Congressman Funston or some i'll adj
vised friend of his, has been circulating
through his district a statement of few
Of the ''things Funston has done, " as
follows:
( He has introduced bill, number III,
for the relief of heirs of the Fourteenth
Kansas cavalry, killed at Lawrence.
A bill numbered 772, for the relief OF
IT. c. Merrill
A bill numbered 778, providing for the
payment to the state Of certain moneys
expended in settlement of claims of citi-
zens for property destroyed by confeder-
ates during the war.
A bill numbered TIA, for the relief of
WIN. Fletcher.
A bill numbered IT'S, authorizing the
appointment of commissioners for the
settlement of war claims of Kansas
citizens.
A bill numbered 1928, for the relief of
Charles Winters
A bill numbered BAG, for the relief of
A bill mum bered 1903 for the relief of
A S. Sober.
A bill numbered 1851, providing for
the removal of the charge of desertion
from VIM. Davis.
A bill numbered 4567, pensioning D.
Q. Allen.
The above being true, Congressman
Funston is clearly entitled to the graft
tude Of T. G. Merrill, VIM. Fletcher,
Chas. Winters. A. N. Kent, A. s. Sober,
VIM Davis, Ed Allen and a number of
other persons who expect to be ''relieved''
in some way or other. What the voters
of Mr.. Funston's district want is bill to
relieve" all of them more or less. They
are not particularly interested in a few
individuals who are to be paid sums of
money from Uncle Sam at their expense.
That's the trouble with all our Iegisla-
ton; too little of it is for the general
good and too much of it is for the ''re-
lief" of John Smith, or Andrew Carnegie
or some wealthy manufacturer or trust
or corporation. As campaign document
''some things Funston has DONE is liable
to go off at the breech instead of the
muzzle

MEMORIAL DAYS PROGRAMME.
The Part the Ladies' Auxiliary VIII
Take in 1t.

@6Ap IL ADs
The executive committee of the La
dies Auxiliary to the Confederate Vet
erans' Association met yesterday morn
ing at the home of the president, Mrs. G.
w. Lamar, at Lincoln and Huntingdon
streets
The object Of the meeting was to map
out the work of the ladies auxiliary for
memorial day. The ladies will do their
full share of work in observance of the
day. They will make between 200 and 900
laurel wreaths to be worn by the vet
Grams in the parade and which will after
wards be placed upon the monument in
the park extension. Thirteen little girls
will be selected to receive the wreaths
and place them inside the enclosure.
The ladies will also make laurel wreaths
for each of the 700 graves of confed-
crate dead in Laurel Grove cemetery.
This work was formerly performed by
the Ladies' Memorial Association, but as
this body has practically ceased TO exist,
the work has been assumed at the
request of its president by the ladies aux
Hilary
A meeting of the ladies auxiliary will
be held next week TO complete arrange
ments for the celebration Of memorial
day.
Mrs. G. w. Lamar, the president of the
Adulee auxiliary, Sdlu yesterday Jhat the
organization will nav proceed to dispose
of the Stonewall jackson medals pre-
sented to it by Mrs. c. A Lamar.
A communication was received recently
from Col. Hotchkiss, chairman of com
mlttee appointed by the Stonewall Camp
of Confederate Veterans of Lexington,
Va, to inquire into the ownership of the
medals, saying he had written to Paris to
discover, if possible, the origin of the
medals, and requesting that no disposition
be made of them until he could hear from
Paris Col. Hotchkiss' idea is that the
medals were ordered in Paris by admirers
OF the Jackson brigade and were intended
Tor distribution among its members.
AS the claimants of the jackson bri-
gade had already been allowed one month
in which to bring proof in support of
their claims and have failed TO do so. the
month expiring yesterday, the ladies'
auxiliary will again put the medals on
sale
A supply of the medals will be sent to
the approaching reunion of confederate
veterans in Birmingham and they will
also be placed on sale at Savannah and
other points. The price of the medals
has been fixed at 81.

HARDEN MURDER MYSTERY.
The Grand Jury Completes the In
vestigation of the Crime.


The grand jury of the superior court
yesterday completed the investigation Of
the Harden murder mystery. The result
of yesterdays investigation was the find
ing of two indictments against Richard
Washington, the husband of the MUIR
deress, and Sam Edwards, who was sup
posed to have been implicated in the case.
Mary Washington was indicted for the
murder Of Harden at the last meeting of
the jury and she is the only one so far
that has been charged with the crime.
Richard Washington, her husband was
indicted for being an accessory after the
fact, in that he did, on March /, unlaw-
fully conceal the evidences of the crime
from the magistrates of the law.
There was no evidence whatever
that Sam Edwards had had any part in
the killing, and it has never been made
out just what part Mary Washington
claims he had in it. The evidence against
Edwards showed, however that he had
stolen two watches belonging to Ida
Young, who lived in the same house with
Mary Washington, and Edwards was in
dicted for larceny from the house over
the value of $50.

TO MAKE ANOTHER CUT.
A Scent Fare on The BrOHghtOn and
HabeTSham Street Line.

The Electric Railway to Be Notified
To-day-Mr. Hartman Announces
That Scent Fare May Go Into Eff
feet on the City and Suburban sys-
tem-Ehect of the Cut on West Broad
Street.
A lively rate war between the two
street car systems is in prospect. Mr.. J.
n. Hartman, managing director Of the
City and Suburban railway, arrived yes
terday from New York by the Kansas
City He said last night that the people
of Savannah will very likely have a
chance to do some cheaper riding soon. A
rate of 8 cents ON the Brough-
ton and Habersham street line
will be made and a reduction to cents
on all the City and Suburban lines in the
near future is very likely.
TO NOTIFY TEE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
~ shall notify MIR Collins tomorrow, d"
said Mr. Hartman, "of our intention to
reduce the iare on the Broughton and
Habersham street line 10 cents. IN
der our agreement with the Electric
railway not to reduce fares to Thunder
bolt to less than 20 cents for the round
trip we agree to give thirty
days notice of any intended
change in the rates on
that line. l shall inform MIR. Collins,
however, of our desire to put the rate into
effect at once, if he does not object"
Mr. Hartman was asked what had
been the result of the cut on the West
Broad street line.
THE WEST BROAD STREET CUT.
eve are more than satisfied with the
result he said. I'm the short time
which the scent fare has been
on the tSavel on that line
has nearly doubled. Last Saturday
week the West Broad street line
hauled 3, 100 passengers, as against 600
the Saturday before the cut went into
effect. Whether this large increase in
travel is due to an increase in the city's
population or is drawn from our rival |
cannot say. We know that we have it,
and that the experiment has proved
highly satisfactory"
al think" remarked Mr.. Hartman,
"that Mr.. Collins was quoted in the
MORNING News at the time the reduction
was made to the effect that Savannah
people did not care for a difference
of cents and that they had rather ride
on the Electric railway at cents than on
the City and Suburban at g. Experience
seems to prove the contrary
Mr., Hartman said it is not improbable
that cut to 3 cents on all the City and
Suburban's city lines will follow.
THE street railway business has been
overdone in Savannah" he said, land the
matter might as well be brought to an
issue at once"
