URGES WIPING OUT
 OF ILLITERACY

Atlanta, November 12-Education was the keynote of todays sessions of the fifteenth annual convention of the Unit ed Daughters of the Confectionery. h. spired by message from Mrs. Goodlet of Nashville. founder of the United Daugh- ters of the Confederacy, urging the ne cessity of wiping out illiteracy in the south, members of the convention ac- claimed in brief, but earnest addresses that no more patriotic work could be dcne by the Daughters of the Confeder- acy than to use their every energy for the educational advancement of the de- scendants of those soldiers whose noble feeds the organization seeks to commem- orate
 Miss Alice Baxter, president of the Georgia division of the United Daughters of the Confectionery, proudly announced that Georgia had taken the initiative in the work of education, referring to the Winnie Davis dormitory at the State Normal school, Athens, Ga, which was erected by the Georgia division. She also directed attention to the fact that the Georgia division of the United Daugh- ters of the Confectionery is now building a dormintory at the Rabun Gap Indus trial school Rabun Gap, Ga, as fitting memorial to Gen. Francis Barlow .
 A resolution was introduced by Mrs. John King Ottley of Atlanta providing for the creation of an educational com lnttee of the United Daughters of tho Confederaey, which shall render report annually covering all educational work being done by the several state divi ,ns. She believed that this would stimulate further effort on the part of the different divisions toward placing educational ad- vantages within reach of every descend- ant of a Confederate soldier.
 The fact was brought to the attention of the convention that a Confederate sol- dier had given his cross of honor to Il federal general and this precipitated coll siderable discussion the veteran being severely criticised. The chairman of the delegation representing the division which presented the cross to the Confederate veteran expressed deep regret over the incident. She declared that the veteran ''who so desecrataed this badge of honor as to give it over to the enemy was eligible as a recipient at the time it was bestowed upon him. Efforts will be made to recover the cross from the federal officer

JUDGE ASKS FOR
 PROOF OF CHARGES
PEONAGE CASE COMES TO AN AB- RUPT END FOR THE DAY-FLOR- IDA RAILROAD CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY TO PEoNAGE.

New York, November 12.-Afters several witnesses had testified today in the trial Of agents of the Florida East Coast rail- road, charged with keeping employees of the company in peonage, Judge Hough in the United States court brought the pro- ceedings to an abrupt end for the day by refusing to hear further testimony until the government has established the con- spracy charge against the defendants.
 When he had listened to the examina- tion of witnesses who had testified to the conditions under which a large number of men were engaged for construction work on the Flagler railroad and the treatment given the men in the construc- tion camps, Judge Hough sustained an objection of counsel of the defendant to further testify along these lines, saying:
 It seems that the government is pre- pared to show just two facts: One is that the Florida East Coast Railroad York labor contractors for men to work on the construction of their road there, and the other is that the conditions Of those construction camps were exceed insly unpleasant. However all that may he depored. still it has nothing to do with the conspiracy charge made against these defendants.
 Counsel for the government declared that he had witnesses to prove the con- spiracy charge, but that he wished first to establish the fact as to the labor con- tracing and as to the conditions of the camps. The court, however, ruled that witnesses who could testify as to the points of the indictment should first be produced
 As these witnesses were not in court the case was adjourned.

PROHIBITION HAS
 BUT LITTLE EFFECT
Consumption of Liquors Re-
 main About the Same
HEARING ON THE TARlF F
Liquor Men Have Hearing Before the Ways and Means Committee of the House-Are Satisfied With
 the Present Situation.

