Pittsburgh, Pa., July 9.--Criminal prosecutions are expected as a result •, of the suspension on Monday of the 'First-Second National bank of Pitts­ burgh, {>ne of the largest financial in­ stitutions in the country, of which W. £k Kuhn is president. The bank had deposits of more than $30,000,000. Tha circumstance on which the probable prosecutions are based is the discrepancy of nearly $2,000,000 between the sworn report to the comptroller of the currency as to the bank's condition on June 4 and what should have been a true copy of this report published in the Pittsburgh newspapers. , The closing of the First-Second ' bank was followed by action in rapid series against various other interests with which the Kuhns are identified. During the day there was a run on the Pittsburgh Bank for 8avings, a large Institution, of which J. S. Kuhn is president. Then came the closing of the First National bank of McKeesport, an adjacent city, which Is closely allied to the First-Second of Pittsburg. Soon afterwards a re­ ceiver was appointed for the banking house of J. S. & W. S. Kuhn, incoi^ porated. Greatest of all disasters in this tre­ mendous financial crash, however, was the receivership for the Ameri­ can waterworks and Guarantee com- pany, the largest concern of its kind the country, of which J. S. Kuhn 1b president. This corporation con- 0* trols water-works plants in about , eighty cities and towns In the Unl- J ted States, and the capital stock of the various controlled companies aY>- proximates $73,000,000. ' The one condoling feature of the * situation was a reassuring statement • sent out from Washington by Secre- ; tary of the Treasury McAdoo, in which he declared that the general ^ ^banking condition in Pittsburgh, as y r well as in the entire country, was IJ strong and sound, and that he ex- p pected no further trouble as a result of the failure. WU LAWYER PASSES THE "BUCK" r •' \ Lauterbach Says That 8tory He Had Influence at Washington Was W Merely an "Exaggeration." 1^, ^W^shington, July 9.--Edward Lau- terbaph confessed to the Overman v lobby inquiry committee on Tuesday that he had told Lewis Cass Ledyard that he was able to prevent or head • * < , off the confessional investigation of the steel trust Lauterbach admitted that when he told Ledyard of coming to Washington "to look over the situation" he had , actually seen no member of the house or senate nor any other official. He 4^ said he had learned "that President < : Taft was opposed to the investiga-. tlon" from Lamar and Henry B. Mar * tin, secretary of the Anti-Trust . league. i "Then your statement to Ledyard that you had been to Washington and • learned thingB that prompted you to Bay the investigation could be stopped was a falsehood?" demanded Senatoi ; Reed. "It was as exaggeration," replied Lauterbach. The witness* declared that in his • i conversation with Ledyard February V- 6,. a year ago, he did not represent himself either to have seen or to have been in 'the confidence of any faember of the Democratic party. A sensational scene was enacted <•'. before the committee when Reed thought he detected Lamar prompting Mr. Lauterbach. Pointing a finger at ..... Lamar the senator shouted: "I want this prompting stopped and if it Isn't stopped I will send you to - Jail. Let us have no more of it." I*•• His nerves on raw elge, Lauter­ bach himself leaped from his seat , "I am an American citizen," he shouted, "and I demand all the rights - of such." A moment later Lauterbach cried: "Mr. Morgan has seen fit to char- acterise me as vermin. I demand this committee call him as a witness here and ask him about the efforts of Mr. Ledyard to ruin me." v. I That woman played a prominent part in the greatest battle of the Civil war that was fought just fifty years ago', is apt to be forgotten until a mute reminder such as is seen in the photograph is brought to our at* tention. Fifty years back is a long time to remember, yet here one of those who fought under the stars and bara, five decades -ago, is greeting one of the women nurses and one of the few remaining ones whose husband was the comrade In arms of the grizzled-old veteran. OF The great reunion of the blue and the gray on the battlefield of Gettys­ burg has passed into history. It was ix> all respects the most unique gath- ei^ng of the soldierB of the 60's ever held. Men who fought each other fifty years ago this year fraternized as long-separated brothers. Naturally such a gathering would be productive of many incidents, both pathetic and humorous. As many stories were floating about as there were veterans at the reunion. The camp is full of unexpected meetings. Every day brings forth nu­ merous meetings between men who have not seen one another for many years. Many are commonplace, but some are extraordinary. For in­ stance, here 1b one: I. D. Munsee of Erie county, Penn­ sylvania, a soldier In the 111th Penn­ sylvania, was captured by the con­ federates at Peachtree Creek, Ga.. when he was one of Sherman's army on the celebrated march to the sea. He was being conveyed to the rear by a confederate soldier when the union batteries opened fire upon the party among whom he was a pris­ oner. The man who was guarding Munsee was hit and fell, knocking Munsee down and lying on top of him. Seeing his chance of escape, Mun­ see lay very still under the uncon­ scious confederate while the battle raged around them. That night he slipped from under the body and es­ caped to the union lines. "I thought that fellow was dead," said Munsee, "but I saw him today. Poor fellow, his mind's bad, and he didn't recognize me, but I was sure of him. I couldn't eveu net his name, but I'm gdln over later to the Georgia camp and try to find out who he Is."

