Chattanooga, Tenn. Preparations
for the entertainment of. the 47th na
tional encampment of G. A. R. in Sep
tember are going ahead at satisfac
tory speed. Nearly all of the commit
tees have pushed their work to a point
vhere it may be said that all plans
will be carried through without so
much as a serious hitch. The finance
committee, which has been at work se
curing funds necessary to finance the
lug undertaking, reports that the mon
ey i.3 in hand or in sight; '.that there
will be no trouble over payment of the
b ":1s of the encampment association.
The committee on assignments to
homes has met with success in the
m itter of securing lodging for a very
large crowd of visitors during the en
campment. The people of Chattanooga
ire opening their homes to veterans
mJ visitors with the same hospitality
that marked their action when the
confederate survivors met in annual
reunion here in May. The same rates
that prevailed during the Confederate
Judge Alfred Beers, of Bridgeport,
Conn., Commander-in-Chief cf the
Grand Army of the Republic.
reunion will prevail during the en
campment of the Grand Army of the
republic These rates are in all in
stances reasonable. There will be no
effort to increase rates for lodging or
meals anywhere in the city. In other
words, the regular rates for meals and
lodging will be charged by hotels, res
taurants and boarding houses. The
best homes of Chattanooga Jiave open
ed their doors to entertain visitors and
veterans alike at rates that will not be
objected to by any.
Amusement Features.
The committee on entertainment has
perfected a number of plans to amuse
and entertain the visitors. As already
announced, a number of battlefield re
unions have been arranged for the. vet
erans who fought in the various battles
around Chattanooga. These reunion:
include the fields of Chickamauga,
Lookout mountain " and -'Missionary
ridge, on which the survivors" will
gather in reunion and hear the inci
dents oJC each" battle recounted by par
ticipants. : - '
The Tennessee river Will furnish
part of the entertainment. One of the
best features will be hydro-aeroplane
exhibitions on the Tennessee. These
will be supplemented by:: steamboat
rides to a large hydro-electric develop
ment below the city that vms financed
by the late Anthony N. Brady, of New
York. This is the largest hydro-electric
development south :' of Niagara
Falls. There will also be automobile
trips to large hydro-electric develop
ments by the East Tennessee Power
Co., on the Ocoee river, thirty miles
east of Chattanooga. " ; .
Military features by regular troops
will add much to the entertainment of
the encampment visitors,.-These will
be furnished at Fort OgVethorpe, by
the Eleventh cavalry regiment, and
.. the Seventeenth infantry, the latter
regiment coming up from ; Atlanta for
the encampment week. :r: .
Aeroplane flights will be given every
day of the encampment, and many oth
er interesting features will be added
from time to" tme.- The indications
are Jthat there will not be a dull day
during the entire encampment week
oecause Chattanooga has "already de
cided to give the Union,; veterans th
time of their lives. :
BRYAN SAVES BILL
APPEAL TO CAUCUS DEFEAT8
AMENDMENT TO PROHIBIT IN
TERLOCKING DIRECTORATES.
RESOLUTION WINS 130 TO 60
Change In Currency Measure, Over
Which Fight Waged, Was Offered
by ' Representative Neeley of. Kan
sas Hearings In, Senate. .."
Washington, Aug. 25. Representa
tives who support the administration
currency bill won" a victory in the
house Democratic caucus on Friday
when they brought to their aid an un
qualified indorsement of the m&iBure
from Secretary of State Bryan and de
feated proposed "insurgent" amend
ments that would have prohibited in
terlocking directorates in national or
state banks incorporated under the
proposed law.
Secretary Bryan, in a letter ad
dressed to Chairman Carter Glass of
the currency committee, approved the
bill as it stands, declaring President
Wilson had recognized .fundamental
rights of popular control in its provi
sions. He asserted that the plank of
the Democratic platform against inter
locking directorates was aimed chiefly
at trusts, and ha urged Democrs.ts to
"stand by the president," and not to
load down the currency bill with any
amendments that might endanger tis
early passage. ,
Fortified with the backing of one of
the makers of the Baltimore platform.
Representatives Glass and Underwood
met the demand for an amendment
to prohibit interlocking directorates
with a counter proposal that the Dem
ocrats of the house take up general
legislation against interlocking direc
torates at the next session. -A resolu
tion by Representative Underwood.
adopted by a vot9 of 130 - to to, re
ferred the entire subject tfirthe Demo
cratic members of the judiciary com
mittee of the house, and directed them
to bring in a bill at the next session of
congress that would prevent interlock
ing directorates of all kinds.
Administration leaders said the
large vote that supported the Under
wood motion and the hearty approval
that greeted Secretary Bryan'n in
dorsement of the bill assured the ap
proval of the complete Glass bill with
but slight jehange. There remains
several important amendments to be
considered, but it was declared that
the only modification of consequence
would be a change to make it clear
that agricultural paper will be given
the same credit as commercial or in
dustrial paper.
The amendment over. which thi fight
waged throughout the day had ' been
offered by Representative Neeley of
Kansas, one of the so-called "insurg
ent" members of the banking and cur
rency committee. " It was . not until
near the close of the session that
Chairman Glass, after declaring that
President Wilson did not want such
an amendment incorporated . in. the
bill, brought forth the Bryan letter.
He also produced a letter addressed
to him by Samuel Untermyer, who
was counsel for the Pujo money trust
committee, saying he did not believe
the interlocking directorate provision
should be in the currency bill. "
Objecting members who had ques
tioned Mr. Glass interpretation of the
president's attitude gave way before
the vigorous assertions of Secretary
Bryan, and a vote quickly settled the
question, r

Roger Thompson Held in- Canada Jail
to Reveal Everything Unless
Fugitive's Family Aids Him.
Thompson, the New - York chauffeur
held under 'the dominion immigration
laws as having aided Harry K. Thaw
legally a lunatic, to cross the Cana
dian frontier, announced from his cell
Friday that he wa3 "up against it"
and that if the . Thaw family did not

In justice to himself, be forced to tell
all he knows about Thaw's escape
from Matteawan. If he does "squeal"
It will complicate the proceedings un
der which Thaw's lawyers hope to ob
tain his release on a writ of habeas
corpus next Wednesday.
Thompson removed the smoked eye
glasses he has worn since his ar
rest and admitted that the name "Mit
chell Thompson," he had given the
authorities was fictitious and that he
was the chauffeur who drove the
black machine which whisked . Stan
ford White's slayer away from Mattea

Thaw, In a cell above "Gentleman
Roger," refused even to admit he ever
had seen him.
It was admitted by the chauffeur
that the Thaws retained lawyers for

him - (Thompson) to "keep hiB trap

Instructions have been sent from
t
Ottawa to. the immigration officers
here that when Harry K. Thaw comes
into tneir nands there must be . no
discrimination against him. This' was
officially announced at. the capital, ac-'
cording to dispatches, though the
authorities hee would not confirm it
There is reason to believe that the