Washington, November 12.-The wave of prohibition, which. it is said, has spread over the country apparently has had little influence on the consumption of al- coholic liquors and spurious drinks, ae- cording to evidence brought out at to- days hearing on the proposed tariff re- vision before the House committee on ways and means. It was apparent, too, i that the liquor interests are, on the whole. well satisfied with the present tariff on spirits wines and other beverages. as the wine growers and importers were practically the only interests represented at todays hearing.
 1 The morning session was enlivened by ] a sharp but good-natured colloquy be- ! tween Percy T. Morgan. representing the wine growing interests of California, and I Representative Boutelle of Illinois. MT ] Morgan was telling the committee why ] the regulations of the Dingley tariff cov- ering the importation of still wines should also apply to those wines inn ported from countries with which the United States has reciprocity treaties. An swerng Mr. Boutelle. Mr. Morgan said: My contention is that wines can be inn ported under the present reciprocity ar engagements up to 24 per cent which Is AS proof, while the whisky you yourself drink is only S5 proof"
 "The whisky I drink is not any proof. was MT Boutelles quick rejoinder, T never take any."
 Mir Morgan claimed that under the present reciprocity treaties with the prin cipal wine producing countries, alcohol diluted with wine could be imported in- stead of wine diluted with alcohol.
 Champ Clark, prominently spoken of as the successor of John Sharp Williams as minority leader on the floor of the House, was present for the first time at the hearings as a member of the commit tee.
 w E. Hildrith of New York, cham pagne expert, declared that the cost of making American wines was much greater than that of producing French wines and champaignes. He was telling the committee that Americans only pay for the French labels, when Mr. Clark remarked there are not thousand men in the United States who, after they have |
 had three drinks. can tell what they are ! drinking"
 L. J. Vance of New York secretary of the American Wine Growers association, declared that the reciprocity gave the importers of foreign champagne a reduc- tion of S2 per case in the duty and l that these importers use the s2 thus saved for the purpose of advertising and keep ing a trade which the American wine makers possibly could get if they had similar amount to spend for that pur- pose.
 He also asked for an increase of the duties on mineral waters to meet the high tariff of foreign countries.
 c. H. King and John H. Wheeler of New York argued for a decrease in the duties on ale, porter and beer and de- clared that as a result imported ale and stout would be cheaper to the consumer
 Tomorrow the committee will take up the schedule on tobacco and manufacture of tobacco.

THE PRESIDENT
 RECEIVES FARMERS
NATIONAL GRANGE PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY HOLDS ANNUAL CONVENTION AT WASHINGTON AND MIR. PlNcHoT SPEAKS.

Washington. November 12--President Roosevelt today received at the White House about 500 farmers and their wives, who are here attending the convention of the National Grange Patrons Of Illus bandry. As the sturdy tilers of the soil were introduced he gave each his heartiest handclasp and cheering greeting. After the reception the President remarked that seldom had he seen such prosperous looking farmers.
 Chief Forester Pinchot's address was the feature of today's proceedings of the convention. They keynote of the speech was the farmers duty in cooperating with the government in furthering the objects of the national conservation com mission.
 Unless you and the government" he said to the farmers, take vigorous action the water power of the country. which can only be used properly through the medium of electricity. will be monopo- lized by a few men for their own gain. The time has come when you must have power that is superior 10 muscle and horse power, the power that can be turned to advantage on any job-and that power is electricity

WORDS THAT BIND
 HEART TO HEART

Jackson, Miss, November 12.-(Special.) Governor Noel returned tonight from Vicksburg, where he went to meet and to welcome the representatives of the state
 of Rhode Island who were there to unveil
 the monument erected to the memory
 of the soldiers from that state who fell
 on that historic field forty-odd years ago
 The Governor made a short but very
 appropriate talk, one that must have
 pleased the Rhode Islanders. He com
 plimented the bravery and the valor of the northern hosts, but reminded their representa- tves that their victory was due solely to superiority of numbers and | means.
 The feats of self-saeriflce performed by | the soldiers of both armies are now,
 however. the common property of our
 whole people, and will be an inspiration for all time,' declared the Governor, and
 the sentiment was heartily indorsed by the veterans of the. opposing hosts
 One of the prettiest incidents of the un-
 yelling was the presentation by Mrs. Noel wife of the Governor, of a bunch of mag nficent white chrysanthemums of her own
 raising. She made little talk, in which she explained that her father was gal
 ldnt Confederate soldier, who did his duty to his land. She groried in his memory but knew that if he could be present he would sanction and indorse her action in
 presenting to the veterans of the opposing army a. bunch of pure white flowers. There were tears in the eyes Of the griz-
 zed old men who had followed Grant and
 Sherman through the siege of Nicksburg
 and the south, and at the conclusion of the happy little talk by the wife of the Governor of the state they had invaded
 and laid waste nearly half a century ago.
 they crowded about her to express their
 appreciation of the sentiments she had
 proclaimed.
