Removes Disability of West Point
Men Who Wore
the Gray.
Advocated in Speech by Northern
Republican and Is Passed
Unanimously.
???
The House of Representative? wiped
away one more of the bitter memories
left -by the civil war by passing a meas
| ure yesterday which takes from the
I statute books a law prohibiting- the pay
| ment of accounts and claims to any one
j who encouraged or favored the "rebel
| lion." The bill was presented in the
House under the suspension of the rules
yesterday by Representative Graham, a
republican from a northern state. Penn
sylvania. and after his short speech, the
bill went through unanimously, and Mr.
Graham was besieged by southern men
who left their places to shake hands with
him.
To -Remove War Bitterness.
Representative Graham's speech fol
lows:
"The bill is intended to repeal section
3480 of the Revised Statutes, which Im
posed a penalty upon those men, gradu
ates of West Point, who served In the
Confederacy. It included among the roll
names like those of Lee, Jackson,
Wheeler and Pickett, a long line of hon
orable and brave men.
"We all know, for I can just remember
that period, when the war closed, the bit
terness of feeling that existed, and natur
ally existed, and existed upon both sides,
with reference to each other. Out of
that spirit came this punitive statute.
Things ha\?e changed since then. The
half century and more which has passed
has brought together the warring com
batants of Gettysburg to weep and cheer
in unison upon that fateful field.
"I had the privilege and pleasure of at
tending at Arlington the scenes incident
to the dedication of a beautiful Con
federate monument, erected in a govern
ment burial place, dedicated to the
soldiers and men of the south who fought
against and who lie side by side with
the Union soldiers of that war. Memorial
day has Just passed, with all its hallow
ed associations and memories. In the
beginning every flower that fell upon a
soldier's grave was drenched with grief
and perhaps touched with bitterness. But
here again the scene changes; we of the
north began to better understand the
men of the South and they of the South
to understand us; soon we saw northern
attendants upon this ceremony decorat
ing graves of Confederate dead, and then
the chivalrous people' of the south re
sponding in like spirit and decorating the
graves of Union soldiers.
Scenes of Reconciliation.
?
"We have witnessed within a very few
months scenes of reconciliation, harmony 1
and love at Gettysburg, and frequently
noted men on one side surrendering to
men on the other side the battle nags
which were torn from each other in the
heat of battle.
"I feel that the spirit of the immortal
Lincoln is invoking us in the exercise
of our better selyes to play upon those
?mystic chords of memory' today. Let
us unanimously, if it may, wipe from
the statute books this penalty, the off
spring of the feelings which the bitter
strife of war engendered and left now
for more than half a century upon the
statute books of the nation. Thjs will
promote a finer feeling everywhere,
north and south. He who gives is
twice blessed; he who receives has the
spirit of gratitude created. I could
read from a number of letters' here,
but will only quote from one, from no
less distinguished a person than the
widow of that brave, grand soldier of the
Confederacy. 'Stonewall' Jackson. Speak
ing of this movement, she said:
" 'It creates a feeling of gratitude in
my heart that you, a northern man,
should advocate the passage of this
bill.'
Duty for Northern Man.
"No one but a northern man should
advocate its passage, but every man
with red blood, whether from the north
or from the south, should vote to pass
the bill and thus help to eliminate one
of the last vestiges of those things
which make a distinction between the
men of the north and the men of the
south. 'Fighting Joe' Wheeler and
Fitzhugh Lee put on the uniform of the
nation and fought under the Stars and
Stripes in the Spanish war. The de
scendants of these very people from
whom we are removing this penalty
also served their country and showed
their willingness to die in her defense.
Surely under such circumstances Con
gress should ungrudgingly and cheer
fully wipe this penalty away, and sav:
'In this act we speak for the eternal
concord and unity o$ our country.'
'Such acts, such thoughts, such senti
ments will make us repeat the scene I
once witnessed in a southern city. I
walked through a graveyard and I found
the tombstones marked with the names of
men from this state of the-south and that
state of the north and other states from
all over the Union. Soldiers of these
states had met to battle for New Orleans
and to save her from the British army in
the war of 1812. That scene will be re
peated perhaps, who knows, in the history
of our country when we war with some
foreign foe, and the men of the north
and the men of the south, one in heart,
one in courage, one in valor, will vie
with each other in defense of every city
and every foot of land in our blessed re
public. Side by side, one in patriotism,
one in loyalty, one in death, those who
fall may He like they do todav in the
old graveyard at New Orleans.1' "
JOSEPH HARPER HONORED.
Portrait of First Clerk of Juvenile
Court Is Hung in Office.
A portrait of the late Joseph Harper,
who was the first clerk of Juvenile Court,
was hunt' in the elerje's office at the
court yesterday. The hanging of the
portrait resulted from a move started by
Judge Latimer and Tracy L. Jeffords, an
attorney.
Judge Latimer said he thought it would
be very appropriate to have a large
portrait of the first clerk of the cburt
hung In tl>e office of the clerk of the
court.
