CALVIN QUITS As
HEAD Of GEORGIA
DIVISION j. {. Y.

Hon. Martin V. Calvin, of Way
cross, who was chosen commander OF
the Georgia division, U. G. ", at the
annual reunion at Americus in Au-
gust last, has sent the Times-Re-
corder the following letters to mem
bers of the division, with request for
publication:
To The Members of the Georgia Di-
vision. U. c. V.
Comrades: l fully appreciated and
shall always hold in high regard, the
great honor you conferred on me,
when, at our annual reunion at
Americus, August 25, 1916, you elect
ed me commander of the Georgia divis-
ion, U. C. V.
The fact that l was not candidate
for the exalted position, or present on
tie day of the election, made your
generous gift distinct honor, which
touched my heart, not my head
After some delay, caused by an ap-
rrehension on my part that my pre-
election duties might conflict with
those of commander. l gave you the
benefit of the doubt and accepted the
position.
Later, saw more clearly that the
duties, to which l have referred, would
greatly hinder me in the work which
4 feel the commander should do for
the division-more particularly in
view of the grand reunion to be held
at Washington, D. c., June At, 1917.
After mature deliberation, reluc-
tantly, and with heartfelt regret, con-
cluded that l could not possibly give
to the division the thought, the time
and the close personal attention which
l would deem necessary to it's ap-
pearance at the national capital in
number and in form and manner that
would comport with the dignity of an
occasion which will be universally re-
earded as one of the most notable in
the annals of this great republic, or,
70 the matter of that, in the annals
Of the whole world.
Controlled by this view of the sit
uation, | felt it my duty to resign the
commandership, so that some comrade,
more at liberty than myself, could be
appointed, without delay, as my sue
cessor.
am confident that the comrade
who will be named will be given your
cordial endorsement, and that he will
do the division and himself proud on
every occasion of interest to you.
l salute you my beloved comrades,
and beg that you will accept the as
surance of my high personal regard
and admiration. oYur appreciative
friend, MARTIN V. CALVIN,
Second Georgia Battalion Sharp
Shooters. Army of Tennessee,

The Raiders At Sea.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Local ship
ping men pointed that the wireless
warning that the British ship St. Theo-
dore had been converted into a Ger
man commerce raider as tending to
prove that two raiders were in the
Atlantic. 1t is recalled that ship
was sunk south of the equator eight
days after the raider was sighted six
hundred miles west of Fastnet. They
say that it is impossible for any yes-
sci to cover that distance in such time.

OF MEN IN WADE CASE
ADMIRAL DEWEY IS
BURIED WITH HONOR

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 21.-The
remains of Admiral George Dewey
were buried today in Arlington Ma
tional cemetery here with all possible
honors. The funeral services were
held under the dome of the capitol, at
tended by President Wilson, members
CT the cabinet, Supreme court justices,
the diplomatic corps and other nota-
bles. The public ceremonies were fol-
lowed by private rites in the Dewey
home here, these being attended only
by members of the family.
Business was suspended throughout
the funeral hour as tribute of re-
spect to the sailor chieftain, and every
naval ship fired an admiral's salute as
a mark of honor to the memory of
Dewey. The funeral was one of the
most imposing in the history of the
nation.
The private services began at 10
O'Clock. Soon afterwards the body was
down Massachusetts avenue to the
escorted by midshipmen and carried
capitol for public services.
There was no funeral oration, and
after the funeral services were read, a
quartet sang Lead Kindly Light" and
Abide With Me-"
A large military escort accompani-
ed the body to the cemetery.

Absence of Frank
Hooper Prevents
a Decision
LIKELY CALL A
SPECIAL SESSION
None But R ella
tives Allowed
to Visit The
Prisoners

No date has yet been set for the
next trial in the Wade case.
An informal conference was held
yesterday afternoon with Judge Lit
tlejohn, Attorneys J. A. HiXon, Harry
Hawkins, Hollis Fort, W. P. Wallis, l..
J. Blalock and j. E. Sheppard, which
was called with the idea Of selecting
a tentative date. The absence OF
Frank Hooper, of Atlanta, who has
been designated as leading counsel for
several of the defendants, postponed
action as to the date.
Judge Hixon announced that the
state was ready to go to trial at any
time selected. The attorneys for the
defense said that they knew of no
reason why they were not ready. still
the absence of Mr. Hooper forbade a
definite statement as to a specific
time.
The conference was to have been
held yesterday morning, but the abb
sence from the city of Judge Little
john, who was in Ellaville on legal
business, caused a postponement un-
ii; the afternoon.
Judge Littlejohn did not adjourn
Superior court yesterday, as was eX-
Lccted, because of several matters
pending in regard to bank cases,
which the court desires closed out be-
fore the life of the present term
ceases.
1t is not improbable that the court
will adjourn some time next week,
and that a special session may be
called for the consideration of the
Wade case. 1t is reliably said that
DR.. C. X. Chapman will again be ar
raigned by the state as the first de-
tendant to go on trial.
1t is expected that the cases will be
set for a date between now and the
middle or Mdrcn. Inc ClIy court has
already suspended one regular ses-
sion because of the Wade cases, and
the next term of this court will begin
On the third Monday in March. In
April, Judge Littlejohn begins again
his rounds of the Southwestern cir
cult.
No Outside Visitors.
After the mistrial was declared,
Sheriff Harvey advised the public that
none but the immediate families OF
the defendants would be allowed to
yisit them. Parties other than close
relatives must first secure permission.

WHAT IS MERCHANTMEN
MAY BE THE PUZZLE
One Boat Is Taken
Into a German
Harbor, Says
Report

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 2O.-The
German statement that neutrals
among the crews of vessels captured
by the raider had been removed as
prisoners of war raised complicated
questions if Americans are among
them. The whole question hinged up
On whether the armed merchantmen is
warship. The United States holds
that the defensively armed merchant
man is not a warship.
