NOT onpERED TO LEVY.
Expected That Railway Will Soon Pa.


Fine.
The statement published in an after
noon paper to the effect that Secretary
Wilson, OF the State Corporation Com
mission, has been ordered to levy on
the property Of the Southern Railway
Company to satisfy a fine imposed by
the commission is denied by Mr. Will
son.
The Southern was fined on the 18th
OF April for violation of demurraSe
order Of the commission, and under the
law has sixty days in which to pay
the money. The law says that If such
fines are not paid within the time
specified the commission may order
a levy" but the commission has not
yet taken any action in the direction
Of ordering levy. and it Is not known
that it will do SO. Mr.. Wilson has no
authority to levy until ordered by the
commission. None of the comml ssion-
ers We're in the city yesterday to issue
an order. and they will not be In any
hurry about 1t when they come back.
for. as Mr.. Wilson said yesterday, the
railroad is not going to run away,
and the order can be issued at any
time If necessary The probability is
that the fine will be paid and a levy
will not be necessary.

BRISTOL, TENN, Juno 15.-Chan-

OF Bristol, to-day concluded tho long
out litigation between Mrs.
Kettle Emnnert and her divorced lus-
band, William b. Emmert. on the
question OF which should have the
custody Of their children, Adeline a.,
daughter, fourteen years Of age. and
Paul, thoir four-year-old son.
The court awards the custody Of tho
inert, tho divorced wife. and taxes the
defendant, William B. Emmert, with
the costs. Isl 81
The case was heard upon the petition
OF Mrs Kettle Emmert for the absolute
custody OF the children. The only
privilege which the defendant will be
entitled to will be to SEQ the children
as often as once a month at the home
of their grandparents here and he will
not be allowed to take either Of them
to his home az any time.
The Decree.
The decree says In part: I'm order to
dispose Of the questions now submit
ted, 1t Is unnecessary to pass upon
ants present wife Myrtle johnson
Enmert with respect to any disputed
facts. It Is sufficient to say that rest
ing the decision upon tho simplest and
plainest question Of propriety. touch
ing facts In the record, which neither
are. nor can be disputed, the giving
OF these children to their father IL
q thing scarcely to be thought OF
Ills liberal provision for the mainte-
nance and education Of the children
and his apparently extreme anxiety
for and interest in them, appealed
to the court In the first instance, and
caused It to give the children to hin
for one-fourth Of the time. but the
situation is now changed.
He has intermarried with tho womu,
! whose name is associated with his o,
a charge OF adultery, and to longe
| expect the custody OF tho children
seems to the court most unreasonable
and unnatural thing to do. This seem
true, Notwithstanding the failure t
provo the charge Of ndultery."
The decree OF divorce entered yea
ago Is not changed with respect t
alimony, and the defendant will b
required to pay $50 month for tn
support Of his divorced wife and chill
i dren.

not sign a contract nor report when
