Our soldiers treated them with every possible consideration and usually they were as decent as could be ex- pected. However, we met an excep- ton once in Norfolk, Virginia. It was in 1863. My regiment and others were camped in Norfolk waiting for transportation. One morning an officer was drilling a company of re- cruits on public street directly in front of doctors office and resi- dence. The doctors name was Wright-Dr. Wright. He was past middle age. Evidently he had been watching the drilling and had a brain-storm, for he came out of his office with concealed revolver, walked deliberately up to the officer and shot him dead. He was taken into custody, but by some stratagem escaped-only to be soon recaptured disguised in women's clothes. He was promptly court-martialed and sentenced to death on the gallows.
 "The civilian population was con- siderably exercised about this and tried to get the sentence changed from a rope to a firing squad without avail. So the preparations for the hanging proceeded prompt ly. As there had been threats of in- reference by the townsfolks, an un- usually strong military guard was placed in a circle around the gal- lows. My company was part of that guard so we had closeup view of the whole proceeding.
 Incidentally, before I went to the hanging that morning, bought several lemons and squeezed the juice into my canteen, and filled it up with water. So was anticipat- ing many refreshing swigs of lem onade that day. I was husky trooper of 19 at that time and lem onade was the strongest beverage I indulged myself in. So the contents of that canteen was very valuable to me on that memorable day.
 "Tt is curious that 2 person &C.,
 customed to witness death in one
 form even though terrible one
 with steady nerves, may get
 squeamish and go all to pieces on
 witnessing some other form of
 death. That is exactly what hap
 pened at the hanging of Dr.
 Wright, and resulted in the total
 loss to me of my cherished Tenn
 onade.' Not that I got squeamish,
 but that a captain, who stood
 next to me, did. He turned white as 8 ghost, was taken by faint
 ness and nausea and grabbing me
 by the shoulders to keep from
 falling-gasped, Let me take your
 canteen.' Like the good Samari-
 tan, I handed 1t to him - and
 when he handed it back it was
 empty"
 MT. Porter gave more details about the hanging of Dr. Wright. He said that before the execution

STORY COCKEYED.
 SAYS PRESIDENT.
Will Not Insist Slash of $l5O,OOO, ,OOO From Re-
 lief Be Returned
BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Stan Correspondent


 Washington. March 8.-(UP).- President Roosevelt, who sharply re- minded congress on Feb. 2 that he needed an additional $150, 100000 for unemployment relief, now says re- ports that he would insist on the appropriation are cockeyed.
 MT. Roosevelt surprised upwards of 200 reporters with that remark at yesterdays press conference, his congressional leaders confided this week that the president had in- timated during their rgeular con- ference with him that he would re- iterate his relief request in a mes- sage to congress scheduled to go forward next Monday.
 Congressional members of the con- Servative economy group were plan- ming to make the $150,000, 900 appro- priation test vote in their effort to cut government costs. MT. Roose- velt's position now, however, is that he will not know until receiving further reports from WPA how much additional money will be needed.
 May Ask Any Sum
 His relief message might request any sum of money from $150,OOO, 900 down, he said. The consensus was that he would ask for additional funds, and probably the entire sum.
 But business observers here are wagging their ears for some word of further appeasement or rapproch- ment from the White House. Their first reaction to his denial that an- other big relief appropriation had been decided upon was that the president might contemplate at least that much cooperation with the economy group in congress.
 If that is the case, the economy movement will have demonstrated unlocked for effectiveness. One month ago there was no doubt in MT. Roosevelt's mind about the necessity for the full relief appropriation he had asked congress to provide against unemployment needs during February, March, April, May and June. He objected to hte $50 000,- 900 cut imposed by congress and in a protesting message informed the legislators that:
 Why He Gave Approval
 q would have withheld my ap- proval of this legislation, and I would have immediately asked for a larger sum if it had not been for the provision that there shall not be a reduction of more than five per cent of the number of employees on wroks progress projects prior t April 1, 1899. I recommend to the congress immediate consideration of legisla- tion providing to be available in the balance of the current fiscal year."
 Failure to force that issue would be a major psychological contribu- tions to the congressional econoym drive although the newt saving would be relatively small.
 Conciliatory To Business
 With the exception of press conference assurance that he knew nothing of any plan for withdrawal

