Thousands Gather at Reunion
in New Orleans
fiEN. EVANS SPEAKS
Makes Earnest Plea for Truthful His
tory of Confederate Record in the
Civil War Gold Medal Presented
to General Cabell Roll Call
(iron's Shorter.
(P.v the Associated Press.)
New Orleans, April 26. With the
exception of the time consumed by
i ne presentation to Gen. W. L. Cabell
of a gold medal by the veterans of
Arkansas, the second day of the con
federate reunion was in its opening
hours devoted strictly to business,
the reports of the committees on cre
dentials, the Battle Abbey and his
torical committee being received and
approved.
The presentation of the medal to
General Cabell was made the occa
sion of an enthusiastic outburst, of
affectionate regard for that grizzled
veteran, which deprived him of
speech for a few minutes and nearly
overmastered him entirely. Quickly
recovering, however, he expressed his
gratitude in a few words of deep ap
preciation, which proved how highly
ho valued the testimonial from, his
former comrades.
The report of the committee on
credentials Which was adopted gave
i he total number of ea'mps represent
ed as 755 and the aggregate of votes
2," 15. The voles by slates were as
follows;
Alabama 4 " I.. A rkunsas 139, Dis
trict, of Columbia 7, Florida SO, Geor
gia 199, Illinois 2, Kentucky 126,
Louisiana 170, Indian Territory 4 9,
Maryland 1 II, Mississippi 196, Mis
souri 78, North Carolina 115, Ohio
i, Oklahoma 24, South Carolina 136,
Tennesseo 181, Virginia 113, Texas
447, West Virginia 20, Pacific divi
sion 18, northwest division 31.
Following the adoption of the "re
port' of the commit lee on credentials
I lie veterans of Arkansas presented a
written address to General Cabell
and passed over to Gen. S. D. Lee
the beautiful medal intended for
General Cabell. General .Lee added
to the address of the veterans a few
eloquent words of his own and then
pinned I he medal upon the breast of
General '"'ahell. The latter strug
gling with his emotions was about to
reply when a beautiful young lady.
Miss Alice W. Park of Texas, pre
sen tod him with a huge bunch of
roses which completed his discomfit
ure. He closed his speech of thanks
with the assertion that he would not
accept for hjs share in the civil war
"a lump of gold as large Texas With
a diamond in it as large as Arkan
sas." -
The report of the confederal me
morial association upon the Battle
Abbev was prese-tited. It declared In
effect that the situation had not
changed since the last reunion. Be
cause of the great confusion in the
hall Chaplain General Jones who had
undertaken to read the report was
compelled to abandon his task and
the report after being adopted was
ordered printed.
Gen. Clement A. Evans of Georgia,
presented the report of the historical
committee and taking warning by
the fate of Chaplain General Jones,
said, that he would not attempt to
read the report, but would file it with
the officers of the reunion, and he
asked that his action be approved
and his report accepted. His wish
was adopted by the convention.
General Evans' Report.
General Evans prefaced his report
proper by a few words relative to the
material prosperity of the nation at
large and the south in particular. He
then said:
"The reputation of the people of
the south is so dear to themselves
that they Insist upona fair portrai
ture in history. The true story of
the people who formed the confed
eracy and fought its battles is of
piore value to the ruture citizens oi
the south than all the. property lost
in that struggle. The character of a
people who in the language of Glad
stone's famous compliment had
'created a nation' is worth for fu
ture Influence more to the United
States than the billions expended in
preventing their success in the effort
to secede. When the general char
acter of our wondrous nation has
been formed it will be known that
the south brought its fairest offerings
to construct the nobler nationality of
this republic. . : .
"It is truly gratifying to ourselves
as Confederate soldiers that the great
interests dependent on accurate his
tory and pure literature have not
been neglected during the general
commercial advance.
"This fair field is more pleasing to
contemplate because it becoming
cleared of such noxious weeds and
thorns as unpatriotic suppressions,
sectional expressions, ungenerous
treatment of illustrious men and
other stimulant's of hatred. In the
main the writers of nil literature!
which specially concerns the events
of confederate times have become
better, conditions more sincere, less
partisan, more national. The in
crease of books relating to the south
has been remarkable and In the gen
eral tone of the new issue there is a
decided abandonment of the former
sectional rancor and unfair treat
ment, r
"The, one great principle, however,
which must be sacredly regarded by
all writers Is that the essential truths
of United States history are the right
ful common property of all the people
of our country. The artful suppres
sion of fmpression of important his
torical truths must be construed as
an intentional creation of false im
pressions. It is a criminal hiding
of a piece of the common property
and therefore this body of confed
erate soldiers has uniformly and
earnestly insisted on fullness, fair
ness and facts In the history of our
common government. The survi
vors of the confederate armies have
never admitted that there is any rea
son in the old barbarous saying that
victors write the history of war, and
their protest has been ever vehement,
against the application of the com
mon cry, 'Vac Vict is' to the overpow
ered south.
"It will also be borne in mind that
in the course of these reports and
special papers submitted to the con
secration of united confederates, we
have condemned with special .empha
sis the unfairness of those school
books which treat southern questions
in the section spirit and we are still
In earnest, in driving all such books
out of the schools. Why should
northern boys and southern boys be111VP (l ,.a!o,f.( nt. the mint. Superii-
taught any known untruth as a part
of their country s history? Whyienteil his willingness to assist in eat-:
should not both be taught, to respect
each other and thus lay a foundation
In the schools for the subsequent, re-j 1
l.lation whlcn will come in manhood?
Why should there be education in
prejudice rather than In patriotism?"

GOD'S HAND IN
GREAT TRAGEDY

City Was too Wicked
FRISCO WAS WIDE OPEN
Col. Z. P. Smith Has Letter From
State Council Secretary Jn Which
He Tells of the Ctastrophe Lord
Incensed at the Attitude of the
People, Is His Relief.
Col. Z. P. Smith, editor of the Ameri
can, has received a letter from Herman
Paine, state council secretary of the
Junior Order United American Mechan
ics of Oakland, in which he gives a
graphic account of the destruction of
San Francisco. He makes an urgent
appeal for relief of the members in the
stricken city, saying that their wants
are many and that eastern states are
expected to help.
The letter from Mr. Paine was writ
ten on April .20, at a time when tha
-most terrible scenes were witnessed at
the Golden Gate. He tells of a woman
refugee who walked through the ruins
and who afterward landed in Oakland
in a most horrible plight. She had a
dead baby in each arm, while her hus
band was left behind, a victim of the
earthquake.
"While I am proud of the members of
the Junior Order," writes Mr. Paine, "In
this state and California Itself, I must
say that San Francisco was a city
which was known as a wide open town.
Any and everything was permitted by
the authorities until, if such a thing as
the Lord destroying a city for its wick
edness is possible, I personally believe
such to be the fate of San Francisco,
for it is certainly completely destroyed,
along with many of its people."
Mr. Paine says that he has been un
able to gain entrance into San Fran
cisco, the militia refusing him admit
tanne. He urges the orders in all states
to contribute, and needless to say they
will respond to the appeal.
