is claimed that Carter left Ball and went

said he could not stand more and told
Ball he must resent it.
eff you can't take that you can this,

NEW ORLEANS HEADQUARTERS.
Lee Doesn't Think i Wise Now to Ask
for Funds for Gordon's Movement.
lBy the Associated Press. }

Columbus, Miss, Jan. 1S.-In an inter
view with General Stephen D. Lee, the
new commander-in-c of the United
Confederate Veterans, in which he denies
the authenticity of report recently sent
out, saying he would establish headquart-
ers at Columbus, Miss, he says that the
rules specify that New Orleans shall be
permanent headquarters and he has no
authority to change them. Regarding the
proposed monument to General Gordon,
General Lee thinks it would not be wise
now to call on the veterans at large to
raise a fund for that purpose He says
that when fund was started for monu
ment to General Lee only third of the
required amount was raised and the ladies
of the South had to take the matter in
hand and raise the balance. He adds
that the veterans are in no position to
meet this expense at this time.
