How do you expect farmer to address

Mr. Wilson spoke of the representatives

coming to Washington to settle their diff

Il congratulate them on their decision 10

They will have the time of their lives

SELMA COUNCIL TO BE GUIDED
 BY PRINCIPLE AND REASON

| two policemen, the Council was di- vided, although it was a virtual admis- sion that they thought that the police men should be punished more or less. Lawyers disagree among themselves, Attorney Jeffries, whose opinion Mayor Atkins gave to the Council, held that under the charter the Chief has the power to suspend for cause, while City Attorney Shafer and others declare positively that if the Council delegates the power to the Chief 1t is practically repeating that act of the Legislature. This morning City Attorney Shafcr said:
 Instead of repudiating my stand in the matter the Council has by it's action of last night sustained every conten- ton I held. If the body considered that the Chief had the power to sus- pend. why should 1t pass a motion sus- pending the men. By passing Mir Agec' s motion it agreed with me that under the charter that power is not given to the Chief" And City Attorney Shafer read at length from his brief submitted to the Council last night.
 Do you hold that If policeman is a mere employe of the city he cannot be suspended by the Chief of Police ?'' MT. Shafer was asked.
 Exactly. That Is my contention. A policeman is an employe of the General Council and the charter says that only the Council and the Mayor can suspend that employc, and only can a two-thirds vote of the Council discharge him. That is clearly laid out In the brief which l read to the Council last night and which I hand you here."
 Then is there no remedy for such d condition by law until the Legislature does something?'
 No Present Remedy.
 There is not" said MT. Shafer q admit that it is very deplorable state of affairs but that Is not what I am arguing. I am arguing law. It is not what powers should be given to the Chief of Police that I am setting be- fore the Council, but what powers the charter has given him"
 Do you not think that from a moral standpoint tho Council last night sus- tained Chief Walters in suspending Po- licemen Moseley and Davis and also sustained the opinion of Mayor Atkins ?'' asked the reporter.
 From a moral standpoint probably it did. That may have been behind tho motion of MT Agee. It was looking out for the future. But I repeat that from a legal standpoint by their pass ing of that motion they said that the Chief of Police has no power to sus- pend, and thinking that suspension was right in this case the Council itself suspended"
 Councilman Agee. the author of the motion, declared that the motion was introduced with the view of sustaining z Chief of Police Walters in his stand in suspending the two policemen and he believed that the majority of the Coun- ciImpO voted OO If with that Nyinu
 T believe that the chief of police has the power to suspend" said MT. Agec. T think the contention of City Attor- ney Shafcr Is incorrect. Most of the Councilmen agree with me. From a Ie- gal standpoint, Mir. Shafer may consider that we have ratified his opinion. but it

THE ACTION OF MIR. AGEE
Selma. March 30.

Advertiser Bureau,
 By its action of last night in the po- lice controversy. the City Council out lined its policy for the future. In the government and regulation of the po- lice force the Council proposes to be guided by principle and reason and to await the next Legislature to remedy the defects, if any exist, in the city's charter. Undoubtedly the Council sus- tained Chief of Police Walters and Mayor Atkins.
 There is difference of opinion as to the purpose of the Council in passing Councilman Agee's amended motion as well as it's consistency in passing 1t .. and two constructions are put on the decision of tho Council.
 City Attorney Shafer declared that in voting to suspend Policemen Moseley and Davis the Council virtually admit ted that the power was not vested in the Chief of Police, thereby sustaining his contention.
 Councilman Agee, who offered the motion and half the Council says that the motion to sustain the Mayor and Chief of Police, and not to sustain the opinion of Mir Shafer. The Council men say that by their vote instead of admitting that Chief of Police Walters had no authority to suspend Policemen Moseley and Davis they held that he did have the power. They insist that they believe the Chief is given the power even under the charter, and cer- tainly, they argue. he has that power nnder all moral and sensible reason Ing.

 Councilman Norris this afternoon said that the council voted last night to sustain Chief of Police Walters in Davis. Mir. Norris said the councils action was not an indorsement of City Attorney Shafer's opinion.

DEATH OF JAY COOKE.

LAY COOKE. the man who did more
J than any other financier in the
country more than all OF the rest of
them combined to. sustain the credit of
the nation in the civil war. is dead at
his home in Philadelphia, aged nearly
81 years. It was ON Mr., Cooke that the
secretaries of the treasury in the war
Of the rebellion leaned most heavily.
Never Ionce did he fail them or the
country
From an authentic biography of Mr..
Cooke it is learned that he sold for the
government during the progress of the
war, no less than $1,000 900. OOe worth of
bonds. In our time s., 600 O00. 600
is a sum ALMOST too vast for compre-
hension. although the time does not
seem far distant when perhaps one or
more Americans viii be worth that
much money. Forty-five years ago a
billion dollars was much greater sum
than it is today
1t is doubtful if there were in this
country in 1860 half dozen men who
could count their wealth at more than
five millions. There were mot fifty
who could show assets of $1,OOC, 600 each.
Today perhaps ten men could be named
whose individual fortunes amount to
more than a hundred millions each
Two hundred more range in wealth
from ten millions to hundred mil
lions. And men with from one to ten
millions are so numerous that they no
longer attract attention.
Still. it would be difficult now t0raise
/ s.. OO0 O0O, 900. even on such unapproach-
! able security as government bonds.
| This gives an idea of Mr.. Cookies feat,
and of his standing among the money
! kings of his young manhood. After
| the fall of Richmond says a biog-
rapher. and the surrender of the con-
federate army. the secretary of the
treasury wanted $500 OOO. COG TO pay the
! Union soldiers and send them home
Mr.. Cooke. within the space of five
months, secured this Loan
The large fortune amassed by Mr..
Cooke was swept away in the panic of
1873. a panic that was precipitated by
the failure of his banking mouse. The
| failure was due to the fact that he had
| loaned too heavily on Northern Pacific
| securities. But all Of his creditors
were paid in full with interest. and it
( is pleasant to know that he earned an
/ other fortune before he died.
| Jay Cooke was the Robert Morris of
| the civil war, and as such he will al
ways have an honored place in his
/ country's history
