New orleans SECURED the Prize, But
Couldn't Keep ft-Notice Received
by Mr.. Upshur. Chairman Of Cham
Der OF Commerce Committee.

Potatoes and onions for the army
in Cuba will be purchased in New
port News. as heretofore, in spite
of the effort Of the NV Orleans
Beard of Trade TO have the contracts
for tn Sc supplies award ID in that
city. Mr.. Walter s.. Upshur. chair,
man Of the Chamber Of Commerce
committee on commerce and CONNER
cial usages, received notice Sunday
from thu Office Of the quar-; rmaster
general that the order directing the
purchase. Of onions and potatoes at
New Orleans instead of at Newport
News had been rescinded.
Several months ago = the Board OF
Trade of New Orleans applied to the
quartermaste-s' department. asking
that certain supply contracts be let
in that city. claiming that NV Or
leans is nearer TO Cuba and that the
suppl in question could be fur
nished to the army more cheapiy
than from that point. Notice of what
the New Orleans body was doing was
given in this paper, but at the time
no one thought that the movement
would amount to anything.
About ten days ago. however, Cap
tain Ki!ian, in charge Of the com
missary department hare. was mott
fed in the future tina, certain onions
and potatoes contracts would be lei
at New Orleans.
This matter. ~as put in the hands
Of Mr.. Upshur. who at once took
the matter up a; Washington. 1t was
shown that this was the logical point
for the awarding OF the supply con
tracts. as the army transports ply
regularly between this port and Cuba
Mr.. Upshur's efforts were quickly re-
varded, the notice Of the resembling
Of the order coming even before anyone
here hoped or expected.
Large quantities of potatoes and
! onions are consumed by the army
and tie contracts mean no little tc
the merchants Of this city.

One Of the most terrible features OF
reconstruction DAYS was the failure OF
the courts. Inscriptions judges
made a farce and a travesty Of JUS
tice and really the organization OF
the Ku Klux Kan was made neces-
sary by this condition When Ia"
and order are not maintained by the
courts. history teaches that other In
s.rumen.s are always provided. This
deplorah!e condition Of affairs was
particularly true in the case Of the
United States Courts One Of the
most CALLING conditions that arose
was the trying Of white men by 1urie
composed for the most part Of isnor'
ant and debased negroes. r
Such a scene as this Is shown IN
'The Traitor" the new play based
on Thomas Dixon. IRIS last novel oil
