BY Associated Press.

Savannah, Feb. 16.-The most strik-
ing feature of the testimony Of Engi-
neer Arthur S. Copper, assistant engi-
neer under former Captain Oberlin
NJ. Carter. in the Greene and Gaynor
trial today, was the. statement that
the government paid ninety-fve cents
a yard for mattresses that cost the
contractors nine cents. The work
was done while he was supervisor and
he had nothing to do with the cost.
In fact, he said he did not know till
six months after being identified with
the operations what the government
was paying for mattresses.

FOR THE
DAUGHTERS Of
CONFEDERbCY
Resolutions Being Adopted by
Confederate Veterans of
the South.

The following circular has been re-
ceived by the local camp of COnfede-
rate Veterans, urging the passage of
a resolution of thanks to the Daugh-
ters of the COnfederacy, who have
been so active in raising the amount
necessary to complete the monument
to Jefferson Davis:
"The General Commanding realizes
that the following beautiful resolu'
ton, prepared by ai.-Gen. Lowry, COM
handing the Mississippi Division, u.
c. v, and adopted with so much en-
thusiasm by the Louisville convention,
feebly expresses the feeling Of pride
and satisfaction that each Confede-
rate entertains to the devoted Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy, for their
heroic work in raising the money to
complete the monument to our first
and only President:
Resolved, That the United Con-
federate Veterans received with deep
feeling the announcement that the
Daughters of the Confederacy have
raised the $4,000 necessary to com
plete the monument to the great Chief
of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis,
in which they were so ably assisted
by the Southern Confederate Memoir
iaI Association, of which Mrs. W. J..
Behan, is the efficient head, and would
express their most earnest thanks and
appreciation of the devoted efforts
that enabled these noble women to ac-I
complish that in which the veterans
had failed; thus Illustrating the truth
of the aphorism that the love of wO-I
man is more potent than the strength
of man.
HE therefore calls upon each camp
in the federation to meet at the earli-I
est moment, and pass suitable resOlu-
lions of thanks for the accomplish
ment of this grand work, and to send
them 10 Mrs. n. " Randolph, Chair

Commute Found Lame Excuse for
Adjournment to Thursday.
NEITHER REPUBLICAN FACTION
IN COMMITTEE CERTAIN. OF
OUTCOME AND VOTE WAS,
THEREFORE, NOT INSISTED UP
UP-CULLoN AGAINST AMEND
MENTS.
BY Associated Press

Washington, Feb. 1--we have
heard as many opinions on the rail-
road rate question as there are mem
bers of the committee and each man
is afraid to bring the court review fea-
tUre 10 vote" said Chairman Elkins
today when the senate Committee on
Intersta ate Commerce adjourned until
next Thursday without having taken
amendment for a judicial review Of
orders of the commission.
This statement was made in the
presence or Senators DOlliver and
Clapp who were contending for the Hep
burn bill il the form that it comes
from the house. 1t was said in jest,
but it is believed that it more nearly
expressed the situation than any prev
ious alleged authoritative statement.
The committee agreed that the I'M
portant am andments will not be voted
upon until Friday of next week.
Ostensibly. the commit &c adjourn
ed because Senator TdlnAn was sud-
denly taken i'll with a threatened at
tack Of pneumonia and could not be
present. and because Senator CullOm
will return from Florida some time
next week and cast his vote in the
committee. The real reason for adj
journment is believed to be the atti-
Wde Of certain democratic members
in not disclosing their position on the
court review feature.
Neither republican faction in the
committee is certain of the outcome
and the vote was therefore not insist,
ed upon today. Supporters of the
house bill are encouraged, however,
by a telegram received today from
Senator CuIlom asking to be counted
against the amendments to the bill i'll
the vote was taken today.

Concerning his candidacy, the Dade

to the brave of heart and true of

man than w. E. Embry lives in this
county. Self-poised and conscien-
tious, no amount Of popular clamor
can drive him from his duty, no
amount of praise can cajole him into
the commission of wrong. His de-
