TEAMS COLLIDE
ON HELMS BRIDGE
AGED MAN THROWN FROM WAGON
INTO THE BRANCH AND
BADLY HURT.

An aged white man named Temple
was seriously injured Monday evening
at the cedar bridge over Helmn's
branch just east of town. Mr.. Tenn
pie was returning to his home from
town and when he drove onto the
bridge another team ran against his
wagon. Wagon, horse and man were
thrown off the bridge, the railing hav-
ing broken by the impact The dis
lance of the fall was about twenty
feet, but the wagon and steed were not
injured. Mr.. Temple sustained two
broken ribs and was badly bruised and
shaken. He was brought to town for
treatment and was later taken to his
home.

the laborers, especially the courts
that have held the laws limiting the
hours of labor to be void and uncon-
stitutional.
One the question of the granting of
injunctions in labor disputes the Pres
ident says:
There is also, l think, ground for
the belief that substantial injustice is
often suffered by employees in conse-
quence of the custom of courts issu-
ing temporary injunctions without no
tice to them and furnishing them for
contempt of court in instances where,
as a matter of fact, they have no
knowledge of any proceedings. Pro
vision should be made that no injunc-
ton or temporary restraining order
issue otherwise than on notice, ex-
cept where irreparable injury would
otherwise result land in such case a
hearing on the merits of the order
should be had within a short fixed
period, and If not then continued af,
ter hearing it should forthwith lapse.
Decisions should be rendered immedi-
ately and the chance of delay min
imized in every way"
The President renews his recon-
mendations for the establishment of
postal savings banks; for a parcels
post; for national parks and forest
reserves; for increases in the army
and navy and for additional legis1a-
ton to safeguard the public health |
and further guarantee the inspection
Of foods. The President also takes a
strong stand for liberal improvements |
If the water ways of the country.

ENORMOUS YIELD
IRISH POTATOES
RETURNS OF TWELVE ACRES ON
c. r. DEMONS FARM SUR.
PASS ALL RECORDS.
NET RESULTS NEARLY S4,325
Almost 200 Barrels, Some of Which
Were Sold For 81 Per
Barrel.

All records on the returns from
Maury county farming lands were
broken this year by C. R. Denton OF
Glendale, who sold the crops from
twelve acres for a total of $4,352.0O,
or an average of $362.66 an acre, and
il is almost safe to say that the record
on a plot of ground as large has not
been equaled in the state this year.
Mr.. Denton planted the land in Irish
potatoes and the first crop yielded
1928 barrels. He sold 1904 barrels Of
merchantable potatoes from these to
G. d. Park of Culleoka at $1.75 bar
rel, or a total of $1,932.OO, and sold in
addition 220 barrels of seed potatoes
at $1.00 a barrel. The yield from the
second crop of Irish potatoes on the
same land was / 100 barrels, which
Mr.. Denton has sold for spring deliv-
cry to F. F. Clawson for $500 per bar
rel One acre of the land overflowed
during the second planting or the
crop would have been larger Mr..
Denton estimates that with the re-
moval of about fifty stumps in part
of this it would produce as high as
$50 barrels of potatoes an acre on
single crop.

TRAGEDY SHOCKS
ST. LOUIS AGAIN
=. D. HIRsCHBERG, PROMINENT
IN ALL CIRCLES, rs THE VIC
TIM THIS TIME.
MYSTERY SURROUNDS CRIME
Family Say He Was Slain BY Burglar,
But Police Declare Death a
Suicide.

ST LOUIS, Dec. S,-Francis D.
Hirschberg, prominent in the Roman
Catholic Church, and a personal friend
of Archbishop Glennon, also we'll
known in club and business circles,
and as a director of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition, was shot and
killed at his home here early today.
Whether his death was the result OF
murder or suicide has not been deter
mined. Members of the family aver
that he was the victim of a burglar.
The police investigators take the 9TH
er view, declaring that there was no
evidence of the presence of intruders
in the home. A trail of bloodstains
on the stairway leading from the re-
ception hall on the first floor indicated
that Mr.. Hirschberg was shot at the
foot of these stairs and then turned
and walked back to his bedroom on
the second floor, From there he
crossed a hallway and passed through
his wife's room to the bath room. AS
he returned, staggering into his wife's
room, Mrs. Hirschber awoke just in
time to see him sink to the floor I'M
scious according to statements made |
to the police. Mrs. Hirschherg had |
her husband carried to his bedroom, |
where he died He made no state I
ment as to how he was shot. So far /
as the police could learn no member
of the household was on the lower
floor 1t was found that deafness of
long standing prevented Mrs. Hirsch-
berg from hearing the report of the
revolver. The weapon used was an
old affair of a type used thirty years
ago, and members of the family told
the police they had never seen it be-
fore The bullet which caused death
was not found

CHAS. A. PARKER
DISBUP SING AGENT
CASHIER OF MAURY NATIONAL
WILL HANDLE FUNDS FOR
ERECTING POSTOFFlCE.

