Although thousands of veterans left the uncertain joys of camp lite behind and started for home, their going made little difference In the appearance of the bat tlefield camp today, for thousands ot others were on hand to participate in the exercises of Governor's Day.

On both sides of Confederate avenuo the tents were still alive with veterans and the lines before the cook tents did not seem the cooks to have lost an Inch, although the number that baa left la estimated at close to 10,000. Scenes at Famous "Bloody Angle" He-enacted. One of the events of today was the "charge" of the survivors of Pickett's division on the "Bloody Anglo" held by the remnants of the Philadelphia brigade. Under a hot sun, the men in gray marched across the field that has not seen anything more warllko than a black snake fifty years, up to the walls that torm the angle. The "enemy" in blue was waiting with weapons ready, and when they met across the wall they shook hands.

Afterward they looked over the ground for the site for a $250,000 monument they bope to have Congress erect there. Plan Reception to President Wilson Tomorrow. NEWS BRIEFS The sentencing of Peter J. Duffy, former police sergeant, who was convicted of bribery early this morning, was this afternoon postponed by Justice Seabury, In the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court until Tuesday morning next at 11 o'clock. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has issued from Its headquarters at Madison avenue and Twenty-sixth street, Manhattan, two pamphlets dealing with the treatment of the horse In hot weather.

The first brigade of Irish Volunteers will hold their annual encampment this year at Roscdale, L. from July 3 to 8. Major Thomas J. Nolan will be in command and Captain Charles E.

This year's encampment Is expected to be one of the largest in some time, as volunteers from Port Chester. N. Uanbury. and Philadelphia will attend. Another opportunity will be given the public to express opinions on suggested amendments to the South Brooklyn mar-Sinai railroad layout on Monday aftei- noon at 3:30, when the terminal commit- I beeu designated by Attorney General Car-tee of the Board of Estimate will to act as counsel for the joint log-a hearing In the Council Chamber, City islatlve committee during the hearing of Hall.

The committee now has beeu urged ule charges preferred against Supreme HOTEL RAVEN-HALL ON THE OCEAN ADJOINING STEEPLECHASE PARK CONET ISLAND REFINED PLACE FOR REFINED PEOPLE to dim; fK FOOD A SJ'KCI At.TY A I TO ACI'U OO AT 1 0. 9 SELECT BATHING BEACH loose earth, causing sillies, and such tilings, and the ilchiy could not lie helped. No harm hag been done, however, and the building will be (put up as foun as the money appropriated. The work of laying the foundation has now progressed b0 far that it could be finished very abort order, should the Board of Kstiuiate suddenly vote the money. There will be no delay in the completion of the building on account ot the unexpectedly Ions time it has takento lay the foundations.

The contract for the foundations ot the smith wing of the new library building wag awarded to the firm of Charles Meads Co. on June 4. 112. The contract price was Amons the other bidders were IV .1. C'arlin, who asked Luke A.

Burke, whose bid was for $185,000, and the Northeastern Con-si ruction Company, which asked $192,000 for doins the work. In the contract it was provided that the work should be done in 250 days, and work was begun late in the summer of 1312. According to the contractor, the w-ork of making the excavations was found to be so difficult that when the laying ot the concrete foundations was to have been begun it was winter, and the work had to be practicably suspended for several months. The original time expired In the early part of March, and an extension of three months, or until Juno 2, wag granted. Another extension of four months was then asked for, and that request the Borough President said yesterday he had not anted on officially as yet The foundations contracted for Include only the base for the south side of the triangular building, which will probably be erected before any further excavations ore made.

The hole had to be made unusually deep because the boilers and other machinery for the entire bulldln? will be located under the south wing. Many Difficulties Encountered by Contractors. "It was a hard ob," said Howard L. Woody, Superintendent of Public Buildings yesterday. "At one time 1 was quite worried about it.

