TOILET ROAD BILL
Speaker of the Senate Says State
Must Abolish Present System.

In regard to his road bill, Senator
Toilet says:
Il have prepared one of my road
bills upon the assumption that the sa-
looms will not be abolished in our
larger cities. / am of the opinion that
the next best method to deal with
them. besides total abolition, is to inn
pose upon them a high license Of 81
500 on each saloon, and $500 upon the
seller Of beer alone One-half OF this
is divided equally among the NUM-
cipality, county and State, and the 9TH
err half goes to the road fund. A con-
servative calculation of the amount
of revenue that will be raised by this
method gives the sum of $1,600,000, of
which one-half, or 100000, will be
prorated among the several counties,
according to their respective terri
torial era. This calculation is based
upon the assumption that the number
of saloons will be reduced by half OF
this 100000, each square mile of ter
ritory will receive about $40, and the
average sized county of $50 square
miles will receive about $500. The
amount OF road this sum will build
each year will within a short period
pike a number of the leading high
ways.
In my opinion there will never be
any effective road system in Tennes-
see. until the State takes the present
system of leaving the road building
sunder the supervision of the several
counties. For the past century the
road question has been a matter strict
ly local, and, as a result, the roads
have improved woefully slowly, and in
some counties not at all. The roads
in this State are serious reflection
upon Tennessee. and their immediate
attention should commend itself to
every Tennessean who has the welfare
of the State at heart. For the most
urgent need of Tennessee today in the
promotion of the speedy development
of her resources Is good roads. The
system that my bill provides is meet
ing with universal approval among
all the counties, who have received
my proposition with general favor

LAruRE ORDER An INVEST
CATION
To Find out Who Wrote Certain
Newspaper Stories.

AUSTIN. Texas, Jan. 2S.-The ae-
lions of newspaper men In attendance
upon the Texas Legislature are to be
investigated. This is due to teie-
gram alleged to have been sent from
here to certain newspapers, charging
that Senator Bailey corrupted the NOR
ais and secured the voting strength
of the Legislature in HIS race for re-
election as United States Senator by
|"the use of wine, women and money
The members apparently resent this
statement, and the Senate today APP
pointed a committee to investigate
the conduct of newspaper men to see
which one, If any one here, sent out
such a story.
In the House a like resolution was
adopted. In both branches OF the Leg
islature committees were appointed to
conduct the investigation.
While the matter was under dis
cussion in the House resolution was
offered providing that inasmuch as It
was also charged in the public prints
that Senator Bailey had lobby in
fiuencing legislation. the same should
be investigated. This resolution was
voted down.
The Legislative Investigating Com
mittee was again in session today and
tonight without developing any ma
terial facts. Gruet did not appear be-
fore the committee today as was ex-
pected. the proceeding being confin-
ed to an examination of Mr.. Naudain,
auditor of the Waters-Pierce Oil Com
pany, which developed nothing par
ticularly new or interesting.

$500 FOR
ST PETERS
COURT or CLAIMS RENDERS YER
DICT FOR USE OF CHURCH
PROPERTY BY FEDERALs.


This morning the Rev. Mr.. Capers
was notified from Washington through
his brother, Hon. John G. Capers. lead
ing attorney in the claim Of ST. re-
ter's Episcopal Church, this CITY,
against the Government, for damages
IN the church and occupation as hos
pital during the war. that the Court
of Claims had rendered a verdict In
favor of the church for three thousand
one hundred dollars.
About two years since Mr. Capers
called the attention Of his vestry TO
what he conceived to be the just cause
or payment by the Government to them
of rent and for destruction of their
property by the occupation Of their
church during the war by Federal
troops, ana asked their consent TO
have the necessary steps taken to Sc
cure the collection of the claim. Mr..
Gamers then went actively to work
securing the affidavits of witnesses.
which he forwarded to Congressman
Padgett, who promptly brought them
to the attention of the Committee on
Claims and secured their endorse
ment. and the forwarding of the claim
to the Court for trial. The Vestry then
employed Hon. John. G. Capefs, who for
eight years was Assistant District At
torney for the Government in the
Court of Claims, and for four years
the District Attorney of the State II
South Carolina, and associated with
Mr.. Capers the firm of King & King,
one of the most prominent law firms
in Washington. These attorneys went
vigorously to work upon the case, and
in less than year have succeeded in
having it brought to trial and secured
a verdict The claim was for five
thousand, but Mr.. Capers and the YES
try seem very well satisfied with the
amount of the verdict and as the
machinery of the Government like
the mills of the gods, grind slowly
and exceedingly small" the time Ia
ken to get hearing and the find
ing made should be considered salts

OF the improvements that were pro

" opposed 70 coming into the eorpor-
alton. he was not enthusiastically in
favor OF IL. and that he moved that the
frst part OF Mr.. webster's resolution
be withdrawn and held for a future
meeting, and that he made that mo-
ton in lieu of all former motions.
The motion was seconded.
Mr.. whitthorne rcse and stated that
his proposition had been side tracked.
and that he himself about one year
ago had tried to raise funds to build
sidewalks, etc, and that he had pos
itiveIy been refused by some who were
plenty able to subscribe. and that he
did not think that 1t was the best plan.
and he asked for the consideration Of
his proposition. making a second
strong plea for the cause. The mo
ton TO adopt the Whitthorne propo-
sition was almost unanimously defeat
ed.
While all this discussion was In pro-
gress Mr.. J. A. Smiser was preparing
the following proposition and placed
Il before the house. The proposition
was read and after some discussion
was declared out OF order, and the
chairman was appealed to for vote
on the motions before the house. Mr..
Webster ruled that while the Smiser
agreement was out of order. he would
grant him few minutes in which to
solicit subscriptions from those pres
emit, as it was. best to get their names
while the business was fresh in their
minds. The following is the agree
ment:
1--WE, the undersigned, agree and
hereby do subscribe the amounts set
opposite our names for the purpose of
building sidewalk from the corpor-
ate limits to the Columbia Military
Academy, via the Hampshire and Mt.
Pleasant pixies, and we agree to set
back our fences eight (S) feet for the
purpose of a sidewalk, where We own
any lot or lots fronting on the Hamp-
shire pike, or extension of West Sew
enth street, or on the Mt. Pleasant
pike"
In response to the above call $4,000
was raised. This is a good start, but
is far from the amount necessary to
build the proposed pavements on both
pixies. Conservative estimates place
the cost at $4,000, and it is up to the
committee to raise the remaining
S2.250.0O.
The chairman called the meeting to
order and the motion made by
Mr.. Turner to cut out the first section

was voted on and carried.
The Chair then appointed commit

collect the same. The following gen.
tlemen were named: J. A. Smiser,
chairman; W. G. Whitthorne, ]. M.
shepperd, Jr., J. M. Parker and Horace
Rainey.
Mr.. Whitthorne made one final talk
and stated that while his proposition
had been set aside, that he was heart
lily in accord with the Improvement
spirit as manifested and that he would
be untiring in his efforts in the wei
fare of the community.
Upon motion the meeting adjourned
to meet again Monday evening, Feb
