RECORDER REFUSED
TO TAKE UP CASE.
Custom Didn't Go with Recorder
MyricL in FnisOn Case.


Myrick in FnisOn Case.
Without the slightest warning Re
corder Myrick broke into the plans
of the police in Police Court yester-
day by refusing to hear case that
was called to his attention, giving as
his reason that it had not been entered
on the docket before court convened.
1t has been the custom of the Re
corder to investigate a case whenever
it might be presented by one of the
detectives, and when he refused to
go into a hearing of the charges of
forger against T. L. Faison, the
young man from Waycross, Detective
Wall, who made the arrest, was sur
prised.
The fact that the Recorder refused
to enter the case on his docket or go
into at all, caused considerable sur
prise. Unless the unexpected happens
again this morning, Faison will be
given a preliminary examination. The
fact that the prisoner is in bad health
made the postponement rather hard
ON him. Had he been remanded he
could have been tried at once in the
City Court.

effort is being made TO accumulate
more evidence. and there may be in
teresting developments before the mat
ter is finally disposed of.
Frances Patton, a female friend OF

mistake, and that the wrong woman

ported to the Recorder that he over
heard the conversation.

AS stated previously there are still
some melons moving northward in car
load lots. and the number of cars may
yet be brought up nearer to the figures
of last year. In the other items the
numbers of cars will hardly be altered.
The gratifying increase in the move
ment of pineapples has been noted, and
the prospects are that this fruit win
advance steadily, and become one of
the big features of the season in this
section. The splendid pineries in the
South are many of them just getting
into bearing condition. and with each
year will produce more of the fruit. A
few years ago the idea of a solid car
of pines" would have excited smiles,
but now the splendid fruit is moved in
almost solid train loads from some sec
tions, and goes to the great markets
in prime condition.

Charleston, w. Va. Feb, ia
movement for an extra session of the
legislature was started in the senate
by the introduction by Mr.. Campbell,
of jefferson. of a resolution to extend
the present session of the legislature
for five days. during which time the
legislature proposed bv the tax COM
mission win be given exclusive consid-
Grafton; also that an extra session be
convened at some future time, after
the people of the State have had an
opportunity to inform themselves re-
garding the report of the tax COM
mission, for the purpose of taking up
the tax commissions report. The re-
solution Will be considered today.
The capitol removal question was
given its biennial revival in a resolu-
ton effered bv a Wood County nom
Der. Mr.. Hatfield, whose measures
provides for a committee of seven, che
from each congressional district. TO DO
appointed by the governor. whose du-
ty it shall he to determine upon the
the capitol of the State and to receive
proposals from cities and towns or in
dividuals TO give lands or money rs an
~inducement TO relocate the capitol, the

ture, This resolution went oyer until
today.
A resolution to place a tax on gas
exported ont OF this State will come
up in the senate today. having been
introduced by the member from Har-
rison County.
The consideration by the senate OF
the amendments proposed to the salary

amendment to make the salary Of the
governor 81. 500 per year, and the
amount remains at 50. 600. as fixed by
the house. The salary of Supreme
Court judges was fixed at IA, 200; cir

glimmering as a result of the Repub.
lican caucus, at which it was decided
to drop both the Cole La W and the
Miller amendment. Gov. White We

OF SCHOOL E sNUB
says Younger Army Oncers, Less Edi-
Client, ~ere Rewarded with Brig
nhter GencrnI,n Annnra.

Carlisle, Pa. Feb. IS. Colonel H..
II. Pratt WAS yesterday notified by
the War DEPARTMENT that lac has been
placed upon the retired list.
He had expected promotion to brig
adler g%eneralship before retirement,
and at ace te~legraphed TO the Depart
ment to Washington his RESIGNATION as
superintendent of the Carlisle Indian
School, to take effect at once.
Colonel Pratt established the Indian
School here in 1879. arriving here with
the first Indians on October 8 of that
year He was the first and only SUI
per%intendent the school has yer had.
Colonel Pratt feels that his enemies
have temporarily got the better Of
him, and that his retirement at go as
a colonel is unfair. Younger officers
have been retired as brigadier generals.
and ne expected similar treatment.
His successor as superintendent Of
the Indian School will probably be ap-
pointed soon. He declined to make any
other statement.
