TIP, AS WILL NEED
FUND OF $4,000
TO ENTERTAIN CONVENTION.
EACH DELEGATE TO CONVENTION
WILL PAY HIS OWN EXPENSES.

Committee of Post A VIII Ask Mayor
and Aldermen, Board of Trade ana
Cotton Exchange to Repeat Invi-
tatfon to Conventional. H. Levy,
w. G. Brewer and @. NJ. williams
Constitute This COmmittee-R. Nj.
Hitch VIII Go as Representative
of All These Bodies.
A meeting of Post A, Travellers
Protective Association was held in the
Screven House yesterday at noon to
discuss matters in connection with the
invitation to be extended the national
convention of the order to come TO
this city in 1905. The following COM
mittee is in charge of these plans SO
far as the local post is concerned:
Messrs. B. H. Levy, William @.
Brewer and George NJ. Williams.
As has been stated in the Morning
News, the Chamber of Commerce has
already decided to extend for the sec
ond time its invitation to the national
convention to meet here, and has ap-
propriated 500 to pay the expenses
of its delegate, Mr.. Robert NJ. Hitch.
Mr.. Levy, as chairman of the Post A
Committee will now seek to have the
Mayor and Aldermen of Savannah and
the Board of Trade and Cotton Ex-
change to repeat their invitations. and
to pass the necessary resolutions in
time for Mr.. Hitch to take printed
copies with him when he starts for
Springfield, where the convention is to
be held this year
At a recent discussion of the plans
for having the conventionAin Savan-
nah there was some Misunderstanding
as 70 what this city would be called
on to do in the way of entertaining the
guests Mr. NJ. F. Meyer former secre-
tary of the Georgia division, said yes
terday that all delegates to a national
convention have their expenses paid
oy the post or delegation they repre-
sent, but that the general entertain
ment is usually furnished by the city
or the trade bodies or other organiza-
tons Of the city in which the conven-
tion is held.
For entertaining the next convention
o. the I. P. A. he thought $1,000 would
pc necessary, aud this amount would
nave to be raised by subscription. Be-
cause of Savannalh's exceptional ad-
Fantages for arranging outings of
various kinds, il is possible that the
guests might be given good time for
something less than 5000, though as
me order is growing each year, and
as the visitors to the convention ma v
number as many as 5000, it Is hardly
likely that any programme that would
90 credit 10 the city could be carried
OUT for sum much under $1,000.
Two of the Savannahians to attend
me convention will leave for Spring.
neid this week, on either Friday or SAT-
urday. They are Mr.. A. w Morehouse.
state secretary and treasurer, and Mr..
Hugo /. Frank, president of Poet A. In
al probability. Mr.. Hitch will make
the trip in company with them.

PRESENT FACTS
TO RAILROAD MEN
IN REGARD TO CUBAN LINE
MANUFACTURERS ASKED FOR IN
FORMATION.

transportation Committee OF Cham
Der of Commerce Wants to Know
Amount and Kind of Goods That
Would BE shipped Via the Pro-
posed Line-F. c. Battey Has Writ
ten Business Men of North Caro-
lima, south Carolina, Georgia ana
Part of Alabama for Figures.
The proposed line of steamers be-
tween Savannah and Havana will be
thoroughly discussed Tuesday after
noon at a meeting Of business men that
has been called 10 meet in the Cham
Der of Commerce quarters.
The meeting has been called by Mr..
Frank c. Battey, chairman of the
Transportation Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, to which the
matter was referred by the directors
of the chamber at their last meeting.
At this gathering not only will the
members of the committee be present,
but a number of business men who
would be interested in having such a
line as is proposed, and who are in a
position to throw some light on the
question of the size and kind of car
goes that might be secured from this
port.
Mr.. Battey will not be content with
securing information from purely 10
cal souces, but has written 10 manu-
facturers and other business men of
North Carolina, South Carolina. GeoT-
gia, and a certain part of Alabama,
setting out the plan of the proposed
line, and asking what amount of
freight would be shipped through this
port if the line is established. The ma
iority of the persons written to are
cotton manufacturers, though manu-
facturers of lumber. and of all other
kinds of goods that would find ready
market in Cuba, have been communi-
Gated with.
This matter of what can be offered
the desired line in the way of freight
is one that should be thoroughly in
vestigated, Mr.. Battey thinks, before
| the committee asks for a conference
with the officers of the railroads and
| the steamship companies reaching Sa-
| Vannah. By this means facts and fig
ures will be available and the exact sit
| uation In a comprehensive form can be
| put before those whom it is sought To
| interest in the plan.
At Tuesdays meeting the Chamber
| of Commerce will not be the only trade
body represented, for the Board oil
| Trade will send a committee to repre-
sent its interests, and to cooperate In
| any plan that may be agreed on to fur
Their the interests Of the city. This
| committee will be appointed tomorrow
| by President John r. Young.

secured from this city, but he said at
the tina that he didn't think so large

well satisfied with what has been Sc
cured. though he would like to see II

headquarters of the association.
When the movement for monument
to Gen. John B. Gordon was started,
IL was thought that about $50, 300 would
be needed, and it was suggested that

held as a rally for one, someone turn

William ANNE.

William ANNE, aged 78 years, a
resident of New Ulm since 1867, died
at his home on North Broadway,
Monday afternoon from asthma.
Death came suddenly, as the patient
was perfectly we'll until Thanksgiving
day when he was compelled to lie
down several times. Since then he
has been failing fast. He caught a
cold a few days before Thanksgiving
and this developed into the fatal dis
ease.
Mr.. ANIME was born in Allsted,
Germany, November 4, 1926, and
came to America in 1867, arriving
in New Ulm in that year. He was
mason and followed his trade until
1882 when he opened up a store here,
which he has run since. He also ran
a saloon for six years, but gave it
up to devote his time exclusively to
his other business.
He was married in 1867 and his
widow and three children survive
him. The children are. Mrs. Louise
Hangart and Herman ANIME of New
Ulm, and Mrs. Theresa Waldgen OF
Germany.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon from the Lutheran church.
