The "yel low peril" caused a slight flurry In the section devoted to immigrants, but the debate, acrimonious at times, end ed with tha best of feeling among the delegates. W, A, Gates, secretary of the board of charities of San Francisco declared that the yellow peril was more of a menace today than at any time In the past. "It Is also gravelyr doubt ed," declared Mr. Gates, "if Japan Is faithfully keeping the 'gentleman's agreement' entered Into with the United States regarding the restriction of the immigration of the coolie class A similar agreement entered Into with Great Britlan with regard to British Columbia has been deliberately vlo lated.

CONQUERED SONS OF CONFEDERACY CHEER GRANT'SSOft Remarkable Demonstration of Magnanimity Makes Parade of Veterans Most Notable in His tory of Reunions. (By Ajomciated Press.) MEMPHIS, Tenn.. une 10. A fren zied demonstration of welcome by the men in gray for the son of the man who conquered them, marked the An al scene of the 19th reunion of the United Confederate Veterans today. It took place during the parade. In the reviewing stand . stood General Frederick Dent Orunt. of the United States army. The first few divisions n line passed wHh only a limited i number recognizing tha son of the man who accepted tha surrender of Le. But anally a cavalry division approached and Its commanding offi cer. General Tyler, of Hickman, Ky old and grizalcd, peered steadily at General Grant a moment. Then he turned In his saddle and rolled: Come on, yon kids, here's General Qrant come to life again In his son." Eyes tilled Wttb Tews. WHh one of the old time rebel yells. the division remnants of Forest's Cav alry charged upon the stand and Jostled one another for an opportuni ty to shake the hand of the son of their old time enomy. From that moment every gray clad veteran whj could reach the stand rushed up to shake hands with General Grant The stocky army officer's cold gray eyes filled -with tears and his shoul ders shook with emotion as he "nvir- mured, "God bless you all, boys. God bless you." giving each a cordial hand grasp. , Battle-torn banners were grouped at his feet and waved over his head In salute. One old officer rode up to the stand, seized General Granfs hand and kissed him on the cheek, exclaiming, "God bless you, boy. ought your father of whom, you are the Image, but he was a gallant, mag, nanlmous foe and I love his son." KemarkaMe Outburst. More than one veteran was In tears as ho saw the fanviue federal chief- tan 's son o touched by; the recep tion. It is doubtful if any other northern man, even .at president- ever received such an ovation as (hat which was spontaneously given to eneral Grant by the confederate vet erans today. The parade over, the reunion was practically ended and the veterans' special trains began to leave e city at 2 p. m. The ball of the sponsors, maids and atrons tonight was the one big so la! event of the reunion. It was pened by the famous Southern cross drill, and one thousand couples par ticipated In the dance, despite the suffocating heat. Itelk-s of HaUleflchU. Clad In the rough homespun which they wore sometimes to victory but finally to defeat In the sixties; shoul der to shoulder with men who bore uncomplainingly with them the awful hardships and deprivations of a crusj war, ten thousand 'Veterans marched In what was probably the lust big pa rade In which they will ever partlcl pate. Some of them wore straggling beards aa gray as their uniforms. Some were cleanly shaven. There were many wooden sleeves and acurea hobbled along on wooden logs. But all marched proudly and bravely with the fire of a great faith In their eyas and the pride of a great though lost cause In their step. Heat Was Intense. The heat was Intense the culmi nation of three days of the warmest weather Memphians say they have had In years. The sun beat down pitilessly upon the asphalted stree:i and was thrown back Into the faces of the heavily clad old veterans as they marched along. At the suggestion of the parade committee, the line of march was cut down about one mil and the counter inarch waa elimlnat ed. Commanders of divisions and brigades directed that the older and feebler members of their commands should drop out. But officers were compelled to report that they could find no men old enough or feeble enough to take advantage of the in dulgonce. Bands from all over the South twenty-five of them, were Intcrspcrs ed here and there through the parade and when steps lagged or aged limbs trembled or seemed unable to keep the step, the stirring notes of "Dixie, "My Maryhtnd" or "The Girl I Left Behind Me," were sufficient to send the! blood cotfralng through tha old veins as- it did fifty years ago and lend strength to the muscles that age rod weakened.

Harms has re signed, he says, writing a letter to Secretary of Agriculture James Wil son, demanding an investigation or the meat inspection system at the National stock yards. Harms In his letter says: "The Inspection at the National stock yards, Illinois. Is costing the people approximately 1100,000 a year and it Is not actually worth 11 to them. Fur when the word Is passed from the inspector In charge to the Inspectors actually d-oing the work on the floors that they are getting too many condemned animals and to change the grading, it means that the whole thing Is e farce. Mr. Sec retary, the packers are getting today from, seventy to eighty per cent of what ought to be condemned and de stroyed. Take Lard From Sewer. "I have seen from 1,200 to 1,500 pounds of lard spill and run Into an open sewer In the floor, the sewer Outlet quickly blocked, and said lard taken up from the floor and out of the sewer, both of which were un clean and unsanitary, and your doc tors passed some of the packers over the protest or the Inspector on that floor and it wept to the public mark ed V.

"Some of the filthiest things Imag Inable are practised In the sausage de partments such as using bladders fo: casing without thorough washing or cleaning, the use of filthy tripe In sausage, the use of slimy hog stom achs for casings or containers, the using of meats that have fallen on the floor and are taken up and used without any pretense of cleaning. 'These are all permitted by those in charge. If an Inspector calls their attention to any of the wrong, he is told as I was. that the people who eat such stuff are too lazy to prepare anything for themselves and ought to have such stuff." j KEYNOTE DFPRES.TAFTS Enmity of Denominations Toward Each Other lias Died Out Recently. i HIS VISIT TO POPE WASHINGTON, 'complete church June 10. That emulation is a good thing and that there should b In this country 'no Invidious dlstlnc Hons in elections because 'of religious belief," were the key-notes of the ad dresses made tonight by President Taft before the congress of Roman Catholic missionaries now In session In this city. The president spoke principally of the work of settling In the- Philippines the difficulties caused by (he close re lationship there of church and gov ernment. He expressed the opinion that In the end the church would be strengthened by the change there "as freedom and toleration and the com plete separation of church and state have strengthened the church In this country." Referring to his visit to Pope Leo XIII and the subsequent settlement of the church problem In the Phil ipplnes, he declared that few extrem Ists in this country had round any exception thereto. "I venture to say. added the presi dent, "that if this visit to Rome had occurred forty years ago I would have sunk any administration responsible for it, which only goes to show that this country is broad enough for all denominations to work together for the fatherhood of Ond and the broth erhood of man and for all of us to live here as American citizens and that we should make no Invidious dis tinctions In elections because of re ligious belief." He said it is a good thing for the Roman Catholic church that there are other denominations In the Phil ippines, that "complete church emu lation, competition, If I may use that term, Is a good thing. In religion as well as in other things of life." A resolution was adopted providing for the appointment of a committee to formulate a telegram to the pope thanking him for his letter of appro bation sent last fall to the mlssioa workers of America.
