SITTIAIBS TO OLI) ACE
Famous Commander ami His Kanjeers
Struck Terror to Foc>
Fifty Years Aga.
Washington, May 30.?Col. John S.
Mushy, famous Confederate raider of
the War Between the Sections, died
at a hospital here early today. Death
was due to old age. He will be buried
at his old home, Warrenton, Va., at
9 o'clock Thursday morning and survivors
of his band that made history
will be pallbearers.
Col. Mosby, who was in his S3rd
year, had been in po<>r health about
six months. Three weeks ago he was
removed to a hospital when it was
apparent that his condition was seri.
ous. He was conscious until within
an hour of his death and at all times
took a keen interest in political and
national questions. Many members <>f
his old command visited him during
his illness. Present at his deathbed
wre his sister. Miss lilakely Mosby;
his three daughters, Miss Ada Mosby,
Miss Pauline Mosby and Mrs. S. M.
Coleman of Washington. Another
siste> and two .on; also surviw hup.
The passing of the famous Con.citrate
commando.- jtt Memoria. Day
was a sad feature of the holiday here.
He had lived ;q Washing! on many
yeais, having ?ti one time been employed
at the department of justice.
He was a wflter of some note, contributing
article:; dealing with the
tributing articles dealing with the
War Between the Sections and personal
reminescences to newspapers
and magazines.
Col. Mosby was a picturesque fig
ure in the capital and up to a few
months ago he walked daily through
the downtown section of the city. Age
had not bent his erect ligure nor
dimmed his eye and it was seldom
that he passed through the crowded
streets that he was not recognized.
It is related of him that he attended
only one reunion, that of "Mosby's
Men" at Aleandria Va., 23 years ago.
He was so affected, it is said, that he
never desired to go to another.
Col. Mosby dared death over 30
years ago when at the head of a band
of a few hundred Confederate raiders
lie rode up and down the Shenandoah
valley, capturing outposts, destroying
supply trains, and cutting off means
of communication. It has been estimated
that he often neutralized the
the force of over 15,000 Federals in teh
valley.
Born in Fowliatan county, Virginia.
December 6. 1S33, and graduated from
the University of Virginia in 1S32, he
was practicing lay in Bristol, Va.,
when the war broke out and he began
his career in the Confederate
army. He proved his daring with such
_ _ effect that ho became a scout for Gen.
J. E. B. Stuart and led the celebrated
raid around McClellan's army on the
Chickahominy. In Richmond a year
later he recruited an independent cavalry
troop which became famous as
Mosby's Partisan Rangers. They became
night raiders and the terror of
the Federal troops.
Mosby's most brilliant exploit was I
the capture of Gen. Stoughton. On a
March night in 1S63 he, with 30 followers,
rode through the Federal army
at Fairfax Court House, only 15
miles front Washington, where Gen.
Stoughton was asleep. Although surrounded
by an army said to have been
17,000 strong, the rangers calmly kid- j
napped the general^ his staff and |
many sentries, and turned them over !
to the Confederate authorities at Cul-'
pepper without losing a man.
he closing years of his life were i
spent in lecturing and writing. His j
home lay across the I'otomac, at War-:
renton, Va., but he was often seen in
Washington, his white hair and
strong Roman features making him :
a picturesque figure on the streets or
lecture platform. Ho had written
"Mosby's War Reminescences." "The
Dawn of the Real South," and ;
"Stuart's Cavalry Campaign." lb- was j
was also known a? a Greek scholar.
"My military creed." he once do-;
% elared, is this: "It is better t-. make a .
good run than a bd stand."

('oluiiihia May .*51.?following a lioar

An effort to get the representatives of

I nuhie to Agree. '
Tiie main point that the shippers ?
and carriers were unable to get together
on, it seemed, was the time in which .
the items of the exception sheet wato
he considered. The transportation
efticials wanted to give consideration
to the matter immediately, while the
shipping interests wanted further time i
for consideration; also they wanted the i
carriers to submit to them in writing i
the items they wanted to eliminate, j
and the carriers would not agree to t
tliis. ]
The transportation officials, through i
their spokesman, Mr. Chalotier, said j
that the railroads did not desire an ,
increase in the intrastate rates in ,
South Carolina, their only idea in re- j
questing the elimination of the exceje ?
tion sheet was to secure a gerater uni- ?
formity of rates and a simplilieation
of rates and a simplification of tariff .
in the various Slates.
C
(.'hales Kimmiek, commissioner of *

said that on the face of .Mr. 1
C
Clialoiier's plea the theory of uniformity
of rates was all right but in its (
practical appplicatiou it was not so *

