JAMESTOWN SEES
BLACK SPECTRE.
AMERICAN NAVAL OFFICERS AND
NORFOLK SOCIETY FEAR THE
COMING OF HAITIAN.

CHICAGO, April ga special to
the Tribune from Norfolk, Va, says:
If the Republic Of Hayti carries out
its threat there will be more trouble
at the jamestown exposition than all
the old English pioneers put together
ever encountered in the strenuous
times the big show is intended to COM
memorate,
A report from Washington, which
Just got out to Rear Admiral Evans
fleet today and gave the officers seven
different varieties of craftsmanship
the Haytian Government is trying to
borrow a warship somewhere with the
object of sending it to the naval re-
view as the flagship of Vice Admir-
al
A Haytian Vice Admiral would be
black and probably short and extreme
ly black.
That, though bad enough, is not all.
The Haytian Vice Admiral. black and
short and fat, would be the only Vice
Admiral, with the possible exception
of the commander of the Japanese
squadron, at the exposition. And, acy
cording to the etiquette a the navy,
all the other naval officers would have
to kowtow to him and give him social
and official precedence.
Such is the emergency with which
Admiral Evans and the officers of his
feet have been suddenly confronted.
The prospects of Haytian Vice lAd-
miraPs coming spread consternation
all ND and down the long line of bat
tleships anchored off the city
No official action has been taken as
yet. but there is talk of sending fly
ing squadron out to sea with orders
to see that the Haytian warship and
its Vice Admiral loses its way between
the black Republic and jamestown.
Scarcely less than the commotion
caused by the report among the Of
ficers of Admiral Evans feet Is the
commotion it has caused In social CIT
Giles here. There will be a good deal
of official and unofficial entertaining
of one kind and another while the
fleets are here, and social leaders are
wondering how they will have to treat
this short, fat, and extremely black
Vice Admiral, if he should suddenly
appear and claim all his privileges.
1t Is a question which they refuse
to discuss, but they hope the Haytian
sailor will stay at home.

PENDLETON BILL
CONSTITUTIONAL
SAYS ONE OF THE HIGHEST LEGAL AU-
THORITIES in THE STATE
Techncalitv Upon Which Attack Based is Too Fnsy
To Stand-Supreme Court Would Not bubble
Over so Small a Thing.

the Senate bill was substituted and
passed. This procedure is frequently
resorted to in order to expedite legis-
lation, and is admissible and legal
where the bills are identical 1t is
presumed that this was the case with
this bill, because the records do not
show that the House bill was amend
ed so as to conform to the Senate bill,
which is done in making substitution
where there is a difference in the
form or substance of the two.
However, should it appear that the or
iginal bill was properly wrawn,it would
not affect the legal status of the case,
since the Supreme Court has held that
the enrolled copy signed and attested
by the Speakers and the Governor is
presumed to be correct, and will be
the only copies looked to by the
Court In other words, the enrolled
bill, when signed by the Governor and
Speakers, Is the law.
Friends of the temperance move
ment are not in any way concerned
over the attack on the Pendleton law.
because they believe that the techni-
cality upon which the attack is based
is too flimsy to stand. Able lawyers
have expressed opinion that the SUI
preme Court would promptly sustain
the law. One of the highest legal
authorities in the State had this to
say when the grounds upon which the
law had been attacked were present
ed him:
There is not thing in that con-
tention, and / am surprised that 1t
should have been raised. II this is
the only defect in the Pendleton law,
its constitutionality is assured. What
is the General Assembly of Tennessee
but the General Assembly Of the State
of Tennessee? Does any one for a
moment presume that the Governors
signature to a State document de-
scribing himself as the Governor OF
Tennessee would be any less binding
in law than II he had prescribed him
self as the Governor of the State OF
Tennessee? Tennessee is the State
of Tennessee, and the Supreme Court
is not going to bubble over slight
technicality of this cort."

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 23.-Gov.
Patterson late today named the long
expected commission of Memphis as
follows: ]. ]. Williams, President;
John T. Walsh, Vice President; d. 5.
Rice, T.. b. Lemaster and 8. M. Nicely.
The Governor also announced the
appointment of George Alban to be
Judge of the Municipal Court, and j.

ed Misdemeanor Court of Shelby
County. The Governor tonight LETT
for Nashville and will tomorrow sign
the commissions of the gentlemen
named. who will assume charge as
soon as their credentials can be
brought back to Memphis. As the APP
pointees are all men Of high standing,
largely interested in the material well
fare of Memphis, 1t is believed that
the appointments will give general
satisfaction. The end OF the long
strain is welcomed on all sides, as the
business OF the city. in view OF the
impending change, had necessarily
stagnanted, and important enterprises
were awaiting the appointments.

