L. Phillips, chairman of the Republican national state committee for Georgia, charging fraud in the execution of war contracts. Beyond confirming reports that the warrant had been issued, Commissioner Hitt, refused tonight to discuss the case. Phillips, as a member of the firm of Phillips & Stevens, obtained a contract soon after the armistice from the government to dispose of surplus lumber left from cantonment and camp construction and other war building developments, the firm having been designated by a conference of lumber dealers to act as their agent. Reprsentative Woodruff (Republican) of Michigan in a speech recently in the house asserted that officia' reports had been filed by government auditors in September, 1921, showing that Phillips & Stevens still owed the government under this contract more than $1,850,000, and that so far as he could learn "no proceedings whatevei bad been instituted in th's connection." Although it had been generally reported during the first week that the special grand jury now sitting here on war fraud cases had been engaged in consideration of evidence dealinp with contracts for sale of surplus lumber, there had been no statement from any official source to indicate whether the Phillips & Stevens contract had been among those presented. So far as could be learned the grand jury has yet to hand down its first indictment and issuance of r. warrant prior to indictment was declared by some officials to be an unusual, though not unprecedented, procedure. The lumber contract obtained by Phillips & Stevens called for disposa' of spruce, pine, hemlock and fir lum ber only, according to the report cited by Representative Woodruff He asserted, however, that the firm had obtained and sold surplus sup y^ies of more than 50 varieties, in Pffiffing ipueW hanlwou4?. Mr. Phillips resides in Thomas ville, Ga., in which section he is re ported to own extensive tracts of timber. He also has a home and business in Philadelphia. PERSONAL MENTION Mrs. .1. E.

To the sons and daughters of veterans, Mr. Harding added a word of tribute. 'Speaking as the son of one who fought in the Union cause," he said, "1 want to say^hat I have only gratitude, commendation and the sincerest tribute a man can utter for their sons and daughters who have lived in the great aftermath and ably assisted in turning disunion into union, turning discord into concord and reclaiming for posterity all those things so essential to the welfare of this republic. There comes to my mind such names as dear old Joe Wheeler whom I saw go to the front to defend his country, and Fitzhugh Lee, who headed the first troops that entered Habana in the Spanish-American war. And in hat conflict let me say that we of America were brought into complete accord. President Harding did not hesitate to laud the couprage of the men who fought for the Confederacy, declaring, although he cautioned, that while he did not mean to say that the Confederacy was right, "I am glad to say to you that I believe you thought it was right." Applause that was little less than an ovation greeted the president at the conclusion of his address. The address of Judge Edgar Scurry W iekiU .
