PARTNERS DISAGREE.
1920 Second Avenue.

The Success of Their Venture Was Too
 Great and They ,F,eH' Out.
 The following from the Nashville Ban ner tells of the sudden end of an enter prise begun in that city by two former Birmingham men: 1IafF ao
 The partners, if such they be. toperat- ing what is known as the Schnickelfritz Palace bar. on North Cherry street, have been overcome by, the success of the ven ture, and cannot agree upon a fair divis- ion, and as result of this the place is closed.
 A. S. Van Ramp filed a bill in the chancery court today against Barney Nathan, in which he states that he and Barney on November 25. agreed to open up the Schnickelfritz Palace bar. They both came from Birmingham, and the bill states that neither had much capital but went into the venture, depending upon their friends and brewery men for advances sufficient to open up and be- gin business
 The bill states that the purpose was to run the enterprise through the cen- tennial. The saloon was opened on De- cember "A. and the bill states that it was successful from the beginning and the receipts far exceeded the expenditures each day. The defendant seeing that the venture was proving successful on De- cember 29 began to claim that complain ant was his manager and not partner at all. He told complainant that he did not further need the services of complain ant, and attempted to discharge him.
 Complainant states that he was equally interested in the business; that he bought goods on his own credit and put them in as part of the stock. He states that the concern owes between S75 and $50, and the assets are about $150. He asks for receiver to take charge of and sell the stock. pay the debts and. divide the pro- caedS [ U -----

timer said so). which is . triie below
the worlds professional record.
Then the ball playing was resumed.
but the City Hall boys were demoralized.
They changed positions, and even got
Dunkelberger to catch, but to no avail.
They caught one run in the sixth. when
Ferd Gottschalk crossed the home plate,
for which he was rewarded with a
large bouquet Of garden truck" pre-
sented by Councilman Hutchison. The
Courthouse boys took just two more In
their half, and piled up seven more in
the succeeding inning. None of'the other
City Hall boys saw home during the re-

able auspices. Manager Ed Cooper, re-
splendent in large smile and a long
linen duster, was much in evidence, and
the umpire was fully up to the pro-
fessional standard. But this sort of
thing did not long continue. The city
boys were first at bat, and were retired
in one, two, three order. Then the
Courthouse contingent went in and
swatted out six runs, Of course being
assisted by errors. Then the City Hall
boys had another try, and succeeded
in knocking out one run, Frank Do
minguez having the honor of first cross
ing the plate for his side, which he did
amidst the shouts of the municipal
push, headed by big George Rhein-
schild and Andy Ellis on the bleachers,
with Assessor John Gish ably assisting
The Courthouse crowd added three moro
to their score in their half In the third
inning the City Hall team piled up five
runs but the Courthouse went them
one better. adding six to the already
lop-s.ded score. Two for each side was
the net result Of the fourth inning, and
in the fifth the City Halls were goose
egged, the Courthouse end piling up
eight full-grown runs.
By this time both sides were tired,
and while the players were getting their
wind, two portly members OF the police
force, Officers Vignes and Hubbard
sprinted 100 yards to amuse the crowd
and settle the question which had risen
between themselves as to which could
get out Of the way quickest in time Of

A SOLEMN OBLIGATION.

Why do the people vote for certain
men in preference to other men for the
offices? Because they believe the
men they vote for will perform the du-
ties of their offices most efficiently.
The majority of our voters are hon
est, good citizens, they believe in the
enforcement of the law; they believe
in officers of the law performing their
duty; they condemn anything like
winking at crime or letting off one set
of offenders and Furnishing others,
Every good citizen wants the law en-
forced.
Before an officer of the state, county
or city takes his Office, he takes sol.
emn oath to perform the duties of his
office and sustain the constitution and
laws of the state. This is no I'm,
meaning ceremony; no idle fancy; il
means that the state, which represents
the people, will punish the man who
violates this oath, as perjurer. The
man who will deliberately take the
oath of office with the intention of vio-
lating it is a professional perjurer anc
a dangerous character. Such men are
a menace to the safety of society, and
our grand juries and courts should
take them in hand.
