NO FINISH OF FIGHT
is YET IN SIGHT.
Row Between Police Board and City
Council.
FAR FROM A FINISH.
Expected Decision OF Supreme Court
May Not End It-Case May Take
Political Turn In the Election Mem
bers of the Legislature.

The recent election of policemen by
the Police Commission revives inter
est in the legal struggle now on be-
tween the police board and the city
council for supremacy in the control
of the police department.. The next
stage in the proceedings is the de-
cision of the Supreme Court.
This, quite possibly, may be render
ed within week or two.
The city council, as is we'll known,
appealed to the Supreme Court from
the decision of Judge z. A. Littleiohn
here, restraining that body from inter
fering with the police departm ent.
The opinion Is expires sed IN some
quarters here that whatever this de-
cision may be it will not end the fight
between the council and police board.
One or the other will doubtless take
other steps to further It's ends. and the
strife, quite possibly, may continue on
Indefinitely.
At later stage of the proceedings it
will get into politics.
No doubt it will he an issue in the
next city election, while there is a
likelihood, it is aaid, of its being an
issue in the election of members of the
Legislature from Sumter with the end
of securing or defeating amendments
of the city charter. The row is long
way from finish.
But in the meanwhile all interest is
centered upon the decision of the Su
preme Conrt in the pending injunc-
ton proceedings.

Raleigh, March 3.-One of the pluck
lest prisoners who ever met a we'll
deserved fate on the gallows was
Johnson, the white man hanged at
Asheville Wednesday for burglary.
He said he had much rather die than
serve life sentence in the peniten-
tiary. He really appeared glad to die.
The authorities here and elsewhere
made all sorts of efforts to ascertain
his real name. All efforts failed. He
once had the name Wilson. He was
wanted for murder in the Indian Ter
ritory and in Florida, and in the latter
state there was $1,000 reward out
standing for him. Such are the receiv-
ed statements.
He was by profession a safecracker.
and declared he was born in north
ern Ohio, but that his last home was in
the Indian Territory.
At almost the last moment he re-
fused to tell his name, saying it would
do no good.

Central Hopes to Get Trains Through
Tonight.

The situation IN Americus, caused
by the recent washouts op railroads

conditions brishtens somewhat as the
weather remains clear.
A large force works day and night
on the Centrars Flint River bridge.
The task of rebuilding the bridge

required several days. 1t is quite
probable that the first train will come
through from Macon at 10 o'clock to-
night.
This will be the first train over this
division since last Saturday.
: In the meantime the Central routes
passengers for Macon and Atlanta via
Columbus. Several from Americus
went that way yesterday.
The Seaboard continues to operate
it's day trains through from Savannah
to Montgomery by using the Central's
track from Columbus around by way
of Union Springs, Ala. The night
trains were not run yesterday.
The Seaboard's bridge over Flint
River stood the food strain all right,