As predicted in The Herald several
days ago Charles A. Parker, Cashier
of the Maury National Bank, has been
appointed disbursing agent for the
government funds here used in the
construction of the postoffice build
ing Mr. Parker received notice of
his appointment from Washington
Wednesday, the appointment having
been made at the Treasury depart
ment last Monday.
This appointment is not only nice
compliment to Mr. Parker but it will
give him a most comfortable sinecure.
The work will be light although the
responsibility of correctly and accu-
Tately disbursing $4,000 of Uncle
Sans cash is considerable, and the
pay will be according to the respon-
Slbility and not the work. Hence the
place is most desirable one from
every standpoint.
Mr. Parker will execute the neces-
sary bond at once and it is expected
mat the work of paying out the funds
Will begin at an early date thereafter. /

CAREFUL DRIVING
AVERTS ACCIDENT
w. j. ANDREWS HAS THRILLING
ESCAPE FROM COLLISION
WITH FIRE ENGINE.

w. j. Andrews, an aged white man
from Shady Grove, had a narrow es-
cape from death Wednesday imme-
diately after the alarm Of fire and but
for the skillful driving of John Hack
ney, driver of the fire engine, his end
would surely have come The acct
dent occurred on South Main street
just below Eighth.
Haavy engine was going at full
speed down the steep hill when Mr..
Andrews horse became unmanagea-
BILE and got right in the way. Hack
ney pulled the fire horses far to one
side and 1t looked as If he would sure
ly run into the sidewalk and a serious
accident would result. He managed
to avoid this and to strike only
stating blow to the Andrews buggy.
The shafts and one front wheel Of the
buggy were broken. but no further
damage was done.
Hackney is one of the most expert
drivers in the city, and but for his
care and expert management, many
accidents would doubtless have oc-
cured in the runs to fires.

Special to The Herald.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. S.-A
vigorous attack on certain features OF
the antitrust law; the advocacy of a
law vesting the entire control and
supervision of railroads in the inter.
state commerce commission; the ad-
vocacy of postal savings banks; an
urgent plea for modification of the
injunction law is labor disputes; an
earnest defense of the courts as a
whole but an attack upon the ''reac-
tionary" judges, are marked features
of the annual message Of President
Roosevelt transmitted to the Congress
today and read in both Houses. The
reading of the message was listened to
attentively, but it did not create any
very profound impression.
Discussing the railroads the Presi-
dent says that they should be put
completely under the interstate COM
merce commission and removed en-
tirely from the domain of the anti
trust law. The power of the commits
sion should be made thorough going so
that it could exercise complete super
vision and control over the issue of
securities as we'll as lowering and
raising of rates.

WILL AGAIN SELL
EVERETT FARM
THROUGH MlSUN-
LANDING, FAIL TO CON-
PLY WITH ORDER OF COURT.

Because of the failure of the pur-
chasers at the sale of the Everett farm
on Monday to comply with the terms
of the sale, it will be necessary to
again advertise and resell that prop
erty. It was enormously announced
by the auctioneer that the purchaser
of this property would get immediate
possession and the buyers acted upon
that idea This statement was OF
course, incorrect, because every sale
made persuant to the DEGREES of a
court of Chancery must be confirmed
before possession can be given or any
title pass to the purchaser.
When this fact was ascertained by
the purchasers at the auction they
declined to accept the property and
Clerk and Master Akin, of the Chan
Gerry Court, found it necessary to re-
advertise the property and the sale
will take place at the court house door
on January 25. There will be a spe-
cial term Of the Chancery Court early
in February when the sale can be con-
armed and deed given to the purchaser.
It is expected that at the next sale the |
property will bring a much better price

the President pending the investiga-
ton OF CERTAIN charges against Mr..
Jackson involving a violation of the
civil service rules. The charges not
being sustained the nomination was
sent to the Senate for the third time.
