G. A. R. Controversy Continues
to Grow More Interesting
An Interesting discussion has arisen
in the ranks of the local G. A. R. Camy
which gives promise of even extending
further than 1 has thus far, and;
friends of the veterans are watching
thp nnlcnmn with nrt littlft interest. E.
R. Ward claims," and attempts to show,!
that he is the duly elected commander,
while Virgil Dillingham, who holds
authority from the department com
mander, says that Mr. Ward's claims
are unsupported by fact and that his
right to hold the position is not sound.;
Mr. Ward issued a command to vet
erans of this camp to assemble at the
city hall for the exercises on Sunday
afternoon while Mr. Dillingham
issued an order that all veterans as
semble for service at the Christian
church on Sunday afternoon at five
o'clock. The pastor of this church,
Rev. Mr. Webber has accepted an invi
tation, extended through Mr. Dilling
ham, to attend and take part in the me
morial services to be held May 30 t
the national cemetery, Fftrt Barrancas.
Just what arrangements In this direc
tion has been arranged by the other
"faction" has not been announced.
In a story appearing in the city press
a day or two ago, Mr. Ward, eigning
as commander, summons the members
of W. T. Sherman Post No. 21 to the
memorial Sunday afternoon, and in the
course of the signed notice Mr. Ward
undertakes to prove that Mr. Dilling
ham has no aothority to arrange a cel
ebration or memorial at a church.
which he did not name.
llr, Dillingham's Statement. 1
To this notice, Mr. Dillingham writes
The Journal; "E. R. Ward states that
Virgil Dillingham misrepresented him
to the dapartment commander. It is
false, and not true. A good soldier
always obeys his superior officer. The
department commander ordered E. R.
Ward to turn over all books and reo
ords to W. T. Sherman Post No. 21, to
the acting adjutant of the. post. He re
fused to do bo. He refused to obey
his superior officer (a poor soldier.)
He also states that I have Interfered
with the program arranged by W. T.
Sherman Post No. 21 for next Sunday.
I say it is also false. E. R. Ward has
no right to make arrangements for W.
T. Sherman Post by order of the de
partment commander. He says that I
am interfering with the memorial day
program, which I say is also false. The
fact is, a committee of W. T. Sherman
Post had made arrangements for the
memorial exercises before. He used the
G. A. R. without authority, and he
knew at the time he had no such au
thority. He also states that he was
elected commander of W. T. Sherman
Post by vote of its members. That Is
false also. At his call a special meet
ing was held for the election of officers
E. R. Ward received only one vote for
commander, and I suppose that was
his own ballot If the comrades had
wanted him they -would have votea for
him at. a, subsequent meeting. With
three or four members of the Post that
I had never seen in the room since 1
have been a member of the Post (ex
cepting one), he had himself elected as
commander, and now he claims he has
the authority and made arrangements
ror the programs and will carry them
out. The department commander says
ne nas not the authority and has or
dered me to take charge of W. T.
Sherman Post No. 21 and I shall do so.
and will also have charge of the Memo
rial day exercises. I request that all
G. A. R. men ignore any orders which
may be issued by E. R. Ward.'
Mr. Ward, the other man In the con
troversy, brought to The Journal of
fice last night the following summar
ized statement, which he requested to
mane puDiic:
Ir. Ward's Statement. -To
the G. A. R. and the public:
Mr. V. P. Dillingham has seen fit to
criticise my former statement to the
pubMo In the evening paper. There
was a special meeting of the W. T.
Sherman Post called for January 15, for
ine election of officers, five members
being present. Mr. Dillingham was
elected as commander and asked me to
serve as Junior vice commander. I In
formed .the comrades I would accept no
office as I had served the previous
y$ars. Mr. Dillingham was quite in
dignant by my not accepting the office
named, and said he would not have
anything more to do with the post and
demanded his withdrawal card. Those
present were Comrades Robert Gray.
a. t,anaseuer, wm. Brown and myself.
