COLORFUL CIVIL VAR ROMANCE
ENDS IN DEATH OF WOMAN At 81
Mrs. Bette Van Metre
Sdued NOrtherner,
WOn SOuth's Hate.
Later Received Honor
From Vermont for
Heroic Action.

The last chapter of romance that
had its inception in the closing days of
| the Civil War story of how Virginia
| belle faced bitter criticism and virtual
ostracization before she would desert a
wounded Yankee lieutenant who had
been left in an abandoned farmhouse to
die of starvation. was written in Berry
vile, Va, last week. when the heroine
died at the age of 81.
She was Mrs. Bette Van Metre, a
member Of an old Southern family whose
sons fell In the service Of Robert f. Lee.
Her act Of mercy, always unrecognized
by her friends In the South. was final
ly rewarded by the State Of Vermont in
whose legions the young Lieutenant was
hghtng when he was shot down. Since
then Mrs. Van Metres heroism has be-
come the inspiration for several works
OF literature by prominent authors.
Slave Brought Wood.
Mrs. Van Metre was scarcely 20
years old and bride of few months
when the incident that the later to
surround her with glory occurred. She
was living on her husbands planta-
ton near Berryyille when a faithful
old slave, who had refused to accept
emanci patton, crept into her room one
day and whispered that "dar was
Yankee ossifer erdyin' fer want O.
water an bread in de mex plantation"
Accompanied by her faithful family
retainer. she drove to the farm, which
had been deserted when its owners
hurried to the aid of the Confederacy,
and found Lieut. Henry Z. Bedwell of
the 18th Vermont Light Infantry on
the verge of an agonizing death,
locked In q barren chamber on the
top floor of the crumbling homestead
Only few months before her own
brother had died before the Northern
guns at Gettysburg and her husband
and another brother had been sent
to Fort Delaware in captivity. Brush
ing aside the grief the war had
brought into her own home, she had
called In her family physician to at
tend the man.
Defied Many Dangers.
For two weeks the young Southern
girl nursed the Yankee officer night
and day. Often she had to ride 20
miles to Harpers Ferry through dan
gerous country for medicine and sur
gical dressings. Finally she was re-
warded by seeing the enemy lieuten-
ant recover to the point where he
could begin his journey back home
Fearing he would be captured and
killed by the guerillas, she smuggled
him out of the Confederate lines
herself.
Upon reaching Washington. Lieut..
Bedell told Secretary of War Stanton
OF how his life had been saved by the
young girl and as reward her
husband and brother were ordered
released from prison Immediately.
She and her husband then accompan-
led Lieut.. Bedell to his home in Yer
mont and remained there until the
close Of the war, when she returned
to her own plantation TO face virtual
ostracism for years
Ten years ago the Legislature of
Vermont passed a resolution thank
ing Mrs. Van Metre for her coura-
geous efforts to save the life of a
Vermont officer. She was given a

B|G THREE AGREE
 ON COACHES PAY
Report, Is That Grid Salary Will
 BeLimited to &,O00

New Haven, Feb. 25.--Athletic au- ' thorities at Yale were not prepared today to discuss details of the an- ' nounced agreement between the "big three," Yale, Harvard and Princeton, to limit the salaries of coaches in the athletic budgets. Reports in Boston dispatch last night that salary lim- 1t of ss,O00 for football coaches had been agreed upon, effective in Sep tember, 1926, were, howeyergenera ly credited at Yale following the an- 7 nouncement at the Yale alumni 7 luncheon Monday by Prof. c. W. Wendell, chairman of Yale's athletic board of control, that such an ar- rangement had been entered into. It was understood that announcement of the details of the agreement awaited their final acceptance by the athletic authorities of the "big Ihree."
 According to the announcement from Boston the athletic authorities in fixing the salary limit had been guided by the maximum salary limit for full professors at Harvard and Yale, which is sS,000 and that no alumni bonuses to the coaches will be sanctioned. It was also stated that tacit agreement has been reached by which football budgets and expenditures in other branches of sport would be limited.
 X Prof. MendelPs announcement stated that limitation of salaries of coaches in athletics had been agreed upon the object being to eliminate . the possibility of "cut throat compe- atition or wild expense" In employ ment of coaches for major sports, -the agreement, Prof. Wendell said, had been proposed by Yale and agreed to, by Harvard and Princeton. It was understood at Yale that the agreement referred to was general in character and that details were being worked out by correspondence be- tween the athletic heads of the three universities. E.l
