MEN IN GRAY
 IN SESSION AT
 CARNIVALCITY
Confederate Veterans in Annual Convention
 at Orleans

NEW ORLEANS, April 12. - All trains for this city yesterday were crowded with thousands of gray clad veterans of the Civil War who fought under the banner of Jefferson Davis in the dark days of '61 to '64. They came to attend the annual convention of the Confederate Veterans and the city is gaily decorated in their honor. The Women's Auxiliary of the organ ization is meeting here at the same time and the fair sex is present in numbers almost equal to the veterans. Among the speakers at the opening ceremonies today was National Com mander Owsley of the American Le- zion. Commander Owsley devoted a large share of his remarks to the Vet crans' Bureau of the Government and spoke caustically of the mismanage- ment which had characterized it's con- duct from the beginning. He charged that selfish politicians had exploited the veterans through the bureau in a flagrantly corrupt manner and, declar- ing that such condition must be ended, he said, "The American people will no longer tolerate the political ineffi- ciency in this bureau"
