Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylvania, Prevails on WIN ,. son to Visit Battle Ground and Speak Briefly ' Washington, June 28. President Wilson tonight decided to attend the 50th anniversary celebration of the Battle of Gettysburg on the Fourth of July. He telegraphed Governor Tener that he had reconsidered his previous declination, and would make a brief speech to the veterans. . The President's decision followed a conference with Representative A. Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylvania. The President had taken the position, pre viously in declining to go that he would he breaking his rule, established months ago not to leave Washington for any speech-making occasion while Consress was in session. - . Mr. Palmer pointed out, however, the importance, of the Gettysburg cele bration, its Nation-wide significance and particularly the spirit of sectional sympathy that would result from a speech by a Southern-born President at the reunion of the North and South. The President ted intended to leave Tuesday for New Hampshire to spend a few days with his family, but the trip will necessitate a re-arrangement of plans. Mr. Wilson probably will be at Gettysburg only a few hours and it has hot yet been decided whether he will go by motor or by train. His nlsns probably will be announced on Monday. Secretary Tumulty gave out this statement for the President: "The President has felt constrained to forego his chance for a few days of much needed rest in New Hamp shire this week because he feels it his duty to attend the celebration at Get- tysburg on Friday, the - Fourth of July." y'.; ' v Just fifty years ago, at Gettysburg Pa., the armies of Lee and Meade earae together in the greatest battle :of the Civil War. For three terrible days" the struggle raged about the little town, thp advantage lying first -with " one side and then with the other, until at last came Pickett's maenificent charge ending in defeat, and tb conflict was over. During the coming week the Blue and Gray will meet again on the famous battlefield, this time to ce ment the ties which half a century ago they fought to sever. Without rancor or enmity, practically all the living survivors of the battle, some 50.000 in number, will gather in a great semi centennial reunion which is to be held at Gettysburg from July 1st to 4th. It will nrcbably be the last gathering of its kind, since the veterans of the "Cs are fast departing, and for this reasnn the government as well as pa triotic organizations throughout the -ouniry man to make the occasion a memorial one. j Congress has annrnnriatPil 4250 ftftrt for the celebration and with the aid) of the individual States will bring the veterans to the scene of the battle j without expense. For an entire weec they will be entertained at Gettys burg at no cost to themselves. While there they will be quartered in an improvised camp of more than .6,000 tents. This immense city of a week, nctupying more than 20 acres, has been planned with the utmost consid eration for the comfort and well-being of the old soldiers, for it is realized they are no longer able to withstand tne rigors of rough camp life. The arrangements are in charge of two of the most experienced men in the Wartermaster'e Department of the I mted States army, who have laid out the camp in broad avenues lined with wall tents and lighted at night y Tungsten lamps. They will also nave charge of feeding, the army- of oO.Ofto men that will be assembled mere. For this purpose 400 great army cooking ranges and outfits will oe installed in the camp; with a tmief commissary, 18 assistant commissar ies S00 cooks, .800 assistant cooks and ino bakers. Nearly 1,50000 Pounds of food of various kinds will oe consumed during the week,iat an estimated cost of thirty cents for ch ration. Outside the camp a large nospitai will be established, while in side will be located 87 field hospitals, and infirmary tents with 130 surgeons and attendants.

Impatient , at delay in getting the tariff bill before the Senate, administration leaders, spurred the Democrats to action today in. the tariff caucus, and tonight con sideration of all the schedules practi cally had been completed. During the day the caucus approved the wool manufactures, silk, paper and flax, hemp and jute schedules, and to night took up sundries and the free list, to be followed Monday by consid: eration of the" administrative featuers and-Income tax section; - Surprising to many of the Senators, the caucus passed through the commit tee amendments tonight without much of the schedules, although a few items of the wool schedule were refer red back. The action of the committee in' transferring raw hemp, -flax and jute to the free ilst was approved by the caucus without discussion. .The com mittee changes in the silk schedule also - were approved and no changes were made in the paper schedule, print paper valued at not more tnan z 1-2 cents a pound being left on the unre stricted free list as in the bill which passed the . House. Jfiariy m tne day tne only enlivening discussion occurred, upon an amend ment by Senator Ashhurst to put on the. free list all woolen goods in gen eral use, such as. cloth, women's and children's dress roods. ready made clothing, stockings and the- like. . It was argued .that the Democratic plat form Justified placing all clothing on the free list Members of 4he finance committee strenuously opposed such a wide reduction, however., and the Ash.-. urLAmendment was votei -dqwn-r&y large majority. Senator Simmons tonignt declared the caucus had at last shown a dispo sition to hasten its work, and he be lieved the bill cbuld be completed by Tuesday at the latest. As amended by the1 Finance committee, reducing the normal income, tax exemption from $4, 000 to $3,000 for single persons, the revenue to be derived is estimated tc be v about the same "s the estimated revenue under the House bill ?o, 000,000. Reduction of the general ex emption,' it was figured, would be about equalized by the additional "exemp' tfona for jnarried men or women and for children dependent upon the in come of a parent, As- soon as the caucus completes the bill it will be passed upon by the full finance committee, the minority mem bers then getting their nrst oniciai look" at the measure.

