BUILDING FUND is STILL SHORT
+ $4,000, SAYS PRESIDENT
w. B. HALDEMAN.
WORK STOPPED By THE War
Gen. Geo. M. LittIe6eld, Nof Texas,
I5as Given $4,000 Towards
the Erection.

In a statement to the Unitea Con-
feterate Veterans, in session at At
lanta. General w. B. Haldeman, Of
Louisville. asserted that least $780,
600 more was needed to complete
the Jefferson Davis Memorial at Fair
view. XIV. in addition to the $4,000
On Hand and already pledged.
1t is planned to complete the me-
mortal and park containing it on the
anniversary of Davis birth, June Q
1920, but Gen. Haldeman said il
would require energetic efforts. He.
said:
II prefer to make my appeal to
the masses for the sum needed, $780,
600, and not make it solely to a few
wealthy men, for believe that The
people of the great South will
promptly make response and give
the world full knowledge of their
continued love of the great Pyesi-
dent of tie Confederate States /"
The project of this monument be-
gan and work had started before the
United States was at war. The war
conditions have caused the Jefferson
Davis Home Association, which is
building the monument, to face many
difficulties which made it impossible
to have the monument ready for
dedication of Jefferson Davis birth
day in June 1918, as had Sbeen ex-
pected. However IT'S feet of the to-
tai of $50 for the monument had
been completed when the work was
until the war ended. In
| statement shortly before the ill
hess that caused his death, Gen. Ben
lett H. Young, first president of the
Association, said that increase IN

ion added so per cent to the origin

Geo. w. Littlefeld, of Austin, Tex,
who had already given $4,000 to-
ward the monument, announced that
he would give $4,000 more as soon
IS the BALANCE necessary for COM
'letion was arranged. This was pro-
ided for, but proved inadequate UNI
er present conditions and hence the
ppeal Of Gen. Haldeman, Gen. j
,oung's successor. II

inued as long as it did. Is
The monument was well repre- J

ATTACKS DRY Law
Rhode Island Starts Supreme Court
Acficn Against Amendment

Rhode Island Starts Supreme Court
Action Against Amendment
Further proceedings to invalidate
the national prohibition amendment
were begun yesterday in the United
States Supreme Court.
The State Of Rhode Island,
through its attorney general, Her
bert A. Rice, filed a motion with
the court, asking. permission to
bring in an original suit to test the
legality OF the amendment and the
Volstead enforcement legislation.
In it's bill of complaint, the State
defines the amendment as uecnstl-
tutional. revolutionary and usurpa-
tory, and requests that Attorney
General Palmer and Daniel c. Ro-
per, commissioner of internal reve-
nue., be enjoined from enforcing it IN
Rhode Island.
The general features OF the
States motion resemble similar
proceedings instituted in the Su-
preme Court Tuesday by the Retail
Liquor Dealers Associations OF Ne"
Jersey, declaring the amendment
vcid and asking permission to bring
IN original test SUIT.
Both applications make the point
that the final ratifying power OF a
constitutional amendment rests with
the people; and that The State legls-
latures, in proceeding to ratify the
prohibition amendment without sub
hitting it to referendum, usurped
that power. Added significance and
Importance is given yesterdays pro-
ceedings, however, by the fact that
