BANDS PLAY DIXIE AND
CONFEDERATES PARADE
WASHINGTON', D. C., June 7.—
Today was southern day in the na
tional capital when rebel veterans
marched down Pennsylvania Ave.
while the bands played Dixie with
dash and vim.
The borders of the Avenue were
lined with cheering thousands who
probably gave the rebel veterans
as enthusiastic a reception as they
ever received frcm any city of the
solid south.
The entire causeway was ablaze
with stars and stripes and stars ana
bars in honor of the veterans.
President Wilson reviewed the
paraders who in spite of their ad
vancing years present quite a mar
tial appearance as they marched
long.
Afterwards President Wilson ad
dressed the confederate veterans
and spoke with emphasis upon the
national unity that had sprung
from the civil war.
He paid a great compliment to
the bravery and chivalry of the
south in the past but. be felt secure
in the belief that today the southern
men and women would be as will
ing to sacrifice themselves in the
cause of duty as their fathers and
mothers had been in those days ot
civil war, as they had honestly seen
their duty call them.
The great reception that was
given the veterans evidently de
lighted the old warriors and they
were all smiles as they marched
down the Avenue.

CLAIMS WHOLE LOT
MAY GET LITTLE

Great local interest is aroused in
the claim of Miss Charlotte Jones,
a woman lawyer of Seattle, who
claims that Goat Island, San Fran

BABY STILL
JS MISSING
SPFilNGFIELD, Mo., June 7.—
The Keets’ baby lad is still missing.
Eight additional arrests have been
made charged with being party to
the kidnapping. It is understood
that the police have now practically
discovered the entire conspiracy but
so far have been unable to locate the
boy.
The parents are unstrung com
pletely and the mother is now in a
serious condition from prostration.
The mystery is being slowly un
ravelled, said detectives in charge
of the work. It is a local plot and
the facts arc said to be sensational.
TEN JURORS IN
SAX FRANCISCO, June 7.—As a
result of three whole days work two
more jurors were successfully quali
fied In the trial of Rena Mooney,
and today when court adjourned
almost at six o'clock, there were ten
permanent jurors and no more.
At this rate it would be Mon
day evening before the final juror
would be qualified, but if the jury
is not made out tomorrow, an all
night session is likely to he ordered
by the court.
The talesmen are being subjected
to a severe examination by both
sides and a state of armed neutral
ity evidently exists between attor
neys for the defense and for tho
prosecution.
Interest in the proceedings never
flags.