(Special Star Correspondence.) - Raleigh N. C June 28. Today Mr. A.. J. Marwell, secretary of the Corpo ration Commission, . made public his reply to the letter received by him1 during the week, from Mf." Fred ,N. " Tate, president 'of the North Carolina Just Freight - Rate - Association, in which Mr. Tate - jcaade a vigorous - at tack on Mr. Maxwell's .-, recent rate speech and intimated that his position . on the rate troubles: of , the State as to organizing a steamer company out of Wilmington was not sincere, y ; Mr.. Maxwell recently delivered i an address belore" the State- Merchants Association at WWghtsvllle? Beach and the Chamber ; of Gommerce &t Wilmington, in which he strongly ad vocated the. formation--of ; a company to operate - . a line of steamers v.-Iromi Wlirmihgton" to 'Ndrthaocn. cities as -a means . of securing for. 4;he State! the low freight rates which : he said: Vir ginia had secured by reason of Nor folk's development as: a port, ,'t.Tho reply in full of -Mr.Maxwell: follows: - "There 'is rfot-a 'great deal that I wish to say in answer .to the inter view, of Mr. Fred N; Tate. I have had my say; and have spoken with that degree of care and . investigation that I am willing s to .be . judged today , or ten years from today by he .things teaid; T am only Interested. In endeavr oring to- correct' -the misrepresenta- , tions of the things said. Mr. Tate has seen' fit to question: motives, and: of course,? I: shall not . discuss, that with -him. The North Carolina Merchants -Association; '.before1- whom .the-' address was deUveredjAre. pretty fair' Judges a of matters ot loyalty 4o public trust-, t and they-dtdne the freat-honors-at the" conclusion of my address. 'to give me a vote of thanks top it by a unani mous rising vote. ? Lean ,"very well un derstand why Mr. Tata . and myself might disagree about .some of the matters discused, ; and without ques tioning motives, but it . is. especially, to be regretted, I think; that the presi dent of the North. 'Carolina Just Freight Rate Association should have contemptuously condemned the only remedy that has been .suggested that even purports to be :a remedy within the right of the State to enforce to correct our inter-State freight rates, and that he should have done so with out even reading it ... with. . sufficient care to state accurately, what it is. "Admit, Mr. Tate,, that all of the schemes , of legislative : action that have been, suggested - are wise and proper . measures, and -if the State shouhf-have both, the moral-and legal right to adopt and - enforce them all, and should do so' still -you. will not have accomplished the great purpose for which your association was form ed, to-wit: The correction of our inter State freight rates. The proposition which T have submitted is clearly within the legal and moral right of the State to enact, and I - claim for it that it will 'turn the trick' that it will accomplish the very thing your association is fighting , for reduced inter-State freight rates. Would it not be more enlightening ' to ' the public mind if yon would take the pains to point but wherein it is defective, and wherein either my facts or reasoning are at tauit, ratner tnan to dismiss it with high . Sounding ; words and charges of disloyalty to the State? Let me invite you to this sort of an analysis of the proposition.. - "You can't whistle it down, Mr. Tate, by telling the people that my plan is 'the development, of our har bors, which will require d .lbng time and much " money.'. That's .not - my proposition at all, Mr. Tate- .We al ready have the harbor," with :,, ample depth of water, to accommodate any freight steamer in the coastwise traf fic. We don't need tb, wait on any thing but the will to do it, and this appeared to be developing pretty nice ly when the president , of the Just Freight Rate Association,: stepped in and cried 'disloyalty, to C the State. Wle are not discussing' motives now, Mr. Tate, but facts and conditions. "I have shown where other cities almost as far inland as Asheville from Wilmington are today enjoying lower inter-State freight; rates as a reflec tion, of water competition. Is that true or not, Mr. Tate ? Arid if it is true, doesn't it argue strongly that we should utilize ; this great natural resource of the State in fighting this great battle for lower inter-State 'freight rates, and. use it for the de velopment of the' industrial and com mercial Interests of - the State ? And if this, suggestion was ; not timely at this time, when the whole State has been puzzled for months for a remedy, when would it -have -been timely? Cannot anything -that" Is good and timely emanate away from Greens boro or High Point f ' . V "I sat-before the Ihfer-State Com merce -Commission' at -A Washington three days and listened to the rail roads present their case to "the Com mission for relief from 1 the long and short haul act, ; showing to the Com mission how they had been forced by water competition to make lower rates from New York to inland r points all through; Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. But" they are ' not - bothered about ; North Caro lina, ; The port? is already f there, Mr. Tate, and awaits only our enterprise to use it. but ' the very' first station out of Wilmington-? takes the high rate basis on inter-State freight- If I am wrong ; about these facts, Mr. Tate, I will appreciate -it' if you" will (Continued, on: Page -8.)
