Mrs. Daisy McLauren Stevens, presl

The time has now come," said sen
ator Williams, in his address, "when
the north haa learned to appreciate
Robert E. Lee and 'Stonewall' Jack
son, as we of the south have learned to
admire Grant Sherman, Sheridan and
Lincoln."
Robert E. Lee Camp Numebr One,
United Confederat Veterans, arrived
shortly before 1 o'clock and marched
up Capitol hill In a drizzling rain, car
rying the Stars and Bars and Stars
and Stripes side by side. The veterans
took electric trains for Arlington.
' The tribute of their former foremen
in arms to the Confederate soldiers.
was voiced by Washington Gardner,
commander in chief of the Grand
Army-of the Republic.
Speaking for the surviving union
soldiers General Gardner declared
feelingly that the heroic devotion and
lofty self-sacrifice of these honored
dead is held in grateful and affection
ate memory."
"It seems fitting that here on th'.s
grounds, once the home of Robert E
Lee, there should rest the remains of
some of the gallant men who followed
that brave soldier even unto death,
said General Gardner. "It Is fitting
here, in sight of the nation's capital
and here in this national burying spot
consecrated to national valor, that
some of our fellow-countrymen the
representatives of once-hostile armies.
whose unsurpassed bravery is now a
common heritage and pride, should
rest in undisturbed slumber and that
the place of final resting should be
marked by a fitting tribute to we ira
dltlons and memories of the south.
We are here to illustrate anew that
the hate and strife which long preced
ed the great war, no longer finds I
olace In the hearts nor expression
upon the lips of our countrymen.
"This monument speaks the lan
mar of neace and good will. There
Is room in the hearts of all for cher
ished .recollection of valorous dead,
and at the same time the most unfal
tering love, loyalty and devotion to
the union of all states.".
Mrs. Stevens, in her address of pre
sentation, said:
"It would be both useless and Im
pertinent for me to try to praise or
appraise our southern dead; useless,
because the world has done and will
do that. Soldiers have laid laurels on
their biers. Divines have quickened
listening multitudes to nonier minus
by recital of their deeds." Poets have
embalmed their memory In. the honey
of Immortal verse. It would be Im
pertinent because only lips Inspired of
God could tell how southern hearts
feeei over our southern dead.
"They sleep within the shadow of
the home of Lee and In sight of the
dome of, the capital of their fathers
and their sons."

MOVEMENT AGAINST

To Keep Nationals From Los

tary Operations.
Washington, June 4. The
tripar
Unlted tlte agreement between the
States, Great Britain and the Nether
lands, as means of protecting their
nationals In the oil fields against spol
iation was announced today at the
state department. The danger of re
turning to the oil fields while military
operations were In progress, have
made it Impossible for the operators
of the oil wells In many cases to meet
their contractural obligations or to
comply with the requirements of the
authorities. As a possible result some
of the contracts may be. cancelled, or
some of the properties confiscated
and the Interests re-sold.
"The matter has been brought to
the attention of the governments of
the United States, Great Britain and
the Netherlands. Appreciating the
great injustice to the operators, who
for their safety were compelled to
leave the district and so unable to
comply with their contracts and le
gal provisions the three governments
have formally agreed that they will
not support diplomatically any claims
to interests In the oil regions acquir
ed directly or Indirectly by their re
spective nationals since April 20,
1914, which In any way were affect
ed by cancellation or confiscation re
sulting from the inability of the bona
fide owners to meet their eoritractur-
al or legal obligations because of
military operations or the disturbed
political state in and about Tampico
and Tuxpam.
"Thls agreement in no way, how
ever, affects any case in which the
owner could have performed his ob
ligations or any case of legitimate
transfer.
"There Is little doubt but this ar
rangement by the three governments
whose nationals constitute the great
bulk of the Oil operators in Mexico
will be effectual in preventing ad
venturers from taking unfair advan
tage of the situation of unrest In the
Tamplco district since Vera Cruz was
occupied.'

George Baker, directors and George F.t
Minot, a former direct, were present;

that the New Haven held marketable:
securities of the Blllard company,
worth $10,400,000. when they were ire
reality of little value?" Chief Counsel
Folk asked Mr. Skinner.
"I took the word of the accounting
department of the road."
"Then, so far as these securities
were concerned, you were merely a
rubber stamp director?" ( r ,
"I did not, and could not Investigate
all of these details. I accepted the
report of the accounting department
of the value of the securities."
"Did you know of the 'prayer from

timent?" "Yes."
"Do you think It was right to cir
culate literature purporting to come

not the necessity of disintegrating

them?" asked William Nelson Crom

rectors. That had a good deal to do with,
