New York, Jan. 23.—The grand jury
began to investigate today William
Sulzar’s sworn charges that Charles
F. Murphy sent a messenger to him
during the former governor’s impeach-
ment trial offering to call off the trial
if Sulzer would abandon his graft in-
vestigation. District Attorney Whit-
man said that this and the charge re-
lating to an alleged attempt of Mur-
phy’s business partner, James E. Gaf-
fney, to enact a political contribution
of one hundred thousand dollars from
a highway contractor would be mAde
the subject of a two-fold inquiry.
Murphy and Senator O’Gorman will
probably be summoned before the
grand jury.
Washington, Jan. 22.—A bill was
introduced in the house today to cre-
ate an inter-state trade commission,
as the first fruit of President Wilson’s
message.
The effort to introduce the bill sim-
ultaneously in the senate failed owing
to the Alaskan bill debate.
The house referred the measure to
the inter-state and foreign commerce
committee.
President Wilson expects prompt
action after a thorough public hearing.
The commission proposed by the
bill would absorb the bureau of cor-
porations. Its most important func-
tion is designated as that of assist-
ing business and government in pre-
venting violations of the Sherman act
and to aid the attorney general to ter-
minate unlawful conditions by agree-
ments.
The commission would consist of
five members, no more than three
of whom should be of the same party.
It would have inquisitorial powers
over all corporaions save comriian
carriers. -m
BLOODY CHICKAMAUGA. s

if As I had the opportunity, while
attending the ttrd reunion at Chatr-
tanooga of walking over the old battle
field of Chickamauga, in company
with others at my old regiment, the
question of a little write up came up
and the task was put on me. While I
- have' no idea of being able to give
more than a mere idea of this conflict
since the government has converted

m?*-. the bloodiest battles of history. Now,
it has been fifty years v ago since
Americana met each other in this,
conflict, and I could not at-
tampt to tell aa-emen* ot any nth-
er command but my own. and not

ble in so short a time, I rounded up
on SnodgrasB hill, a very strong po-
sition by nature, and was well forti-
fied and fairly bristled with artillery
and a heavy force of infantry to their
support This is where Gen. Thomas
made the last stand on Sunday even-
ing, and his stubborn resistance gave
him the well earned name of “Rock
of Chickamauga.’’ Here the South-
ern boys showed their greatest Amer-
ican manhood, charging up the slopes
of Snodgrass, with their ranks reel-
ing and bleeding, and would halt and
each rank count two’s and reform
and many of our noblest boys went
down and the las* noise- they ever
heard On earth was Jhs roar of Thom1
as’ guns on the bill and the deadly
crash of small arms* mingled, with
wild. Rebel yell of their comrades that
completed the victory of Chickamau-
ga. When the sup went down on Sun-
day evening on this hard fought field,
it ended 36 hours of bloody Chicka-
mauga, and our losses were fearful
to think of, but we had almost wiped
the Federal army off the map. As an
evidence of that there are 12,956 of
them now^ lying'in the National Cem-
etery, and we put the balance of them
on the pension rolls. Darkness put
an end to action for that day mid the
men were exhausted from the 36
hours action that they dropped down
in their places amongst the dead and
wounded, to catch a little rest for
action early next morning, bnt soon
the dull nimble of the cannon wheel
told the active picket that the “Rock
of Chickamauga was retreating.
While' standing looking down the
slope of Snodgrass Hill and thinking
of the contrast of now and fifty years
ago with the tears trickling down my
cheeks, a party of people from Illi-
nois and Ohio were standing near'by
when a young lady walked over to
me and said she. wanted to shake
hands with me saying she could tell
the - ex-Confederate soldiers by their
dress, and added that she could al-
most tell them by their looks. I did
not know at first whether she was
complimenting us or slurring us, and
told her that possibly some times we
could be told by our looks, that fifty
years ago there was about 2,850,000
boys over on her side of the Mason
and Dixon line that could tell who
we were by the wild Rebel yell. She
said she had heard the wild Rebel
yell discussed by the boys in blue,
and I asked her what she thought of
the Southern people, and she pointed
down the slopes of the hill and said
she thought the men that stormed
this position were the grandest he-
roes in American history. History
puts the c&sualities of this bloody en-
counter at from 31,000 to 35,000. on
both sides. G. T. CULLIN8.

STATE PRESS ON KISSES.
In olden days there existed in many
places a belief that the girl who was
not kissed under the mistletoe during
the Christmas season would not be
married during the succeeding year.
In such localities kissing a girl would
be a positive kindness. There is a
Story ot one damsel who, to make
sure, wore mistletoe on her hat.—
Teague Chronicle.
That ancient superstition concern-
ing the mistletoe was spread by young
men who had axes to grind. In the
old days kissing a girl was a difficult
undertaking. It required method,
diplomacy, riness, and, usually a
long spell <Sf courtship for a young
man to win his way to a maiden’s
cheek. It is said to be different now.
We have heard of some young blades
who are alleged to make it a rule to
kiss a girl the first time they call on
her or never to call again. We hope
it isn’t true, and doubt if it is. We
hate to think that there are any such
disreputable youths in Texas. But if
it is true, the girls are not blameless
in the matter. The girl who permits
any Tom, Dick or Harry to scale the
wall of her womanly reserve and sip
the sweets that should be reserved
for the man who shall ennoble her
with a sincere love deserves little
sympathy when she finds that her
measure has been taken, by those pos-
sible suitors whom she would
TO ADOPT RESERVE SYSTEM.
New York, Jan. 23:—The Officials
of the City National Bank, the largest
financial institution in’ thef United
States, said today that the bank would
probably enter the new reserve, sys-
tem. This statement nullified the re-
ports that the bank was considering a
mearer with a corn exchange bank,
the largest state institution, to com-
bine their resources so as to overshad-
ow any regional bank that might be
established here. This would make
a formidable compeditor of the new
system.
The differences between the Nation-
al City Bank and the Treasury de-
partment began with the expulsion
from the department of the bank’s
woman employe who was gathering
asttistics. The bank also favored the
central bank plan. The leading of-
ficers opposed the Owen-Glass bill.
The attitude of the National City
Bank it is believed assures the appli-
cation of virtually all of the national
banks in this section and in fact many
of the largest have already applied for
membership in the system.
