VERDICT is AGAINST
DIR. Ia. G.. BROUGHTON

A Jury in Judge Pendleton's division Of
the superior court on Friday returned a
verdict of $500 in favor of 3. A. Pugin.
the architect, against Dr. Len G.. Brc ugh
ton. for whom, he claimed, he made pre-
liminary plans for the Tabernacle infirm-
airy.
The Jury awarded the verdict after be-
ing out only a short time, and with the
award interest at the rate OF : per cent
since September 3. 1907. the date the suit
was filed.
Pugin's claim in effect was that DR..
Broughton had come to his Office ard
asked him to make preliminary plans for
the infirmary, one of the buildings of the
Tabernacle enterprises. Pugin says that
DR.. Broughton told him to go ahead and
do $1,000 worth of wor.- on the plans, so
that he might head off, Mrs. W. II.
Wigs, then chairman of the board Of
lady managers of the enterprises, who
had another architect in view.
Mr.. Pugin also swor ethat DR.. Brough-
ton told him that he would see that he
got pad for the work-would be person
ally responsible for 1t.
DR.. Broughton made a fat denial of
these allegations. He said he never said
anything about interfering with Mrs.
Wigs plans, and that he never agreed
to pay Mr.. Pugin for his work
Attorney Sidney c. Tapp, who represent
ted Mr.. Pugin. concluded the argument
Friday. He said in effect that DR..
Broughton had tried to circumvent Mrs
Wigs on the selection of the architect,
but that. finding that she would have her
way, dropped out. and left Mr.. Pugin
with the bag to hold.
Mr.. Tapp was assisted by s. D Hew-
lett. Walter McElreath represented Dr.
Broughton.

ALL HONOR TO DAUGHTERS
WRITES GEO. II. STEWART
sCRANTON, Miss, April IS, 1909.

SCRANTON, Miss, April IS, 1909.
President Georgia Division, U. d. c., At
lanta, Ga:
Dear Madam-I am just in receipt of
your invitation to the unwilling of the
monument in memory of the martyr,
Captain Henry Wirz. on May r.
Few occurrences in life have given me
keener disappointment than my inability
to have been present in Richmond at the
unwilling of the monument of Jefferson
Davis. After this. monument the one
am most interested in is that which the
incompatible Daughters of Georgia, in
spite Of decided opposition and by heroc
efforts, have brought to a most HAPPY
termination. All honor to each of you
Daughters for this tribute to one who
Justly deserved 1t. I pray God that your
paths through life may be shorn of all
save the most beautiful and fragrant
flowers, and when life's tasks on earth
have been finished, may all of you re-
ceive the reward your achievements
merit.
On July Z, in Yazoo City, there will be
q joint monument, costing five thousand
dollars, unveiled to the memory of the
women of the Confederacy in Yazoo
county, and to the memory of Confeder-
ate soldiers of the same county. But for
my suggestion and persistence this mon
ument would only have been erected to
the memory of the Confederate soldiers.
AS far as I know. ii will be the only
monument of it's kind in the south
though / believe South Carolina is now
working for a monument to the women of
the Confederacy.
1t is quite likely shall not be able to
attend the unwilling OF this joint monu-
ment in Yazoo City, but it is a mucn
greater disappointment to be deprived OF
attendance at the unwilling of the Wirs
monument than to miss the dedication OF
the monument at Yazoo City. At the very
first opportunity l shall visit Anderson
willie in order to see the Wirz monument
Thanking the Daughters of Georgia
most kindly for the great honor done me
through your invitation. am.
Very truly yours.

The countess has chosen for her
debut the role in which Mary Garden

is still as handsome as she was in

fully fancy dress costumes at the so
cial affairs in the nations capital.
The latest slight that caused the
countess to abandon diplomatic and
official life came from the czarina of
Russia. Her majesty declined to APP

of honor, post which it has been Gus

of opinion as to whether a municipal
regulation along that line should be
adopted for the District of Columbia.
Since the boom first landed in the

Cincinnati organization, it has been a
continuous candidate for home for
the friendless. 1t has discovered that
so far as it is concerned the business
men of Washington are frigid and dis
tant. Not letter. not even a postal
card has been written to district Of

Commissioner Mcfarland has deter
mined to reply to the National Day
light Association of Cincinnati that te
does not consider it advisable to sug-
gest-as the association desired-the
adoption of law here, similar to the
Cincinnati ordinance, for more day

sion Of public opinion made in re-
Spouse to his request is not favorable
to such action.
Pointing out that the board Of trade

er Mcfarland will tell the National

notified by the presidents of the two
trade bodies that their executive COM

sion that it would be inadvisable to
advocate the adoption of any legisla,

of the city's lands bordering the river.
Establishment of Potomac park was
the beginning of Improvement, and If
congress shall approve of the latest
plans, it will not be long before the
river front of Washington will be
source of pride.
Commissioner Judson's plans in
clude the building of stone or concrete
docks in place of the wooden struc-
lures and shanties that now mark the
busiest part of town. 1t is proposed
in time to have a splendid driveway
and promenade, scheme which, 1t is
believed, will lead to the extension Of
the city to the other side of the Po-
tomac There is to be built a recrea-
tion pier where the fish wharves now
are. 1
Potomac park itself was established
upon the flats, the elevation being
made with the mud and clay dredged
deepened This park is only the be-
ginning, and similar recreation places
will be established along the river
front now available for commercial
purposes. Along the upper Potomac,
too, it is proposed to make parks.
In the extensive river park system
contemplated provision will be made
for the benefit of Georgetown and
East Washington will have great
driveways and promenades. Here the
shores of the eastern branch of the
river are low-lying fats.
