JEFFERSON GUARD UNIFORM.
The Uniform of the Jefferson Guard
mt the Worlds Fair Will BE nm
Attractive One.

ST. Louis, March 2O.-Within a
month the officers of the jefferson
Guards expect that the members of
the Worlds fair military forces will
be resplendent in the new uniforms
that nave been adopted by the police
committee of the exposition.
Two styles of uniforms have been
adopted by the committee and ordered.
The first is a dress uniform of blue
cloth, the other a fatigue uniform of
regulation khaki. One thousand of the
first style have been ordered and 500 of
the latter.
The first consignment of the fatigue
uniforms have been received, and as
the guard is daily being recruited to
greater numbers these will be given
out to the new recruits. A shipment
of the dress uniforms is expected 10 be
received soon. The police committee
has decided to arm the guards with a
side arm, consisting of e short sword
patterned after those worn by the po-
lice of continental cities.
The dress uniform adopted for the
Jefferson Guards is said to be q re-
splendent affair, with froggs, brass but
tons and other military trappings.
which will make of a jefferson Guard
on parade a truly impressive figure.
Those who have seen the model say
that it will eclipse the dress uniform
worn by the Columbian Guards at Chi
cagO.

LINER NEW YORK
IN A COLLISION
Meets With Two Mishaps in One
Day.
GROUNDS OFF CAPE LA HAGUE
New York Was Able to Enter South
amptOn and Was DOcI<ed for Tenn
pOrary Repairs-ImpOssibIe
to Estimate Damage.

Southampton, March 21.-The Amer
icar line steamship New York, Capt
Young, from New York, March u, for
Plymouth, Cherbourg and Southamp-
ton, met with two mishaps Sunday,
grounding off Cape La Hague, France,
in the early morning, and later coming
into collision in the English channel
with the peninsular and oriental steam
ship Assaye, under contract to the
British government and used as a
troopship, bound for Bombay with 500
troops on board.
The New York grounded while ap-
preaching Cherbourg at 2:30 o'clock
Sunday morning, during a fog. The
sea was smooth, however, and the tide
was on the food, and within an hour
and half the vessel was f1oated with
out assistance. Her bottom was DAM
aged, and there was water in the holds,
but she was able to proceed.
During the voyage up the channel a
dense fog descended. When off Hurst
Castle. Eng, the Assaye suddenly ap-
peared, and is was found impossible to
avoid a collision. The New Iork's bow
crashed into the Assaye's starboard
bow, tearing a great gap in that vessel.
The New York's bowsprite figurehead
was carried away, and the latter was
smashed into fragments. There was
great excitement on either vessel. The
boats of the Assaye were lowered and
the troops were mustered, but the bulk
head of the troopship saved her. Both
vessels were able to enter Southampton,
and the New York was docked for tenn
porary repairs Nobody was injured.
1t will be impossible to estimate the
damage to the New York until she has
been put into dry dock.
1t is believed that both vessels have
been somewhat seriously injured. An
other troopship will replace the AS
save.
When the New York grounded at
Cape La Hague the passengers who
were asleep hardly felt the shock.
James Sellers, a passenger on the
New York, says at 1920 Sunday morn
ing, while he was at luncheon, there
was a grating noise, followed by a
shock Everyone, he says, ran to the
deck, and it was found that the New
York's bow was firmly fixed in the side
of the Assaye. Mr.. Sellers was close
enough to observe the marvellous dis
cipline aboard the troopship. Not a
second was lost, and there was no sign
of hurry, and, while the boats were
being prepared for launching, the SOL
diers were mustered with the precision
of an ordinarily drill. AS the vessels
parted, continued Mr.. Sellers, we saw
a gaping hole in the Assaye ten feet
wide. and sticking on our stem was a
portmanteu and portable property.
There was a panic on our boat. Had
we struck the Assaye amidships she
would have sunk.

GEN. GRANT WAS MISQUOTED
Did Not Snub President Roosevelt
in His Chicago Speech.
Says He is Warm AMI Devoted -Ad-
mirer of the Presidcnt-What
He Did Say.

Chicago, March 20.-"Presidency and
president are distinct terms" said
Gen. Fred D. Grant, when asked If he
had been correctly understood when it
was reported of him that he declined
to toast the president of the United
States at the st. Patrick's day ban
que of the Irish Fellowship club. The
general made the following signed
statement:
Il am extremely disgusted and an
nOyed at the statement made with ref
ernce to my remarks at the banquet.
l had been invited to attend and to
speak at the Irish Fellowship club in
celebration of st. Patrick's day, and
had accepted the invitation, but re-
quested that l not be called upon for
would not be asked to respond to any
stated toast, and had, therefore, gone
to the banquet without any prepara-
tion to talk on any subject.
After arriving there l found that
they had assigned me to respond to
the toast, The President of the United
States and when l arose l attempted
to give an excuse for not talking on
the subject. My excuses were that l
was not permitted by the regulations
to discuss the president or other civil
officers. and reminded them of the dis
aster that had befallen some officers
who had come from the Philippines.
Another was that l did not know any
thing about the presidency, meaning
thereby that l had not studied up the
usual platitudes given to the Office,
and. third, that l was no orator.
Il am particularly chagrined at the
way the report is put in the paper,
which would draw the inference that
l referred to the present president. for
whom l have the warmest admiration,
and with whom l have had a most
agreeable personal acquaintance. His
kind and thoughtful consideration
upon the death and burial of my moth
er has given me a personal attachment
for him which will never grow less,
and anything that would be said to
indicate that | was not his warmest
and most devoted admirer would do
a wrong to my personal feelings for the
present chief magistrate of the United
States"

Stepmother Restricted.

In deciding habeas corpus pro-
ceedings brought by Misses Nancy,
Jane and Rose Bradford against
their stepmother, Mrs. Mary j..
Bradford, for the possession of their
5-year-old sister, Minnie, acting Cir
cult Judge Lytton Taylor at Nash
Vile last week awarded the child to
the stepmother, but threw around
her many restrictions. The court,
of its own motion, eniOined the de-
fendant from inficting corpOreal
punishment upon the child, denying
it food, locking it up alone, or fore
ing it by threats to do anything
against its will. If the child be-
comes unmanageable or merits chas-
tisement, then the stepmother is or
dered to consult the judge of the
County Court for permission to in
fiict said punishment, in no event to
leave marks, welts or scars on the
child's body. The sisters are di-
rected to 60 before the grand jury if
the order should be disobeyed. The
Bradfords came to Davidson county
from Louisville about a year ago.
