GETTYSBURG AGAIN
 SEES GRAY FORCES
Pickett's Charge Re-enacted on Historical Battlefield by Marines

Gettysburg. June 2o.--In a broiling
 sun this morning and a drenchinG
 rain yesterday afternoon, United
 States Marines at Camp Harding went
 through maneuvers on Gettysburg's
 historic plains that represented the third day of the battle in July. 1863
 Stimulating as much as possible the
 uniform of the Confederate army, the advancing columns discarded their regulation leggings. cooked their cam
 paign hats with a deep crease in the center. pulled up their socks over their full-length trousers and bore aloft banners of the southern grey.
 It was new experience for veter- ans of overseas service to be ordered to attack in close formation. Instead of running. and lying fiat to fire, jumping up and making another short advance and going through another firing operation. the marines march ed forward at right shoulder arms, close together as in dress parade. Bayonets were fixed, but there was no firing. Across the mile wide expanse over which Pickett and his men ad- vanced, these modern soldiers march ed following methods almost three score years old. But it was all in preparation for the exact duplication of the charge which is to be repro duced here next Monday.
 Even the hand-to- hand conflict at the stone wall at Bloody Angle was rehearsed. No detail was omitted Observers familiar with the story of the battle of Gettysburg in all its parts pronounced the attack an ad- mirable exhibition of civil war tactics.
 But while one regiment was engag- ed in this maneuver another was training just as vigorously under con ditions of modern warfare. They were given the first days field and an inn aginary force, discovered not far from the point west of Gettysburg, where the first shot of the battle of 1863 was fired, gave the keynote of the problem they were to solve. This was the first of series of maneuv- out the tour of duty here. progress ing to the final consummation in the battles in which all of the Marine force encamped here will take part.
 Representatives of five foreign na- lions arrived at camp today and will be special guests of honor until July Fourth. They are here to observe he maneuvers and the general con- luct of the encampment. They in dude Lieutenant Diogenes Mordes, Naval Attache; Capt. H. l ache; Capt. E. A. Varona, Cuban Attache; Dr. J. B. Hubrecht, l secretary to the Netherlands Lega- ion, and Major Cassimer Maach, Pol sh Military Attache.

PRESIDENT DROPS
 EFFICIENCY IDEA
Pigeonholes Report on R@rean.
 iZation of Depts.

Washington, June 29.-President Harding has quietly pigeonholed the scheme to reorganize the executive branch of the Government, which in- cluded the consolidation of the War and Navy Departments. the creation af department of public welfare and the transfer of Prohibition enforce ment to the Department Of Justice.
 Persons in a position to judge the Presidents intentions think no recom- mendation ever will be made to Con- gress on the Walter r. Brown report, which was presented to the White House several months ago.
 Mir. Brown spent virtually a year going over details of the proposed organization, part of the ground al- ready having been covered by the Presidents physician. Btig. Gen. c. E. Sawyer, who was interested in the establishment of the Public Welfare Department.
 Submission of the Brown report was followed by White House con ference with members of the joint committee of Congress, after which hope was expressed that the legisla- ton necessary to carry out the re- forms could be put through before congress adjourned. The conference was followed by intimations that the Cabinet could not agree on a pro- gram and rumors that the pushing of the scheme might lead to one or two resignations.
 Administration circles held today that while many of the reorganiza- tion projects were highly desira ble. for business efficiency. the matter of personal desire becomes so much in- volved that reorganization is difficult. MT. Browns path was strewn with thorns. but the majo dispute ragged over the proposed transfer of the for est service from the Department of Agriculture to the Department of the Interior and the transfer of Prohibit tion, which was opposed by the "drys"
 In addition 1t was asserted that some of the suggestions such as the consolidation of the War and Navy while possible advisa- ble were of such nature that rejoic- ton was positive before they could reach Congress.

WANTS NEW TRIAL
West Virginia Minister Accused of Murder Alleges Animus in Jury on Verdict.

Charlstown, W. Va, June 29,( By
 Associated Press).-Judge J. M
 Woods announced in circuit court
 here yesterday that he would give his
 decision on August ' on the motion of the Rev. J. E. Wilburn of Blair for new trial. Wilburn was con- victed of second degree murder in connection with the killing of Deputy Sheriff John Gore of Logan county during the march of miners late last summer.
 fense presented an affidavit, signed by J. F. Mason and A. B. Grubb, and charging that J. B. Kemp. a juror in the case, said before the trial began that the miners would not get their dues until every one of them was hanged" The state entered an affi- davit. signed by Kemp, in which he declared that he made no such re- mark. The defense attacked certain the trial, contending that it should not have reached the jury.
 State attorneys said they would notify the defense within ten days which of the remaining cases growing out of the march will be called for trial on August z, when court recon venes. They indicated that it would be that of John Wilburn, indicted for killing Gore, or c. F. Keene, presi- dent of District IT, United Mine Workers, who is charged with treason.
 Judge Wood refused the motion of the defense to release on bail seven men who are charged with murder, treason or conspiracy. Prosecuting Attorney John Chain of Logan told the court that when the cases were transferred from that county to rharlestown, on change of venue, attorneys for both sides had agreed that bail would not be asked for these defendants.

 tions for averting strike were i'm possible
 Conference Likely.
 On the other hand conference be tween railroad executives and unior leaders was declared possible. not SC much in any hope of reaching ar agreement but as vehicle for carrS- ing the disputes immediately to the labor board which saved the nation from rail strike last October. By the formality of an announcement that the roads and unions could reach no agreement, the labor board, it was pointed out, could take jurisdiction as it did in the threatened strike of the big four brotherhoods last fall.
 Another possibility was . that the board could similarly assume jurisdic- tion over situations growing out of an actual strike on the grounds that the strike would interrupt commerce.
 Text of Strike Order.
 The strike order said to have been issued under the signature of J. M. Kline, president of the international brotherhood of blacksmiths, drop forgers and helpers follows:
 Tn compliance with the strike vote, shop craft employees below the ranks of general foremen are hereby grant ed sanction to suspend work at 10 a. m July 1 on all railroads and pull man shops in the United States.