"His very efficient and conscientious
work during the early years of the
court's history is. I am sure, appreci
ated by all who knew him and were
familiar with the conditions under which
he labored." Judge Latimer wrote of Mr.
Harper.
Tracy I.. Jeffords. F. Bdward Mitchell
and George F. Williams were members
of the committee In charge and con
tributors included many leading mem
bers of the bar.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Jeffords made
the presentation speech, and Judge
I .a timer accepted the portrait. The court
directed that a record of the presenta
tion be made part of the records of the
court and directed adjournment as a
mark of respect to the memory of the
deceased.

j In the tragic story of 'Camille.' by
Alexander Duma?, the younger, the Poll
Players this week are winning the warm
approval of their admirers, using the
Margaret Anglin-Henry Miller version as
their vehicle. Miss Izetta Jewel s success
in the title role was plainly evident in the
sympathy she wrung from last night s
audience in the biu: emotional scenes. Im
personating the "light o' love of Paris,
who for years had been the toast of the
pleasure devotees, she gave a tense emo
tional performance that kept many in the
audience on tho verge of tears, and in
the thrilling climax when Miss Marie
Carroll, as Nichette, the bride, appeared
at the death bed, Miss Jewel was es
pecially effective. Her make-up for the
part of Marguerite Gauthier, the famous
French beauty, was excellent, and appro
priate costumes and a profligacy of jew
els lent irresistible conviction to the s
spirit of her role. j
Richard Buhler won approval as the
impassioned lover. Armand Duval. His
susceptibility to jealousy, his efforts to
throw off suspicion, his abandon of joy ;
in the love scenes wi th Camille were
all excellent, and he awoke to the full ;
measure of denunciation and revenge in
the climax of the fourth act. when he I
cast from him, scorned, denounced and j
cursed, the woman he !>elicved had de
ceived and abandoned him.
Miss Helen Tracy as Mine. Prudence,
in a consistent and amusing portrayal, tit
her role splendidly. Miss Marie Carroll
was pleasing and artless as a bride with
her huge bouquet of white daisies, and
her youthful JoyouB presence heightened
artistltcally the contrast to the emaciated
beauty of Camille. She was ably sec
onded by Russell Filmore, as M. Gustave.
Stanley James, his customary self in
the presentation of Gaston Rleux, was
applauded repeatedly, and Miss Juliet
Fremont exemplified gratitude and the
humble love of the faithful maid credi
tably.
The entire cast was well rounded out
with Frank Shannon, as the Count de
Varille: William D. Corbett, as M. Duval;
Miss Louise Kent as Mile. Olympe. and
Cecil Bowser, as tlie messenger..
Colombia.
"Prince Karl" proved a delightfully
droll companion for a capacity audience
at the Columbia Theater last night.
Though presented often in Washington,
first by Richard Mansfield and his com
pany, and later by stock companies, the
comedy seems to have lost none of its
appeal to the risibilities and to the heart.
The very contrast of its humor with i
those of more modern plays seemed re- j
freshing and afforded an added interest ?
to those who find in such revivals oppor- !
tunity to study the advances?perhaps j
some will claim only whimsical changes? i
made by the stage in the last decade or ]
two.
In their performance the Columbia I
Players emphasized the strong vein of I
farce that runs throughout the four acts, j
Though the action was slow in starting. 1
it was kept going later at the high speed |
that farce requires, except when the I
laughter of the audience checked it. The ;
disguise of the Prince as a courier, a '
disguise taken because the noble Karl ;
found it impossible to carry through a :
marriage of financiaj necessity and to j
give up the girl he loved, is the basis for j
the greater part of the fun. The girl j
he loves humbles the pride of the Prince i
and affords keen delight to the audience ;
by commanding him, as courier, to per- !
form all sorts of menial tasks. There is J
much trouble, too, over a fortune, a j
forgery and a couple of fakers, but love j
finally triumphs over all of them.
Mr. Van Buren made a dashing Prince I
Karl, his blond hair and mustache being |
in keeping with the German character, j
and his vivacity maintaining the action ;
at high speed. Miss Dorothy Bernard;
was a charming Mrs. Florence Arhmien
Lowell. She portrayed the American
heiress with ease, and was of material
assistance to Mr. Van Buren in her vivac
ity. Miss Julia Blanc excited many hearty
laughs as Mrs. Daphne Lowell, the
mother-in-law of the heiress and the de
signing woman in search of a title. Wil
lard Robertson found opportunity for his
capabilities in the portrayal of J. Cool
Dragon, the Chicago lawyer. It was one
of his best roles this season. John M. \
Kline was easy and effective as usual, as
Spartan Spotts, ex-bankrupt, and Jessie
Glendening as Alicia Lowell, Everett But
terfield as Howard Briggs and George
Darrell as Markey Davis gave adequate
support. The play was, as usual, excel
lently mounted and staged.
Cosmos.
