ERRORS IN ADULA CASE.
Reasons why the Owners Think
Judge speer's Decision Wrong.

The attorneys for the owners of the
steamship Adula, declared lawful prize
of war by the United States Court, have
set forth many reasons in their assign
ment of errors taking the case to the Su-
preme Court, going 10 show why the Adula
should not be sold as prize.
1t is claimed the court erred in admit
ting the testimony Of Lieut.. E. A. Ander-
son and others of his crew, and In de-
claring that the burden Of proof of a neu-
trail interest lay on the claimants. The
court, it is held, was also in error in hold
ing that she was practically a Spanish
ship and that she was in control of
Spanish subject and that he was using her
for the purpose Of running a blockade.
1t is claimed, also, that there were sew
eral errors of the court in holding that
the ports of Guantanamo, Manzanillo
and Santiago were proclaimed blockaded
by the President at the time, or that the
Adula had due notice of the blockade Of
these ports. The court is charged with
error also in holding that Soils the charter
er was attempting to carry mail or com
municate with the Spanish authorities, or
that the Adula herself was attempting TO
run the blockade 1t is claimed that the
letter written by Capt. Yeates 10 his par
ents should never have been admitted as
testimony, and that it could by no means
be admitted to prove that the Adula had
ever carried out the private secretary of
Gen. Blanco. Error is also alleged in the
courts rulings with regard to the pass
port said to have been received by Soils
from the Spanish authorities
1t Is held also that the court erred in
holding that the AdLla was engaged in the
Spanish trade in disregard of the block
ade Ii is charged, too that the court erred
in holding that the testimony taken at the
preliminary examination was not capable
of any satisfactory explanation. Exception
is also taken to the refusal of the court to
reopen the case for further proof Atten-
ton is also called to the claim of the
owners that the voyage of the Adula was
a friendly voyage made for the purpose of
bringing away refugees. 1t is claimed the
court disregarded the evidence that there
was no intent to run any blockade, and
that it was not shown according to the
holding of the court that Soils was an enc
my of the United States, he having been
allowed to go instead of being held as such
by the naval authorities.
This assignment Of errors Is merely
preliminary step in taking the case to the
Supreme Court, where an effort win be
made by the owners TO recover the proper
ty decreed by the District Court to have
been forfeited to the United States.
1t was reported at the marshals office
yesterday that the Adu}a would probably
be sent to some other port to be sold. The
sale here having failed, and it being the
desire of the court to get as much as pos
sible for her, 1t is not surprising that this
step should be taken. An order of court
providing for a sale somewhere In the
North is expected within a few days.

"BoBy HITCH AT HOME.
What He Says About the Life of tho
SoIdier-Back to His Law Books.

Genial Bob" Hitch is no longer a pri-
vate in the volunteer army, but an at
torney with promising prospects. Yester-
day morning he arrived from Camp Wheel
err All day he was busily engaged re-
newing pleasant old acquaintances, and
endeavoring to struggle back into the ruts
Of civil life.
private" Hitch, as he will probably al
ways be hereafter known, has lost the
marked tendency 10 obesity that indicated
professional prosperity. He has been work
ed down into the hard-muscled, solid flesh
ed soldier.
Il feel better than I have felt in years"
said he yesterday. Il have no regrets to
express ana no complaints 10 make. The
experience was a good one, and something
that ] win look back to with pleasure
throughout life / took care of myself,
got toughened up physically, secured a far
Insight into the life of the soldier, and
have some new anecdotes to tell when the
proper time comes"
Mr. Hitch believes that it is a mistaken
idea that al the prlvates are anxious to
get out of the army and return 10 their
former pursuits of private life.
There are some men who are anxious
to get out there is no question about that"
said he. But I doubt if they exceed in
number fifteen or twenty 10 a company.
These are mainly young professional men,
and those who have lucrative and respon-
sible positions being held open for them.
There is no reason why they should fur
ther sacrifice themselves But on the
other hand there is large element of ad-
venturous young Americans, with no es-
pecial ties or duties to hold them
back, who want to stay in. They are
bright, intelligent pushing boys, full OF
life, who are anxious to get over to Cuba
or Porto Rico learn the language, keep
their eyes open for good chances and be
in readiness when mustered out to take
hold in the islands. Then there are many
others who are really doing better from
a financial standpoint than before. In
the cities we are all too much accustomed
to measure things by city standards.
When we think of a soldier getting $3.50
a month, rations and clothing, we com
pare the compensation with that of the
city bookkeeper, getting 800, or the clerk.
making SIS or more. The fact is overlook
ed that in the country districts $25 a
month is frequently considered good pay.
that In many sections men get $40 or SIS
a month and board. Putting the soldiers
pay by this standard of wages, and it is
seen to be not 80 bad after all. Many SOL
diers look at it that way, too. when the
financial aspect is brought up for their
considerations Then there Is a freedom
from care and worriment sort of feeling
that some other fellow has got to look af-
ter you, that has its fascination outside
of that which comes from military life in
its other phases. There are worse things
than being a soldier"
Private" Hitch win sign himself "es-
quire" from now on, brush the cobwebs
off his sign and dust from off his law
books and get into harness at once as a
practicing attorney.

