lady had expressed her great sympa

on the subject of young girls wrlttc
by Judge Lindsey, of Colorado, long
known as one of the prime movers of

Mr. Richard T. Burden was made
secretary, who offered the following
resolutions:
Resolutions Adopted.
"Whereas, the practice of arresting.
Imprisoning and otherwise punisliin
youthful violators of the law. with and
as ordinary criminals is exceedingly
hurtful, both to these unfortunate chll
dren and to society, further criminal
izing the one jeopardizing the best in
terests of tho other;
"Therefore Resolved: First: That we
organize themselves into a Juvenile
Protectory Association of Bibb County
with tho aim of establishing a Juvenile
Court and Probation System for this
city and county, favoring legislation
to better the condition of delinquent
and mis-directed children throughout
the State and also of aiding in any
way in our power, the organized In
ter-State movement which looks to the
redemption and proper training of the
wayward children of the State.
“Ssecond: That we request our
representatives from Bibb to support
the bill now pending before the Leg
islature, looking to the establishment
of the Juvenile court and probatnion
System in every county in the State
of Georgia, not creating a new court
but giving the Court of Ordinary juris
diction over Juvenile offenders.
"Third: That In the meantime
juvenile offenders arises in our midst
we request our judges presiding over
the various courts in this city, to sus
pend the sentence or continue the case
of the youthful violators of the law
and turn over the same for a spec!
fled t rm to a suitable volunteer or
appointed probation officer, who ^jrill
endeavr to accomplish the redemption
of such juvenile offenders during their
probation period.”
Law Would Accomplish Good.
Rev. Crawford Jackson supported the
resolutions and explained that the law
as outlined in the Telegraph yesterday
morning would accomplish much good
He said he would propose that the
ministers of the city appoint probation
ary officers to act until the bill Intro-
duced in the House became a law
There should he both white and col

Talks were made by Rev. T. D. Ellis
Mr. Chap. H. Hall and others, after
which the resolutions were unani

The following committee was ap
pointed to ask the ministers of the
city, both white and colored, to ap

The talks made by the various gen

showed that they were in thorough

said that the various judges wouid be
glad of the opportunity to place the
young criminals in charge of proba

perplexed as to what disposition
could be made of a number of cases
coming before them.
GRAND NAVAL REVIEW
AT JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.
NORFOLK. Va„ April 2.—President
Tucker, of the Jamestown exposition,
upon his return today from Wash

that Secretary of the Navy Metcalf
had suggested that May 13th or 15th,
be designed as special navy days. This

SUES FOR COMMISSION
INSURANCE PREMIUM.
Alleging that he is damaged in the
sum of $57.17, because of the refusal
of TV. S. Simmons to accept $2,000 in
surance which had been previously
contracted far, E. H. Holland yesterday
entered suit in the superior court
aga'nst the former.
Holland claims that Simmons agreed
to buy $2,000 insurance from the Sun
Life Assurance Company, of Canada,
and that when he delivered the policy
Simmons refused to accept it, thereby
making him the loser of his commis
sion of the $S7.50 premium.
THE MEN WHO WORE THE GRAY.
(By Father Ryan.)
Tell it as you may.
It never can be told;
Bing it as you will.
It never can be sung;—
The story of the glory
Of the men who wore the gray
In their graves, so still;
The story of the living,
Unforgiven, yet forgiving-
Tbe victims still of hate,
TVho have forever clung
With a love that will not die.
To the memories of our past
Who are patient and who wait,
True and faithful to the last.
For the Easter morning sky.
When Wrong's rock shall roll away
From the sepulchre of Right,
And the right shall rise again
In the brightness of a light
That shall never fade away,
Triumphantly and glorious
To teach once more to men
The conquered are victorious.
The conquered in the strife.
Tho’ their children yet shall reign
By their patience and their peace;
They shall fill the people’s life,
From Right’s ever virgin vein, t
With the purest blood that fiow3,
Trade the purer by our woes.
Without stain and without cease,
Till the children of our foes
Shall be proud and glad to claim
And to write upon one scroll
Every dear and deathless name
On our 'Southern muster roll.
Ah! we rebels met defeat
On the gory battlefield.
And we flung our muskets down
When our bonnie flag was furled;-
But our Right did but retreat
With pure honor for her shield, *
And with justice for her crown * .
From the forces of the world;
(For against us thousands came.
Money brought from every clime,
But we stood against them all.
For the honor of our name.
Till the fated day of time *
Came but to crown our fall
With a fadeless wreath of fame.)
Retreat Into that shrine.
Back of every Southern breast,
Your hearts, my friends and mine
Where right finds a holy rest
On the altar stairs that slope
Toward the throne where reigns the
just.
Where we still live on In hope,
And in Him we place our trust. •
Is lt treason thus to sing?
Why. then, treason let it be.
Must we stoop to fawn on Wrong?
To the Idol must we bring
Our heart’s idolatry
And the fealty of song?
No, no—the past Is past—
Tray lt never come again:
May no drum or bugle blast
Summon warriors to the plain!
The battle’s play Is o’er.
We staked our all and lost—
The red wild waves that tossed
The Southland's sacred barque
Are sleeping on the shore.
She went down in the dark.
Is it wrong for us to listen
To the waves that still will glisten
Where the wreck we loved went down?
Is it wrong to watch the willows
That are drooping o’efthe grave?
Is it wrong to love our brave?
Are our memories a treason
To the powers we must obey?
Can the victors give a reason
Why the men who wore the gray
From our hearts should march away
And should pass from us forever
L ! ke the dreamings of the night*
Do they want the South to sever
The blood consecrated ties.
The sacred bonds of sorrow
That will link our last tomorrow
To our gl'ry hallowed past?
Ah! our hearts cry. Never! Never!
For each soldier heart that fries
Tn our memory still is heating:
Tho’ the years are fast retreating,
We' remember to the last.
Nay. tell it as you may.
It never can be told.
And sing it as you will.
It never can be sung—
Mary Taylor, a negro woman, was
discovered dead in bed at her home.
303 Elbert street, early yesterday
morning by neighbors. The discovery
caused no little excitement in the
community and police headquarters
was numerously notified that a "wo
man had been killed, and found dead
in bed.”
Coroner Young- was notified later of
the death, and went to the scene,
where he held an inquest. He found
no marks or scars on the body that
would indicate that the woman was
murdered, and after a thorough ex
amination a verdict was rbached that
the deceased had come to her death
by heart failure.

