Charles b. Bray yesterday made an
swer to the suit brought against him
by Mrs. Kate l.. Vida, in which she
accused him of making false represen-
tations in order to induce her to ac-
cept his notes in payment for half

makes denials to most of the allega-

the plaintiff agreed to sell half the sa-
loon and did actually do so, accepting
in full payment therefor the notes in
question. He denies that he is insolv-

Visit savannah--CoI. Lawton Calls
ON the President, Who Is an Old
Classmate-The Presidents Policy
as to Federal Appointments in the
south to BE Manifested, Too.
washington, Oct. 3.-Savannah
claims the distinction of being the first
city in the South to formally invite
President Roosevelt to make 1t visit.
Representative Lester called at the
White House this morning and during
a pleasant visitation formally invited
President Roosevelt to be guest of
the city of Savannah on the occasion
of the centennial celebration of the
Savannah Volunteer Guards, which Is
to take place next May.
President Roosevelt replied good
naturally that May, 1902 is a long way
off and he could not very well pledge
himself to visit Savannah on the oc-
casion mentioned. He said, however,
that If circumstances and the public
business will permit he will try and
avail himself of the invitation so cor
daily extended.
Col. Lester replied that he appreciat
ed the fact that the invitation might
be considered a little early, but Savan-
nah is anxious to welcome the Presi-
Ill =. L.
venience.
1t is possible that President Roose-
welt may make a trip South at an
earlier period, and if he does so he
will surely include Savannah in his
itinerary

by Mrs. Lester, expects to return to
Savannah tomorrow.

Alexander r. Lawton of Savannah,
who was a college mate of Mr.. Roose-

mission was purely personal.
Positions TO lie Filled.
President Roosevelt's policy as to ap-
pointments in the South will soon be
manifested, as there are several inl-
portant vacancies in that section to
FIJI. The most prominent among them
is the federal judgeship of the middle
district Of Alabama. The vacancy vas
caused by the recent death Of Judge
Bruce. Another appointment is that
of collector of internal revenue for
South Carolina. in which state the

rock keenly.
London. Oct. 8. 1910 p. m.-The ex-
tent of Great Britain's disappointment
at the defeat to-day of the Shamrock
can be thoroughly appreciated only by
those who saw the thousands of spec
tators lining the embankment. Almost
to a man, they were expectant of vic
tory. The Shamrock's lead in the early
part of the day so strengthened this
impression that London threatened a
repetition of Mafeking night. The
crowds greeted the green lights on the
towers and on the launches which pa
raded the Thames with wild delight.
But Columbia's red slowly crept up and
motor cars with megaphones dashed
up and down the embankment pro-
claiming Columbia's lead. The yachts
in the Thames reversed the position
of their lights and those on the signal
towers were changed. The crowds
stood mute, awaiting the final mes
sages. Americas cup dinners were
advertised at the embankment hotels,
and overlooking the river many fash
ionable people dined, watching the
moving lights until red, from all sides,
was flashed out.
Columbia wins" was shouted
through the hotel corridors and the
throngs dispersed.

HE NEEDED GOOD LAWYERS.
SCHLEY'S WISDOM SHOWN BY
COURSE OF WITNESSES.

