COMES BACK FOR
 EQUITY HEARING Supreme Court Renders 0eCis- ion in Coal Land Case FAVORABLE TO UNIVERSITY Holds That There Is Equity In the Bill Filed In chancery Court Seeking To Recover Lands for the
 University.
FAVORABLE TO UNIVERSITY

Age-Herald's Bureau, Clancys Hotel, Montgomery. May 2S.-(Special. )-The now celebrated case of the board of trustees of the University vs. the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company was decided to- day by the Supreme Court in favor of the University.
 The bill was filed for the purpose of having set aside and cancelled the sale and deed from the board of trustees to the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Com pany. The readers of The Age-Herald will recall the fact that this suit grew out of the sale of the land belonging to the University during the administration of Governor Johnston, and that the sale was attacked for many and various grounds of irregularity and illegality. The defend ant-the Sheffield Company-made a motion in the Chancery Court of Jefferson county to dismiss the bill for the want of equity. The chancellor overruled this mo- tion, holding that the bill contained equi- ty. From this decree the Sloss-Sheffield Company appealed to the Supreme Court. In the decision by the Supreme Court to- day it is held that the decree of the Chancery Court is correct, and that the bill contains equity.
 By reason of. this decision by the Su- preme Court, the University wins in the first contest. The Sloss-Sheffield Company will now probably answer the bill and it will be tried before Chancellor Car michael on its merits. As Is generally known, there Is move on foot to com promise the case, the University to re- fund the $56.000 paid by the Sloss-Shef1eld Company for the lands. and certain lands to be traded with the University so as to body up the holdings of each. The trus- tees may be called upon to pass on this matter at the meeting of the board to be held in Tuscaloosa next Thursday.
 This case has been one of the most in- teresting before the Supreme Court, and the decision has been eagerly awaited. Strong legal talent has been employed in the matter. The bill was filed by Messrs. Phares Coleman of Montgomery, Sterling Wood and J. B. Head of Birmingham, and the appellant is represented by Messrs. Tillman & Campbell of Birming- ham.

He believes with the poet, whose name has escaped US, that he who gets in lick or two and then runs away may live to get in another ,ick or two smother day. Yes, and like the cat in the adage, he invar- iably comes back-and has to be licked all over again.
