He said he believed that bits marriage
would be the btst taing for him; that he
hoped he would re'tic down IT, busine Sc

$4,000, enough to buy home.
Intention to Leave.
Had Mrs. Triplett been allowed to
testify she would have told that on
reaching home her brother sought his
room and suDmoning her. stated that
he was to be married that afternoon to
Viola Strother. He said that he had
loved her for three years and that she
was sick, threatened with typhoid fe-
yer. This fact occasioned the hasty
marriage. He told OF their plans. say
Ing that Viola would have about 3d.

that he would try to secure that home
as near to his mothers as possible In
order that he might still look after
her and provide for her comfort. He
asked for n diamond ring of his in the

The selection of Senator Culberson
for the position was anticipated long
before the announcement that he had
been pledged a majority Of the Demo-

The meeting was called to order at
S:l5 O'Clock by Chairman E. d. Rich
ardson, with all the members pres
ent. There were also in attendance

ofiico member of the Board Of Sink
ing Fund Commissioners Subchairman
II. r. Pollard. Jr., Messrs. Cannon,
Mills, Dabney, City Accountant George
S. Crenshaw and City Attorney II. r.
Pollard.
Chairman Richardson explained that
he had called the meeting without con-
sulting any other member in order to
formulate a plan of procedure. He had
had the Mayor, City Attorney. chair
man and subchairman OF the Finance
Committee summoned to appear. With
little or no discussion of the details Of
procedure, the committee decided to
hear the Mayor first, and he promptly
took the floor.
Mayor Mccarthy stated as a prelimi-
nary that he had full stenographic re-
ports of his two speeches. one at the
Mechanics Institute and tho other at
the T. p a. rooms. He stood by every
word of both these speeches as they
are recorded, but was not responsible
for newspaper publications of his adj
dresses. The Mayor then declared that
he had not charged the Finance Com
mittee with violating their oaths of
office, hut did say that IT, after being
informed that the charter required the
Auditor to make UP the annual budget,
the Finance Committee persisted in
doing this they would then violate
their oaths of office.
The Mayor read with emphasis, Sec
ton 36 of the charter, which specifi-
cally requires the Auditor to make up
the budget and forward 1t to the Coun-
Gil. and in the course of his reading
made an cXpositor yanalysis of the
section,
Serious Danger.
When he had finished reading the
| section, the Mayor charged anew that

| terms of the charter had no right to
| do what the Auditor was specifically
required to do Ho must, with the re-
ports of the heads Of departments as

USE HIS INFLUENCE
TO DEFEAT FORAKER
President Roosevelt Said to Have
Set His Mind to Have Long
worth Made Senator.
VERY LITTLE TALK OF TAFT
by WALTER EDWARD HARRIS.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April 30
The statement Is made upon very high
authority that President Roosevelt has
determined that Representative Mich
olas Longworth. his son-in-law, shall
succeed Senator Foraker in the Senate
from Ohio. the recent slur upon
Nicholas by Senator Foraker is said
to be deeply rezented by the President,
who proposes to show the Senator tho
in the Buckeye State.
The fact Ia commented upon that
Southern Republicans have absolutely
ceased to discuss Secretary Taft as a
Republican presidential possibility, and
all are insistent upon President Roose-
welt for third term. 1t is believed
that Taft talk Is being discouraged in
White House circles. although the
President urged Taft to get out and
go after the nomination. 1t looks like
the President were making himselS
the nominee by tho process of elimi-
nation.
Inland Waterways Commission.
Representative Bankhead, who is
here attending the meeting Of the In
land Waterways Commission of which
he is the only Southern member, said
the business of the commission. so far
is confined to discussion of plan of
work. The commission, which has laid
out for 1t big lot of labor, travel and
investigation, has not a cent of money
appropriated for its enterprises, and
must depend upon a specific appropria-
ton by Congress. unless President
Roosevelt, who took the responsibility
of naming the commissioners assumes
the further responsibility Of their bust
ness expenses out of his own pocket.
The commission is therefore in somc-
thing OF dilemma as to what it
Will do.
