To Commemorate the Valor and FL

CHATTANOOGA, Jan. 29.--Colonel Gar
nett Andrews Of this city, prominent as
member of the United Confederate
veterans and well known throughout
the south as one of the foremost lawyers
of this section, is at work on the details
of plan, which he will present to the
next encampment of the United Confed-
crate veterans, looking toward the erec.
tion of the most costly monument in the
United States to commemorate the valor
and fidelity of the confederate women.
The agitation among confederate vet
Grams to build a great monument to the
confederate women had its beginning
here on Decoration day, two years ago,
when Col. Andrews, the orator of thc
occasion, made it the theme of his al
dress. Afterward n. B. Forrest camn

every county in the south, and, in my

Colonel Andrews stated that he would
prefer to leave the matter of location of
the monument to the United Confed-

LONDON, Jan. 29. king Edward and
the Duke of Cambridge arrived in Lon
don at 8 o'clock this afternoon. A large
crowd welcomed the king at Victoria
station His majesty will finally ap.
prove of the funeral arrangements dur
ing the course of the afternoon.
There is a great deal of surmise as to
what disposition will be made of the
kings late residence. Both the king
and Queen Alexandra are devoted to
Sandringham, so his majesty will prob
ably retain the place, but it is thought
Marlborough House will be given up.
In the event Of the Duke and Duchess
of York not desiring to reside there, it
is considered likely that William K.
Vanderbilt will purchase the place for
the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough,
which the duchess has long desired.

PROBABLY A "FAIRY STORY"
Told About Emperor William and
King Edward VIII.

BERLIN, Jan. 80 The Vorwaerts (so.
cialist organ) today printed remarka-
BILE story to the effect that Emperor
Williams sudden departure for Eng.
land was not only due to desire to bid
farewell TO his dying grandmother, but
still more to the Prince of Wales ur-
genbwish to settle a private debt affair
TO the emperor before ascending the
throne. This debt, The Vorwaerts as
serted, amounted to 24,000000 marks,
which Emperor Frederick, Immediately
after beginning his reign, loaned the
Prince of Wales in order TO place the
latter i'll a position to pay accumulated
debts to the amount of "a 900, 900 marks.
The loaned money it was further as
serted, was part OF the savings amount
ing to sc, 900, 900 marks, left TO Emperor
William l. Count Won Stolberg, then
minister of the imperial household, The
Vorwaerts also says, vaInly opposed the
paying ont of the $4,000, 900 marks, and
thereupon resigned.
In official circles here, The Vorwaerts
story is characterized as gigantic hoax.

good authority that @. p Hammond of

Grounds For Action.

The legal ground upon which this
action is taken is that the proposed
affair would be i'll every sense a public
nuisance, and the contest in question
will lead to the gathering of thugs and
crowds Of idle and vicious people, whose
presence would be menace to life,
good order, property and the welfare of
the community in general during their
stay in the city.
Among the attorneys who are press
ing this case is ex- United States Attor-
ney General Judson Harmon.
Counsel for the defendants will pre-
pare an answer, and then will occur a
legal contest between giants of the bar.
The exact time of hearing on the mo-
ton for an injunction has not been
fixed, but the court will be asked to fix
as early date as possible.
