VETERANS' PARADE | CLOSES REUNION Washington Yields to Biloxi for 1930 Session—Okla- homan New Chief. By the Associated Press. CHARLOTTE, N. C. June 7.—The dwindling hosts that wore the gray in the War Between the States yesterday remembered their dead, elecied their leader for another year and wound up the formal business of the annual re- union of the United Confederate Vet- erans. But though the formalities all were ended, the reunion was not over, for an hour last night they renewed their youth, with the belles of the Southland | of the 60s, 70s and of today as their guests. It was the annual ball and to it those of the aging host who were not too tired fro mthe frolicking | of the previous two days, flocked to the | armory where until after 10 o'clock no | beau under 80 was allowed. Washington Yields to Biloxi. The veterans voted unanimously to meet next year close to the home place of their beloved leader of the 60s, Jefferson Davis. Biloxi, Miss., was ac- corded the honor of entertaining the veterans when Washington, D. withdrew. At Biloxi the veterans uul be near enough to Beauvoir, home of Davis, to pay a visit t6 the shrine be- | ing erected by the Sons of Confederate | Veterans, ‘Then by acclamation, Gen. R. A, Sneed of Oklahoma, was elected com-\ mander in chief. There was a touch of pathos to the proceedings. For at the business ses- sion the veterans adopted a resolution providing that in the event of the death of a commander in chief durin, his incumbency, the adjutant genera £hould become commander. Gen. Sneed reappointed Harry Rene Lee of Nash- ville, Tenn., as adjutant general. During the memorial service the Stars and Bars stood at half staff as those who have already faced the great beyond were mourned. Gray heads bowed as they leaned on their canes and the aged throng stood in silence as the names of their comrades who passed during the year just gone were read. To the list were added at the last minute the name of Maj. John Han- cock, 89, of Austin, Tex., who died yes- terday morning of heart trouble. Head- ing the list of those whose names will be read at the Biloxi reunion will be Gen. Cortez A. Kitchen of St. Louis, who died yesterday afternoon of pneu- monia.