SPECIAL SESSION
OF GILES COURT
BODY TO TAKE STEPS LOOKING
TO THE REBUILDING OF
COURT HOUSE,

PULASKI, Tenn, April 23.-County
Judge McMillion has called a, special
session of the County Court for April
30 to take steps toward rebuilding the
court house, which burned Saturday
night. Ii is said that good many OF
the Magistrates are opposed to the
idea of letting the work out by con-
tract to foreign bidders on account OF
the opportunities offered for graft and
are inclined to favor the idea of turn
ing the job over to some competent
man among the local merchants ito
superintend and let the work all be
done by home labor as far as prac-
ticable.
Clerk and Master Alternately, Cir
emit Court Clerk Rivers and Squires
Culps and Aymett are located in the
second story of the Reynolds Block,
and Judge McMillion and County Court
Clerk Jack Flournoy are in vacant
storehouse in the same block on the
ground floor. Register Brown and
SQUIRE Dismukes occupy a building
in the Buford Block.
The origin of the fire continues
mystery. and some talk of incendar-
ism is given but little weight.

Negro Boy Puffs Like An Engine and
Sings Like 5uIlfrog.

HOPKINSVILLE, KY, April 2S.--
Charlie Roach, a negro boy OF this
city, 16 years of age, has been ad-
Judged of unsound mind and sent to
the Western Lunatic Asylum here for
treatment. 1t was the excessive use
of cigarettes that caused the boys
reason to give way, until he could no
longer be left at large.
He labored under two very peculiar
decisions. One Of these was an IDEA
that he was a railroad locomotive, and
he would whistle, buff and blow just
like an engine, using his arms to per-
form the duties of piston-rods' he
also at time imagined that he was a
frog. and would roll and turn his eyes
like one and make a noise like bull
frog.

Much interest has been aroused in
the contest instituted at Knoxville to
test the constitutionality of the Pen
dleton law extending the four-mile
law to cities of 10000 inhabitants
hereafter Incorporated, on the ground
of an alleged defect in the enacting
clause of the law. An examination
of the enrolled bill, as signed by the
Sneakers and the Governor, says the
Nashville American, is as fol-
lows: BE it enacted by the General
Assembly of Tennessee" while the
Constitution prescribes that this
clause shall read; BE 1t enacted by
the General Assembly of the State OF
Tennessee" the words the State OF
being omitted in the enrolled act.
An effort was made to ascertain
whether or not the error was made In
the original bill introduced by Senator
Pendleton or by the Engrossing Clerks
when the bill was enrolled after lts
passage. The Clerk of the Senate
was not in the city on Friday, and
therefore the original Senate Dill
could not be examined However
from the examination of the House
bill on the same subject, it seems al
together probable that the error was
made in enrolling the bin.
The bills to extend the Adams law
were introduced in both the House
and the Senate about the same time,
the bill introduced in the Senate oy
Senator Pendleton being Senate Bill
Is. while the bill as introduced in the
House by Messrs. Askew and McElroy
became House Bill No. -67. These
bills were presumed to have been
identical. an exact copy of each other,
and the records of the passage OF the
Pendleton bill shows that the mem
bers acted on this assumption.
When the Pendleton bill was passed
in the Senate it was at once engross-
ed and transmitted to the House. In
the meantime the House bill had Deen
reported for passage by the Commit
tee on Liquor Traffic, SO the Senate
bill was allowed to lay on the desk
without being passed to third reading.

Editor the Herald:
In answer to your inquiry as to
when final surveys and location of the
electric car line would be made and
commencement Of construction. will
say. surveys should be completed via
Spring Hill route to Mount Pleasant
last of next week, in fact, all routes
should be investigated and final route
decided upon, and all rights of way
signed up not later than the 18th, as
we will begin construction on the
25th of next month, and complete it
and put electric car line in full opera
ton within IA months from June.
We hope to finish up the Franklin
end by December. .
AS president / announce We are
ready to build and equip the electric
line without asking cent cash dona-
ton, provided the gentlemen who own
the lands through which We pass will
give us the right of way-otherwise
we could not build. We are willing
to take the risk of finally showing the
electric line will earn interest on its
cost, if the property owner is willing
to be contented with the profit that
will accrue 10 him as owner of land,
to say nothing of what we both do for
the public's benefit. Working togeth@
er we can make our noted blue grass
section the most inviting spot on
earth, and bring about realty values
that within two years will surprise
us; but this increase in value, to my
mind, does not compare with the
greatest blessings, viz: making farm
life along our route more attractive
and delightful than city life, making
it possible by securing cheap rates.