NOTE ON MAIL
In it od States Speaks Plainly to Enpland
and Franee.
Washington, May 2~>.?Vigorous language,
equalling almost that employed
in the last eommunication to Germany.
is understood to characterize
the notes delivered to the British and
French embassies here yesterday protesting
against interference with neutral
mails on the high seas.
Outlines of these communications
have been cabled to London and Paris
by the embassies and the full text will
be forwarded by mail.
It is undeistood there is no substantial
difference as to principle between
the state department and the
London and Paris chancellors regard
lug tne uroau question 01 uiviuiauuuy
at first class mails on the high seas.
The American objection is based
rather on the methods employed by
the allied governments in handling
these mails.
The United States does not conL-ede
the right to even inspect first
class mails in transit on the high seas,
assuming that these do not include
anything more than correspondence
and are not made the vehicle lor the
supply of contraband to the belligerents.
Will Salvage Vessels Sunk in Storm
And Wur.
New York, May 30?An American
company is going to try to salvage

Engineering Company. The
kvhole world under water is its field,
[t will start operations by going after
icssels sunk on the Atlantic seajoard,
and if successful it will delve

junk by the Germans on the eastern
side of the Atlantic.
The moving spirit in the enterprise

U. S. N., retired, who devised the
'lan for raising the submarine F-4
rom the waters off Honolulu and

ROADS APPEALING
TO THE FARMERS
ON WAGE RAISE
If Demands Are Granted The Farmer,1
Will Have Tl Pay Big Part Of
The increase.
Washington, a. C.?Though farm
ers usually tyel little interest Ir
railway labor disputes and are dls
posed to think t^at such troubles an
remote from theai and cannot toucl
them directly, hi the pending ques
tion between ifie Brotherhoods oi
freight trainmen^and the railways o;
the country the, railways evidentlj
are making special efTort to inforn
the farmers on dhe points involvec
and to enlist their attention.
It is argued bp the railroad man
agers that the Aral disposition of th(
dispute will be njade.by public sent!
ment. They reason that the farmer
when it comes ' to a final "show
down," really cciitrols not only ,th(
political power Hut the sentiment oi
nearly all the sties. Therefore, thej
are trying to appeal to his horst
sense. They are sending out a gooc
deal of literature directed especiaiu
to the farmers?probably the flrsl
time such a course has been taker
in any great lakor struggle. The)
say they are convinced of the gene
ral public's confidence in the horse
sense, the InsigM and the fairness ol
the American farmer, and that, there
fore, his influence must be powerful
High Wa^i Now Paid
They are dwelling especially on the
argument that the freight trainmer
already are the highest paid laborers
in the world. Thlsy submit figures tc
show _UiaL-UmMli^n8tances freight
train employeesEm from ^75.00 t
month for the tflinmen, or "brake
man" as they ueA to be called, tc
1250.00 a month B* engineers, work
inig from 22 tojp5 days a month
They are askingl farmers to inquire
into the facts and convince them
selves that most] of the talk of ex
cessive hours of jabor on railways is
empty and contradicted by the facts.
.More than sixteen hours of continu
ous work in railway service is for
bidden by law. The instances ol
men kept on duty so long as sixeen
hours are a very small fractional per
centage of the total employment;
they become less every year, and al
most invariably are due to accident
or some unusual weather conditions.
The managers of the railway com
panies paint out that the farmer him
self accustomed to from twelve tc
fouiteen hours a day of steady worlt
rarely earns in a year as much cash
money as a trainman on duty from
ten to twelve hours, and never con
Hminncir at wort ran earn, restinc
from labor from one-fourth to one
third of his time. In the south it is
a familiar maxim that "it takes thirteen
months to make a cotton crop."
The man who raises ten bales of cotton
gets for it from $450.00 to $500.00
and from this must pay his fertilizei
bills and labor. The trainmen are sail
to average $800.00 a year, this being
the estimate of the Brotherhood leadJ

year, the conductors and firemen
earning wages between those of the
trainmen and engineers.
a Farmer Vitally Interested
i Aside from the question of justice,
i It is pointed out that the farmer's
direct interest in the matter is that
his welfare demands freight traffic
S adequate to the needs of the country,
and that whatever injures the railroads
or hampers their operation or
prevents their development is a direct
Injury to him. If the trouble should
. develop a general strike of the freight
i train employees, resulting in a tie
up of traffic, the farmer would be un
able to ship out what he raises or
i to get in what he wants. He will be
. asked to consider whether the rail[
roads should be crippled by being
t compelled to pay 25 per cent increase
r in wages to men already receiving
i far more than the average prosper1
ous farmer, with resulting injury to
the farmer himself?and if the rail.
roads are compelled to grant the inj
crease and have to raise their freight
. rates, the farmer will have to pay a
big part of the increase.
) The present agitation is nominally
j for the substitution of an eight-hour
r workday in place of the present ten>
hour schedule, but in reality it is a
I mova for an increase of wages.?
r rnnaueipnia evening ouneuu.
t '

It Is calculated that if a +
t general tie-up and paralysis of +
? all freight traffic should result +
from the demand of the freight +
trainmen for an Increase of 25 +
per cent in thfir wages, a large +
t number of the poorer people of +

Washington, May 31.?AVork on

third proposes a tax on munition
