 Tn order that final action may be taken on the disposition of the bids Tor the structures, the Committee de- ciued to adjourn until next Thursday morning when another meeting will be held In Tuscaloosa at which all mem oers Will be urged to be present.
 Those present at yesterdays meeting which was held in the once of Govern 2 or Conner, ex-ofncio chairman. were: pr. John w. Abercrombie, President of the University of Alabama; Dr. J. H. Johnson, of Talledega; Paul IaGrande. of Montgomery. and Justice T. c. Mo- Cieilan, of the Alabama Supreme Court The meeting began at noon and com tinned about an hour and half.
 The buildings. for which advertise ments have been made at two different times, are the Engineering and Power Plant and the building of Geology and Biology. These structures, 1t is esti- mated. will cost in the ighborhood of s20O.000 when finally completed and Iurnisned.

 Many Bids Opened.
 It is understood that about a dozen, bids in all were opened yesterday. The session was executive and nothing was given out for publication as nothing final was done. It is more than likely, however, that definite suggestions were evolved at the meeting which may be adopted as final Thursday when 1t is desired that everything to be done will be performed and ratified by the full Committee.
 The buildings are to be constructed out of the funds appropriated by the last Legislature. The act of appropri. ation was approved March. 6, 1907, and as $100.000 will be available this year. 1t Is expected that about s20o.000 will be expended on the two buildings nam ed. Tn one of the structures will be. installed the beautiful and valuable geological museum for which the Uni- versity is famous.

. DOUBLE HOLIDAY
JUDGE JONES KD URNED FED-
 ERAL COURT.
HonoRea nax en which General Lee Was Buried, and on Whaek Decoration Day Was
 Observed.

fnamuch as yesterday was Decora- ton Day and the day on which Gen. eral stephen D. Lee was laid to rest on Mississippt soil, Judge Thomas G. Jones of the Fedefnr Court for the double reasons decreed a holiday for sthe court s
 Tn ad1ohrntng the court, Judge Jones gave brief but forcefuI address on the day and what it signined. Judge Jones said:
 'Tne court win not transact any business today. It Is the day of the burial of Lieutenant-Ge Steph en D. Lee. He was a commander of great ability, and soldier of daunt- less courage and stainless life. He did great things for his people in the days Of peace as we'll as in the time of strife. He followed In the foot steps of Robert E. Lee, and devoted some of the best years of his life to the training of the youth of the coun- try, and instilling into their minds high ideals of civic duty. and broad and enlightened standards of patriotism. The sweetness of his life, as we'll as his glorious career as a soldier, made his old comrades instinctly turn to him to take the place of the beloved Cor don as Commander-in-Chisf of the United Confederate Veterans. Ills life and services are aTconmon heritage of the American people, and it is fitting that all of ps should pay homage to his memory.
 This is also the day set apart by statute, and a beautiful custom of the country, to pay to the memory of those who fell in the armies of the United States during the Civil War. All now realize. whatever tn side to which his heart went out in the struggle, that it was one bequeathed to the genera tion of that day by the generation which preceded it. and grew out Of compromised. not settled, differences re- lating to the principles as to where the ultimate sovereignty of the people lay. That struggle has long since passed into history. It brought forth sacrifices and heroism and a spirit of conservation to duty. on both sideS which will forever honor the American name. It is meet, therefore, that a court of a common country should pause in it's ordinary duties. Through out this land, we will today witness 1he sublime moral spectacle of trib- utss won by the veterans who fought on the other side. and who have met to honor their own dead, paid to the memory Of a great Southern leader who is this day borne to the tomb. In no country but our own, could such Jh fnis e, -happeif.- They give assurance of the stability of our Institutions, and of the reign of a broad and e1light- ened patriotism. The court will now stand adjourned until 10 o'clock Mon- day morning.
