MAJOR HUNTERS

Messrs. Page, Cox and Harwood
Tell What He Has Done
to Preserve Records.

Roosevelt Page, Edwin p. Cox and
| John S. HARDWOOD. members Of the
General Assembly who urged the
appropriation for the Department Of
Military Records, gave out yesterday
| copies of letter to Major Robert
W. Hunter, showing the excellent con-
dition in which they found the work
The letter to Major Hunter follows.
BY request, we went to the Office oil
the Secretary Of Military Records this
morning and spent nearly two hours
in examining the office and records
and papers contained therein.
After the examination so made we
are satisfied that we were correct In
the position taken by us in the Gener
al Assembly and that the appropria-
ton should have been continued
There has been collected q large
quantity of valuable information, and
we believe that the expenditure SO far
made by the state OH this office is
justified by the results obtained. We
recognize the fact that the appropria-
tons for the Office were limited, even
the 1lG cases which we're used being
cases which had been abandoned by
the state Board OF Education and
taken over by your department.. The
reason for this, as we understand, was
because no appropriation has been
made to your office for the purchase of
fling cases.
From what wo could see, the rolls
obtained were neatly and properly
filed in those filing cases, 50 that
ready access could be obtained to the
information therein contained. In adj
dition to this. we found index books
to the infantry, artillery and cavalry
(. IT, n
which would also readily supply an
accurate reference to the fling cases.
We personally asked for information
in reference to certain persons who
served in the Confederate Army and
also to certain commands. In every
| case information was furnished us. In
| some of these cases full information
| was not given because 1t had not heen
| obtained by your Office on application
! to the parties.
| In reference to these specific in
! stances, there was shown TO us a rec
\ ord where you had written to the
| clerk of every county in the state as
| we'll as to other officials of the coun-
| ~ in reference to rolls of Confederate
soldiers, and in some cases you had
received no replies and in others re-
| plies, of which you had taken advan-
tage. We believe that the work done
and to be donc by an office of the
| character of yours amply iustites a
/ continuance of the small appropriation
| hitherto made for its maintenance
and support. We recognize the diff
Guilty in getting such information as
| your office had obtained and unite in
the opinion that you have done we'll
in collecting such materials as you
have.
We consider the map with the
places of all the battles thereon end
the Indexes thereto OF the greatest
value to the student of the history of
the Civil War,
Very respectfully.

ARE
WORSE IN PARIS

Paris, January 2s.-Flood conditions had
become considerably worse at o'clock
this morning, particularly in the south
and east sections. In the old Latin quar-
ter the situa ton was critical.
The sidewalk of the Quai des Grands
Augustins collapsed and fell into the Or
leans companys court beneath, further
extending the foods through the ancient
streets, particularly the Rue Jacob and
around the Institute of France.
Many sewers burst in the Twelfth ar
rondissement, one of the biggest in Paris,
the whole of which Is now submerged and
has been plunged into darkness on ac-
count of the breaking of the gas mains.
The half-buried lie st. Louis, which is
connected with the lie de LaCite by
means OF the Pont st. Louis, is likely
to be totally submerged within few
hours, as the water is now only few
inches from the parapet.
Masons were hastily summoned at a late
hour, and are working desperately to
erect a wall to save the historic Hotel
Lambert, erected In the seventeenth cen
fury, and now the residence of Prince
Czartoryski, and the equally famous Ho
tel Lauzan, adjoining, which was pur-
chased by the city in 1900 to be used as
a museum of art. 1t also was built in the
seventeenth century.
At 2:30 O'Clock the water forced it's way
up through the subway workings in the
Rue st. Lazarre, which is inundated the
whole of its length. in several places the
sidewalk fell In. The subway under the
Place de L'Opera has collapsed and the
sidewalk in front of the New York Equit-
able societys building has sunk in.

vile, they allege
Two Indiana companies, the Indiana
National Life and the Commercial Life,
have issued policies that their officials
believe may have been written with the
purpose to swindle the companies.
Albert Hileker, president Of the Com
mercial Life Insurance company, said a
partial investigation had disclosed that
several of his company's policies held in
Louisville and New Albany had been is
sued to aged or invalid persons, and that
good risks" had been substituted for the
policyholders in the preliminary medical
examinations.
1--WE have cancelled three or four OF
these policies" said Mr. Hileker. 1.-The
Commercial Life and the Indiana Ma
tional Life companies each has not more
than 10 or u of these questionable poll
cies. All have been written within the
last few months and they represent about
$4,000 for each company" he concluded.