To Operate on Jack Lendon. • San Francisco, Cal., July 9 ---Sur­ geons at the Merritt hospital In Oak­ land have decided to operate on Jack Ixmdon, the author, for appendicitis. Dr. W. S. PoHer said that London var In excellent condition: Here Is a story which was told by A. T. Dice, vice-president of the Read­ ing railway: Once upon a time there were a vet­ eran In gray and a veteran in blue. They came to Gettysburg and in the course of events and visits to hotels they happened to meet. They looked over the sights of Gettysburg and the monuments of the field. But they found they must part. The one in blue lived in Oregon; the one In gray in New Orleans. They went weeping together to their sta­ tion and passed by train after train, deferring the parting that must come. JuBt what they said, just how they reached the final grand idea of the meeting. Mr. Dice did not know. But, however, yesterday they finally decided that the time for parting had come. The one from Oregon could not figure how to reach home via New Orleans and his gray comrade, while willing to see the west, didn't have the money for a ticket. They lined upon on the platform as their trains stood waiting and then before the crowd, they slowly stripped off their uniforms and exchanged them there while the curious flocked to see them. The Oregonlan who came proudly to town with a coat of blue, went as proudly away with one of gray and the veteran from Louisiana who boast­ ed the gray of the south sat with swelling chest in his new uniform of bine. A striking contrast is seen in the menu provided for the soldiers fifty years ago and what they enjoyed this year: 1863--Breakfast--Hardtack, bacon, beans and coffee. Dinner--Bacon, beans, hardtack and coffee. Supper--Beans, hardtack, bacon and coffee. 1913--Breakfast--Puffed rice, fried eggs, fried bacon, cream potatoes, fresh bread, hard bread, butter and coffee. < Dinner -- Fricassee chicken, peas, corn, ice cream, cake, cigars, fresh bread, hard bread, butter,'coffee, laed tea. Supper -- Salmon salad, macaroni and cheese, fresh bread, butter and coffee. Chief Clerk George O. Thorne of the state department at Harrieburg told of this call made by a Union vet­ eran early on the morning of the fif­ tieth anniversary of the start of the battle, who related that hiB conscience troubled him because of the fact that on that fateful morning many years ago he had succumbed to temptation and stolen <a quantity of onions from the Thorne garden, which was located near the historic Seminary ridge. He told Thorne that he desired, at this late day to pay for the onions and thus relieve his conscience. Needless to say, his offer of money was refused, but the Thornes would like to learn the identity of the sol­ diers who upset eight beehives in the dead of night and 'appropriated all the honey they contained. A remarkable coincidence of the camp was the meeting of two men of exactly the same name, coming from towns of the same name, but in differ­ ent states. One fought on the union side in the battle of Gettysburg, and the other with the confederates. These two men are John Carson of Burlington, N. J., and John Carson of Burlington, N. C. They met by the merest chance. The Jersey Carson was walking along one of the streets, and saw a man In gray. Just to be friendly, the Jersey man stopped him and gave him a greeting. It was not until they had talked for several minutes that they discovered their names were Identical, as well as the names of their towns. Wearing a tattered uniform of gray, Alexander Hunt of Virginia was the central point of interest on the streets of the town. Mr. Funter was wearing the Identical suit and hat which he wore at • Gettysburg fifty years ago. The suit was in rags and has a bullet hole through one of the sleeves. He carried all his accoutrements used at Gettysburg and wore a union belt taken from a foe here. Mr. Hunter was a member of the Biack Horse cav­ alry. A grandson of Francis Scott Key. composer of "The Star-Spangled Ban­ ner," Is here. He 1b John Francis Key, aged eighty-two, of Pikeville, Md., and he is a veteran of the Second Mary- land Infantry of the confederate army. Wearing a suit of gray. Key came into town, weak and almost dropping. He has been in failing health, but de­ clared he was "going to see Gettys­ burg on this occasion br die." One of the oldest veterans In the big camp Is Captain W. H. Flelg of Houston. Texas, who was ninety years of age on his last birthday, February 23. During the war he served with distinction in the marine department of the confederate navy. Captain Fleig is one of the best preserved men in camp and is more active than many of the other veterans a score of yean) less advanced. Fifty years to the boar from the ' time when thfc first shot preceding the battle was fired a reunion meeting of the blue and the gray was held in the big tent. The gray cavalry men who fought the skirmishes that led up to the three days' fight pledged them­ selves in the shadows of the stars and •tripes to "forget" and their brother* in blue swore by the stars and bars that the fight was over for all