Gettysburg, Pa., July 3—A handful of men in gray re-enacted today the charge of Pickett across the fleld of Gettysburg. Uphe slope of Cemetery Ridge, where death kept step witl them in '63, 150 veterans of the Vir- ginia regiments of that immortal brigude made thelr slow parade. Un- der the brow of the Mdge in the Bloody Angle. where the Philadelphia brigads sto0d that day, was a handful of blue, scarcely larger, waiting to meet the onsiaught of peace. There were nu Sashing sabres, no guns roaring with sheil, only eves that dimmed fast and kindly faces behind teh stone wall that marks the angle. At the end, in piace of wounds or prison or death, handshakes, speeches and mingling cheers. A Tattered Confederate Flag. The veterans in gray marched for a quarter of & mile over the ground that they traversed during the charge. The; came up the slope In column of fours, trreguiar, but responsive to the com- mands of Major W. W. Bentley of the 24th Virginia, one of toe few officers of either Pickett's or the Philadeiph brigade who was present. Abead of them marched a band, and down the column was a faded Confederate flag, its red field pierced with many holcs, its crossbars dim and its shaft colored with the sweat of many a man who had @ied that it might fiy high in that Iast desperate effort to pierce the Un- fon lines. Its progress was slow and painful, for the timothy in the fleld was high and its plowed surface was not easy for the world weary feet. Up to the very edge of the stone wall, cov- ered mow with tangled vines, shaded by trees ard peaceful as a summer lane, they marched in the hot sun while the band played “Dixie.” Ther they stood for half an hour while their comrades im blue peered across at them. Flags Crossed in Amity. The biue line formed behind the walls. Over their heads floated a fad- ed standard of the Second army corps ani them were the statues Phfladelphia brigade and the £ A. battery, where General died in the midst of tha guns, history says, by a shot fired by his dy- | ing commander, Lieut. Cushing. As the men in gray formed in a long line facing the wall the Stars and Bars and the flag of the Second corps were crossed in amity; the Stars and Strides ‘was unfurled and the crowd that came to watch burst into a_cheer. Repre- sentative J. Hampton Aoore of Penn- sylvania made a speech, and Major, Bentley answered him on behalf of the south. The veterans in gray were gf en a medal provided by John Wana- maker. They crowded over the stone | wall, shook hands and the charge was ever. There was many a picturesque fisure in the line that came up the siopa Slaughter of Fifty Years Ago. ‘W. H. Turpin of the 53d Virginia ap- peared in the uniform he wore on the day of the charge His feet wer- bound in cloth. He had an bianket strapped to his back and he calmly smoked a long stemmed corn- £ob pipe. There were fifteen regiments in Pick- ott's division thag day in '63, and the Distories say that 5,000 men charged across the fleld. Every ficldofficer was killed or wounded, except one lieuten- ant colonel, and two-thirds of the line officers met the same fate. Of th 6,000 whio charged only about 2,000 re turned to the Confederate position. The Philadelpha brigade numbered about 1,200 men, and lost 543 in killed | and wounded A Home for Confederats Veteran “Governors’ day” in the big tent was ® great success. The enclosure was crowded with thousands of cheering veterans. Patriotism and love of coun- try was the keynote of the speeches Interest was added to the occasion by the, presence of a congressional com- | miftee of 31 representatives and nine | senators who came hera this afternoon | fromn Washington, headed by Vice President Marshali and Speaker Champ Ciark. One practical Buggestion came from the meeting. Governor Cox of Ohio in his address urged that the national so! diers’ nome at Johnson City, Tenn., be turned over to the Confederates for use as a home for the veterans who fought under tRe southern flag. The audienca wolced its approval of the suggestion by tremendous applause. | Vice President Marshall Speaks. Yice President Marshall was the first | | speaker. His address was in the na- ture of a Fourth of July oration. He #aid in part it would be valn 1o speak of right or wrong on this occasion. This cele- bration could only happen in America. Nowhere else in the world could men who fought as bitter foes fifty years #g0 meet and clasp hands in brotherly love, as they are doing here today. This occasion wipes out the last of the Mason and Dixon Ifpe.

Washington, July 3.—After three months of tinkering, democratic re- visfon at last is on the ways ready for | launching in the senate as the Under- wood-Simmons bill. . The democratic to late today finally approved the measure as revised by the finance committee majority and by its own action, and a final meeting of the caucus will be held Saturday, when the resolution to bind the senalors to its support wilk be presented and adopted. For the first time in history the bill as it comes through the senate revisionary machine is a lower tariff measure than passed the house, not- withstanding the fact that the estimat- ed revenues to be derived from the bill t is now framed are larger by about ,000,000 than under’ the measure as it came from sthe house. The total estimated revenue under the Underwood-Simmons measure will be, including’ the income tax, about $310,000.000. ~For the first year it will be $8,000,000 greater than that, ings- much’ as’ the senate caucus has ap- proved the amendment of the financed committee postponing effectiveness of the cut in sugar until March 1, 1914, Tomorrow majority members of the finance committee will meet to check up on the final draft of the, bill and also to fix a date when all the sched- ules not specifically provided for shall become effective, It is the sense of the caucus that some time after the passage of the bill should be granted and it is planned to fix Oet. 1, 1913, as the date when all the new' rates except sugar and a few other matters otherwise directed shall become oper- ative. As to wool, a recommendation of the finance sub-committee will bhe made Satyrday. JAGK JOHNSON WILL NOT FORFEIT BOND Court Denies the Motion of the Gov- ernment Counsel.
