Atlanta, Ga, July 29.-Infirmi-
ties of age have weakened the
flesh, but not the mind of the last
two surviving generals who held
commissions in the confederate
army.
SiXty-one years ago battle
worn Officer rode up to the head
quarters of General Fitzpatrick,
union commander at Macon, Ga.
A group of young union army Of
ficers observed with some aston
ishment the figure in grey.
Robertson's Last Stand
"It's Felix" exclaimed one.
There was rush toward the con-
federate, with much handshaking
and warm greetings. He was Gen
eral Felix Huston Robertson.
1t was the end of the civil war.
The general, having disbanded his
command, had come formally to
surrender, and had fallen into the
hands of his former West Point
classmates. The comrades of school
days made up fund of $3.50 in
gold for the enemy officer. who
possessed nothing but saddlebag
full of worthless confederate mon
ey. and with this gift sent him on
his way.
McCausland Didn't Surrender
Shortly before this incident, in
a Virginia camp Fitzhugh Lee
dashed by, shouting? "Uncle Bobby
has surrendered" A confederate
leader turned to General milford,
whose command was ~ext to his.
Lets get out of here" he said,
and they did, making their way
to Lynchburg, Va, where they dis
banded their forces.
The general who evaded surren-
der was John McCausland.
Now, the two generals are
spending the closing years of their
lives in the retirement of their
homes, with memories Of the his
toric past to beguile their days.
General Robertson, at the age Of
Sc, lives at Waco, Tex, and Gen
eral McCausland, 80 years old, on
a farm near Charleston w. Va =

CAR FARE RAISE
To 10C SEEN

The 10-cent bus fare, approved by
the Public Utilities Commission YES.
terday. is the opening wedge for
lO-cent street car fares, in the
opinion of many of Washington's
unofficial utility experts.
William NICK. Clayton, chairman
OF the Public Utilities Committee of
the Federation of Citizens Associa.
tions, and long a power in local
public utility affairs. is firmly con.
WINGED that the next step will be
a demand from the street car com.
panies for a 10-cent fare.
Ever since the bus company asked
for the Decent fare last summer.
Clayton has fought it on the ground
that it was a forerunner of similar
demands by the car companies.
The car companies have alrea dy
notified the Public Utilities Com
mission that unless the use of one.
man cars is extended they will have
to ask for higher fares.
The commission is leaving the
one.man car question up to the
riding public, which seems to be
opposed to the further use of this
type of car in spite of the warn
ings from the car companies

LOWNAN LAUDS
POLICE HERE

Washington is the cleanest city,
where liquor is concerned, that I
have ever been in. The Metropoli-
tan Police. under Major Edwin B.
Hesse, cannot be too strongly com.
mended for the efficient work they
have done in keeping down the
whisky traffic"
This tribute to Washington and
the work of the police was paid
yesterday by Seymour Lowman,
successor to Gen. Lincoln c. An
drews, as Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury in charge of prohibition.
Mr.. Lowman has been in the city
several weeks. but will not officially
take over his new duties until
August /.
During the time have been
here" Mr.. Lowman said, II have
not seen a drunken man. ! am
really surprised at conditions here.
"In most large cities DRINKS are
rather common. Boisterous parties
in hotel rooms, apartments, and
public places are generally not un-
usual. Here, such conditions do not
seem to exist"
He said he thought the entire
credit should go to the police and
expressed the belief that they ARE
amply capable of handling the
liouor situation without any extra
help"
Mr.. Lowman said he wished to
correct the impression that he is
going after the small bootlegger
and hip flask toter to the exclusion
of those higher up"
His policy, he said will be to
clean out liquor wherever found.

Congress.
The valuation will be directed by
H. Carl Wolf. engineer of the
Maryland Public Service Corpora

Wolf, with nine assistants. will
assess the physical property. Bach
man, with four assistants. will go
over the books of the company for
the past II years to determine the
historical or cost value of the com
pany's property.
The two gas companies now are
valued at about $I7.000,O 900. They
asked for revaluation in January
1875. but the money was not avail
able until this spring. According
to the new law, there is about $50.
