WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-With barred
head, Prince Henry of Prussia placed two
wreaths upon the tomb of George Wash
ington yesterday at Mount Vernon.
The prince made a personal request that
no camera pictures be taken of the cere-
mony.
The royal visitor and his party were
taken to Mount Verson by special train
over the Washington. Arlington and
Mount Vernon electric railway. Prince
Henry walked to the Washington home
and was driven from there down over
the slope Of the hill to the tomb. When
the iron gate Of the tomb was opened he
removed his cap and entered.
Two large wreaths, made at Washington
by his order, already had been sent to the
tomb and talking them up he formally
set them in place. A group Of over a
hundred that stood in the approach Of
the grave uncovered and that with their
silence added to the spirit of solemnity.
Fifty feet down the sward that falls
away from the tomb Prince Henry plant
ed a linden tree. The tree had been set
in place prior to his arrival and taking
a spade the prince filled the earth around
its roots.
The prince was taken to the old Wash
ington home by superintendent H. H.
Dodge and there met a delegation of the
Mount Vernon Ladies' Association headed
by Mrs. Justin Van Renneselaer Town
send, of New York. He spent few min
utes in looking at the Washington relics
and then departed for Washington.

JOHNSTON'S FRIENDS
WILL HOLD A
CONFERENCE
THERE is SOME TALK OF THEM
sPRINoINe OPPOSITION TO
JELKs-cUNNINGHAM
TICKET.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March lit is re-
ported that the political friends of former
Governor Joseph F. Johnston contemplate
holding a meeting in Birmingham within
the next ten days. It is believed that at
this conference something definite will be
done looking toward opposition to the
Jelks-C unningham ticket, which now
seems to occupy the center Of the track.
Captain Johnston is not talking about his
future political intentions. and it is not
known whether he will attempt to gain
the governorship again or not. One re-
port is that he will endeavor to control
the situation so as to secure election to
the senate upon the expiration of the term
of Senator Pettus. General William c.
Oates is also mentioned as one who may
seek to succeed Senator Pettus.

Debate on Report Was Very Lively.

DGDaEG OF nGPOFh was MGfV
WASHINGTON. d. c.. March 1.-Af-
ter the reading Of the resolution by
the clerk. Mr.. Burrows presented the re-
port OF the majority OF the committee.
The report recited the history OF the al
tercation in the senate and quoted the
language then used by the offenders. All
agreed 10 this statement. The report con-
tinues:
That the conduct Of the two senators
was an infringement of privileges of the
senate. violation OF its rules and deroga-
tory TO its high character. tending to bring
the body itself into public contempt can
not be questioned or denied Indeed the
senate by unanimous vote has already
placed on record its condemnation OF the
senators BY declaring both guilty Of con-
tempt.
The majority OF the committee are OF the
opinion that the legal effect OF the ad-
judging these senators in contempt OF the
senate were 70 suspend their functions as
senator's and that such punishment for
disorderly behavior was clearly within the
power OF the senate. but the conclusion
they have reached makes Il unnecessary
70 discuss this question. The offenses
committed by the two senators were not
in the opinion Of the majority Of the COM
mittee. equal gravity. The charge made
BY Mr.. TIIlman had been once before the
senate specifically denied in parliament
tary language BY Mr.. McLaurin. The Of
Tense charged against Mr.. McLaurin was
among the most reprehensible a senator
could commit.
Mr.. NcLaurin did not commence the
encounter. but only stood I'm his place at
his desk where he was speaking and re-
sisted the attack made upon him. In
other words. his offense was confined TO
the use Of unparlismentary language, for
which he had unusual prOvOcation. New
ertheless. his offense was a violation OF
the rules Of the senate OF so serious a
character that in the opinion OF the COM
mittee IL should be condemned.
In the case OF Mr.. Tillman the record
showed that the alteration was com
merced by the charge he made against
Mr. McLaurin. Such a charge is mex
cusable except in connection with a res
olution 70 investigate. Mr.. Tillman not
only made the charge without any avowal
OF a purpose TO investigate. but also dis
claiming knowledge OF evidence to prove
the offensa and this he said after the
charge had been specifically and unquali-
nedly denied by Mr.. McLaurin.
such q charge under any circumstances
would be resented by any man worthy 20
be a senator but, made as il was IN this
instance its offensiveness was greatly in
tensifed and it's effects should have been
foreseen BY Mr.. TIllman II he had given
any thought 20 the matter. This feature
OF his offense. coupled with the fact that
he also commenced the encounter by quit
ting bis heat some distance away from
Mr.. MeLaurin and. rushing violently upon
him struck him in the face. makes the

COUNTY FAILS
TO SUPPORT SCHOOLS

But PSI votes were cast in Thursdays
county school election, although the reg
istration aggregated 716. The county
schools will therefore continue with a five
months free term instead of a nine
months term. OF the PSI votes cast, 191
were for the nine months term and 80
against. In order to have heightened the
term at least Az favorable ballots were
necessary. A vote of two-thirds of the
registration was necessary.
Although the election has failed of its
purpose. County School Commissioner NJ
L. Britain points with some satisfaction
to the better showing made by several of
the precincts. A similar election was held
six years ago, when the vote against the
extension was much stronger. The bad
weather Thursday is believed to have been
responsible for the defeat of the extern
sion.
