A BREEZE AMONG THE SONS.
Haughton is Elected Commander After Long
Struggle.
On the AssocIated Press. J

Memphis, Tenn, May 29.-The Sons Of
Confederate Veterans closed their con-
vention in one of the stormiest sessions
in the history Of the organization. 1t all
arose over the choice Of commandment
chief to succeed Biscoe Hindman who de-
clined to become a candidate for cleo
ton. Judge S. b. Haughton, of ST. Louis,
was finally declared elected by acclama-
ton, but the decision was reached after
a hard preliminary battle.
There has been a spirited rivalry over
the position of chief of the Sons of Vet
Grams ever since the delegates began to
pour into Memphis The foremost can
didates from the beginning were Judge
Haughton, of st. Louis, and Edwin p.
Cox Of Richmond, Va.
Considerable wire pulling had been done
and both sides felt confident of success,
1t had been hoped that the election of
officers would be reached at the morn
ing session while there was a full repre-
sentation present but other matters
crowded the session and precluded the
possibility of disposing of this important
matter Other attractions claimed the
attention of a number of the delegates
in the afternoon and when this order was

delegates were present. The Haughton
men had foreseen the advantage of re-
naming and were anxious to take ar
early vote. The Cox men endeavored tC
postpone until their men could reach the
hall, but after a series of motions and
counter notions and a considerable
wrangle, the motion to postpone was de-
feated and the election of Haughton fol-
lowed. Other officers elected were Edwin
p. Cox Commander of the Department OF
Northern Virginia; w. A. Collier, Jr., OF
Memphis. Commander of the Army OF
Tennessee: w n. Kavanaugh of Little
Rock. Ark, Commander of the Trans
Mississippi division.
James Mann, chairman of the Memorial
committee. submitted a report showing
that 500 had been collected for the mon
ument which the Sons of Veterans pro-
posed to erect in honor of the Confederate
women. He made strong plea for the
support of this object and the roll of each
camp was called and subscriptions to the
amount of $4,000 were raised. This makes
S.. 700 pledged to the committee.

MRS. EDDY. SUED FOR DAMAGES.
Mrs. Woodbury. Says She Was Referred to as
the Babylonish Woman.
(By the Associated Press.)

Boston Mass, May 29.-The jury trial
of the suit of Mrs. Josephine A. Wood
bury, of this city, claiming $l50,000 dam
ages from Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, of
Concord. N. H., founder of the Christian
Scientist sect, for libel, was begun in the
Suffolk county Superior court here to-
day, and according to the statement of
the different counsel it is likely to con-
sumo the greater portion of three weeks.
The suit was brought by Mrs. Wood
bury on the ground that two years ago
Mrs. Eddy, in a message to the First
Christian Science church here, which was
read four times and afterwards published
in a local paper, had in mind Mrs. Wood
bury when she used the words ''the doom
of the Babvlonish woman referred to in
the Book of Revelations is being fulfilled"
Previous to this Mrs. Woodbury. had
been communicated by the church.
In her answer Mrs. Eddy admits that
the particular address was delivered on
the days and at the times named in the
declaration Of the plaintiff, but declares
that neither Mrs. Woodbury. nor any other
human being was meant by the term
"Babylonish woman" the phrase being
used simply to describe type of sin.
Mrs. Woodbury. was present in court
today but Mrs. Eddy would not appear,
her deposition having been taken for
introduction in the case as evidence.
The court room was crowded with spec
tators when the case was called, while
several hundred men and women clamor-
ed in vain for admission. Before the Sc
lection of a Jury Mr.. Peabody, counsel
for Mrs Woodbury., offered an affidavit
bearing on the case, which he claimed was
necessary through the absence of Judge
S. E. Hanna, prominent member of the
mother church, who he said, caused the
message of Mrs. Eddy to be published
in the local papers. The court took the
affidavit with the understanding that it
should be admitted later in the case
should the evidence warrant it.
A jury was then empanelled and the
plaintiffs declaration read.

NcGovern Knocks Out Herrera.
CBy the Associated Press.)

San Francisco, Cal, May 29.-Terry
McGovern had an easy victory over Au-
relia Herrera tonight at Mechanics Pavil-
ION. There was never a time at any
stage of the game when McGovern did not
have the ambitious aspirant for cham
pionship honors at his mercy, and from a
disinterested standpoint it looked very
much as if he allowed Herrera to STAY
four rounds and then put him out early
IN the fifth. While McGoyern rained
blows on his man at all times, it was not
until the beginning of the fifth that he
put his strength and weight behind him.
The end came quickly after that, as at
the first lead of the right and left on
the jaw Herrera went down for the
count He came UP gamely only to 20
down again. The last time he was I'M
able to get on his feet at the end of the
count and was declared out.

Officers travelling to the United