time. There were several women from the village in the tent/and six one-time schoolgirls, gray-haired and aged now, sang "Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys/ while the veterans wept like boys, but with pride. The six women who sang th.6 buttle song were &nion£ thosfi who thronged the streets 'of Gettysburg after the advance guard of the south­ ern army, left it 50 years ago. On the night when Buford's men came rid­ ing into the village on the heels of Wheeler's men In gray, maidens strew­ ed flowers along the streets and bells in the churches pealed out the news of the coming of the blue and the town Went wild. Of all the scores of girls who wel­ comed the vanguard of Meade, only a half dozen could be found, and they stood, white-haired with tears In their eyes on a platform in the big tent and sang to the weeping soldiers in the seats below. "I'm afraid we can't sing tike we sang 50 years ago," said the ma­ tronly woman who acted as leader as she led the way yp the steps to the platform. "We d&n't care; just sing again," shouted the veterans. As the first notes of the war-time melody came from them in quavering tones, the vet­ erans both of the north and of; the &outh sat quiet with eyes fixed upon «the singers. The hum of the chorus came from every side, and the old men wtpi openly. Aside from the old soldiers them­ selves, an interesting figure fs Mrs. Longstreet, widow of the commander at the front of the Confederate lines in the third day's battle. Mrs. Long- street walked a mile through the broiling sun out to the old Rogers ,house to interview General Sickles. Some time ago Mrs. Longstreet sent a long telegram as representing the southern veterans in protest against the old Union veteran being thrown in Jail in New York because of some financial affairs. It was said that Sickles misunderstood the spirit and his pride was so hurt that their meet­ ing today would not be cordial. "General, I have written an article about you for publication," said Mrs. Longstreet at the meeting, and she read several pages of the highest trib­ ute to the old corpB leader, whom she characterized as having come back and being once again in the saddle. Half a hundred old Sickles' men gath­ ered on the lawn and the reading be­ came dramatic. General Sickles lean­ ed back in his big chair, closed his eyeB, and looked back to meeting with Longstreet. Hffe his widow was praising to the world the valor which she claimed had gone unrecognized by the^ government. Tears flowed down "the Sickles cheeks now tanned by his ninety-third sum­ mer, and his old followers doffed their hats and mingled their tears with those of their old leader, wetting the ground upon which long ago l^ad been soaked by their blood. WOMEN POLICE FOR NEWPORT James H. Lansberry of St. Louis, Mo., who enlisted in the Third Indiana cavalry from Madison, Ind., recited to his comrades the details of his cap­ ture in the town of Gettysburg by Confederates 60 years ago. Following the skirmish Just outside of town which marked the opening of what was to be a world-famed engagement, he had been detailed to assist in car­ rying a wounded officer to the old seminary in Gettysburg. While in town frantic women flocked about him and begged that he fell of the battle. He remained to tell the story, with the result that he had to aP6&d several days in following the Confederate army as a prisoner. Alter tramping 50 miles over rough country without Bhoes he succeeded In escaping and finally made his way back to Gettys­ burg, where he remained till August in assisting In the care of the wound­ ed, which were housed.in the semln- nary, churches, barns and publio build­ ings. One of the unadvertised reunions of the celebration ocCured in the con­ federate section of the camp. A fife and drum corps of men in blue tramp­ ed up and down the streets of the con­ federate part of the city of tents. , They stopped before the tents, play­ ed such a fanfare as only drums and fifes can make, summoned forth the occupants and shook hands, threw their arms about the gray shoulders and in a dozen other ways showed their feelings of friendship. They kept it up for hours and vis­ ited practically every "reb" tent. Their reception was as warm as their greeting. One of the most interesting places In camp was the lost and found bu­ reau, located under the benches in the big tent Everything found on the gronnds was brought there and thou­ sands applied every day for missing articles. ' There were at least 100 crotches piled up In the bureau, dozen or so ap­ plicants having called for them. Those who come to redeem their lost crutches seldom can recognize them and most of them go away with some­ body else's. There was one wooden leg also ly­ ing unclaimed. It was brought in by a Boy Scout, who had found it nnaer a tree. Several sets of false teeth foond. ' v . - Gen. "Tom" Stewart of Pennsylva­ nia Is telling an amusing story of a "runaway vet" he came across In the big camp. The veteran is eighty-five years old. and his son at home an­ nounced that under no circumstances should his aged parent go to Gettys­ burg.

