The United States Court, Judge jack
son presiding, adjourned for the Wheel
ing term. at seven o'clock last evening
after a hard days work had been put
in on the Elwood Anderson counter
feiting case. Judge Jackson and the
Court officials generally will leave for
their homes this morning, the Judge
and United States Marshal Wells going
on the seven o'clock train. C"urt Will

The trial Of the case of U. S. V. Ell
wood Anderson, charged with mutilat-
ing three cent pieces and passing them
as dimes. was resumed at the morning
session. A large number Of spectators
were present. 1t was the middle OF the
afternoon before the arguments were
commenced, and nearly five O'Clock De-
fore the Jury went out. Judge Jackson
kent Court in session until seven
o'clock. at which hour the jury came IN
with a verdict of not guilty on the
count in the Indictment charging de-
PENDANT with passing the counterfeit
coin. but guilty of the count OF having
counterfeit coin in his possession with
intent to fraudulently pass the same.
The indictment had no count in 1t FOR
having the money in his possession, and
as a result the Court set that part OF the
verdict aside. and held Anderson IN

may be hereafter brought against MIN
for having counterfeit coin in his pos
session.
In the case of United States V. Joseph
Sweeney, convicted at this term OF pass
ing counterfeit money in this city ana
Benwood. the defendant was brought
down from Jail for sentence and Judge
Jackson imposed three years in the
penitentiary. When asked by the
Judge whether he had anything to say
before sentence was pronounced, SWee-
ney answered that he felt that he had
fair and impartial trial, but he still
adhered to his plea Of innocence. Inc
general impression among those famll-
lar with the details Of the case is that
the Court imposed light sentence.
In the case of Pearson V. the Benwood
Southern Railroad, the Court contin-
ued Mr.. Howard Hazlett as temporary
receiver. and instructed him to adyer-
tise the property for sale in its present
condition. The claim of Contractor

originally planned when it might pos

The main trouble is that a number OF
sub-contractors are pressing for their
money and the action OF the Court
taken yesterday may relieve them
rather sooner than if the receivership
had been made permanent and certifi-

In the course of a conversation yester-
day. Judge Jackson referred to the mis-
cradle quarters assigned to the Federal
Court in this city, and expressed the
hope that steps might soon be taken
to dispose of the presenC- government
property and locate the federal building
in some better situation. When Court
is in session business is interrupted a
dozen or twenty times a day by passing
trains on the Piusburg division of the
B. & O. road. The Court room is in
the third floor, only TO be reached by
laborious climb up long flights of
stairs. and the Court room is probably
the very worst apartment ever con-
structed in the matter OF acoustics. 1t
is almost impossible to understand a
word spoken in the apartment, by either
counsel, Court or witnesses, even with
the closest attention, and this fact is
daily worry to all engaged in Court
business and greatly adds to the labor
of trying a case. Early steps should
be taken to secure another site in ,he
vicinity of Chapline and Fourteenth
streets, or some other quiet yet Access
sible locality, and erect thereon a build
ing modern in character and adequate
TO the needs Of the postofiice depart
ment, government officials and the Fed
eral Court. The evils of the present
locality and the inadequacy Of the
building have been apparent for many
years, and it is full time that steps were
taken in the direction Of new build
ing.

the duties of his new position, and is

Inc name Tennessee is derived from
lannassee. the Indian name of the Lit
lie Tennessee River. The first settle
ment IN the State was ATTEMPTED in
l'34. but the settlers were wiped ont
by tie Indians. Two years later an
other settlement was made on the Ten
nessee River near Knoxville. and Fort
Loudon was built. In 1850 this place
was besieged by Indians and the
whites capitulated on the condition
mat they would be allowed to return
TO North Carolina. The condition. how
ever, was not observed. The whites on
their march back to Carolina were at
tackled. and those of them who were
0 Killed were reduced to slavery.

and IIolston rivers. This settlement
rapidly grew. and from 1863 to 1111
the different settlements affected were
called the Wautaga Association. The
motto of Robertson was: I'VE are the
rear guard of the revolution, the ad-
vance guard of civilization, and u
way is. acroS the continent. Assoc
ated with him III the upbuilding of Ten
nessee was John Sewer, and later An
drew Jackson. the seventh President OF
the United States. These three were
men OF personal magnetism. statecraft
and military ability. All were Indian
fighters Of the same caliber, provoking
attacks and following them up. and so
we'll did they do their work among the
Greeks and Cherokees that within
fifty years Tennessee became as safe as
Massachusetts was after 20 years.
1t was an i%nopportune time for the
establishment Of settlements. There
were 10000 Indian savages in the re-
gion. hostile to the whites. and later
these were in alliance with England
during the revolutionary war. For
forty years there is one unbroken rec
ord of struggles with these savages,
and then when Sewer and Robertson
left off Andrew Jackson stepped in.
In 1910 Robertson, leaving Sewer in
charge of Watauga settlements, eX-
plored the Cumberland region and ami
grated there with others. Nashville
was founded and the settlers organized
themselves into a civil and military
body with Robertson at their head.

He served until 1901, va elected three
times to Congress and died in 1915
while engaged in settling a boundary
dispute between Georgia and the Creek
territory in Alabama.
Another distinguished Tennessean
was Andrew Jackson, soldier and
statesman, and one of the most pic
turesque characters in American his
tory. On the admission of Tennessee
IS a State Jackson was elected to Con-
gress, and 1897 was chosen United
States Senator. This position he re-
signed TO accept a sea- on the bench of
the Supreme Court of Tennessee. Soon
afterward he retired from politics. tax
ing up his residence on the plantation
known as the Hermitage, near Nash
vile. On the outbreak of the war with
Great Britain Jackson rendered his
services to the Government, and the
following year he performed distin-
guiShed service in the Greek war. His
successful defense of New Orleans
made him a hero, and his fame was
increased by the Seminole war of 1917
IS. In 1928 he was elected President
of the United States and was reelected.
In 1915 he died at the Hermitage.
Tennessee has had various seats of
government. Knoxville was the capital
from 1894 to 1911, with the exception
of 1907, when the sea- of government
was at Kingston; Nashville was favor
ed from 1912 to 1915. In 1916 and from
1919 to 1925 MurfreesbOrO was h seat
of government, and in 1917 Knoxville
had that honor. In 1896 Nashville
again became tht capital and has re-
manned so since.
During the war Tennessee was the
scene of some Of the blOodiest battles
in the great struggle, but with the close
of hCstilities the people acknowledged
their allegiance to the Union, and the
commonwealth has since greatly pros
pered.

forming heroic deeds.
