Stopped Over Yesterday For
Few Hours En- route to
Nashville.
GUEST OF T. C. UNDERWOOD
Still Loyal TO The Home of His
Early Childhood
Days.

Mr.. Hugh Martin, a former Hop
kinsville boy, known to the music
lovers of two continents as Ricardo
Martin, spent five hours in Hopkins
vile yesterday as the guest of his
cousin Mr.. T. c. Underwood. The
gentlemen are first cousins, their
mothers having been sisters.
Mr.. Martin, who was en- route to
Nashville, arrived on special pass

until the 5:32 train in the afternoon.
He went quietly to the home Of
Mr.. Underwood and spent the time
he was here with his relatives. This
is the second time Mr.. Martin has
been here since he left Hopkinsville

made a short stop-over in the city.

Accepted By President. No Sue
cesSOr Is Named Pres.
May Take Charge.
SECOND OFFICER TO QUIT
Reason Is Failure of Wilson to
'Irrevocably' Support Con.
tinental Army Plan,

Washington, Feb. 11.-Secretary
of War Lindley M. Garrison resigned
yesterday because President Wilson
would not 'irrevocably" support the
continental army plan, and because
he opposes the administrations pro-
gram of setting a definite time for
Philippine independence.
President Wilson accepted the res
ignation and has not yet selected a
successor. The President himself
probably will take personal charge of
the administration national defense
plans in congress.
Assistant Secretary Breckenridge
also resigned as a mark of loyalty to
bis chief, whose view he shares. The
President accepted his resignation.
Both take effect Immediately. Maj
or-General Scott, chief-of-staff of the
army, automatically becomes secre-
tary OF war ad interim.
1t is known that one of Secretary
Garrison's principal reasons for his
conviction that only a federal CONT
mental army, instead of reorganized
national guard, could be the main
military dependence of the nation
was his belief that some day the
United States may be called upon to
defend the Monroe doctrine, and in
that event he foresaw that the nation
al guard might not be available for
use outside of the United States be-
fore declaration of war.
Upon that contention, on the one
hand, that the continental army or
ultimately universal service was the
nations only reliance, and the posi-
ton on the other, that no one plan
could be enforced upon congress,
President Wilson and his secretary
of war parted official company.

Gen. Wood in Atlanta.

Gen. Leonard Wood, commander
of the East, was in Atlanta Wednes-
day to arouse enthusiasm in the mill
tary training camp to be held at Fort
Oglethorpe beginning April 3. He
spoke at a luncheon given by the
chamber of commerce and reiterated
what he has said about advantages to
be gained from such training. In
speaking of the cost, he said it did
not amount to much, being about $3.50
for a uniform and the deposit OF $50
required by the government AT the
end of the encampment IS would be
returned, he said.

The two vital points upon which
Secretary Garrison and President
Wilson differed were these: The Sec
rotary favored compulsory enlistment
irregular army soldiers toincrease the
army, while the President prefers to
incorporate the national guards and
increase by voluntary enlistments.
ON the Philippine question the Sec
Xretary differed from the President,
in that he was opposed to granting
the islands independence in the near
future. He wanted to take the stump
to advocate his own views, which
would have been inconsistent with
the administrations plans. Secretary
Garrison should have profted by the
fate of Secretary Bryan and followed
rather than to try to lead

PASSED THE
MILLION MARK
Tobacco Sales Reach The Flood
Tide on LOOse Floor
Market.
100000 POUNDS IN WEEK
Slight Drop in Prices From
Last Weeks General
Average.
100000 POUNDS IN WEEK

The last week in January showed
$4,000 pounds, last week 10000
pounds and this week passes the mil
lion mark with 1,O25,OOO pounds of
tobacco sold on the loose floors.
AS might have been expected the
dumping of this vast volume of to-
bacco on the market would bring with
the deliveries some of the lower types
and grades and there was a slight de-
crease in the general average price
for the week, but it is still well above
the seasons average.
The receipts continue very heavy
day and night and the busiest places
in town are the various warehouses.
The amount paid for tobacco in the
city during the last three weeks was
about 1925, 600, to say nothing of the
contract sales, and this influx of ready
money has had a good effect in all
branches Of business and there is an
easier feeling in business circles gen
orally.
The stream of wagons pouring to-
bacco into the city from every road is
coming from a radius of forty to fifty
miles, Logan, Todd, Muhlenburg,
Christian, Trigg, Caldwell, Hopkins,
Lyon, Crittenden, in Kentucky, and
Cheatham, Montgomery, Stewart and
others in Tennessee. The turnpikes
are being appreciated fully and many
loads are not made up until they reach
the good roads. Light loads are
hauled to the nearest pike and then
doubled up to come to town. Some
is hauled through farms to get to a
pike.
The schedule of the prices for the
week was as follows:
Trash $3.50 to SO. Is
Lugs $500" $5.75.
Com Lear S5.UU to SS.5U.
Med Leaf $500 to $3.50.
Good Leaf $500 to $3.50
