BATTLE ABBEY VICTORY
Decision In Litigation Means That Work on
Structure VIII Soon Begin.

Lt.Gov. Ellyson received letter from
New York stating that in the case oi
w. Confederate Memorial
Association, the motion for rehearing
and reargument before the u. 5. Circuit
Court of Appeals was denied.
Gen. Underwood, who was secretary
of the Confederate Memorial Association,
claimed commission upon the amount
which the organization secured from
millionaire Charles Broadway Rouss.
The association refused to pay anything
on this claim, and he went into court
after assigning his claim 10 Shaughnessy.
He sued for 100000 commission and
the lower court awarded him $4,000.
IIpon appeal TO the Circuit Court the
case was dismissed and he then applied
for rehearing and reargument. This
latter action of the tribunal apparently
settles the matter, unless Underwood
now goes to the United States Supreme
Court.
The victory for the association, which
has DELAYED the building of the Battle
Abbey. means that the work will now
begin in a short while.
