WOULD ABANDON CRUISE.
Naval Board OF visitors Recommends
Midshipmea's Promotion.

The Navy Department yesterday made
public the recommendation OF the board
Of visitors for this year. One OF the most
Important recommendation IS that mid
shipnen be commissioned ensigns at the
end OF their four years course at An
naPolis, instead OF waiting until the end
OF the two years cruise which fol-
lo~s departure from the Academy.
Another important recommendation Is
that the number Of instructors be in
creased. so that the number OF nlddles
in a section win be ten at the maximum.
although eight would be better. At pres
ent the number runs 20 fourteen, and
sometimes, In certain departments, TO
sixteen.
It Is deemed advisable that all instruc-
tors be graduates Of he Academy, ex-
cept those for mathematics. modern ian
gusges. and Erglish.

THE charges as 70 a lowered entrance

Miss Baxter moved that "the decis-
ion for the selection Of the site for
the Wirz Monument be carried over
for the next convention" which mo-
ton was carried. At the next con-
vention, which was in Augusta, 1907,
the question as to whether the action
of the Macon convention, relative to
the placing of the shaft at Anderson
vile, be rescinded, was voted on. Re
suit: forty against resentment, nine
for The decision was, therefore, re-
corded for Andersonville as the site
for the Wirz monument.
At the convention of 1908, in Sa-
vannah, the question was again
brought up for discussion, since some
of the chapters had asked for recon-
sideration of the action taken in Au-
gusta. A motion to rescind this &C
tion was made and carried. Result
of vote which followed: 90 for re-
scindment, 70 against. Three sites
were presented = Americas, Macon
and Richmond, but before these sites
were voted on, Mrs. Walter Lamar,
of Macon, who had presented Macon
as site, withdrew, in favor of Amer
icus. Americas was then voted on,
receiving twenty-four votes, where
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-03-11
Conducted by Grace kirkland

the committee for the selection OF site
found such a diversity Of opinion as
to where the monument should be
erected, they preferred an expression
from the convention.
The delegates, remembering the
original resolution, offered at Macon,
thought only of one site, Anderson
vile. However, Americas was ad-
vanced as a site by those who claimed
that the placing Of the shaft at~An-
Jacksonville would not only antagonize
the North, but that it might be de-
faced by the hordes of negroes who
visit that place on Decoration Day.
The question, "Shall the proposed
monument to Captain Wirz be erected
at Andersonville - was voted on; re-
suit, twenty-one for Andersonville,
twenty=four against. When the mat
ter was later re-opened for discussion,

brass or marble, showing that the
Federal government was solely re-
sponsible for the condition Of affairs
at Andersonville. Be it further
Resolved, That as four Federal pris-
oners were permitted to go from An
Jacksonville to Washington to plead
for an exchange Of prisoners, and
when refused hearing, returned to
prison, thus keeping their parole, q
tribute to their honor be inscribed on
said monument.
The report of the Design Commit
tee, as read at the Augusta conven-
ton, in 1907, is as follows:
The proposed Wirz Monument is to
be II feet square at the base, and to
stand 35 feet high from grade line or
level of the earth. Two hundred
words to be included at price named,
$2,250. Said monument to be made
of Georgia granite and to be erected
at Andersonville, Ca, on the plot of
ground as shall be designated. The
monument to be completed on or be-
fore Jane l, 1908.
When the WirZ monument discus
sion came up at the u. d. G. conven-
ton in Americas. in 1906, Mrs. j. d.
Mathis, of Americas, reported that

ment which shall stand as a protest
of the South against the ISLANDERS and
falsehoods displayed at that place.
Mrs. Young's resolution is as follows:
Whereas, Captain Henry Wirz,
commandant of the Stockade Prison
at Andersonville, Ga, was judicially
murdered under false charges of cru
city to prisoners, an,
Whereas After an interval Of forty
years, these false charges are re-itera-
ted on sign-boards in public places,
from the pulpits and on monuments;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy, in Georgia,
use their influence to obtain the nee
essary funds to place suitable me-
mortal to Captain Wirz in Anderson
vile, Ca, upon which statement Of
facts shall be engraved in enduring

upon Mrs. Lamar announced that Ma
con was again in the field. 1t was
then seen that Mrs. Lamar's action
in withdrawing Macon from the race,
was ruse by which the strength of
Americas was to be tested. Amerl-
Gus then consolidated with Macon,
when the latter was voted on, with the
result that Macon received thlrty-slx
votes. AS there were forty votes cast
for Richmond, the decision in favor
of that place was considered final. A
committee was at once named and IN
structed to confer with the proper au-
thorities of Richmond regarding the
selection of site for the monument
and to ascertain the cost Of transpor-
tation, etc. A site in beautiful Holly
wood Cemetery-a place rendered pc
culiarly appropriate as that hallowed
spot where lie so many of the South's
heroes, awaiting the last trump-was
offered, but the further progress of
the committee was retarded by an
order sent by the state president to
Mr.. Clark, of the Clark Marble Yards,
at Americas, requesting him not to
permit the monument to be sent out
without an order from herself. Some
of the chapters, it seems, unwilling
that the shaft should go out Of the
state, had asked for an extra session
in order that the decision might be re-
considered The exetra session has
been called for March II, in Atlanta.
Those who voted for Richmond, nat
urally claim that no Georgia site, ex-
cept Andersonville, has any claim to
the Wirz monument. Captain Wirz
did not serve the state of Georgia; he
served the Confederacy. They voted
for Richmond (when all hope for An
Jacksonville was lost) because they
deem it fitting that the shaft to the
Confederacy's martyr should stand in
Hollywood Cemetery, where lie the
remains Of him for whom he gave his
life-Jefferson Davis. Those who OPP
pose Richmond, say it should remain
on Georgia soil because it was erect
ed by the Georgia Daughters Of the
Confederacy; however, the impression
that the Georgia u. ID. C. furnished
neous. Contributions were received
all the money for its erection, is erro-
from the U. D. C. from all over the
Union; there were many individual
donations also, and they were all Civ
en- for the monument to be erected at
Andersonville. The name of Wirz is
so inseparably linked with that of
Andersonville that to place his monu-
ment In Macon, Americas or any 9TH
er Georgia city, were the height Of
incongruity. 1t was found that a
false report had gained ground at the
Savannah convention that Anderson
vile did not want the monument. This
