Riehmond-ls an Impressive
Monumept.

Richmond, Va, June Am ever
lasting memorial of Jefferson Davis,
the first and only president of the Con-
federate States of America, was un-
yelled here Monday as the crowning
feature of the annual reunion of the
Confederate Veterans. The ceremony
was made the occasion for a grand
military pageant
Mrs. ]. A. Hayes, OF Colorado
Springs, Colo. daughter of Mr.. Davis,
pulled the cord that held the canvas

to complete the unveiling.
The memorial consists of semi-cir-
cular colonnade, terminating at each
end in square pier, with large shaft
rising from the inclined space. The
semi-circle is about so feet across, with
depth of 80 feet, and stands 67 feet
high. The monument typifies the vim
dication of Mr.. Davis and the cause of
the Confederacy for which he stood
before the world, the leading inscrip-
tion being "Deo Vindice" (God will
vindicate).
An Impressive Monument.
The colonnade, composed of 1S Doric
columns, bridges the two end piers,
rises about 18 feet above the walk
way, and has its frieze decorated with
bronze seals of the eleven states that
seeded and the three others that sent
representatives. and troops.
In the center of the space inclosed
by the colonnade stands large Doric
column over five feet in diameter.
The column forms a background for
the bronze figure of Mr.. Davis, and
also carries an its top an allegorical
bronze figure, whose right hand points
to heaven and whose title, "Vindica-
trix," represents the whole spirit Of
the movement. The large column
bears the seal of the Confederacy in
bronze. and has the inscription, "Jef-
ferson Davis, President of the Confed-
crate States of America, 1S61-1S65."
The bronze figure of Mr.. Davis
stands on a great block Of granite in
front of the column and about twelve
feet above the roadway. Mr.. Davis IS
represented in standing position as
addressing an audience, with his right
hand resting on the open book.

illness and the Court Plans
Night Session.

Boise, Idaho, June 4.-William d,
Haywood has fully recovered from his
Illness.
"The only thing am sorry about" !"
said he, lis that reports were sent out
that l suffered from nervous collapse
due to the strain of the trial. Nothing
has happened yet to make me nervous
and nothing can happen in that court
room that will cause me to collapse.
| 1t was physical trouble"
Judge Wood says he will get the
jury Monday if he has to hold night
session. But two men are needed to
qualify After the first is passed the
defense must exercise its last peremp-
tory challenge. The last man to quail
ify must sit on the jury.
Alfred Eoff, local banker, admitted
having an opinion as to the guilt of
he defendant. Attorney Richardson
challenged him for implied bias, but
Judge Wood ruled adversely, declin-
ing to permit the attorney to further
examine the talesman along that line.
The defense then forced the challenge
tor actual bias.
Attorney Borah. for the prosecution
tried to qualify Eoff, asking several
leading questions. Eoff, however, in
sisted that he had an opinion, but de
clared he had no prejudice against
Haywood.
Judge Wood declared he believed
the banker would make proper juror
This action is considered to be hare
blow to the defense, and Richardson
set about in lengthy cross-examina
ton to find some other means OF dis
qualifying Boff.

COTTON LEAK" CASE BEGINS.
Edwin S. Holmes, Jr., is Charged
With Conspiracy.

Washington, June 4.-The cotton
leak case is up for trial here. Edwin
S. Holmes, Jr., of Washington, former
ly assistant statistician of the bureau
of statistics of the department of agri-
culture, is Jointly indicted with Fred
erick A. Peckham and Moses Haas, of
New York, for conspiracy.
The indictment alleges that Holmes
furnished advance information relative
TO the production and condition of cot
ton to Peckham and Haas; that they
furnished the information to Lewis C.
Van Ripper, of New York, and that the
latter would speculate, and all four
would divide profits. The indictment
charges that they divided approximate
ly 100000 as the result of their opera
tions, and the government will attempt
to prove that they realized even lar
ger sum.
AS result of legal proceedings in
New York by Peckham and Haas, the
government has been unable to obtain
their presence here, therefore Holmes
will be tried alone, and it will depend
upon the outcome Of his trial as to
whether further proceedings will be
taken against the others.
