WAR VESSEL TO BE
 NAMED MONAGHAN

Washington, March 30.-Seoretary of the Navy Meyer has decided that one of the torpedo boat destroyers recently author ized by Congress shall be given the name Monaghan" in memory of Ensign John Robert Monaghan, United States navy, who was killed in Samoa on April 1, 1899, by natives, while engaged in a reconnais- sance made by combined force of Brit sh and Americans. Ensign Monaghan, who was from. Washington state. was at tached to the United States steamship Philadelphia. then at Asia. Samoa.
 The following is an abstract from the official report of the occurrence made by the commanding officer of that yes : sel:
 Tt is in evidence most clear that when Ensign Monaghan discovered that Lel- tenant Lansdale was wounded he usel his best endeavors to convey him to the rear, and seizng rife from a disabled man, made brave defense, but uldoubt- edly he fell very shortly after joining him, and the hostile natives, flushed with success, bore down on our men in his vicinity. The men were not in sufficient numbers to hold out any longer, and it was impossible to withstand Ensign Mona ghan did stand He stood stead lastly by his wounded superior and friend; one rife against many-one brave man against a score of savages. He knew he was doomed. He could not yield. He died in heroic performance of duty"

BRILLIANT CONCERT
 AT THE JEFFERSON

The Treble Clef club gave It's last regular concert of the season at the Jefferson theatre last night. It was attended by a large and discriminating audience and the entertainment as whole seemd to have been greatly en- joyed.
 The Treble Clef chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Flournoy Rivers, opened the programme with double number-Bucks Birds Gaily Singing Ger Us" and "The Angels" by Rubinstein and later on it rendered "The Song of the Norns," by H. Hoffman with Mrs. Severin and Mrs. Gladden. in solo parts. The chorus pieces were beau- tiful and were sung in excellent style and the vocal soloists acquitted them selves well.
 The Treble Clef club has done great deal for the advancement of good music not only by its own artistic work but in bringing high class artists here.
 The special attractions last night were Arthur Hartmann, violinist, and Alfred Calzin, pianist. MT. Hartmann is one of the younger virtuosos of Eu- ropean reputation and some Of his playing was exceptionally fine. He arrived in Birmingham a belated train and had to hurry to the theatre without having time even to don a dress suit. Nearly all great artists have highly strung nerves and Hart mann is no exception to the rule. Coming breathless to the theatre, there fore it was a wonder that he could play at all. His first number was the opening movement of the Mendelssohn concerto. It is full of technical diff faculties and as MT. Hartmann is master of technique he would naturally feel at home in it. But not being in the best of form he did not give Men delssohn anything like authoritative interpretation and in the dashlng pas sages he lacked the requisite fire
 Hartmann's second number was fa- mons test piece-Bach's Chaconne, for vio- lin alone. It is a great work, full ol chords, double stops, spring bowlng ana harmonics. He redeemed himself in this number and his true intonation was espe- cially remarked For an encore he played a tender little piece by Drdla. Toward the close of the programme he played triple number-little gems-Farlalla, by Sauret; Cradle Song, by MacDoWeli- Hartmann, and rhapsody of his own composition. He closed the programme with one of the most beautiful pieces or the eyening-Wieniaskis Airs Russes. Hartmann's strong points are his har- monies and his dainty trills. He is clean player and is sometimes brilliant and as he warmed up to his work "bravosi" were shouted by musicians in the audience.
 MT. Calzn, the pianist was well re- ceiyed. He is splendid technician and everything he played was marked by ac- curacy and musicianship. The left hand Nocturne, Opus g, by Scriabine, was mar velously well done. His only familiar piece. however, was Liszt's E Major Polo aDse.
 It was nearly o'clock when the con cert began and 11:15 when the curtain fell.

