ters of the Confederacy take. over the
Home for Needy Confederate Women in
Richmond was put before the conven-
tfon in yesterday afternoons session, but
IL failed to cause the stir that was ex-
pected. Its formal presentation, in fact,
was not that the Daughters take it over,
but that a committee be appointed to
consider the feasibility of acquiring 1t
from the board of managers that now
have charge for the local organization Of
daughters, over which Mrs. A J. Mon
tague, of Richmond, presides. Mrs Mon
tsgue, who was granted ten minutes to
address the convention, set the matter
forth IN a formal statement, followed BY

when once they had discharged their
pledges for Arlington and Shiloh Monu-
ments, devote themselves to the care of
needy Confederate women.