the 1994 campaign, that the great cor

ment :
"That $150,009 was turned over by

Mr. Harriman’s statement because
there is a not a committee before
whom Bliss and Corteiyou and others
can be summoned and compelled to
testify. Congress has refused to make
an investigation of the corporate con
tributions of 1504 or to pass a law
prohibiting corporate contributions in
the future. The money raised by Mr.
Harriman and contributed by the life
insurance companies aggregated $350.-

To the Editor Telegraph: I have
been reading with instruction and
pleasure Hon. John T. Bolfeuilet's
“Caught on the Wing” article in the
columns of your excellent journal.
In Saturday’s Telegraph he had
very interesting and valuable story
of monuments at various points in this
State. He mentioned briefly a shaft
on Greene street in Augusta—evident
ly alluding to the Cenotaph in front
of St. James M. E. church. South.
The history of that cenotaph is full
of interest; because it resulted from
the first movement set on foot in the
entire South with a view to honoring
her "Hero Dead.”
That movement was inaugurated in
October, 1865.1ess than six months aft
er Appomattox.
Tho writer hereof was the movant.
He was still on his crutches, as he
was for months afterwards, from a
serious wound received during the
battle at Franklin, Tenn. It occurred
to him one day that steps should be
taken to honor those who had given
their lives for the cause of the South.
His thought was to have St. Juntos
Sabbath school, in which he had been
reared, begin the great and worthy
work. He communicated his purpose
to Mr. William Curren Derry.long
years superintendent of the school
and one of the very best men that
ever trod Georgia soil, who heartily
approved it. Later Mr. Derry came
to him and said his son. Prof. Joseph
T. Derry, whose facile pen has been
devoted to telling the wondrous story
of the gallsntry of Confederate sol
diers on every battlefield of. the
"Great War” wished to second the
resolutions I proposed to offer. This
request was gladly acceded to; for the
latter had also been reared in that
Sabbath school of indescribable influ
ence and power for good.
The writer dragted the resolutions
which provided all the machinery nec
essary to the accomplishment of the
object in view. He spoke in support
of the resolutions and Mr. Joe Derry
followed in an eloquent speech, sec
onding them.
A committee was appointed and
work begun. The first thought was to
honor the memory of twenty-four
young men who went out from the
sehool to the army and yielded their
lives, a heroic sacrifice on the altar
of their country.
La<er, it was determined to include
the “Hero Dead” of Richmond County.
In a few months, a goodly sum of
money was in hand. and. at the earl
iest possible moment, tho cenitaph
was contracted for, .erected and form
ally unveiled—Col. Joseph B. Cum
spread. Some damage from water was
done in the stores of Heinz & Sons, Op-
penheim’s saloon. Brown & Allen’s dreg
store and Essig Bros., clothiers. The total
damage will reach, it is stated. $25,000.
ATLANTA POLICE OFFICERS
FORCE SUBORDINATED.
ATLANTA, April 2.—The Atlanta
police board met tonight and sprung a
surprise by dropping two captains and
seven sergeants, making the two drop
ped, Captains Joiner. and Mayo, sta
tion sergeants. Twenty-one men were
dropped from the force. Four were
elected. Henry Jenning renamed as
chief.
Died From Burns.
ATLANTA. April 3.—Fannie Belle
Lee. 14 years old. daughter or Mr. and
Mrs. L. S. Lee. of 2C Jones avenue, dl d
at the Grady Hospital at midnight as the
result of burns received yesterday after
noon. The girl had her young baby sister
in her arms at the time her clothing
was discovered to be on fire. A sister tore
the infant from the arms of the burnir
girl and saved its life. The girl r<
mained unconscious up to the. time of
her death.
It was St. James Sabbath school,
therefore, that first lifted a voice in
favor of honoring her Confederate
dead, and thus made a patriotic sug
gestion to which the whole South no
bly responded.
Bear in mind the fact that this
world’s history, was begun In less j c
than six months after the close of the
war. Have you ever thought that no
people, other than the American peo
ple. could have risen to so high a con
ception of duty and propriety? It is
true—gloriouslv frus. Respectfully.
MARTIN V. CALVIN,
Confederate Veteran ’Gl-’65.

