George Tueker delivered the annual address. The church was packed to overflow ing. several hundred being unable to gain entrance to the church. Mr. Tucker was introduced by Mr.

J. Spotts, of who pie sented the speaker in a most ex? cellent manner, in a speech of about thirty minutes. Mi. Tucker's speech as confined entirely to matters of interest to the veterans, and was pro? nounced a master piece of oratory? dealing with historical fads and in cidenls of his personal knowledge re? garding the Confederacy, which have been matters of dispute for nearly lialf a cctnuiy. and which in time, and subsequent enl? ate proving to be true.

Tucker, dined with the veterans, and still there was enough and to spare. The weather was program simple but interesting, and every? thing moved in good order.

TUCKER ANSWERS MANN'S SPEECH ABOUT EXPOSITION Board Governors Issue State? ment of Management, I of Jamestown Exposition. Judge William Hodges Mann at Tow batan Court house yesterday mailc an attack on Harry St. George Tucker. He dealt with Mr. Tucker's record at length and laid particular 'stress upon his connection with the Jamestown F.xposition?against which lie alleged many shortcomings and for which he held Mr.

Tucker, who was the President, responsible. The Norfolk members of the Rxpo sition's Hoard of Governors today took up Judge Mann's statements in so far as they bois the Jamestown exposition? gave out the following "Speaking at Powhatsn boose. Judge William H. Mann, one of the gubernatorial candidates in i the spptopening Dernoentlc prl? mary, eonstdeied and orltteiaed the Jamestown Exposition ami by more than inference, atlriimted tlie linan I cial failure of that enterprise to the InefMelettey Of his opponent, Hon. Many St.

George Tucker. The report? ed speech by Judge Mann indican a want oi knowledge of the organisa? tion end business management of the Exposition, which In turn Is calculated te the public a like misconception. We therefore, think il bul fair that some informa? tion should be furnished as to what thai organization was. The Ter-Cen tenial was a great undertaking for Virginia. The State appropriated I generously for Us support.

The pioplc of the entile common wealth had a personal Interest its success, I hut as far as we know Judge Mann bad so little concern in its outcome that he visited the celebration just one time, came one afternoon and did not return. This may account for this lack of knowledge Concern ing it affairs. Wiih the sole exception ol St. Louis every expoeltlo of which we know had a manager.or director- gen? with its business affairs, and a president whose duties wen largely diplomatie and When the Jamestown Exposition aras organised Mr. Davis Lowenbeis was made director general and plsced at the head of its buslnCBI manage? ment, and Filshugh Fee was elected president.

Il was understood lhat General Fee's rervlca would be Utilised along lims for liicb his perlenoe ami national reputation peculiarly qualified him, in negotts lions with the National government, the slates and foreign governments. After General Fee's death com? mittee was appointed to solicit Mr. Harry St.George Tucker to accept the presidency. He was distinctly told that he would not be charged with the business management, but that his servicts would be largely required in Europe, In Washington and in the capitale of various states whose OOperatiOO would be solicited. He WS? IndOCed to rosing what Mas believed to be a lifelong position as Professor of Law in the George Washington University.

His salary, while some what more than he was receiving there, was not dispropoitionale in view of the short service of two years which he was expected to give to the further in view of his relinquishment of a permanent posl I tion. As an evidence of Mi. Tucker's standing, it may be said that not only President Roosevelt, but former President Cleveland cordially recom? mended him for the position. Mr.Tucker was lirst sent to Borope where he was most favonibly receiv? ed by the several governments who afteiwards sent their ships to the ex? position. On his return lie was cm ployed almost constantly in Wash? ington In the elfoit to secure govern? ment aid, which effort proved em? inently successful, or in visits to the captials of various states.

