Commercial Club and Y. M. C.
A. May Build.

The movement that has been begun
for the erection of a pernan home
for the Commercial club in Topeka may
result in the erection of a building to
be used jointly by the Commercial club
and the 7. M. c. A. or some other or
ganization such as the Athletic associa-
ton
The plan for the erection of a per-
manent home for the club is meeting
with favor among the members of the
association. The club has for long
time been hampered by not having
large enough audience room and no
place suitable for the entertainment of
guests at banquets. In the erection of
a new home. these things could be pro
vided for.
One very popular feature could be
made by the establishment of a n er-
chants restaurant where they could get
together during the lunch hour and dis
cuss business and exchange IDEAS" said

CIRCUIT CLERK CONVICTED.
Sentenced for Contempt Of Court and
Released on Habeas orpus.

Admission, May A-{Special. 1.-THE Coun-
ty Commissioners on yesterday afternoon
had Circuit Clerk Ii e. Watson arrested
and brought before them for contempt Of
court. Clerk Watson was found guilty
and sentenced to six hours in Jail and
to pay a fine Of $40 The proceedings
came out Of the recent dispute over the
rooms in which the Circuit Clerk Is now
occupying Mr.. Watson was carried be-
fore the Commissioners about o'clock
and shortly after I o'clock the sentence
began. Mr.. Watson spent probably
forty-five minutes in Jail before the sheriff
received orders to bring him before Judge
Crook. before whom a habeas corpus
proceedings had been started by Mr..
Watson's attorney.
The trial began at O'Clock and lasted
about three horus, after which Judge
Crook leased Mr.. Watson, his decision
being based. upon the illegality or the
sitting of the Commissioners Court at
the time the. alleged contempt took place.
Attorneys for the State gave notice Of
an appeal to the Supreme Court i'm
| mediately after the decision was rendered
and were given fifteen days in which to
prepare bill of exceptions.
1t is said that the Commissioners will
again summons Mr.. Watson before them
and unless he surrenders the room desired
he will again be fined and sentenced to
imprisonment. Mr.. Watson's attorney
will probably again secure his liberation
through habeas corpus proceedings be-
fore Judge Crook. The proceedings may
be continued indefinitely.
The County Commissioners claim they
have exclusive right to the court house
and can apportion its rooms as they see
At Mr.. Watson. who Is clerk OF Circuit
Court, insists that he has charge OF the
room now occupied by him, has the legal
right to retain 1t and will do so.
Circuit Clerk l. e. Watson lost his
suit against Calhoun County in the Cir
cult Court this morning. The suit for
$500 alleged to be due him as ex-officio
fees from the county. This amount he
claimed for the year. but the County
commissioners allowed him only one-half
of the amount. This he accepted and
the records show that 1t was taken as
payment for ex-officio fees and his suit
was dismissed.
Professor and Mrs. Ivy Duggan have
announced the engagement of their
daughter. Ivylyn, to Mr.. Walter Pope
Galloway. the marriage to take place
on the evening of Thursday. May 10Th,

of much interest to their many friends
in both Alabama and Georgia.

most fatal accident about five o'clock
this afternoon. The brick masons were
putting in the door of the vault, in the

pile of brick caught part of the weight
and prevented him from being instantly
killed. His arm was badly crushed and
one leg seriously hurt and he Is other

impossible to tell the extent Of his In