As soon as r could get the rtnilatin
blanks from the department, I made
one out ana gave it to him. It lacked
the signature of Adjutant Brown. I in
formed him he saw Brown oftener than
I did and ha could get him to slim it
The next regular meeting was held at
the court house Tuesday, February 4,
and the following officers were elected:
E. R. Ward, commander; P. B. Eldrige,
senior vice commander; Robert Gray
Junior vice commander; w. N. Harter,
adjutant; M. Fitzgibbon, quartermaster
They were all present, and were mus-
lerea in. Mr. Brown came in before
necuon Dui would not stay. Since
February 4, Dillingham and Brown hvp
tried everything to break up the post.
ana are in a lair way to succeed. Dil
lragham says he never saw them in th
post room. The public can form their
own opinion. I say he has secured the
order or temporary commander hv nn
fair means, and have written th iot.

Nine Men Killed
In Burning Mine
Charleston, W. Va., May 22. Nine
miners who were, caught behind a
wall of fire when the main entry of
the Mill Creek Channel Coal Mining
Company's coal mine at Villa, W. Va.,
burst Into flames from some unde
termined cause last Monday. were
found dead in the workings today.
The bodies of four of their com
panions were recovered . yesterday.
The men when they discovered
their escape had . been shut oft by the
flames had gone far back into the
workings and there attempted to
brattice a room In the hope of shut
ting off gas which they know would
quickly fill the mine.- They were un
successful and the condition of the
bodies Indicated they had been dead
for many hours. The. men found yes
terday had apparently been overcome
soon after the workings took. fire.
Rescue crews from all the mines in
the adjacent field worked. In relays
from the time the alarm was sounded
on Monday until the discovery today,
forcing an entrance through an old
opening which allowed them to get
back of the burning section. They
were reinforced last night by a rescue
car and crew of the federal bureau

TIL OF DENTIST
IS FEATURED BY
'S EVIDENCE
RICHMOND. Va., May .22. Dr. W. F.
Williams of a hospital in Wilson, N.
C. where Dr. Lemuel J. Johnson was
taken after attempting to kill himself
in that town following the deatft oi nis
bride, whom he is charged with mur
dering, was recalled as a witness when
the young dentist's trial was resumed
here this morning.
Dr.- Williams was asked If Dr. John
son told him why he removed the name
plate from his wife's coffin. The name
plate, a cluster of faded flowers, and
other articles were found In Johnson's
grip in Wilson. The witness said Dr.
Johnson said it was customary in
Richmond to remove the plate and pte-
serve it
Mrs. George E. Knight, mother of the
dead girl was called' to the stand next.
She said 6hc saw Johnson for the first
time in February or March 1917 when
her daughter accompanied him to the
Knight home.
In July Dr. Johnson asked Mrs. Knight
for her daughter's hand In marrlag'j
the witness said. He told me they loved
each other and wanted to know ir l nam
any objections to making, a Tarheel
out of Alice. I talked the .matter over
with him, saying I would not object if (
they felt their happiness depended on
it. '
In August, she said, Johnson told her
he had been summoned for military
duty and wanted to marry Alice at
once. Mrs. Knight objected to a mar
riage untjl Johnson had learned wheth
er or not he would be compelled to
serve in the army.
Mrs. Knight first knew of the mar
riage on the evening of September 18
when Alice and Dr. Johnson entered
the house together and Johnson exhib
ited a certificate showing they had
been married that day.
"Dr. Johnson asked me to keep the
marriage a secret" said Mrs. Knight,
"but I refused, saying we had no secrets
in our home and that I would tell ev
erybody I knew about the marriage and
would advise Alice to do the same. In
explaining the reason for secrecy he
explained that his father wanted him
to marry an old maid school teacher in
North Carolina.
"Dr. Johnson said he did not want
his father to turn against him until he
was established in his profession.
Mrs. Knight testified Dr. Johnson told
her that he had coaxed Alice to marry
him and that he would do his best to
make her happy. The witness told of
Dr. Johnson's practice of writing to his
bride from North Carolina by other
than her married name.
