Washington, Jan. 6.-Prcsidcnt

in 10 uncertain terms that he gave his
approval to the absorption of the Ten
nesSee coal and Iron Co, by the Unit
ed states Steel Corporation and that
he had instructed Attorney General
Bonaparte not to respond to the Senate
inquiry as to the reason FOR his failure
to prosecute the Steel Co. The Presi-
dent concludes his message with the
statement that he does not conceive il
"within the authority of the Senate to
give directions of this character to tn,
head of an executive department"
The message to the Senate is in re-
Spouse to n resolution introduced by
Culbarson. calling on the attorney gen
eral to say whether he brought an ac-
ton against the Steel Co. because OF its
ACQUISITION of the Tennessee concern
aud is not the reason for his MONACO
ptiOn.
While the resolution was not direct
ed to President Roosevelt. his atten-
ton was called to it by Attorney Gen
eral .}onaparte, who in quoting the re-
ouircments of the resolution. Said:
"As ycu are aware no such pro-
ceedirgs have been instituted" Com
mentlng upon the attorney general y
letter the President says:
AS to the transaction in question |
was personally ccgnizant of and re-
spunsible for its every detail. For the
information of the Senate | transmit 4
COPY of a letter sent by me to the at
torney general Nov. 4. 1907.

tho closest attention of the small
number OF senators present. HIS

authority to call for the reasons or the
attorney general in rendering an op'h-
ion elected smiles from senators. 1ie

t,u of the transa elton leading up 10
tho absorption by the steel Corpora
tion Of the Tennessee Coal and iron
Go and stated after the entire matter
had been placed before him by MEM
hers of that corporation. he had re-
n,ied that he did not feel that 1T wa

Arthur Brooks-or What's in
a Name.

Looking over a long list of
names of persons there are al
ways some one or two, just one,
perhaps, that takes your fancy.
You like it; it seems to mean
something. Now in the case of
the Taft day program there was
a name that among all the gilt
tering rest, seemed to have a
peculiar Importance. 1t was
Arthur Brooks. And Arthur.
Brooks does some how or other
sound good. 1t came plain, just
like that, just Arthur Brooks.
But following acustom distinctly
Southern, in the printed program
it must be led off with a title, so
in the absence of any other,
Hon. was prefxed. and Hon.
Arthur Brooks was put in a car
riage-in the prog am. Whe;i 10
and behold it turns out that Hon.
Arthur Brooks is the President S
valet, and a negro valet, at that.
Just imagine what might have
happened in carriage No. =.
But needless to say, it won't.
Of course it was simply a mis-
take. The names of all the
Presidents party are sent out
officially, in a business like, i'm
personal way, just as an invento-
ry is taken. The Hon" F." Ar
thur was just a misdeal. But
the secret service man who
tipped off the error was certainly
on to his job.

goods merchants. For short
period he was secretary for the
/. /. and c. His last work was
for the firm of Simon Loeb &
Bro.
About ten years ago he mar
ried Miss Alisa Campbell, a
cousin, of Nashville, who died
last October.
Mr.. Campbell had many warm
friends. His way through life
was quiet and unostentatious.
He was an ardent worker in the
Presbyterian church, and it may
be truthfully said that every act
of his life was marked by
goodness of heart, and strictest
honor. He was a descendant of
the Campbells whose story is in
large part the history of Scot
land, from days long before the
Duke of Argyle. the head of the
clan. contended for the British
crown.
The deceased was a cousin of
Mr.. T. B. Franklin and Mr.. Nal
comb Franklin, Mrs. John P.
Mayo and Mrs. Claude Ayres
and Mrs. Reuben Banks. :
Mrs. John Campbell and Miss
Maggie Campbell of Nashville,
sisters-in-law of the deceased
arrived in Columbus Thursday.
The funeral services We're held
Thursday afternon at $3.50 at
Presbyterian church, the Rev. ]
j. Hill, pastor, officiating. The
church was we'll filled with
friends and relatives of the de-
ceased. DR.. Hill in a beautiful
tribute spoke briefly of his exem-
plary, Christian life and of the
earnest work he had done as
Elder in the church.
Many veterans were present.
A casket of Confederate gray,
with a Confederate flag laid upon
it. encased the remains of their
departed comrade and told in
mute eloq how closely to
his heart he had held the Lost
Cause.
The interment was in Friend
ship cemetery.
Honorary pail bearers were:
Judge J. A. Orr, Capt. J. A.
Nelson, Mr.. w. H. Lee, Mr.. J.

Worlds BestCircnS Coming
Barnum and BsIIey Show Announced
for an Early Engagement Here.

Barnum and Bsiiey Show Announced
for an Early Engagement Here.
The Barnum and Bailey Great
est Show on Earth is announced
for two performces in Columbus
on Thursday, Nov. Is, and the
day is awaited with great inter
est. A new and brilliant street
parade, a feature which this
show has omitted for several
seasons, is promised for the
forenoon of that date.
Standing at the head of the
circus business and with the
policy of P. t. Barnum and
jam A. Bailey still active with
the preseut management, the
appearance of this circus from
time to time never fails to fur
nish a source of absolute salts
faction to those who love this
form of amusement. The Amer
lean public is aware of the uni
versal prestige of this enter
prise. It's travels in every land
where the sun shines have given
it unlimited advantages of gath
ering together the worlds Won
ders. If there is anything new
under the sun it is found under
the broad canvas tops of this
splen did circus.
1t is known that all great
arenic acts originate in Europe
and Asia. No sooner have these
acts been exploited in foreign
audience-rooms than they are
contracted for by the Barnum
and Bailey management. Inva-
riably, novelties are introduced
to America by this circus. The
program offered here this year
is particularly abundant in
strangeness and novelty. 1t is
purely a. Europeln bill. The
climax comes with the perform
ance of Desperate. who dives
from the dome of the canvas
and lands on small skid three
feet from the ground.
None the less interesting and
thrilling is the act of Jupiter, a
magnificent horse, which goes
up in a balloon and comes down
amid a shower of fireworks
These two acts stand alone as
e most exciting and the most
astonishing feats presented.
The circus has a newly-built
equipment this season, most of
it from European factories. On
the roll are 1, 500 employees and
700 horses are used. A train of
five sections conveys the great
canvas city from place to place.
1t requires fourteen acres of
ground to give room to the many
tents. The main pavilion, the
largest ever built, seats Is, 900 in
comfort. The performance
takes place in a vast dome, on a
half-mile race track, in three
rings and on two stages. The
program is introduced by a spec
tacle more brilliant and costly |
than those of the past.

Fine blankets are but $5.

As feecy as a sheep before shearing.
 Soft and fine and pretty; woven so that strength is combined with good looks. :
 Such are these blankets that the store puts forward as especially good value for $5.
 They measure 70 inches by 82, they weigh five pounds, they are finished with borders of pink or blue.
 Each of these blankets is woven of pure wool upon a warp of cotton. That is bet ter than any but the best sort of all-wool blanket: the cotton warp gives added strength and durability and is a preventative of shrink ing.