the doctor made a statement from the scaffold, expressing regret that he had killed the officer, attribut- ing his murderous action to his failure to control his own nasty temper, and his last words. address, ed to the crowd of spectators, were: Don't do as I did-Control your temp" And before the word was finished his body was dangling in the air. wildly described MT. Por- ter. Tt was a hideous sight and caused groans of horror from the townspeople. But the thing that upset Capt. Thomas Sheffield's stomach and made him call for my canteen was the way the doctors neck stretched out. It seemed as though twas made of rubber. It must have stretched fully a yard {; but that didn't justify the captain in drinking up every drop of my lemonade"
 I have related the above story just as the old soldier told 1t to me seventy-f1ve years af- ter the occurrence. He had had no time to think it over for it was the prompt answer to my question, and illustrates the amazing quality of his memory. Names, scenes, every trif1ing incident-came back to him in vivid pictures. He often said, q can see it as plain as though it happened yesterday"
 It was so in his descriptions of the battles of South Mountain and Antietam and the many others. It was so, too, in his recollections of his childhood. Of his first day in school, on Bucks Hill, he remem- bered the names of every one of the 30 scholars, boys and girls; and of his infancy he told. with a chuckle, of the mean trick an ele- phant played on him when he was three years old, and his astonish- ment when his mother took him to see the first railroad train come to Waterbury, hissing and snorting and belching clouds of smoke-rush- ing and roaring at the frightful speed of 10 miles an hour.
 Wales Porter loved children. He
 was so pleased by the visit of the
 high school students, who spent
 two hours with him exactly a
 month before he died. He told me
 the day after, 'T was proud of
 them; they looked mighty good
 to me- He was planning, to have
 big children's party in his yard
 as soon as the grass and the leaves
 and the flowers come back in the
 spring. So Wales Porter. in his
 95th year, with keen mind, mem-
 ory and understanding, smiling
 face and loving heart-was lock-
 ing ahead with eager anticipa-
 tion.

of the nomination of former Rep. Thomas R. Amlie of Wisconsin to be a member of the interstate con- merce commission, MT. Roosevelt's remarks to newspapermen yestreday generally were regarded as concilia- tory to business. He avoided dis cussion fo the economy drive initiat- ed by conservative Democrats. He observed wnth smile that a news paperman had informed him there was a desire to get him to talk on that question so the assembled reporters could write stories about Democratic dissension.

\ Remarkable Memory Of Late Wales Porter
 E Recalled In Story He Told Of War
Hanging of Southern Syfn- pathizer Made Lasting
 Impression on Youth
BY JOHN BARR

0c0~0H
 There's a vacant arm chair in the fine old Porter homestead that was built when Waterbury was a vil- lage. There's a new grave on a commanding eminence in Riverside Cemetery. Wa terbury's last survivor of the Civil War has bidden us an affectionate farewell.
 Our sorrow, for the parting is mixed with our pride in the nobil- ity of the man whom we loved and honored. His contributions to his city and his country can never be forgotten. He has added to the sum of human bravery, kindness and honor. His bravery was proven on many battlefield; his kindness and high sense of honor endeared him to his family, neighbors and fellow townsmen. Waterbury is richer be- cause he lived and America is what 1t is because we have had so many such men.
 The scene of his burial a week ago today was very impressive. The early afternoon sun was brightly shining and the Flag he loved that covered the casket-was all aglitter, as were the beautiful flowers that were strewn about. The large as. semblage on the hillside was notic- ably moved and thrilled by the mill itary ceremony conducted by veter- ans of the World War-the salute of gun-flring and the bugles sounding taps All the while the sun in the heavens was brightly shining-and with exalted hearts We came away.
 It was my privilege to know
 Wales Porter quite intimately
 during the last year of his life.
 My visits with him probably aver
 aged once a week. He was an in-
 creasing wonder to me. His men,
 tai faculties were unimpaired and
 his memory the most remarkable
 I've ever known or heard of. He
 described occasions of his child
 hood and battle scene with such
 minute detail that, at first,
 looked up old newspaper files and
 histories to verify his accounts,
 but I never found him in error.
 In fact he beat the histories all to
 pieces. He was history himself.
 MT. Porter seemed quite unaware of his remarkable qualities. He was absolutely unpretentious and with out particle of conceit. When he told me of war experiences. it was always of the bravery of his com- rades that he took pride and pleas ure in recalling. His sense of humor was very keen and he told a comical story delightfully."-. He would run 8 thread of comedy through tale of ghastly tragedy in 8 manner to de- light William Shakespeare.
 On one of my visits with him I asked whether the troops he was with were bothered much by the civilian population in Southern towns they passed through or were encamped in-having in mind Gen. eral Buffers New Orleans experi- ence. In reply to this question, MT. Porter related the following story:
 "We got along pretty well with the civilian population in the South.