Quicksand and loose arth was found on the Flatbugh side ot the excavations, and nt one time it looked as If about half of Flatbush avenue would cave Into the hole. The sidewalk did go down, and one of the trolley tracks had to be abandoned for a while. There was a tremendous slldo of earth, winch uncovered the water mains under Klatbush avenue, and also the Atlantic table which is laid through there. "The earth was so loose that they had vorkmen susoended by ropes while they worked on the sides of the bank, scratching loose some boulders that threatened to fall at any moment. There were also slides on the reservoir side of the excavations.

To the contractors the slides on the Fiatbush avenue side of the big hole were not so menacing as those on the reservoir side, where it was said that the peculiar formations of the soil make work very difficult and slow. Delay Vexes the Library Trustees. A member of the board of trustees ot the Brooklyn Public Library said today that the entire board was greatly disappointed about the delay In the erection of the Central Library Building. "This situation illustrates the difference between private work and public work. What is everybody's business Is r.obody's business," he suid, "and if this l'ad been a private undertaking I believe the work would have been finished on time.

The members of the board have conferred with the borough authoritici upeatei'ly on this subject, and we have been assured that they are doing all they can and that the contractor is also doing his best, and I don't want to say that is not true. But the fact remains that the work la behind time. "It Is also true that no money has been appropriated as yet by the Board of Estimate for the building itself, and to my mind It was but natural that the request for money that could not be used for several monthhs should have been turned down, the city being hard up for fundJ on account of the subway building and other public Improvements. 1 have heard that this very question came up in the committee, and that it was stated that as long as the foundations for the librarv building were not laid, there was no hurry about appropriating money for the superstructure." Superintendent of Public Buildings Howard L. Woody said this afternoon that the dispute between the architect and tho contractor was over an engineering matter of a technical nature, and that he had heard that a lawsuit might he the outcome of the squabble.

The difference of opinion was whether certain excavated matter should be moved twice or not, and Mr. Woody said that if the double work was undertaken by the contract- it certainly was not tho city's fault. The matter finally came before Chief Engineer Tlllson of the Borough President's office for determination, but just how he ruled could not be learned today, as Mr. T11I-sou is out of town.

CONFIRMATION BY MARTIN. 'Anti-Trust League" Head Induced Congressman Stanley to Introduce It. Washington, July 3 Confirmation of Davia Lamar's claim that It was he who drew the Congressional resolution under waic'i the Stanley Committee Investigated the United States Steel Corporation was give uto the Senate Lobby Committee today by Henry B.

Martin, head of a so-called "Anti-trust League." Martin's testimony, less gripping and k'3S startling than Lamar's yesterday, when the latter blandly told of confidential relations with Wall Street leaders, ii his Impersonations ot Congressmen, was corroboratory and suDnlementary 1 10 Lamar's on several 'points. He testl- aed that after Lamar drew the Steel Trust investigation resolution, ho, Martin, induced Representative Stanley to Introduce it-He did not tell Stanley Lamar was its author, but did not try to suppress the fact. He disclaimed knowing that Lamar had used the resolution before irtro-duction in dealings with financiers and protested be knew nothing of Lamar's telephone impersonations. Persistent questioning by the Senators tailed to make Martin divulge what the "Anti-trust League" was or who composed It. He declined to give names of members, or tell of the disposition of thousands of dollars be Bald it had spent.

Before Martin wag called. Lewis Cass Ledyard, attorney for J. P. Morgan had testified yesterday as to Lamar draw- ing the Steel Trust resolution, reamed the stand for a moment to testify that his information on that point came from Lamar and Edward Lauterbach, the New York lawyer. Senators gave Martin a lively examination in an effort to disclose what the "Anti-Trust League" was and who composed it.

Martin testified that M. L. Lock-wood of Oklahoma was originally its president: his was secretary, and Cotter T. Bride of this city was treasurer. It was brought out that Lamar In 1903, i when tho Wickersham railroad law i amendments were before -Congress, had I supplied arguments and information that Martin presented to members.

