CONFEDERATE FLAG
TO Be RETURNED.
Standard Located in Museum
at Boston Second Restored
to South.

Yet another picturesque standard
which for years has rested north of the
Potomac is to be restored to the people
who revere the Confederacy.
Mrs. George Stratford Barnes of 1414
Montague street announced today that
in museum in Boston, her native city,
she had located second old Confed-
crate flag. and that it would be given
over to the keeping of the people of
Atlanta, Ga. The standard was cap
tured when that citadel of the Con-
federacy fell before Gen. Sherman.
The flag is small, hand woven, and
of the first design-seven stars in a
blue field with three broad bars of red
and white. Records of the Honorable
Artillery Company of Boston show that
the flag was taken North by Gen. Sher-
man and presented by him to his friend
Joel Hills. George Hills, son, pre-
Sented the flag to the Honorable Ar
tillery Co. in 1900 and for 80 years it
remained in the company's museum.
Father With Federals.
Mrs Barnes father fought with the
Federal armies and was a member of
the Honorable Artillery Company. She
found in the attic of her home, with
her late fathers papers, receipt for
the flag land with other articles an oil
painting of the Ancient and Honorable
Company helmet, which had been
painted for her father in the '90s, pre-
Sumably for the armory.
Mrs. Barnes conveyed the knowledge
of her find to the commanding officer
of the company in Boston. She point
ed out that she had married South
ern man and would like to restore to
his people, whom she loved. the flag
of the COnfederacV In exchange she
would present to the armory the
painting.
Arrangements were made forthwith
to effect transfer. The company voted
unanimously to send the banner home.
The custodian of the museum, Col.
Willie Stover, past commander wrote
to Mrs. Barnes that he had felt 1t
pity that visitors from the South should
see the standard displayed among tro-
pfies of other wars, but that the keep
ing of the flag was a trust. Mrs. Barnes
offer enabled the company to obtain
release from that trust gracefully, he
wrote.
Hope TO Locate Owner.
Mrs. Barnes said she hoped that the
original owner of the flag could be To-
Gated through the Southern press.
Mrs. Barnes obtained another Con-
federate flag about two years ago from
the widow of Union Officer who was
present when Richmond fell. The flag
was one of the pieces cut from the
large flag which flew from the Capitol
building. Mrs. Barnes presented 1t to
her husband, DR.. George Barnes of
South Carolina.
Eventually the two flags are to go to
Richmond, the Confederate capital, and
Atlanta.

superintendent, to take a physical ex-
animation to qualify for an advance
ment which they will not get at this
time in the event of the failure of Con-
gress to pass the Districts 1881 appro-
priation bill.
Sixteen of the group are sergeants,
all of whom will be advanced to the
rank of eutenant If the deadlock on
the appropriation bill is broken and If
they pass the prescribed physical test.
The others are privates, l6 of whom
Will replace the sergeants who are pro-
NOTED.
New Posts Created.
The appropriation bill as approved
by both the House and Senate, creates
Is additional lieutenancies In the po-
lice force and adds 10 more members
to the personnel of the headquarters
detective bureau. If the bill fails 70
get out of conference, it will be impos-
sible to fill these positions, and the 40
men will have taken the medical ex-
animation needlessly. Maj. Pratt,
however, wants to have the men ready
for promotion July /, If the bill Is
passed.
The promotion of the 40 men is only
one step in Maj. Pratt's plan for re-
organization of the police force on
July /, the beginning of the new fiscal
year. Several score of other changes In
personnel are contemplated, but all are
dependent on the outcome Of the ap-
preparation bill.
20 Privates to Be Named.
The only definite arrangement made
by Maj Pratt is for the appointment
of 20 privateS to fill existing vacancies
caused by separations from the service,
deaths and retirementS. An appropria-
ton for their salaries is available and
will be in the new fiscal year under
a continuing appropriation which Con-
greSs will pass should the conferees
be unable to agree to the amendments
to the regular appropriation bill. The
department, however, has been unable
to fill these vacancies because of the
lack Of qualified candidates.
Applicants who took the last civil
service examination have not been fully
qualified About 20 of them have
passed the mental and physical tests,
but the character investigation, the final
step in establishing the eligibility of
the appointees, has not yet been COM
pleted.
Twenty Of these candidates will be
given positions as soon as their names
are placed on the civil service eligible
list. If the appropriation bill passes
with the Senate amendment providing
Is additional privates, nearly all OF the
remaining candidates on the eligible
list will be appointed.

Body to Further District Repre-
ssntatiOn Complies
With Law.

The Junior Citizens Alliance, a local
organization, which has for one of its
objectives Ito disseminate information
cncerning, and to further the cause of,
ational representation for the District
of Columbia" yesterday became a cor
porate body under the laws of the Dis
trict

ance are Ito promote and increase
friendship of members to instruct them
in the arts. of music, public speaking
and drama,
provisional president of the alliance;
Jesse c. Suter, vice chairman of the
Citizens point committee on national
representation; Richard P. Schulze,
Jennie o. Berliner and John D. Fitz-
gerald, local attorneys.
The term Of Incorporation was speci-
ned as being eight months. The reason
for not making the organization per-
petual, it was explained, was to enable
members of the alliance to vote upon
the desirability of incorporation at the
next regular meeting of the alliance,
which is to be held some time in the
Fall.
If the act of the incorporators is
ratified by the members in open meet
ing, the charter will be amended so as
to grant the organization perpetual life
If it is not ratified, the charter will
expire automatically at the end of the
specified period.
The incorporators gave as their rea-
son for taking this step the fact that
the Junior Citizens Alliance is now
about to become actively engaged in
amateur dramatic work, and is also
conducting $500 prize essay contest
in which members are invited to par
ticipate. 1t also is expected shortly to
commence a series of classes in polit-
ical study and to organize a profess
sionally trained brass band and dance
orchestra.
