MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY ERECTING STATUE TO
 THE SOUTHERN MAMMY
WASHINGTON BUREAU |
 THE AG EMERALD Washington, D. C., Feb. 10

It becomes certain that southern CTS, led by Senator John Sharp Will Hams of Mississippi and Representa- tive Stedman of North Carolina. will have great difficulty in perpetuating the fame of the southern "mammy" by the erection to her honor in Wash ington of monument.
 It has already been reported that one of the northern" societies has objected. The Phyllis Wheatley Young Women's Christian association has formally filed objections with the Vice President and speaker of the House.
 The objection of this organization is based on the alleged undesirability of perpetuating even reference to the fact that the negro once upon a time was a slave.
 The majority of the women who presented the objections to the Houses of Congress were conspicu- ous by the bearing of lorgnettes.

 Funeral services will be held pri- vately from the Leeds home, prob ably on Monday.