Lieut.. Commander Sutherland, a
Most Too willing Witness, Nicely
Trapped by Mr.. Rayner-He WAS
So Near the Scorpion That They
Almost Collided and Yet the Log
Doesn't show the Only Thing of
Importance He Claims to Have
said-AdmiraI Dewey Brings His
Own Lunch TO Court.
Washington. Oct. 3.--When Admiral
Schley hired two high-priced corpora
ton lawyers to present his case to the
court of inquiry he was severely criti-
cised. One of his critics asked: "If
Schley is innocent, what's the use of
him engaging two noted corporation
lawyers to show that innocence?"
Events have fully shown the wisdom of
the admiral. Every lawyer of expe-
rience knows that there are witnesses
who know too much for their own
good
One of that kind of witnesses was
Lieutenant Commander w. H. H.
Switzerland. He testified that he had
megaphoned the information that Ger
vera was not in Cienfuegos to the
Scorpion to report TO Schley. That
looked bad for Schley as II must be
assumed that the commander of the
Scorpion had obeyed orders.
How near were you to the Scorpion
when you communicated this import
ant information7" in substance was the
first question Attorney Rayner asked
on cross-exan1ination.
Instantly, Southerland's face was a
study-in scarlet too, for the lieutenant
commanders countenanoe is an indica-
tor showing good living. In addition IL
showed that Switzerland was thinking
why, this fellows trying TO show that
l wasn't near enough the Scorpion to
be heard" After two seconds wait,
Switzerland said triumphantly:
why, ! was so near, / had to re-
verse my engines to avoid a collision"
Couldn't possibly have failed to I'M
derstand your" asked Rayner. sadly.
No SIR, stu more triumphantly,
said Switzerland.
Then, Commander. how do you ac.
count for the fact that the log OF the
Scorpion reports everything you say
you said. except that Cervera was not
In Cienfuegos, the very thing that
everybody wanted to know? The log
put quotation marks around what you
said to the Scorpion"
Not until that question was asked
was the purpose OF the preceding ones
made clear. Lieutenant Ward, who is
usually called Crowninshie man.
Friday, jumped out Of his chair with
surprise and CONSERVATION written all
over his face. He paved all over the
log of the Scorpion to see that il
could possibly be true that here was
another conflict between the record,
made before the beginning Of the con,

years after the event. He satisfied
himself that there was. The court
smiled broadly when II perceived the

Democrat and a nephew of Senator
Morgan. He was at one time president

The contest over the Federal patron

by State Chairman Deas, is receiving
but little encouragement at present.

callers at the White House The
friends of Mr.. Blalock are confident
that his appointment is assured. Not

No Engraved Cards for Wilson.
There isn't an engraved business card
to be found among te personal be-
longings of one of the hundreds OF
agents, chiefs, experts, professors and
! untitled scientists employed at the De-
partment of Agriculture. although en-
craving for official cards costs moth
ing. Secretary Wilson, who is a good
deal of a farmer IN every sense Of
the word. Is responsible for this Won
derful condition of affairs. Some time
ago, a recently promoted chief made
out requisition for 500 engraved cards
stating his name and Office. But he
didn't get them.
"You think you need engraved
cards. observed the Secretary, who
had sent for the young man when the
requisition was laid before him for ap-
prevail
Well, I DON'T" said the Secretary.
1.-The Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing has something else to do besides
engraving cards for us.
That's god enough for me-" observ-
dthe Secretary, tossing out very
manipulating card. bearing the
words in printed script, James Will
son. Secretary of Agriculture. II
guess we'n change this to printed
cards and send it to the printer up
stairs"
Since that event, the Secretary has
never used the new chiefs name. He
refers to him as "the young man who
wants engraved cards" Since then. all
engraved cards have disappeared from
the department.
Dewey brings His Lunch.
Nearly every one in attendance upon
the Schlcy court of inquiry goes to a
Dutch saloon and restaurant just out
side the navy yard gates for lunch.
One of the exceptions is Admiral
Dewey. Because the hero of Manila
doesn't go out to lunch Is no indica-
ton, however. that he fasts from
breakfast until dinner. On the con-
trary, he has a nice dainty lunch, Just
as such a fastidious man would be
expected to desire. The Admiral car
ries his lunch in a basket, following
the example of hundreds of working
men employed in the navy yard gun
shops. This basket is a nice little
bamboo affairs, about eight inches
long. four inches wide. and three
inches deep. IL looks like an article
of Chinese manufacture and suggests
that II Is souvenir of the time when
the Admiral commanded the Asiatic
fleet While the basket itself is de-
cfdedIy Oriental in looks, its fastening
is Occidental. The lids are tied down
with pieces OF the daintiest baby blue
ribbon. Everything indicates that the
task OF putting UP the Admirafs lunch
is never intrusted to servants. also
that IL is not the Admiral who does 10.

Columbia the Better sailer.
The Columbia, on the contrary. was
allowed to feel the full power of every

this that helped her ahead. In spite of
the larger sail-spread of her antagon-
list, she was never left behind, but kept
up with the challenger. 1t became APP

The Beat to Windward.
1t was now a dead beat to windward
to the finish line. The Columbia was
now the leading craft from the nlath-
enlatical point of view. She had gained
on both legs and also had her time al

her. Thus, if she could hold her own
to the finish the race was hers.
