1t has been rumored for some days

There was no further trouble yes

When the commissioners called at Mrs.

seived graciously and full answers
were given to all the questions that
were asked.
1T is understood that Mrs. Sutcliffe
gave negative answers to all the ques-
tons contained in the interrogatories,
save that she admitted that she and
MRS. Cunningham had been in Wash

her answers to the interrOgatorieS
have been filed under seal in the office
OF the clerk of the City Court, and will
not be opened until the case is tried
or counsel for the opposing parties
agree that the seals shall be broken.
There were no further developments
in the case, which now bids fair to
become one of the celebrated pieces of
litigation of this county. AS announced
in the. Morning News the case has
been continued and no assignment has
been made. 1t is not likely that it will
be tried until February.
Already, however, it is the talk of
the streets and comments and predic-
lions as to the outcome are heard on
every side. The latter express the con-
Vlctlon that the developments when the
case is tried and witnesses for plaintiff

men was expected by the advocates of

go through the Senate without any
trouble. Those who have been working
for the bill say that Senator Cam will

that ii will certainly pass. They do not
fear the committee from Council,
which will go to Atlanta to oppose the
bill
At one time on Tuesday it looked as
If the bill were going to be lost. This
was not because a fight was being
made against ii, but because of the
flibustering tactics displayed by MEM
bers of the House. Representative
Harden has informed those who are be-
hind the bill that he experienced a good
deal of difficulty i'm getting it to a
third reading. because of the filibuster-
ing. The bill will have to be read
three times in the Senate and will prob
ably come up for passage on Friday
the day of adjournment.
While IT is usually difficult to get a
measure through on the last day the
advocates of the bill say that Senator
Cam and other strong politicians who
are working for the measure will be
able to arrange IT, While the sun
porters of the plan to change the time
for electing city officers are having
close shave for time, they say that they
are confident Of success, and that the
present Board of Aldermen will not
have an opportunity to elect city Off
