THE Legislature of Tennessee is
mainly responsible for the present dis
graceful condition of affairs i'm that
State. 1t was convened in special ses-
sion several months ago to consider the
situation and take measures to avert
trouble. The situation even then was
critical, and there was every reason to
apprehend trouble if something decisive
was not done. The Legislature was
in session several weeks, and while it
did good many inconsequential things,
did practically nothing: in the direc-
ton indicated. 1t neither abolished
the convict-labor system nor did any
thing to mitigate its evil features. It's
action seemed to be dictated entirely by
political favoritism and commercial
greed. The result is seen in the present
reign Of anarchy in the mining districts.
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
Legislature is overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic.

Worthless 'InvestmenL' of Funds-Stockweli
tt.e One OF tho Conspirators
The Iron Hall receIvershIp case was re-
sumed in Judge Taylor's court yesterday
morning, at o'clock. with Freeman ID.
Somerby. supreme justice of the order, in
the witnees-chair. He was questioned by
Mr.. Harris. and said he had been to Phila-
delphia-was there on Monday and Tues
day of this week. He stated that the bank
there had made an assignment to Mr..
Stockwell, who was the solicitor of the
bank, and was also an accountant to a To-
Cal branch of the Iron Hall. Witness be-
lieved that Stockwell owned stock in the
Iron Hall Building Association. of Phila-
delphia. This company had not erected
any building, but had put in foundation
last year. Could not say how much money
the Iron Hall had on deposit in that bank
when he got there last Monday. The at
torneys made claim for q debt of S713 600 in
behalf of the Supreme Sitting against
the bank. Demand was made be-
tween IL A. NJ. and 10 NJ. Monday,
and again In tho afternoon. The
assignment was made in the evening, about
6 O'Clock. Thought the $4,000 included
the SSS. 900 that has been referred to. There
was nothing said about this in the di-
rectorS meeting. except that Mr. Hayes
said it was not deposit, but should be
charged of as On investment made by the
supreme trustees OF the Iron Hall. The
report of the investment should be In the
hands of the supreme trustees. Witness
thought it was invested In bank stock. 1T
