(Telegram.)
Mrs. William J. Behan,
1207 Jackson Avenue, New Orleans, La.:
Letter here; do not think advisable taking further action now: will explain situation to you on my return.
My Dear Mrs. Behan:
Yours received. No! Do not think of giving out anything to newspapers until the restoration of Mr. Davis' name is assured. It would be foolhardy. You have Mr. Adolph Meyer at work; you have appointed your "Cabin John Bridge" Committee, who know the resolutions of the June Convention. My watchword is "Silence, and restoration by Commission of War Department."
Yours hurriedly,
1908.
IN MEMORIAM.
On March 8, 1908, the "Cabin John Bridge" Committee suffered the loss of an invaluable member by death,
Honorable Adolph Meyer,
The following extract from the Congressional Record of the Sixtieth Congress, First Session, Washington, Sunday, May 10, 1908, shows the esteem in which Hon. Meyer was held by his fellow-citizens:
Eulogies on the Late Representative Meyer.
Mr. Ransdell, of Louisiana: Mr. Speaker, I offer the resolution which I send to the Clerk's desk.