PRESS OPERATOR
KILLS HIMSELF

Chattanooga, January N.-(Special.)-
Walter C. Lee, aged 35, a telegraph opera
tor, committed suicide this morning about
tbs o'clock, shooting himself through
the temple with a .3s-caliber revolver.
Dependency or temporary insanity,
caused by Ill health, is believed to have
been the cause of the act. The deed
was committed at the young mans room
at 704 Poplar street, and all indications
point to the fact that 1t was the re-
suit of temporary alteration and not
premeditated. The roommate of the
deceased left the apartment about ~
minutes before the fatal shot was fired.
Mr.. Lee had been confined to his room
for the past two days with temporary
indisposition, but seemed normal this
morning. Nothing unusual was noted IN
his demanor by his roommate. Shortly
after o'clock a shot was heard by the
other roomers in the house. The door of
the room was closed at the time and the
report was SO indistinct as to cause those
inside the house to think 1t was in the
next fiat. An investigation was started
and the young man was found stretched
on the floor in front of a chiffonier. where
he had apparently stood and aimed the
revolver. Death was instantaneous, as
the bullet had lodged in his brain. He
had fallen backward to the floor and the
body was stretched at full length, the
head resting In pool of blood. The re-
mains were removed to Sharp's under
taking establishment, and telegram was
dispatched at once carrying the sad news
to his mother at Manchester, Va.
Mr. Lee had resided In Chattanooga
about one year. He was employed In the
local telegraph office of the Southern
Railway until about November /, when he
accepted a position as operator on a
leased wire in the News Office. He had
previously worked in this city at vari-
Gus times in the capacity of telegraph
operator at the Southern Railway. He
had also worked at his profession In many
of the large cities of the country and
had been identified with many large news
papers. He was expert teiegrapher
of wide experience in his line.
Possessed of a happy temperament
and having a great personal popularity
with his co-workers, the news of Mr.. Lees
death came as a great shock TO MS
friends in this city. 1t was realized by
all that knew him personally that only
a temporary arrangement could have
caused the rash deed.

The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
company has officially announced through
Vice President F. H. Crockard their plans
to encourage "city beautiful for Ems
ley, and have appointed the following
well-known citizens to act as commission
ers to award the prizes: J. P. Rogers M.
T.. Mcdowell and ]. NJ. Perkins. the
following letter, sent by Mr.. Crockard TO
each member of the commission, will eA-
plain the scheme in full;
Dear sir-I am pleased to learn of
your acceptance as a member OF the Ems
ley beautiful commission. In order to al
ford tn incentive for the beautifying OF
homes. 4 has been decided to offer three
cash prizes. to be awarded January /, lSI'
10 those persons having made the greatest
progress in improving the conditions ana
appearance of their yards
1.-THE first prize to be 500.
1.-THE second prize $50
1.-The third prize s2S.
oThe question Of the original cost OF
a home should not be considered IN
awarding these prizes. The idea is rather
n consider the possibilities afforded by
any home. no matter how unpretentions.
In other words, the problem will consist
In considering the possibilities of any
given condition without regard to the frst
cost. A $500 shed on a small lot now In
bad condition could relatively be so I'M
nroyed as to entitle the occupants to first
urize notwithstanding the fact that slo.-
GOO home could readily be made to look
more attractive. 1 shall be glad TO have
YOU bear this thought in mind IN max
ing your awards.
Il believe, too, that some weight should
be assigned to the sanitary conditions and
improvements. At present Ensley has pos
sibliities very much superior TO tnose Oh
the average town, and under proper slim
ulation 1t can readily outrank many OF
them. If the many homes are improved
by cleaning up the back yards and start
ing a lawn, and perhaps a flower bed in
the front yard, the city will be rendered
in every way more attractive. If this plan
brings about the desired result in fair
measure [ will feel repaid for this ef-
fort. l appreciate fully the burden this
work imposes upon you as members or
the commission, and desire to express
nv thanks for this evidence of civic pride
on your part"
