Lord de Clifford is a very tiny baron, for he is aged three only, and if he does not persist in claiming his hereditary rights it may be decided that he is too young to attend the ceremony. He succeeded his father in 1909 after the tragic motor accident that made him an orphan. Below is Baroness Beaumont, who is also a peeress of The empire in her own right. The Baroness Beaumont, another youthful peeress in her own right will remember the coronation of King Edward, but her robes will have to be lengthened, for they wero made then for a damsel of seven. The barony she enjoys is a very ancient one, which has been in abeyance twice only Bince the fourteenth century. Queen Victoria called it out of abeyance nine months after the death of the late baron.

TO FIGHT TRANSFER

OF C0LTWRITII1GS Christian Science Officials Will Not Give Up Documents to Her Sons. (American News Service) j New York, Feb. 11. "Officials of the Christian Science church will fight to the end any attempt made by the sons of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy to secure the church books and writings of the cult." This announcement was made today by Eugene R. Cox, chairman of the publicity committee of the Christian Science publications, foliowing'a publication of the report that a legal battle would be begun by Mrs. Eddy's blood heirs. It was learned here that legal action is to be started against the board of trustees of the first church who deposed Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson, the ex-communicated leader. Many of the Stetsonites have employed counsel and are prepared to make a fight in the courts unless their names are again placed on the church roll. Apparently, Dr. Eddy and Mrs. Glover, Mrs. Eddy's sons, are after publicity," Mr. Cox said. Their attorney W. E. Chandler, in bis fight to break Mrs. Eddy's will, has done more to attract newspaper attention than any other way. His efforts, one would think, have been made more to frighten and dismay Christian Scien tists. He hasn't succeeded and he neer will. It's a safe bet that-anything Mr. Chandler says is not true. The board will fight to protect the interests of the church." BUILDING COLLAPSED At Brussels Exposition and Three Killed. (American News Service) Brussels, Feb. 11.

Southern Commercial Con

gress, Which Meets at Atlanta in March, of Interest to the Nation. PRESIDENT TAFT IS TO BE HONOR GUEST Some of the Most Distin guished. Men in the Country Will Be Speakers at Gigantic Meeting. BY G. GROSVENOR OAWE. Managing Director, Southern Commer cial Congress. Washington, D. C, Feb. 11. Since President Lincoln was called fifty years ago to preside over the destin- , ies of a disrupted country ten other men have occupied the presidential chair. The tenth, President Taft, will, on March 10th,. spend the entire day In. Atlanta, Georgia, as the guest of tho Southern Commercial Congress and there take part in meetings that, by reason of their contrast with conditions in 1S61, will be historic in their setting and historic in their effects. In fifty years of our history no more striking eveidence of the transition of thought and pf a new and stronger union will have been presented to the country than that involved in(the three day's sessions of the Southern Commercial Congress. Before in any way touching upon the features of the program it is well to understand that the Southern Commercial Congress is not, the name of an annual meeting, but is the name of a movement born in 1908 from the conviction that whereas, a message, sent out from the South in 1961, led to struggle and immeasurable misery and national agouy the time had come for a new message to go odt of the South to the nation couched in the language of commerce, which Is the language ot peace and "based upon the natural resources of the South and their significance in increasing national strength. It Is not necessary to detail the work of the past three years, but day after day, the men of the present gen eration who set to themselves tho task of framing up this message to the nation aud to the world have -quietly worked forward towards a moment when, in a day, the South and its meaning to the nation might reach cv ery thinking mind in the - United States and thus sweep away ' forever the barrier of misunderstanding that was created by the war between the states. Why ir is Important. It will now be seen why the third anual convention of the Southern Commercial Congress is a natianat event and it will also be easy to uu der stand why President Taft and, two of his cabinet officers, Governor Woodrow Wilson, (who by the way. Is a Virginian.) the Governors of all the Southern States, and more than a hundred speakers distinguished in the bus iness affairs of the nation will be in Atlanta to witness the new union of the South along the lines of construe tive statesmanship. The program 1 is perhaps the most imposing ever brought together in the history of the nation. It is divided in-o eight main divisions. ' 1st Welcome : and General State ment. ' ' m .. 2nd. 3rd. 4tb. External Views of the South The solid South of Business. The World as a Market for th South. Sth. Making the New South Under stand. 6th. A Review of the - Business Forces. 7th. Section Meetings. Sth. The South s Highest Thought. Dealing with the eighth division first, an idea of the weight and char- ' acter o fthe w hole? program can be obtained. The SouthV higher thought in business will be described by William G. McAdoo, of New York, born in Georgia, under the topic '"Corporations and the Public." The SoutU's , higher thought in education will bo describe! by Chancellor Houston, (bora In North Carolina, educated. In South Carolina, for long the head 'of the University ot Texas and now ; beading Washington University, of St. LouIs,Missouri.) under the topic "The Sonths Educational Obligation." .'The South's higher thought in politics will be described by Governor Woodrow Wilson, under the ,topic,Tte Citizen and the State. The South's higher thought in lawwill be described by Secretary of War Dickinson, of Tennessee, under the topic "The Enforcement of Law In the South." The South's higher thought in the nation will be described by President Taft, whose words will come as the capstone of the three day's session under the- topic "A Greater Nation through a Greater South-". j i -Jn Seventh Division." ' , In the seventh division there will be fourteen section - meetings, held concurrently, embracing agriculture, com merce, commercial organizations, i a lira tion. forests, good, roads, health, immigration, insurance, land, reclama-
