SWEEPING PROBE IS
STARTED By JURY
Into Every Act of Alien
Custodian
TO ESTABLISH LEGALITY
American interests in Dye Patents to
BE Protected, Says
Daugherty

Washington, July 11.-Appearance
today Of Francis p. Garvan, former
alien property custodian and now head
fthc Chemical Foundation, Inc, be-
fore the special war frauds grand
jury was said in official circles to
have inauguratcd sweeping inquiry
INTO every act of the custodian's Office
from it's inception.
1T was emphasized by the same
officials that the investigation was
designed primarily to establish f.
nally the legality of the custodian's
acts and to remove any ground for
continued criticism levelled against
the office if such criticism has
been unjustifcd.
A grand jury investigation was
declared by the officials to BE- the
only method provided for in the
American system of government to
clear up definitely the controversy.
Formal assurance that "every
American interest" in the dye pat
ents sold by the alien property
~"o'ouie'il III 1o1J 10 tnc CheNll-
cal Foundation, will be protected
by the government was made today
by Attorney General Daugherty.
Denying that any person connect
ed with the Department of Justice
had had any communication with
German interests or individuals re-
gardlng recovery of the patents,
Mr.. Daugherty's statement reiter
ated that in moving to recover
them from the foundation the de-
partment was merely carrying out
instructions received from Presi-
dent Harding.
The statement was interpreted
as having reference to charges
made by Francis p. Garvan-who
handled the sale as the then Gus
todian, subsequently assuming the
presidency of the foudation-to
the effect that the demand for re-
turn of title to the patents had
been actuated by German influence.
Mr.. Garvan today turned over to
the jury the records of the foun
datlon. He said later arrangements
had been made to permit inspec-
tion of the books by representa-
tIves of the Department of JUS
tice.
Prior to going before the grand
jury, Mr.. Garvan said, he had re-
fused a demand Of Assistant Attor-
ncy General Grim for permission to
inspect the books on the ground
that he would not open them to
Gcrmanic influences"
Attorney General Daugherty.

Richmond, Va.-Reliving in memory
Of the hopes and fears of 81 and '65,
Richmond opened wide her gates and
with love and admiration welcomed
the surviving band Of gray-coated men,
who by their valor made immortal the
armies of Lee and Jackson.
Hundreds who rallied about the brill
liant Stewart, who charged with the
gallant Forrest, some who trailed with
the dashing Mosby; others who were
the gray's seamen, men who drew their
sabres, shouldered muskets and can
noned under the leadership Of famous
southern chieftains, are assembled
here for the thirty-second annual re-
union of the United Confederate Vet
Grams.
From the green hills OF Maryland
and the purple valleys of Virginia, from
the yellow sands OF Texas plains. from
the gulf waters and even from the
shores of the far Pacific they have
come together again to worship at the
shrine of an unforgotten cause, in that
city that once was their beloved capt.
tai and the heart of an ever-to-be-re-
membered Confederacy.
The silent woods and fields in and
about the historic city. which once
were loud with strife, today are alive
with the voices of this fast thinning
band Slow treadinP. bent with age
md touched to gray by the hand Of
| time, some so feeble they cannot walk,
others with eyes SO dim they can bare
| " see, their diminishing ranks now
numbering not more than 1000, are re.
uniting and living again in comrade-
ship and ties hallowed by sacred recol-
! lections. That gallant army of 100000
men that followed the Stars and Bars
SO years ago has lessened and less.
ened in numbers with the passing
years until their ranks have became
rs elusive as far sea-line dimly PEN
ciled on the sky of the present.
/ With the old soldiers. their families
and friends, it is estimated that Rich
mond is host to approximately 30 900
visitors The grizzled veterans are be-
| Ing quartered in Richmond homes,
where every attention and loving care
! Is being extended. Younger visitors
are being lodged in hotels and public
/ buildings. In the latter hundreds of
army cots, loaned by the war depart
ment, have been provided.
The programme of reunion week
opened with the annual convention of
the Confederate Memorial association,
followed by the opening of yearly ses-
sions of the Sons of Confederate Vet.

sponsors, maids of honor and chap
erons will be presented by Senator Pat

Panthers Meet Seuanee
 Tigers Here on Tuesday
Third Game of Series to Be Played at Munger Field. SeWanee to Make Its Initial Appearance of Year on the Local Diamond
B, HORACE RENEGAR

The Birmingham Southern college Panthers and the Sewanee Tigers meet in the third and deciding game of their three-game series in Munger bowl Tuesday afternoon at o'clock. Two games were played at Sewanee recently, each team winning one.
 The Panthers are confident of talk ing the series from the invading Ten nesseans, although they know that the Purple Tigers are coming deter mined to win the game. The Pan thers will work out tomorrow for the first time since their victory over the Howard Bulldogs last Friday.
 In the Bulldog game. the Panther team fielded we'll, and also hit the acre of the East Lake pitching staff hard TheiA blows were all timely licks, and counted much in the win ming of the game.
 "Babe. May Start
 It is probable that Coach Brown will start his left-hander, Babe Graham, against the visitors Tuesday. Graham was the pitcher who twirled the team to victory in the first game of the series in Sewanee some time ago. There is a possibility however, that f'Feedem" Oates will work against the Tigers, following Oates clear cut victory over Howard last Friday. in which he let them down with seven widely scattered bingles.
 The Panther infield seems to be growing more certain in it's fielding of the ball, especially on second base and first Miller is handling the sec ond base chances like a veteran key stoner. while Stuart looks much bet ter on the initial bag. On short and second, the rats" are handling the places in good style. June" Ander- son has really been one of the flashes of college baseball during the season. and Anderson continues to field the ball in classy fashion. Englebert has also filled in well at third base during the season, and has been hitting a t good clip.
 OutffeId Is Q. K.
 The outfield has been a big cog in the team all the time, as Coach Brown started the season with well ball anced set of gardeners with the ex- ception of right field. Jim Rogers. however, has been fielding the ball on a par with the two veterans.
 Mike" Norton and Bob Rowe have been fielding in a style that is un- usually creditable to college players and both have been hitting at a hard pace. Norton and Rowe both have been making extra base drives their speciality.