Martin thought such Information had led to. the striking out of the sections to immunize railroads from prosecutions. "Did Lamar prepare the draft of the on for the investigation of the resolution Street Trust?" demanded Senator Cum mins. "It Is my recollection that I asked him to prepare It," said Martin. He added that he had no specific arrangement with any member of Congress for its introduction.

"This resolution was used In New York as a basis for an attempted reconciliation between Edward Lauterbach and the Morgan firm," said Senator Cummins. Martin insisted he knew nothing of that. Under questioning Martin testified that the resolution was introduced In the House in practically the form he and Lamar agreed upon. "Did you tell Representative Stanley, who finally Introduced the resolution, that Lamar had prepared It?" "I don't think so." "Did you try to suppress that fact?" "Not in the least." Martin testified he had worked for the "Money Trust" investigation, had conferences with Lamar, who favored It, but he had nothing to do with drawing the investigation resolution. The committee wanted to know what Martin knew about lobbies in Washington.

He declared that when Chairman Lovett of the Union Pacific board and Paul D. Cravath of counsel had been to the Deprtment of Justice to discuss the Union Pacific dissolution with Attorney General McReynolds they had "lobbied" the department. A. C. Dickey of the Carnegie Steel Company, Vice President Johnson of the Bethlehem Steel Company and Vice President Petrie of the Mldvale Steel Company had been In Washington in March lobbying for armor plate contracts, Martin declared.

"An active part In that lobby is the Navy LeaRue," he added. J. P. Morgan, and Herbert Satterlee of Morgan So. he named as Interested in the Navy League.

"The result of their continued lobbying has resulted In the United States paying hundreds of millions for obsolete ships and useless armor." said Martin. SHAVED MAN WITH SMALLPOX The Hospital for Contagious Diseases maintained by the city at Kingston ava-nue, has a patient suffering from smallpox, received two days ago. He is Charles White, a negro, of 24 West 136th street, Manhattan, and he Harry Tracey, another negro afflicted with the disease, who escaped from the institution on June 10 and was at largs for fifteen hours. Tracey lived at 44 West 137th strcst. After he was returned Commissioner Lederle of the Board of Health said that the man had the disease in so mill a form that It could not, In the opinion ot his physicians, be communicated to anyone else.

There was brought In at the same time as White, another negro known as "General" Brown, also from Manhattan. This man also had the disease. He is a friend of White, the barker. Notwithstanding this it was denied at the Health Department today that Tracey could have communicated smallpox. White had been suffering from smallpox for four days, which would bring him within the period of Incubat'on.

All Information regarding case was denied at tha Kingston Avenue Hosptal today. Tracey escaped from the hospital at 2 o'clock on the morn'ns of Juno 10. He Just walked calmly out and took car to his old home. He was icturnJd by Health Department physicians. GRAND OPERA STRAUS HITSAT WILSON Injustice in Signing Sundry Civil Bill, He Says.

Newport, R. July 3 No compromise with the older parties, but a straight Progressive pragramme, predicated upon social justice favoring neither capital nor labor, was the keynote of an address made at the Progressive conference today by Oscar S. Straus. Mr. Straus, who was the candidate for Governor of New York on the Progressive ticket last fall, said that a great Injustice had been done and a damaging precedent established when President Wilson signed the sundry civil bill making it impossible for any part of the appropriation lor the enforcement of the Sherman anti-trust act to be used in the prosecution of farmers associations or labor unions.

"When President Wilson recently signed the sundry civil bill which tied the hands of the Government against using any part of the $300,000 appropriated for the enforcement ot the anti-trust law against agricultural associations and labor unions a great Injustice was done and very damaging precedent was created," said Mr. Straus. "Any law which lessens the power ot the Government in favor of capital as against labor, or in favor of labor as against capital, Is unjust to both, and when discrimination is made in favor of the one it will not be long before this will be used as a precedent for discrimination against the other. In a democratic republic we must guard against any form ot class legislation. Social Justice is not predicated upon class legislation, but upon the conservation of human rights and the equality ot opportunity.
