The Atlanta Evening News has been placed
ia the hands of a receiver. Even Atlanta can
not support an unlimited number of newspapers.
Mayor J. G. Knapp is no longer an employe
Of the A. B. & A. Railroad Company and what
be does in his official capacity touching the in
terest of that railroad company, will no longer
be taken into question.
It is due the public, and the post Office force
IS we'll, to explain what appears to be lack OF
mail facilities adequate to the demand
The unprecedented influx of new people
with new names, makes the general delivery
window most excruciating test of the nerves,
not only of the public that lines up for its mail,
"A but for the employees on the inside. The album
dance of mail, together with many new names to
be learned, make it difficult job.
The shortage of lock-boxes might have been
overcome, but the probability of free delivery
az an early day, which will vacate large num-
Der of the boxes, has lead Postmaster Mars
Ton to hesitate about putting in additional boxes.
The force at the office is hard worked and no
H1ubt doing the best possible under the circum-
sances.
Following the announcement made yester.
8Av of the apportionment of the States public
ehOol fund to the various county school sys-
Hfns, State School Commissioner w. B. Merritt
aay.announced the appointments to the To-
school systems most of which are IN the
Ties and towns of the State and under local
Nrisdiction.
This apportonment, as stated, is made on
BASIS of $253 per pupil of school age. accord
Ne TO the last school census, which IS II cents
Nore per pupil than has ever before been paid.
Ibis does not include the fund derver from the
Ire of convicts nearly all of which is used for
eflOol purposes, and which is separately diStri-
Mhted.

on the Chevy Chase nine. The suit by the
father was for 5000 for recovery on ac-
count of less Of services ef his minor child.
The Court OF appeals reverSeS the judgment
Of the lower court IN both cases. and d.
reefs that the causes be remanded to the
Supreme Court of the District Of Columbfa
for 3 new trial The actual trial lasted
about two weeks. and after the evidence
had been submitted to the jury and the
Jury had reInaned out all night without
being able to agree upon verdict, Justice
Wright announced that he would withdraw
the case frem the jury and direct q verdict
IN favor of the defendant company in both
cases.
The circumstances were that young Bar
stow, aged about nine years at the time.
was walking along the Chevy Chase road
with hiS sister. who was younger than HIM
self. the afternoon OF the day Of the acct-
dent. when a freight car passed and the
child alleged that the mOtorman called to
him. and that in running toward the car,
responding to the motormans call, he fell
at the track and sustained the injury men
toned. Both the child and his sister alleged
that the child approached the car the
motorman was looking toward him and
talking to him. The mOtorman claimed
that he only saw the child as the car passed
him. and denied that he called Or saw him
when he reached close proximity to the
wheels 1t was also claimed that the child
was at the time attempting TO steal ride
the side of the car.
The Court Of Appeals holds that the case
presented one Of a direct conflict of evil
dence between the motormanS testimony
and that of the two children, which only
the jury had right to decide, and that 1t
was for the jury to say whether or not the
motorman under the circumstances, did
what was required Of him to do as rea-
sonable man-use precaution to avoid an
accident and whether 1t was not his duty
to have stopped the car.
1t is said that the case involved many
interesting points and was the hrst IN
stance on record in the Supreme Court OF
the District of Columbia where trial
Justice had undertaken to withdraw case
from jury and direct verdict after the
submission of the matter. to the jury.
Rulings in Other Cases.
The District Supreme Court was affirmed
in the cases of Collins VS.. McBlair, Stone
vs.. Fowlkes,, Balster VS.. Cadick and Smith
VS.. Smith The action of that court was
reversed in the case of Howison VS.. Howl
son. in which the Appellate Court directs
that decree be entered In accordance with
the bill as modified by the complainants
disclaimer as to part OF certain lots.
The Court of Appeals decided four patent
appeal cases, in three of which. Burson vs.
VoseI and the two cases of Woods vs.
Poor the decision of the commissioner of
patents was reversed. The commissioners
action was sustained. however. in the mat
ter of the application of f. c. Atkins & Co

CHICAGO. April 3.--The most intense
campaign in municipal politics that Chi
cage has experienced III many years closed
last night with the election of Frederick
A. Busse, the republican candidate for
mayor. over Edward F. Dunno. his demo-
cratic rival and a candidate for Reelection.
Busse's plurality was between $1,000 and
1909
The issues in the campaign have been
largely based upon the improvement Of the
local traction systems. Both parties agreed
that present conditions are intolerable but
differed as to the best method of revising
them. The democratic party, headed by
Mayor Dunno, stood for immediate mu-
nicipal ownership through condemnation of
the street car properties if the result could
not De obtained in any other way
The republican party favored ordinances
which were recently passed by a demo-
cratic city council over the veto OF Mayor
dunno. These ordinances provided for
twehty-year franchises for the street car
companies. the city retaining the right to
purchase the systems for $4,000. OOO plus
the amount TO be spent for Immediate re-
