see the body. She
said she had been a friend of the dead
man and had known him in depart
ment store welfare work, she said.
She was permitted to see the body,
gazed at it long time and shud-
dered.
How could 'she." she exsiainsl n n
"What devils women are!"
Then she left.
Letters from Andcrson's father in
Collingswood, n. j., found after his
death, spoke of woman, referred t.
as "B," who might be following the
young man.

First Baptist Church Revival

There were four great services yes
terday, at the Sunday school hour, at
11:15 a. M, at a p. M. and at 8 p. m.
All of these services were largely at
tended and full of interest. The SER
vice this morning was "Say Soo
meeting and stressed the idea of ex-
pressing gratitude to God and appre-
citation to our fellow men. No SER
vice. yet held has been more tender
and powerful than was this morning
service. s'a'g,s'
DR.. Walker has impressed the coma
munity as favorably, perhaps, as has
any man that has ever been here. He
is fearless and outspoken in denounc-
ing sin. He "calls a spade spade,'
and yet, withal, is tender, winsome
and attractive. His is indeed happy
combination for minister.
The services will likely come to a
close on Thursday morning. These
lastttwo or three days of the meeting
will perhaps be the richest and best
of all. The public is invited to attend
all of the services.

WARRANT ISSUED
In FRAUD CASE

Washington, June A warrant
has been issued by the United States
Commissioner Hit for the arrest of
j. l.. Phillips, chairman of the Re-
publican national state committee for
Georgia, charging fraud in the execu-
ton OF war contracts. Beyond con-
firming reports that the warrant had
been issued, Commissioner Hit, re-
fused tonight to discuss the case.
Phillips, as a member of the firm
of Phillips & Stevens, obtained a
contract soon after the armistice
from the government to dispose of
surplus lumber left from cantonment
and camp construction and other war
building developments, the firm hav-
ing been designated by conference
of lumber dealers to act as their
agent.
Representative Woodruff (Republi-
CAM of Michigan in speech recent.
ly in the house asserted that officia'
reports had been filed by government
auditors in September, 1921, showing
that Phillips e. Stevens still owed the
government under this contract more
than $1,S5O,000, and that so far as he
could learn mo proceedings whateve,

ton"
Although it had been generally re-
ported during the first week that the
special grand jury now sitting here
on war fraud cases had been engaged
in consideration Of evidence dealing
with contracts for sale of surplus
lumber, there had been no statement
from any official source to indicate
whether the Phillips & Stevens con-
tract had been among those pre-
Sented.
So far as could be learned the
grand jury has yet to hand down its
first Indictment and issuance of 3
warrant prior to indictment was de-,
clared by some officials to be an un-
usual, though not unprecedented
procedure.
The lumber contract obtained by
Phillips e. Stevens called for disposa'
of spruce, pine, hemlock and fir lum
