By Associated Press. Gettysburg, Ta., Junu 30. Twenty flvo thousand veterans In blue and pray, the biggest army of Its kind that has been gathered together in 50 years, awoke today on the Held of Gettysburg to the call of the reveille and the warlike rattle of pots and pans in a Bcore of mess tents. Vet erans who sat about eampflres until late at night -were up long before the sun climbed over the hills of the Blue Ridge. Before the electric lights of this modern camp were turned out the voterans were singing the songs of wartime, and the wide streets of the tented "city echoed with the "kl-yi" of the "Johnny reb" and the hoarser yell of his Yankee brother from the north. The regular army men in charge of the camp expected 15,000 veterans to come Into Gettysburg today and by tonight they will bo prepared to tent and mess the more than 40,000 men without hitch or delay. There was no set program today and the veterans were left free to look up ld friends and old enemlra, swap stories of '03 and enjoy themselves In anyway they saw lit. Just as soon as the rations of bacon and eggs and coffee, "fruit In season," fresh bread and butter were disposed of in the way all good soldiers dis pose ofhem, the real inspection of the.

The plan for dissolving the Union racliic-South-ern Pacific merger, which Attorney General 'McReynolds, with the ap proval of President Wilson, has agreed upon with oltlcials of the railroad and which was submitted today to the fed eral court here allows until January 1.-1916, for the complete dissolution of the combination adjudged Illegal by the Supreme court. All previous plans are superseded by tins latest one, which proposed that the Union Pacilic shall exchange $38,-' 000,000 of lis $126,000,000 holdings m the Southern Pacilic for the Pcnnsji vanla railroad's entire holdings in the Baltimore and Ohio virtually an equal amount and that the remain ing $S.X,000,000 shall be sold to the general public through a trust com pany. No stockholder in the Union Pacilic may buy any of the Southern Pacilic stock so sold and each purchaser would be obliged to make affidavit that he was not acting in concert or agreement with anyone as to buying Southern Fueilic to secure a new con trol for the Union Pacific. The transaction would begin on November 1, 1913, and if not com plete by January 1, 1916, the court would direct the disposition of any Southern Pacilic stock remaining un taken. The court will be asked, before ap proving the plan, to allow time for any one, whether an interested party General Missionary Conference of Southern Methodist Church Ends Sessons. - or not, to Interpose objections.

Partially due to the wonderful ad dresses and talks heard during the conference, last evening six young men nnd women volunteered as mis sionaries. Bishop Hendrix, who was presiding, sold that If no other good had been done by tho conference the fact that these men nnd women had offered their lives was enough and all of them made publicly announce ment of intentions before the con ference, many asking to be sent to ertaln fields and others asking for any field. The lust day of the conference opened tinder auspicious conditions. the cxi'esslve heat of tho last few days being somewhat abated and a light rain on Saturday night settling the dust: By far the largest attendance yesterday recorded at thn conference was present all day yesterday, nun dreds of Asheville people came over and the country folk for miles around Journeyed In for the last and best day of the conference, The morning session yesterday was devoted in the morning to a powerful sermon delivered by Bishop J.

Several missionaries who are h'-re from foreign fields made short talkr on "Why I Am" and "Why I Offer, great enlhuslnsm being manifested by those present In tho stories of their lives, as unfolded by these workers from distant lands. Special prayer was offered during the morning, In which Bishop Henoilx led. to all the old soldiers who will attend Gettysburg for the reunion. By official action of the conference the name of the Lake was declared to lie Junaluska and not "Unaluska," a it hud been colled by many.

A searching Investigation of the so-called "under ground system" at the capitol, not only by the senate lobby committee but by a select committee of the house also, promises to be the first result of the sensational charges by Martin M. Hulhall, who claims to have been the general field "lobbyist" for the. National Association of Manufacturers. Mulhall's startling allegations that representatives, senators and high offi cials of the government had been reached" or "influenced", that the "lobby" conducted its operations from a room in the capitol, paid money to employes there, took an active hand in making up committees and went out actively in the political campaigns to defeat congressmen who opposed leg islation "the lobby" wanted, have thrown congressional circles into an uproar. . - Congressman named in the Mulhall charges are issuing statements some ot them denouncing the allegations as "malicious lies." Speaker Clark last night issued a statement confirming the charge that the "lobby" had work ed for his defeat. Many congressmen mentioned, however, who feel that they have been brought in without any specific charges- against, them, de- clare they will not be satisfied with the senate lobby committee's investi gation alone, but will insist on a se lect committee of the house to sift the charges. Going Back Ten Years. The senate committee, however, In tends to lose no time. Subpoena al ready served on Mulhall is to be fol lowed by others for the men named In the public charges. Senator Overman believes when his process servers get through they will spread a dragnet to bring in material for an Investigation covering the last ten years' doings at the senate committee to. Investigate that far. Chairman Overman intends to have the senate extend its powers, Mulhall's sensational statement . were almost the sole topic of discus sion in official circles today. President Discuses Charges. President Wilson discussed the Mul hall charges briefly today with the Washington correspondents and said he believed the lobby on tariff legisla tion had ceased to "embarrass any body but itself." When the president made his first declaration that "a numerous and Insiduous lobby" was operating in Washington, he had no idea that such ' charges as made by Mulhall would be brought ot, but he added he was in favor of investigating all charges and had no doubt the senate committee would have a free hand. The presi dent told his callers the accusations In the Mulhall statement had been brought to his attention Just before their publication. It was learned to ,iav that Senator Overman's attention I Un,1 l.unn alan nuHfA to A. DOrtlOn Of r. .. the charges. I Chairman Overman called his conu; mlttee together for a short executive conference early today and at Its con elusion announced that a full invesiir gallon of the Mulhall charges had been agreed upon. "We will go to the bottom of the charges." he said, "and while I hav no doubt the committee ha the au thority, if it hasn't we will have it authority extended." It was decided that no meeting of the committee will be held until July 8.
