BiN to Tax Booker Washington's
 School Lands or Adverse Docket.

It has been decided by the House to consider ehe bill relating to the tax alton of property belonging to the Tus- kegee Normal and Industrial Institute and for this reason it was removed last evening from the adverse calendar and will probably come up for discussion on Friday. The fight over the portion of the property of Booker Washing tons school which shall be taxed promises to be one of the most spec tacular of the remaining days of the session.
 The question to take the bill from the advase calendar brought on a lengthy discussion at the night session Of the House. It was moved by MT. Thompson of Macon, the author, to take this from the adverse calendar and discuss it in committee of the whole.
 Mir. Lee of Houston said "it is charged aud stated that the school in TuskeGee is buying and selling land and using it for speculation-that 1t is not school land and I do not think this Legislature should allow such land to be exempted from taxes the same as school taxes"
 Mir. Hoffman said: 'If this school enjoys constitutional exemption from this State. there is no idea to take away one iota from what that school now enjoys. But if by the bountiful gifts from the North they have been able to acquire lands and claim< exemption

therefor, then submit the gentle man from Macon should be heard If he asks that you should not extend the exemptions in order that the white people may Tot be driven from the county. then I think 1t Is matter that should be heard"
 On a division vote the bill was taken from the adverse calendar.
 Mir. John moved to have the bill put upon the calendar which motion pre- vailed. The committee of the whole therefore reported to the House favor ably.
 The bill to appropriate s5.0O0 annu- ally to Dale County for High School at Ozark, which went down to defeat on Tuesday last, was reconsidered last evening.
 MT. Stegall made strong plea for his bill and told the House how the county intended to deed to the State a school building valued at more than $10,000. He said that since the coun- ty had voluntarily done away with its dispensaries, 1t was badly in need of funds for scnool purposes.
 He was followed by several speakers who spoke in favor of the bill. It was passed by vote of yeas 59. nays 5.
 Senator Teasley's bill to make the judges of the City Court of Montgom- cry elective by the people, instead of appointive. was taken up and passed without question. It now goes to the Governor for approval.

Negro Lad Invents Fine Scheme
 to Get Change, But Lands in Jail.

York Smith, a negro. who has just straddled over the prohibitory age limit, under which no offending party according to the juvenile court law, may be locked up in a jail or prison. is pronounced by men skilled in the handling of crime one of the shrewd- est defendants who ever had to face the judgment bar of the Recorder's s Court. He was arrested early We'd nesday morning on charge of sus- picion, which today is expected to be changed to that of embeZzlement.
 Detective J P. Avant, who made the arrest of the negro, says that the po- lice department had received a number of complaints against some boys who were we'll versed in the art of film flamming. Several youthful scions of the Ethiopian race would volunteer to sell for country producers and vendors the produce they had at their disposal, The negro would tell the vender that a certain party a few doors below their wagon desired. for instance, two quarts of tomatoes and change for $2.

When the negro had received both to- matoes and change. he would make away with his embezZled property.
 York worked his gag very success fully until he struck Temple Bates. a negress vender. when he secured from her some produce and $1.90 change. Temple at once reported the matter to police headquarters, describ- ing the negro. and then journeyed home.
 Yesterday morning Special Officer Avant went out to York's house on South Decatur street. saw that the ne- gro was in and set to work to get him. After a most thorough search, which revealed nothing, the officer was almost really to despair of catching the negro at that time, when upon sudden inspiration he decided to look between the mattress of the bed and the springs.
 York. a great big grin on his face, crawled over the springs, confessed that he treated Temple very badly. and will be tried this afternoon at the police court because of the treatment
