WASHINGTON HONORS CONFEDERATE DEAD Memorial Exercises Held At Arlington Cemetery. Washington; June 6.-Hunas Joined with Confederate veterans today in the annual memorial exercise In Honor of the heroes of the Confederacy wh6 ere buried in Arlington national cemetery. - The exercises which were under the auspice of Camp No. 171. United Con federate Veterans, centered about the Confederate monument. a majestic ehaft reared by the Daughters of Con federacy and marking that section of Arlington cemetery set aside for the burial of the Confederate dead. At the base of the monument was the -Southern Cross." a reproduction of the stars and bars done in flowers. This floral tribute, presented by Camp No. 305. Sons of Confederate Veterans, was unveiled by Miss Grace Roper, insisted w ri. MiHun tJorhur.' Flowers were etrewn on each grave, which were marked by tiny American flags. -We southerners.- said Representa tive R. Walton Moore, of Virginia, who made the principal address of the day, "yield to no one in our loyalty to the flag and our solicitude for the integ rity and welfare of the republic. We offer no apology for the men and women who were identified with the Confederate cause and we shall never forget -the remarkable courage and fortitude, the unflinching resolution and self-sacrifice that distinguished the civil government and military op erations of the Confederacy and marked the conduct of the people who followed the leadership of Davis and Lee." Mr. Moore referred to the birthday of Jefferson Davis, president of the Con federacy, which was celebrated a ' few days ago. and reviewed the career of Mr. Davis as a soldier, cabinet officer and representative and senator. He declared Mr. Davie wan devoted to the union, which his father, . a soldier of the revolution, had helped establish, tut that he always held to the convic tion that the states had the right to withdraw from the; union without be ing coerced to reman.

Quickel 2,813; Marvin Riteh 1 -W, Councill 2,221: A. L. eV. w p (Special to The Star.) Chicago, June 6.- All the republican aspirants- are at the poet; their jockeys are nervously madeuveririg for posi tion,, and they fcre "just rarin to go." The -convention Is absolutely open. Not since 1888. when Benjamin Harrison was nominated, has there been so much doubt as to the nominee. 1 " , 3 ' The managers of" all the candidates profess confidence and all - are ex tremely nervous. .. The outstanding "Big Four" are tVood, Johnson, Lowden and Ifatrding. In the background loom Hoover. Knox. Hughes, Coolidge 'and several 'favorite eons." ' - ' ' UntU the senat e investigating : com mittee uncovered the etory of Missouri and the huge sums of money spent by the Lowden supporters .to', get Its dele gation, perhaps the ' most real confi dence was felt In the Lowden camp. Even following : that atory, the, Lowden men seemed,. confident. .But the .senate investigations into cftmpalgn expendi tures have undoubtedly damaged he Wood and Lowden booms - considerably, and as the delegates gather, the most talk is heard of Johnson and Harding. ' Dos Hot AVant Johnson " The "Old Guard" undoubtedly does not want Johnson, hut it Is whispered around hotel lobbies that It wouia pos sibly take him rather than risk a tterl- oua party schism. This same ."Old Guard" - would undoubtedly stand for Wood, but for the reported hostility of Senator Penrose toward the general's aspirations. Senator Penrose . will not be here, although he has rented aliouse for the week at a reported fabulous price. His proxy will b held by John A. King, of Connecticut, who was the arst manager of the Wood campaign King had a falling out with Colonel Procter, who later came" in , as the financial "angle" of the Wood boomj but there are reports that Procter may be shelved and King again become the "fair-hatred "boy" In conjunction with Frank "Warwick" Hlfohcockv the presi dent maker, who has been handling the ; Wood campaign In the sonth; and who' is notoriously hostile to: Colonel Procter. If this , should eventuate. Wood's chances would be much brighter. He would then be in a position to get the "Old Guard" support some time during the balloting, and If ne should receive this h.e could be nominated. " ' Tie past week witnessed a curious phenomenon.' "W6od and Johnson had been fighting each other bitterly, but because of the strongly confident bear ing of the Lowdenltes, both the Wood and Johnson camps apparently became somewhat alarmed, and for several days both have been turning their guns upon Lowden. Thus there has been es tablished, a sort of community Of In terest between Wood and Johnson, which may or may not preva IL once the balloting is well under way. Hardlnsr Beaefits t Senator Harding has undoubtedly benefited by these developments. The "Old Guard" would like to nominate Mm If It can. It would, also like to nominate Senator Knox, and. would probably prefer the Perinsylvanlan .to the Ohioan. The fear is that any one branded with the "Old Guard" label would be -seriously weakened. 1 ""How ever. Harding's campaign has been so Quiet, and has so seriously avoided giv ing offense to any of the other candi dates that they all seem pleasantly, dis posed toward him. ' ' The town is ablaze with pre-conven-tion enthusiasm and alive with politi cal gossip. There Is an Immense John son streamer all the way across the great Auditorium hotel, proclaiming to all and sundry that Hiram's headquar ters are there. The Congress hotel, where most of the headquarters have been ' established, resembles a hive ' of human beee, and this resemblance' Is the more vivid because of the constant buzz of gossip. ..." Little of Interest has developed, on the democratic side, as the near ap proach of the republican gathering has practically crowded the democrats out of the picture. The stock of Governor James E. Cox. of Ohio, however, took a distinct upturn during the week, when there were . notable signs of a crystallization ; of "llberar opinion to ward him.. ' v It Is reported President Wilson does not desire a definite stand taken on the "wet? and "dry" question. He will un doubtedly dominate the convention, hut whether he can prevent a "liberal ptetnlc is questioned.' Whether he will try very hard Is another question, as he will be fighting Bryan over foreign policies, and Bryan will also be fight ing for a "bone dry plank. Governor Cox is reported to be highly esteemed by President Wilson, and should the liberKs agree to the Presi dent's general program, but center upon the Ohio governor and a "beer and light wine" platform. It Is.belleved the President would acquiesced " Incidentally, Bryan is here "and an nounces he will work for a "dry plank in the republican platform. - after Opening exercises yesterday noon on i Wrightsville sound were at tended by a crowd of several hundred people, who came and went inspecting every part nf the building and equip ment. .