ly report to the prison commission. In speetors employed by the state will also Nlslt each camp once a month ana make a report The rules and regulations are just as strict and will be as rigidly en- forced as under the lease system, II not more so.
 The commission is empowered to employ as many as four road supervisors or ex- perts in road building to confer with the county authorities and to offer sugges- lions regarding the work. So far none of these have been selected. though there are more than 200 applicants It may be that the commission will wait until the work is well under way before making these selections. 1t does not seem to con sider that there Is any present need for their services.
 Political Situation.
 Publication in the Journal Sunday of a dispatch from it's Washington corre- spondent containing the statement that Editor ClarS Howell of the Constitution and Lucian l.. Knight editorial writer for the Georgian, had indorsed H. A. Fucker, colored, for Ieappointment as internal rev enue collector for Georgia. along with other Atlanta citizens, caused considerable comment here. especially in the light of approval of the announced Taft attitude against the appointment to office in the
 
 Friends of these gentlemen know the statement could not be true, but no doubt others wondered at 1t.
 Following the publication, Collector Fucker himself made a statement to the effect that he had not filed any letters, inducements, application, CT any papers of Ike nature in Washington in the last four years.
 What could have been the origin of the report Is somewhat of mystery, except upon the ground of alleged animosities growing out of state politics. winch, Tn some quarters. seem still to survive.
 Both MT. Howell and MT. Knight state that they had not given Collector Fucker a letter of any sort in the last five or six years Several years ago Fucker was at- tackled by some members of his own race for political purposes, and MT. Howell and MT. Knight along with probably hundred other Atlantans, gave Fucker certificate of good citizenship, but did not, they assert, in any sense indorse ham for appointment to office. That Fucker is a good citizen there is no question, but as a negro they state they did not and couId not indorse him for office.
 Both the Constitution and the Georgian have warmly indorsed President Taft's at- titude in announcing his determination not to appoint negroes to office in the south, and the charge that such inducements have been given in this case is, of course, absurd on the face of it.
 In fact, no Atlantans have given Ruck- CT endorsements for reappointment oy President Taft, and it is not likely that any of prominence will do so, although he is known as a lawabiding citizen and stands among the best of the negroes.

senate by Senator Warner authorizing
the extension of the Santa Fe tracks
on the reservation to connect with the

A survey was made at the post IN
this connection ten years ago, and

would apparently cover routes requfr-

Under present conditions troops
handled over the Santa Fe have to
be marched across the reservation for
more than a mile for loading In the

CAN'T SELL A CHILD.
Decision Rendered by Justice Green
baum in New York Court.

New York. Feb 1S.-A child cannot
.. be bartered to settle debt. according
to a decision just rendered by Justice
Greenbaum in the supreme court here.
The case came before him on writ of
habeas corpus and involved four-year-
old Hannah BIueme, the daughter of
Noses Blueme and wife, who are destf-
tutee
The Bluemes about year and a half
ago left the little girl IN the charge of
a Mrs Jennie Cohen after making ar
rangements to make payments Of 81
weekly for her care. Thereafter finding
able to make the payments as agreed
and when after few months he ac-
quired some money which was present.
ed to Mrs Cohen for payment Mrs
ceived what was due her, she had sold
the child to Mr.. and Mrs. Frank D.
DuelI for $50. Mr. and Mrs Dueu fatty
refused to give up the child and as the
little girls parents had since moved to
San Francisco relatives here began
habeas corpus proceedings to recover
her In a decision handed down the
court in restoring the child to her par
ents said in part:
Mrs. Cohen had no lien upon the
child for unpaid board and lodging and
no legal right TO dispose of it to
stranger. Mrs. Cohen simply had
money claim against the father 1t
may be that the respondents have be
come attached to the child during the
few months that they have enjoyed its
society and it is unfortunate that they
may be unable to be reimbursed for the
expenses in it's behalf incurred during
the time that they have maintained it,
but they were not deceived They fully
understood that Mrs Cohen had not the
slightest right to dispose of the child
and the money considerations urged in
behalf of the respondents cannot for a
moment be entertained by the court -
