cludes the purchase Of food and conse-
quently Mr.. Charles F. Weller, general Sec
rotary of the Associated Charities, which
works in conjunction with the Citizens Re-
lief Association. wrote to the Commission
ers requesting that the word food" be In
serted
..It is evident. think" says Mr. Weller.
that the omission of the word food
was q typographical error, for 1t Is well
known that the Citizens Relief Associa-
ton expends its funds for fuel, food and
shoes for the needy poor. and these three
words have been included In our previous
correspondence in regard to the 81 OO0 inter-
est on the centennial inaugural fund.-
The Commissioners looked back In the
files and discovered that when the original
gifts were made which now constitute this
fund It was specified that only fuel and
clothing was to be purchased with the
money received by the association as In
come. This. of course. binds the hands of
the Commissioners, and Mr.. Weller will be
advised accordingly.

selves that the building can be completed
for that price. Those who take this posi-
ton say thac It is impossible for the COM
mission to know this at the present time. in
as much as the plans even for the building
have not been completed.
Probable Effect.
The District Commissioners. who. with
the Secretary of the Treasury. compose the
commission. today acknowledged receipt or
the protest filed by the Blue Ridge Marble
Company, but it is said at the District
building that the protest will have no erect
upon the award to the South Dover Marble

to be that the commission, in advertising
for bids. reserved the right to select any
stone. The members threw out limestone
and several other kinds of stone, and when
1t came to choice between Georgia
marble. offered by the Blue Ridge Conn
pany, and the South Dover marble, the
commission chose the latter.

SUSTAINED THE COMMANDER.
He Refused to Surrender Accused Sol
der to Civil Authorities.

Acting upon the advice of the Judge adj
vocate general Of the army, the War De-
partment has sustained the action of the
commanding officer of the army post at
Fort Caswell, N. c., in refusing to sur
render to the state authorities of North
Carolina for trial in the state courts Sergt.
Lee Kye, who, it Is alleged, shot and killed
Corporal Thomas Harris of the 3Sth Com
pany, Coast Artillery, a few weeks ago.
A grand jury in the Brunswick court re-
turned true bill for manslaughter against
Sergeant Kye.
The action of the War Department is
based upon the fact that the alleged Of
tense was committed on the government
reservation, and, therefore was a matter
for the cogn1zance of the United States
authorities and not of the state authori-
ties. The commanding officer at Fort Cas-
well was authorized to surrender the pris-
oner for trial by United States courts I'M
der the usual legal process.