NEGRO COMMITS MURDER IN
LUMBER CAMP NEAR DUDLEY.
Mr. William Barton, who conducts a
lumber camp near Dudley, on the M.,
D. & S. R- R- was in the city last
night, and brought the news of a cold
blooded murder among the negroes of
the camp on Monday night.
It was about 10 o'clock when a quar
rel sprung up among the negroes con
cerning some woman. During the
quarrel a negro named Jesse Warren
walked out of one room into another
where Murray Gray and others were
standing, and fired, killing Murray.
Warren then fled in the darkness.
Warren went also by the names of
Warren Williams and Charlie Williams.
He is a mulatto, about 23 years of age.
He has relatives living near Tennilie.
and Is supposed to have gone in that
direction. He formerly worked on
Mack Smith’s lumber camp near Mil-
ledgeville.
only the members of the commission
and the official stenographer would be
present at Thaw’s last ordeal, both ai-
torneys for the defense and the dis
trict attorney being barred.
The announcement that the com
mission desired to renew its private
examination of Thaw came at the end
of a day of many witnesses and was
in the nature of a complete surprise.
The decision was probably due to the
conflicting character of the testimony
heard today. It was another battle
of alienists with those engaged by
the district attorney declaring Thaw
to be absolutely incapable of under
standing his own condition, of realiz
ing tho nature of the charge against
him or of rationalljf conferring with
counsel, while those' engaged by the
defense declared that Thaw through
out the trial had acted in a rational
manner, had rationally advised his
counsel in their hearing nnd fully un
derstood and appreciated everything
connected with his case and trial.
The experts for the prosecution ad
mitted that they had reached their
conclusions as to Thaw’s present state
of mental uhsoundness from distant
observations of him in the court room
and from writings alleged' to have
emenated front him during the trial.
Among the latter were twenty-four
pages of newspaper clippings and
memorandum written by Thaw as
suggestions to his chief attorney, Del-
phin M. Delmas, for his summing up
address to the jury. Mr. Jerome’s ex
perts declared these writings, intro
duced before the commission by tho
defendant’s own counsel to prove his
sanity, were the writings of an. in
sane man. The experts for th© de
fense declared there was absolutely
nothing in the writings upon which lo
predicate an opinion of mental uu-
soundness..
After the experts had finished Mr.
Delmas himself took the stand, declar
ed that many of Thaw's suggestions
were most valuable, and that he in
tended to incorporate some of the sug
gestions in his summing up addre=s.
The .alienists for the defense in testi
fying declared that they had the ad
vantage of constant personal examina
tions of the defendant while the prose
cutions witnesses had not.
The Tombs physician, two chaplains
of the city prison, several guards and
a probation officer took the stand and
testified that Thaw in prison had acted
and spoken like a rational man.
The commission decided today to ad
mit the much discussed testimony of
Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton, who
stated that ho made four examinations
of Harry Thaw, the last in July. 1006.
He camo to the conclu-jon at the time
that Thaw was suffering from chronic
delusional Insanity or paranoia, and
still held to that belief. On cross-ex
amination Dr. Hamilton admitted he
had not examined tho defendant re
cently. The defendant’s counsel fought
ainst Dr. Hamilton’s testimony to ! !■
very last.
The mebers of the commission cross-
exam'ned several of the district at
torney's alien: at length, inquiring as
to the consistency of their testimony
now that Thaw is insane and has been
so for several years, as against their
testimony at the trial when in answer
to a hypothetical question they declar
ed Thaw knew the nature and quality
of h’s act when he shot and killed
Ft'.nf.Td White, and knew that the act
: was wrong Dr. Austin Fylnt declared
j that Thaw was insane from the alien
ists p.dnt <>f view when the homicide
occurred, but was insane in the lan
guage of the law.
Mr. Jerome's experts, one after an
other agreed that Thaw is a paranoiac
and that his- case is incurable.
Dr. Fylnt gave a new touch to the
form -of insanity from which it is al
leged Thaw is suffering, by declaring
that his former paranoiacal delusions of
persecution are rapidly changing into
"Delusions of grandeur.”