Fach- state visited by him accepted the invita? tion to participate in the exposition and erected a building and made ex- hi bits. "After the resignation of Mr. David Rowenburg as director general, the by-laws were amended and the business management was vested in a board of governors. While the by? laws nominally gave the president over the alTairs of the company, they so fixed the div? ision of the responsibilities ihat the governors were solely charged with the business of the company. The president was never a member of the board of governors, and his necessary absence on various diplomatic mis? sions, which detained him for months at a time, even pievenled his paes ence at Ihe meetings of that board.

i The splendid services which he ren in Washington, in the several aleteo and sbroad, were evidenced hf the participation of the National governinenti Ins fetales and foreign ernmentSi Whatever Manic may be due for the failme in tin- DOSlneSi manage? ment is imi ehargaahle to him. Judge Mann charges that the exposi? tion felled, it may he well to state some facts in behalf of the real man? agement. The letlorS of the Spxosttloa to lie OOinpleted at the opening date was primarily due to the delay in the passage of government approprietions which were in east held hack through the opposition in the House of Representatives and others until the close of the scssions.The hill pro vhiing for the creation of Ihe inent pier ami for government aid to the exposition, introduced in 190ft, did not pass until June 80,1908. Contracts for the performance of work for which the government appropiia tion was Intended wore not given unlil so late in season of 1908 that the severe winter and long, rainy spring delayed the performance and resulted in the Incomplete condi? tion of the grounds and buildings on opening day. It is true thai a diicelor general was elected after the opening by the directors hut the movement to ic crcatc that ofheS was inaugurated by the board of governors, ho believed that one man could expedite the work more rapidly than a board of seven.

In fact the Hoard of Gov? ernors, before the opening tendered the position to Mr. w. I. Buchsnsn, formerly director general of the Buffalo exposition. It vvasde ellned by him beeaues he bad been appointed commissioner to the Hague Peace Conference.

(Subsequently the directors with the concurrence the Board of gov rcors, elected director genearl. Tin object was to concentrate the bnsl? ness immagcmcnt of the Exposition, and the action had no it talion lo Un functions or duties of pri sident While the exposition was not Um Unsocial success which It was hoia-di would thai is due in the failmc of attendance.only about one million six hundred tliousandhaviug passed through the gates when it was peeled Dial about live millions would OU su. This failure Of attendance was undoubtedly to Adverse advertise? ment of the Incompleteness of the exposition resulting fiora the condi? tion on opening day. Visitors could not distinguish hieb was the Work of the government, which the work of the exposition company or which the work of ihc stales, several the stale buildings were incomplete, ami were surrounded by scaffoldings, and all incompleteness WM Charged to the coinpan v. As an instance of foresight, ibis ex? position of bas? ing the site, as other expositions In America have done, purchased its that a large part of the expen? ditures for street sewer and gas pipes ami buildings have been preserved ami now -tut a property of great value, widen it is entirely within the range of pos? sibility may be disposed of SO OS to pay the debts of Ihc exposition.

Il is true Dial under orders of the United Slates Court suils ha? been Institut? ed against delinquent stockholders, whose delinquency bepled to Increase the embarsasement of the exposition company during the period of con structlon ami, then, to postpone the payment of its debts. While the expta'tlon did not prove the financial success thai it hoped it would, there can be no doubt thai the state of Virginia re? ceived such an advertisement of its resources assembled there as many ti aes to repay the expenditure which was made by the slate; and some who went into speculative en? terprises failed to profit, there can be no doubt of fact that a very large amount of money was expended by isitors to the exposition and that great benefit has accrued to the stale. This is evidenced locally by the fact that there has never been such exten si ve buildings of all kinds in Nor? folk and its vicinity as there was during the year immediately succeed? ing the exposition! and which has continued to the present time. it cannot be charged that the ex? position was a failure. As an artistic creation it was, when completed, one of the most beautiful expositions that has been held in this country, and it ivas the most gigantic under? taking ever achieved in this country by a community so numerically small or with such limited finances as is represented hy the municipali? ties bordering on Hampton Roads.
