GEORGIA TEACHERS
MUST WAIT FOR PAY
So Declares Supreme Court
Of the State.
MR.. PARK IS SUSTAINED

| Decision Rendered by Judge John S.
Gambler Is Reversed-Money Cannot
Be Taken From Public Property
Fund to Pay Teachers.
ATLANTA, June 12.-State Treasurer
Robert E. Park has no right to use the
public property fund to pay the school
teachers of Georgia or for any other
purpose except the payment of the
bonded debt of the state. This was de-
cided by the supreme court today. when
the decision in the mandamus suit
against Treasurer Park was handed
down.
This decision means that the teachers
Will have TO do without money until the
legislature meets and makes special pro-
vision for them. unless Governor Oand-
| ler borrows money with which TO pay
them before that time.
Celebrated Case.
The case is one of the most celebrated
in the annals of the state. The treas
urer, shortly before the time for draw
ing warrants for the pay of the teach
ers came about, notified the governor
that he had no money in the treasury
with which to pay such warrants if
drawn, and therefore would not pay
them.
1t had long been customary to borrow
from the public property fund. the
amount to be repaid when the state
taxes were received.
This was suggested to the treasurer,
and the suggestion he turned down. He
declared, that though such borrowing
had been the precedent, he would not
follow it, as, in his opinion, it was a
plain violation of the constitutional pro-
vision which enjOined that the public
property fund was to be employed for
no other purpose whatsoever except to
the payment Of the public debt
Carried Into Court.
The governor appealed to the courts
The case came first before Judge John
S. Gambler, who decided that Treasurer
Park had no right to raise the issue.
On May Judge Gambler, after hear
ing argument, issued a writ of man.
damus to compel Treasurer r. E. Park
to draw on the 100000 in the state
treasury derived from the sale of the
Northeastern railroad and the $77, $50 of
other funds for the purpose of paying
the warrants for the school teachers,
amounting to $26O,000
A bill of exceptions was prepared on
June by Washington Dessau, attorney
for Treasurer Park, and the case was
carried to the supreme court.

IncOngruous Procession.

The procession as a whole was most
incongruous, composed as it was of Off
GERS of the guards, lancers, Hussars and
highlanders, in dazzling uniforms,
groups of solemnly garbed men in frock
coats, doctors who had served at the
front, and half dozen foreign attaches
in uniform.
Captain Stephen L. N. Slocum, the
United States military attache, was not
present. He is in ST. Petersburg.
There were also groups of time.expe-
rienced men in civilian clothing, police
men, and wounded soldiers hmping
along in hospital clothes.
The ceremony lasted nearly three
hours, the queen standing beside the
king throughout.
