Capers Denies Eating With Judson Lyons
Washington dispatch reports from South Carolina and other southern points question whether Captain John G. Capers attended the Republican National Committee dinner where Judson Lyons of Georgia was a guest. Accounts differ on Capers presence or speech, with sources noting social and political tensions over race and party alignment. Capers, a U S district attorney and son of a bishop, has been active in Republican circles and aims for a federal judgeship if a South Carolina district seat opens.

French Cruiser at New Orleans for Centennial Events
New Orleans December 16 The French second class cruiser Jurien de la Graviere arrives at 9 am to represent France in the centennial transfer celebration of Louisiana to the United States. U S cruisers Minneapolis Yankee and Topeka are stationed before the city for the ceremonies, with the Hartford, Admiral Farragut’s flagship forty-one years ago, having preceded them. The Spanish cruiser Rio de la Plata is expected but may arrive too late to participate. President Roosevelt has yet to designate a U S representative for the event as France and Spain have already named theirs.

A Constitution interview with an officer at Fort McPherson indicates Atlanta will likely host depots for the commissary and quartermaster departments as well as the recreated military department of the Gulf with headquarters in the city. The move would boost local commerce, warehousing, and job opportunities, with potential for over a hundred clerks and expanded army purchasing through Atlanta’s rail and manufacturing strength.