Genuine artistry and entertaining mer
riment characterize a bill of superior
vaudeville at the Cosmos Theater tills
week. Among the best numbers are the
famous Castaluccl Septet, with their
elaborate classical and popular instru-;
mental offerings on brass, string, wood'
and wind instruments: Allie White, a
comely violinist of ability in a blend of
classical and popular selections, with
accompanying dances, and Nellie Brew
ster and company. In a new and clever
sketch entitled "Putting It Over." In
which well sung songs are interpolated
by Miss Brewster. The big hit of the
show seems to be Chester Spencer and
L>ola Williams, whose home Is in this
city. In a blend of laughable comedy by
Mr. Spencer, pretty songs, prettily sung
by Miss Williams, and some graceful
dancing by both. Alvin and Williams
also share well in the applause for a song
offering, accompanied with jolly Jokes,
and Harry Carpenter gives a graceful
roller skating exhibition quite opt of the
ordinary. Tomorrow and Friday evening
the country store will be an added at
traction and Thursftlav four new acts
will be presented, with the Hearst-Selig
news pictures In place of the Pathe
Weekly, besides the usual comedy photo
plays.
Crandall's.
Three stellar attractions were shown at
Crandall's Theater yesterday. The Selig
four-part drama, "The Royal Box, ' after j
the play of the English actor-author, ,
Charles Coghlan. in which his daughter.
Miss Gertrude Coghlan, is featured; Guy (
Coombs, in the two-part Kalem drama, ,
'Through the Flames." and the Selig
comedy, "Doctor Yak and the l?ast
Mail." "The Royal Box" will be re
peated again today. Tomorrow the Selig
four-tfart thrilling masterpiece, " The Lily
of the Valley," or the "Evangel of the
Toilers." will be shown for the first time
here. A musical program is rendered by
Prof. Green's Orchestra.
Garden.
At Moore's Garden Theater the attrac
tion that drew large audiences yesterday
was a new film creation entitled "Woe to
the Conqueror." The story is built around
an exciting Incident in the Balkan war.
many of the scenes haying been photo- ,
graphed on the spots where some ..f the ]
fiercest engagements took place. Foi the

EIGHTEEN ARE INDICTED
FOR RAILROAD FINANCING
Charles S. Mellen Among Those
Named in Massachu
setts.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June .30.?Eight
een persons, including Charles S. Mellen,
former president of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford and the Boston and
Maine railroad companies; Frederick S.
Moseley of F. S. Moseley & Co., Boston
brokers: the late Ralp^h D. Gillett of
Westfleld, and the investment committees
of two savings banks of this city, were
indicted yesterday by the Middlesex coun
ts grand jury on various charges in
connection with the financing of the
Hampden railroad, from Bondsville to
Springfield. Mr. Gillett was president of
the Hampden railroad corporation.
The railroad was built a year ago as
a link to connert the central Massa
chusetts division of the Boston and
Maine with the New York. New Haven
and Hartford railroad, but has neverj
been operated, an attempt to obtain the
legislature's consent to its lease to the
Boston and Maine having failed.
Accused of Conspiracy.
The indictments against Messrs. Mellen,
Moseley and Gillett allege conspiracy, to
induce the investment committees of the
two banks to lend a total of $45,000 to
the corporation. The notes securing the
loans were Indorsed by the Hampden
Investment Company, organized by Mr.
Gillett to finance the construction of the
railroad, which cost approximately $4,
000.000.
The investment committee of the
East Cambridge Savings Bank is in
dicted on three counts of conspiracy to
lend sums of $20,000, $16,000 and $5,000
to the Hampden Railroad Company.
Those indicted are Gustavus Goepper,
James Ferguson, David C. Proud foot,
Charles W. Daley and Frederick B.
Wheeler. These indictments charge
that the Hampden Investment Com
pany was not a substantial surety or
indorser of the notes of the railroad
corporation given to the bank.
Committeemen Named.
Similar indictments were returned
against the Investment committee of
the Cambridge Savings Bank, the
amounts named being $25,000, $25,000,
$22,500 and $20,250. The committee of
this bank consists of Edward R. Cogs
well, Enoch Beane, James F. Pennell,
Harrie E. Mason and Leslie N. Brock.
Frederick S. Moseley was indicted
also on six counts, involving the al
leged larceny of sums amounting to
?112,500 from the banks, and Mr. Mel
len was indicted as an accessory be
fore the fact on five of these counts.
Ten other counts allege that Mellen,
Moseley and Gillett "conspired to steal
and did steal" various amounts in
volved in the transactions with the two
banks. Members of the Moseley broker
age firm, including Sewell H. Fessen
den, Neal Rantoul, Stephen R. Crow
ley, Benjamin P. Moseley and William
S. Clough. were indicted on eight
counts charging conspiracy to steal.
Only $45,000 Loaned.
District Attorney Corcoran said tonight
that the actual amount loaned by the
two banks to the Hampden railroad cor
poration was only $45,000, tout as each
of the notes had been renewed several
times, a separate indictment had been [
returned for each renewal.
"I cannot conceive how any one can j
sax* that I had any connection with this >
matter," said Charles S. Mellen last j
night.
"I cannot understand how my name has