A Great House.

Sternberg & Co.'S mammoth jewelry en-
porium is open for fall purchasers. This
merchant king has just returned from
Eastern markets where he added new pur-
chases to his vast and varied stock, and
it is not hattering or overstepping the
mark to say that he has the handsomest
and most precious jewels in the state. His
diamonds alone are worth $4,000. The
house Of Sternberg is known throughout
Georgia as one of the landmarks. He be-
gan business here in 1870. and by close
dealing and fair dealing, winning the con-
fidence of his patrons, he has leaped into
the front and maintains the lead admir-
ably. Mr. Sternberg does not. believe in
making large profits. He tacks on small
per cent, sells quickly, and turns his
stock over often. Always you are able
to find new, fresh, stylish jewelry at
Sternberg's. He does not carry high
priced goods altogether He has the cheap
est, if it is good. He has the best. and it
must be good
The floor space of Sternberg's store is
greater than any other in the state, and
ranks with any concern in the entire
South. There is no sort of doubt about
Mr.. Sternberg's selling more jewelry than
any other Georgia house. He snaps com
petition ike reed, and is able to sell
lower than smaller houses because he
buys in the largest quantities. If an ar
ticle is stylish and good, he makes a pur-
chase of il that would completely bank
rupt a small house. He pays particular
attention to mail orders from any section
of the state, or Florida or South Carolina.
He has a special department for this bust
ness, and everything that goes out does so
upon a guarantee. There Is no reason
why customers in the fartherest parts of
Florida or Carolina should not avail them
selves of the vast opportunities offered by
this house Mr.. Sternberg personally over
looks his business. He expects TO do G ne
of the largest businesses this season in
the history of the firm. He~has made pur-
chases of new stock looking to that end,
and nobody Will be disappointed. All let
tiers and inquiries or orders should be ad-
dressed to Sternberg & Co., III Broughton
street, west.

Georgia Historical Society Members
Who Have Not Paid Their Dues.

Georgia Historical Society Members
Who Have Not Paid Their Dues.
The Georgia Historical Society held its
August meeting last night. The society
had considerable difficulty In getting a
quorum, as is usually the case at this
time of the year. and 1t was after 8 clock
when the seventh man came in, and made
up the required number.
The usual reports and statements were
made by the different officers and commit
tees, but the matter of most interest came
UP in connection with the report of the
treasurer Mr.. John M. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan,
after making his regular report, stated
that about $4,000 is due the society by
something more than 800 members. OF
these about ninety members owe the So
ciety about 1850 This latter amount of
indebtedness Mr.. Bryan considers as of
little value.
This situation led to quite a discussion
as to the action the society should take in
the matter Many of these members were
brought into the society by the committee
Of members, and have never paid cent
of dues since their names went on the
list.
On motion of Judge Fallgant it was
finally decided that the treasurer should
be authorized and directed to issue a cir
cular letter directed to the defaulting
members, calling on them to pay what
they owe the society, especially in view of
the fact that it is greatly in need of funds
Unless these members respond to this let
ter and pay their dues it is likely that
they will be expelled at the December
meeting under the bylaws. The treasur-
er thought there would be about 100 mem
bers who would be subject to expulsion
at that time unless they should see fit be-
fore hand to settle up.
The report of the library committee
showed that there are now q 1913 volumes
in the library in addition to a large num-
Der of pamphlets.
A very valuable pamphlet, "Moore's
Voyage to Georgia" printed in London in
1744 was presented to the society by Mai
W. s. Bassinger. This voyage was made
in 1885, The pamphlet is am original.
