LINCOLN MEMORIAL
AWARD PROTESTED
Georgia Delegation in Congress Be-
lieves Contract Should Have Gone
to John Gill & Sons.

The award of the contract for the con-
struction Of the Lincoln Memorial in
Potomac Park will be protested by the
Georgia delegation in Congress, II was
announced yesterday. The Secretary of
War will be asked to set aside the bid Of
the George A Fuller Company, which
II is proposed to accept, and to award
the contract to John Gill & Sons, the
lowest bidders. It is claimed.
1t is proposed by the Fuller Company
to use Colorado yule marble in the con-
struction of the memorial, which will cost
100000 The Gill Company submitted
its proposal for building the memorial
with Georgia marble.
Representative Bell Of Georgia is one
of the leaders in the agitation. When
the proceedings of the meeting OF the
Lincoln Memorial commission can be OBJ
tanned by the Georgians, they intend to
start an investigation. 1t was proposed
at first to start a House investigation.
Secretary Of War Garrison Is consider
ing the protest and is said to be OF the
belief that the contention OF the Georgia
that he, instead of the COM
should have awarded the con-
tract is correct.
Representative Bell said he had un-
that Mr.. Garrison would defer
action on the bid OF the Fuller Company
until every angle of the case had been
examined. He said that yule marble is
not as durable as Georgia marble, and
that the bid of the Gill Company should
be accepted.

but a mere fraction OF what she would
be obliged to pay for the work in the

Ornamentation of many articles OF her
own clothing that hitherto she has always
worn without this exquisite medium OF
decoration. mainly from the reason OF
the prohibitive prices invariably asked
for high-clasS needlewOrk OF any kind.
Just al the present time there is a
rush for the Imperial Pattern Packets at

7 cents extra. SO the girl who intends
to do embroidery should lose no time in
getting this outfit, which. if bought in

and the opportunity of obtaining it for a
sum less than one-twentieth the amount
should be sufficient to appeal to every
lady who is at all interested in the pleas
