Dissatisfied with tho award made by the
commission appointed by Resident Judge
William c. spruance on Friday. October
.1s. to condemn twenty-one feet of proper
~ and assess damages on the north side
Of Tenth street between Market street
and Pinkett's Court, the Manufacturers
Contracting Company today asked for the
appointment of a new commission. Judge
Spruance granted the request and APP
pointed the following FIVE men: Samuel
Rossell, John S. Mullin and John NJ.
Rogers
Should this commissions award be as
unacceptable TO the Manufacturers Con-
tracing Company as the first this concern
still has the privilege OF asking for the
appointment OF one more such body.
Should the awards of the two first COM
mlssioners be alike, however, the court
may then decide the matter without the
appointment Of third commission.
In case that the first and second COM
missions do not make the same awards
and a third one is necessary, and no two
of the three are the same, the court can
also decided upon which award shall
stand

CITY SOLICITOR
WAS IGNORED
Townsend Being Commended
for Refusing to Allow Out
side Counsel Brought In
It IS ALL UP TO CITY CHARTER

The bold stand which has been taken
by a majority OF the Water Department
Commissioners in proceeding with the
work OF laying mains to the new
reservoir without FIRST advertising for
bids has brought the work to a sudden
halt. The question of the legality OF
work Of this kind being done without
asking Tor proposals having been
raised, it is said the proper thing would
have been for tho department to have
gotten the opinion Of the City Solicitor
as to their right to proceed without
bids and on that opinion base their
actions. for tho city charter clearly
states that "rhe City Solicitor shall
be the legal adviser OF al Of the de-
partments OF the government of said
city and shall have charge OF all the
( legal business thereof"
1t seems that the opinion OF Solicitor
Townsend had not been asked for until
yesterday afternoon. although it is re-
ported that opinions were asked from
other attorneys. Why the solicitor
should have been heretofore ignored
has not been explained.
/ Clearly the decision Of the city
Solicitor. who is a sworn officer OF the
city will settle the question. There is
/ no reason for case stated being pre-
sented to court. City Solicitor Towns
end will tell the Water Commissioners
just what the law requires and they
will Of necessity Have to accept his
Opinion on the subject.
What ever delays there may be in the
matter are clearly due to neglect on the
part of the Water Commissioners to
lhvae this question decided before work
was started. City Solicitor Townsend
is being commended for his refusal to
allow outside counsel to be brought
into the case, as it is clearly unneces-
sary and all responsibility in the settl-
ing of this question rests upon the
charter Of the city. The commissioner
should be willing to accept the law and
abide by it.
MR.. TOWNSEND'S LETTER.
In his reply to the Water Department
to-day, i'm which he declined TO give his
assent to the department employing
special counsel, City Solicitor Towns
end says:
Section Al OF the City Charter pro.
lvides that the City Solicitor shall bl
the legal adviser Of all the department.
OF the government of said city and
shall have charge of all legal business
thereof

JAMES SHARP NEARLY
LOST HIS RIGHT EAR
Fell Beneath Pile of Lumber
Which Slid From a j..
Wagon

James Sharp. of No. 1922 Union
street, employed as a teamster by Mi
chael Donohoe. met with a peculiar
accident yesterday afternoon by which
he nearly lost his right ear.
Sharp was driving a wagon loaded
with lumber and while in the vicinity
of Fourth and Jackson streets the lum-
ber slipped off the vehicle carrying the
driver with it. Sharp fell beneath the
pile and the sharp edge Of a board
nearly severed his right ear from his
head.
The injured man was carried into
Charles Beadenkopfs morocco factory
and DIR. John Palmer was summoned.
After an examination of the wound Dr.
Palmer found il necessary to take sew
eral stitches in it in order to prevent
the ear from dropping off. Sharp was
later removed to his home.

BACHER FINED
S25 AND COSTS
Found Guilty Of Violating
Automobile Ordinance by
Speeding His Machine
SLOT MACHINE CASES POSTPONED

George Bacher, a young man, was
arraigned in City Court today on a
charge Of running an automobile be-
yond the speed limit provided by law
in this particular instance, Of mile in
six minutes. He was represented by
David J. Reinhardt, who made a good
defense, but the court found the de-
fendant guilty and imposed a fine of
S25 and costs.
IN order that he might have an op-
portunity to look up the law on cer-
tain point brought out by j. Frank Ball,
Judge Garrett continued all the re-
naming cases Of cigar dealers charg-
ed with maintaining slot machine de-
vices for gambling principally for ci-
gars. The defendants are Harry Orn-
stein, Lewis Hellersohn, Richard Valen-
tine, George Neif. William Hanley,
John W. Crossgrove, William White
side and Alexander Benzick.
The hitch occurred i'm the Crossgrove
case. Former Judge Ball contended
that it was necessary for the state to
offer evidence of seeing a play made
on the machines. This had not been
done in the Crossgrove case, the officer
confscating the machine, Patrolman
Gnling. merely having taken Mrs
I Crossgrove's statement Of how the ma
chine was played. She told the officer
that by putting a nickle in the machine
the player always got one cigar and
sometimes two.
The court said it would continue al
the cases until Friday when a decision
on the point raised would be given. Mr.
BAN said he had other contentious t
make and Judge Garrett asked him an'
also Mr.. Rice to make notes of thei
contentious and give them to him.

Merger Deal S,robable.

T believe that there will be a mer- ger of the Southern coal and iron i'm terest and that the deal will be con- summated in the very near future"
 So spoke Alderman Walter Moore, capitalist, who returned yesterday from New York. where he has been for several days on business connected with his large interests in this state.
 MT. Moore states that while for the present matters may look a little quiet in regard to a consolidation of the in- terests. the plan has not been aban- doned altogether and Is being worked up. The efforts which have been made heretofore have not been In vaIn, says MT Moore, and before long now some- thing tangible will be announced. While in the East. Mir Moore met with the different people interested in the negotiations looking to a merger of Southern interests, and all appeared to be working toward one end.
 T cannot give much of the details of the proposed merger just yet" said MT. Moore, but the way things look to me I believe that the deal will be consumed in the near future. I do not think that there has been an ab- solute abandonment of the proposition. Such matters must work out slowly and the end is now in sight, despite re- ports that all deals are off"
 Mir Moore intimates that the deal is likely to be consummated during the next sixty days.
 Inasmuch as the annual meeting of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Company will be held the first week in May, that perhaps may have some- thing to do with the slow negotia- tions.
