Dixieland Hitte To Pay tribute To Two Confederate Chieftains. Richmond Is Center. Richmond, Va., Jan. 19.—A 'new South, vibrant with the throb of in dustry and progress turned from the whirl of twentieth centdi^ activity to day to honor two immortals of its historic past—Generals Robert E. Lee, and T. J. ’’Stonewall” Jackson. From * the Potomac to the Rio Grande Southerners joined with Vir ginia in honoring the 12l8t birthday of Lee, her, iriocious son, and Jackson, W'hose birthday is next Mon^jlay. FOr many years the South has honored the memories of the two leaders jointly —a day when the Stars and Bars wave again. ^ 1 In Richmond, capital of the old Confederacy, and in Lexington, where General i«e spent the last years of his life in an effort to reestablish ^thg South through education, the day was observed ' with appropriate exercises, while throughout the South the United Daughters of the Confederacy spon- soreid some form of observance. Battle Abbey, the great Confederate museum at Richmond, was thrown open, to the public fr^ of clmrge, and thousands were permitted to view the rare mural painting. Visitors came to gaze once more upon the serene ma jesty of the Confederate leader, sur- rounuded by his staff, and aides—the indomitable Jackson, the gallant Stu- efiiLiflaudai CRIMINALS PHX CHICAGO JAILS heroes of the lost cause.

It was estimated three to' four days would be needed to sift the crowd and make the necessary rec ords. A stream of lawyers began to pour into the criminal courts building with petitions for habeas corpus as soon as the doors werp opened, but it soon be came evident their jobs were difficult. State’s Attorney John A. Swanson re quested judges, before whom petitions were heand, to take no action until po lice had ample time to investigate all those under arrest. In the wholesale arrests police hop ed to find the solution to many of the crime mysteries unsol^'ed.
