London, May 29.—(By Associated Press.)—Following a meeting of the cabinet Irish committee this morning, a_joint session of the British - and was called .to \ HOW MEMORIAL DAY GOT ITS START. The Herald tells here for the first time, in an article which represents weeks of research on the part of fts staff of corres- pondents. It seems strange that so little attention has been paid in his- tory to the beginning of a day which is now being observed all over the world. But such is the case. To get the true significance of Memorial Day, read the story on Page —and see to it that the children in your family study it carefully. Columbus, Ga., May 20.—To the women of Columbus, Ga., belongs the honor of having conceived Memorial Day as we know it today. The first observancé was on April 26, 1866. Charleston, 8. C., had previously held a form of memorial exercise on May 1, 1865, consisting of dedication ceremonies on the ground where 257 Union soldiers were buried. Ten thousand persons attended the exer- cises, which were arranged by Jamos Redpath, gencral superintendent of education. But as this gathering was called for the single purpose of dedi- cating a cemetery, it could hardly be regarded as the “first Memorial Day.” There were no festivities in con- ncetion with the first Memorial Day LR A. ARMY FIGHTS BELFAST POLICEMEN One Constable Dead and Five Army Men Killed ‘ Belfast, May 29 (Dy Associated Press)—Sharp fighting between mem- bers of the Irish republican and the Ulster speciai conslahul:lr_\" occurred last night aiong the bound- ary between Counties Donegal and IPFermanagh, in the Delleck distrist. Five republicans are reported to have ‘heen killed and a number] wounded. One constable was killed.' The fl!,'hlmi; followed the action of, the Ulster police in taking possession! to Belleek village and *Magsercnes! castles nearby. Special police from the Belleck fort army, in Columbus. *This was a day of “sad memories."” From 1861 to the end of the war Columbus had a Ladies' Aid society, 1its purpose being to care for &ol- diers, ill or wounded, who might come home or who could be reached in the field. In January, 1866, short- ly after the end of the struggle, Miss Lizzie Rutherford asked Mrs. Jane Martin, a resident of Green- ville who was visiting in Columbus, to join a number of other women at Linwood cemetery in looking after the graves of soldiers who had died in Columbus hospitals. The duty of devotion'finished, Miss Rutherford and Mrs. Martin dis- cussed the significance of the work they had been doing in the cemetery. “Let us continue the Ladies’ Aid society for work of this character,” said Miss Rutherford. Metting Caled. Within a few days, in January of 1865, she cailed a meeting of the so- i at the home of Mrs. John The house still stands. Those present were Mrs Robert Carter, president; Mrs. R. A. Ware, Mrs. Wiiliam G. Woolfolk, Mrs. Clara M. Dexter, Mrs. J. M. McAllister, and Mrs. Charles J. Wiillams. Neither Miss Rutherford nor Mrs. Martin were able to attend, both being out of the city. This meeting formed itself into the first Ladies’ Memorial association, Tyler. of which was killed during the heavy firing. Both Wings Represented. Both wings of the Irish republican army, the insurgents and those under the free stote government, are be- lieved to have been represented in the force which the Ulsterites encoun- tered The southerners attacked in horseshoe formation the only side open to the public facing on Lough Erne, across which they have been receiving their supplies by boat.

Johnston surrendered his army to the Fed- erals, an act that sealed the fate of the Confederacy; second, it was a date when flowers would be plenti- ful. Witness Describes It. Death has claimed all the women who attended the January meeting. There i{s one person alive, however, who has personal knowledge of the gathering. She is Mrs. M, E. Gray, daughter of Mrs. Tyler. Because she was only fourteen, her mother did not pérmit her to come into the room, but she attended the first ex- ercises held the following April 26 at the St. Luke's Methodist church. Rapidly Miss Rutherford's idea spread through the south, Mrs, John A. Logan, wife of General Lo- gan, commander-in-chief of the G A. R, learned of the practice while | visiting in the south. At her urgent request, General Logan issued an or-| der to all Grand Army posts to cele- brate Memorial Day on May 30, 1868. As the years passed, state after state has, by an act of legislature, set aside one day each spring as Memorial Jay. While most states celebrate May 30, others have set aside April 26, May 10 and June 3. The American Legion is now urg- ing that May 30 be made a uni-| versal Memorial Day, not only throughout the United States but all| over the world. | GOVT.

CHINAMEN ARE BARRED Seamen Hereafter Cannot Even Come Ashore in American Ports. New York, May 20.—Commissioner | Robert E. Todd has amended the im- migration regulations here in an ef- fort to stop the desertion of Chinese seamen in American ports.
