Mrs. Jefferson Davis Questions
His Veracity

SAVANNAH, Ga, March 4. Mrs.
Jefferson Davis has written the follow
ing letter to the Savannah Press:
Sir: While 1 still have no recollection
of having written TO Gen. Miles. the let
ter which he quotes not only fails to sup
port his previous statement in the slight
est particular, but as its date shows must
have been written from the prison ship in
Hampton Roads and when of necessity /
was ignorant of what was being done
with Mr.. Davis, who had then been only
four days in the custody of Gen. Miles. II
the letter was written, subsequent events
have revealed that at that moment when
an agonized wife was thanking him for
his apparent courtesy in answering anX-
ious inquiries in regard to her imprisoned
husband. and was commencing him to
the kind care of his custodian. this man
by his own showing was contemplating
the immediate subsection of his helpless
prisoner 10 the groSSeSt maltreatment. II

only serves TO put in a clearer light. IL

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The most
brilliant and imposing inauguration
which the citizens of Washington have
ever prepared has passed into history.
Theodore Roosevelt did not ride TO
the capitol, hitch his horse to shade
tree, enter the building and take the
oath of office booted and spurred. The
traditional Jeffersonian simplicity was
replaced by a pageant which has not
been surpassed in the annals of the
nation.

Influenced by public sentiment which
| is inquiring into the reasons for the
compromise resolution between the
city and the st. Paul City railway COM
pany being railroaded through the
council Wednesday night certain al
dermen and assemblymen are willing
to explain their votes on that ques-
ton.
1t was aseertained through inter-
views with members of the common
council that the resolution was rushed
through largely on account of the
strong argument made in its behalf by
Corporation Attorney Michael. Many of
them admit that they were not ac-
quainted with the full significance of
certain clauses, and. without due con-
sideration, voted for a measure which.
in light of later events, they might
have opposed.
The analysis of the terms of the
resolution made by T h e Globe pre-
scented evidence of concessions grant
ed the company which had been I'M
heard of before by certain members of
the council.
Two aldermen, who did not wish to
be quoted. because, as they said, the
matter was all settled, expressed it as
their firm conviction that the city had
been gold bricked." 1t was the opinion
of certain aldermen that In accepting
Judge Lochren's decision as final, the
city is practically saddled with a per-
petual franchise. While Judge Loeb
ren's decision does not contemplate
that the railway company can operate
the present electric cars under the
horse car franchise" yet the franchise
gives the company the right to the
streets upon which no other company
can build tracks.
Horse Car Franchise
The situation that will confront the
city at the expiration of the present
electric franchise will be, according to
certain members of the council, that
the city will have a big lawsuit on its
hands. No other company can build
lines on streets occupied by the old
company, and the citizens will demand
electric car service. AS 1T was aptly
stated the street car company could
better afford to run the old horse cars
and so keep their perpetual franchise,
than the people could to forego the
benefits of electric car service.
The waving of the per cent gross
earnings tax in return for the system
of taxation embodied in the resolution
is regretted by many members of the
council.
The one question involved in Judge
Lochren's decision upon which Mr..
Michael felt sure of a reversal, was
the question of street control by the
city instead of by the street railway
company. A reversal on that one point,
as pointed out by the corporation at
torney, would place the power OF i'm
posing a per cent gross earnings tax
and also the regulation of the fares TO

without regard to party, united with
enthusiasm in preparing an Inaugural
ton that should fittingly show forth
the national respect for the executive
office. For the unparalleled demon
stration of today the sole credit is due
to these citizens, the officials of the
war and navy departments and the
officers of the army and navy.
1t is a mistaken idea that congress
has much to do with the wonderful
displays with which the district of
Columbia welcomes each successive
president. The citizens provide the
money and do all the work. With to-
