President Roosevelt and the
other Republican leaders who
agree with him that the states
have been derelict in their duty
of protecting themselves against
trusts and other corporations,
should keep their eye on Ohio.
Judge Morris, Of the common

fenced thirty trust magnates to
Jail, for he declares fines are no
check against violations of the

Roosevelt has not succeeded in Sc
curing one such conviction by his

Frank $. White, Jr., Saturday re- ceived his commission as back tax commissioner of Jefferson County from Governor B. B. Conner and immediate ly took charge of the office. The com mission bears date of September 27 and was mailed here from Montgom- cry.
 The appointment of MT. White to the position occasions no surprise in Bir- mingham, as 1t has been tactily un- derstood that 1t would be made as soon as the. proper recommendation was made by the State Back Tax Com mission.
 Since September 1 MT. White has been in charge of the Tax Commis- sioners office. due to the resignation of B. A. Thompson, the former officer. He received his appointment as assist ant back tax commissioner about the middle of last May. and was left in charge of the office at MT. Thompson s retirement.
 Frank S. White. Jr., is one of the best known young attorneys in Bir- mingham and is actively associated here with his father, Capt. Frank s. White, ST., and brother, in the prac- tice of his profession.
 Maury c. White and W. T. Poe have been named by the new back tax com missioner as his assistants. They will enter at once upon the discharge of their duties.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. 2S.-After noon of October l, the Chattanooga division of the Southern Railway will be abandoned. It will be divided be- tween Knoxville and Atlanta divis- ions, as it was before the local division was created, none months ago.
 A similar fate will happen to the Mooresville division of the northern district. which will be combined with the Winston Salem division. A gen eral shakeup of officials of the ope- rating department will be the result of the consolidation of the divisions. F. P. PeIter, superintendent of the Chattanooga division, has been ordered back to his old division at Nashville
 Roadmaster Hannah will go back to Knoxville and assume his old duties as roadmaster of that division.