IN T1 iT\' 1 Bloodiest Fighting In All Balkan War Revealed in Report of Disaster to Servian Army. London, July 8.--After ten days of fighting, more severe and deadly in character than any in the last Balkan war, light begins to break upon the hitherto obscure operations. The Servians have lost more men thftn in the whole previous campaign, and semi-official statements issued at Belgrade have the appearance of an intention to prepare the public for news of a disaster. A Belgrade dispatch, describing the five days' operations between Vardar and Kwivolak, says that after holding a greatly superior force in check the Servians were obliged to retire. Thus Kwivolak fell into the hands of the Bulgarians. It contends,, however, that this Bulgarian success was insig­ nificant compared with the Servian Rticcesgas against the Bulgarian right wing. Another semi-official communication says the Servians lost 16,000 killed and wounded and the Bulgarians 20,- 000. The Bulgarian losses were in­ creased by the poor organization of their Red Cross service and lack of communication and transports. Their wounded were left on the battlefield and the dead were unburled. There Is heavy fighting also between the Servians and Bulgarians to the south of Istip and in the neighborhood of Kotchana. About 200,000 men are engaged and the loses on both sides appear to be terrible. FORMER SUGAR OFFICIAL DIES Charles R. Heike, Who Was Convict­ ed of Fraud and Pardoned by Taft Dies of Heart Trouble. New York. July 6.--Charles R. Heike, former secretary of the sugar trust, who was convicted of complic­ ity in the underweighing frauds and whose sentence of eight months' im­ prisonment was commuted by Presi­ dent Taft, died last night at his home In Sea Bright, N. J. Heike had been ill for some time. The president ex­ tended clemency when he was assured by eminent physicians that imprison­ ment would only hasten the convicted man's death which would occur before many months. Before this* Heike had tried in vain to upset his conviction in the higher courts. His penalty was limited to a fine of $6,000.

Result Is Not Effected by Chang*-- Many Qirls Barred Owing to Age. Chicago, July 7.--Illinois women made their first appearance as voters and cast one-third of the ballots at three towns. In three towns where elections were held--Wamac, North Chicago and Llb- ertyVllle--the proportion of women voting in each town was about the same. In all 422 votes were cast in the three elections and of these the women -polled 136. In none of the three towns in which the elections were held was there any­ thing of more than Jocal interest. Only in Wamac did the women actually vote for officials. There eight of them had an opportunity to express a prefer­ ence for candidates for president and six trustees of the village board. In North Chicago and Libertyville the women only voted upon bond la* sues. In no Instance did the entrance of women into the political field change the result of the election. • At Libertyville there wat some diffi­ culty with "willing voters." Young women between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one appeared at the polls, believing that they could vote when they became of age, and were disap­ pointed when their voteB were chal­ lenged and they were told they could not cast a ballot until they were twen­ ty-one. Married women cast the majority of the votes for their sex. AEROPLANES COLLIDE IN AIR One German Aviator Killed and An* other 8erlously Injured at Johannisthal.
