Yesterday morning at O'Clock saw the
great closing-out sale of the Maze inaugu-
rated under circumstances, which, to say

1t was responded to by thousands OF

packed to its utmost capacity with people
who appreciated tho good things that
were on sale.
1t is to be regretted that a concern of
this magnitude was obliged to retire from
the fieIi of its usefulness.
But since this had been decided upon
ard the announcement made that it was
to be closing out sale, giving up busi-

with sincerity by the purchasing masses
and the response thereto was hitherto
unequaed. Tho merit Of the sale was

BRODER|CK WILL FIGHT.
Does Not Believe the New
Teachers Pension Law
Constitutional.
In nforms an quiring Committee That
1t Had Better Apply to
the Courts.

Miss Manning and other mem bers Of the
committee recently appointed by the
Teachers Annuity and Retirement Fund
Commission to pass on applications for
pensions under the new law called on
Auditor Broderick yesterday to discuss
the workings of the act and see what could
be done to make it legal in the eyes of the
Auditor.
Mr.. Broderick has intimated that he
will refuse to sign demands for pensions
under the new law, because he believes it
to be unconstitutional, in that it will, if
carried out, TRANSFER public funds into
the control of a semi-public body over
which the Board of Supervisors-the
legislative body of the Citv-has no juris-
Giction.
Mr.. Broderick told the ladies that he
thought he would refuse to sign demands,
and have the whole matter tested in the
courts. They argued the point with him,
but he stated that while it was not i'm pos
sible that he would change his mind he
thought that they had better prepare for
legal settlement of the questions in
volved.
Another matter that he discussed with
them was the transfer of certain funds
collected under the old law in to the hands
OF the present commission.
An attempt was made some time ago to
make the transfer by simple demand on
the treasury, which was presented for the
Auditors signature He refused to ap-
prove it, and Yesterday told the ladies to
apply to the Board of Supervisors for a
transfer of the money, that being the only
legal way of getting into position where
it could be paid out to the waiting PEN
slOners.

The Committee Does Not Think
the Pastor Ought to Go
Under Fire.
He Is Asked to Remain in the Pulpit
for the Good of the
Church

A committee of the Emanuel Baptist
Church has urged Rev. J. George Gibson
to withdraw his resignation.
Committeeman Taber Daub, Dim mick,
Bryant and Davis had a meeting at the
residence of Mr.. Taber last night. After
fully discussing the condition of the or
ganization and the services of their pas.
tor the com mittee decided that it would
be for the best interests of the church for
the pastor to continue his services.
Speaking OF the meeting Mr.. Taber
said: I'VE have decided to invite Mr..
Gibson to continue his pastorate, and we
have instructed our secretary to wire him
a letter expressing our views. That letter
will reach him on Monday morning, and
we hope he will decide to continue his
work with u.s."
It is not known just why the pastor
wanted to leave the church. Durrant's
attorneys have theory which is directly
in conflict with that of the mem bers of the
church, and it is said that the committee
will urge him not to leave while under
ire. even if he will not consent to remain
permanently.
