2O5 QUESTIONS ARE
CALLED IMMATERIAL
MAYOR REFUSES TO ANSWER
THAT NUMBER
Judge Conrey Hears Arguments and
Will Make His Decision, Wednes-
day-Policy on Social Evil
Is Discussed

Whether Mayor Harper will be re-
quired to answer POS questions pro-
pounded to him when making his depo-
sition before notary to be used in the
trial of the city executives libel suits
against the Evening Express will not
be known before Wednesday, at which
time Judge Conrey said he would make
a ruling in the matter
Mayor Harper was before Judge Con-
rey yesterday on an order to show
cause why he should not answer the
questions His attorneys contended
that the same rules of evidence should
apply when a deposition is being taken
as govern during the trial of a case;
that the questions asked were imIna-
terial and no foundation had been laid
for them.
Attorneys for the evening paper, how
ever, maintained the foundation for the
questions or their materiality should
only be considered when the case
comes to trial, and that the taking of
deposition was merely preparatory
step.
Only few of the questions pro-
pounded in the notary's office were
read, Judge Conrey stating he had read
the complaints, answers and disputed
queries. 1t was stated by Earl Rogers,
attorney for the Express, that the firsr
group of questions related to a meet
ing held in February, March or April
in the mayors office, at which repre-
sentatives of newspapers We're present
and where the social evil was discussed,
the mayor, 1t was said, taking GER
tain position on the question.
. Calls Questions Material
The attorney believed questions re-
garding this conference were material.
Attorney Rogers also stated the mayor
refused to say whether he had con-
Versation with a man named Coombs
and Nick Oswald in the mayors office,
or to state the subject matter of the
alleged conversation.
HE was asked at whose invitation
Oswald came to the interview to meet
Coombs," said the attorney. He de-
clined to reply when asked If Oswald
was a possible purchaser of property
from Coombs and whether Oswald was
building houses in the restricted dis
trict to be used as houses of ill fame"
Other questions concerning the use
to which buildings on Garcia, Also and
Commercial streets were put and In re-
gard to provisions of the ordinances,
the attorney said, were unanswered.
One question in particular. he said,
that should be answered was whether
the mayor after his election had adopt
ed a policy with reference to the social
evil. 1.-THE ordinances cover these
things" said the attorney, 'and we be-
lieve this question is certainly ma
teriaP'
Attorney Appel of the mayors coun-
sci objected to the reading of the ques-
tions, and the court stated the matter
should be given as little publicity as
possible, as publication might tend to
prejudice the case and render it diff
cult to secure jurymen. Il shall rule
on these questions at 10 o'clock
Wednesday," said the court.

POSTOFFICES MAY
 BE CONSOLIDATED
DECATUR AND NEW DECATUR
 MAIL SERVICE MAY BE OPER- ATED FROM ONE OFFICE.
 WOULD BE GREAT SAVING.

Decatur, September 8.-(Special)- There is considerable talk here of con- solidating the Decatur and New Deca- tur postoffices and the erection of a gov ernment building for the home of the consolidated office. It is said here that the matter is being seriously considered by the department at Washington. The reason given for this is that Decatur is soon to have a free city mail de- livery New Decatur has had free delivery for some three years. The con solidation of the two offices would re- duce the running expenses of the mail service in the two Decaturs and at the same time it is claimed that this would result in a much better service than that which either city now has.
 At the present time the New Deca- tur office pays out in annual salaries about $9600 and the Decatur office pays out about $S500 annually in sal aries. It is claimed that if the two offices were united the annual expense would be about $19,700, or saving Of about $4400 annually to the department. The two offices are now about one mile apart and the two cities of Decatur and New Decatur join and are practi ; cally the same city, only being differ ent in names and in city government.
 Dr. C. B. Hogeboom and Miss Beat rice Wortham both of Decatur, went to Pulaski Tenn, on the afternoon train yesterday afternoon, where they were quietly married. They will make their home in Decatur.
 The infant son of MT. and Mrs. N. B. Peak died today. MT. Peak is gen eral secretary of the Railroad Young Mems Christian association in New Decatur. The funeral will take place tomorrow.

sleep day or night because of that dread full itching; when did sleep it was from sheer exhaustion. I was one mass of irritation; it was even in my scalp. The doctors medicine seemed to make me worse and was almost out of my mind. I read of Cuticura and sent my wife to the druggist, who was a member of my lodge of Odd Fellows, for a set of the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent. I used them per sistently for twenty-four hours. That night I slept like an infant, the first solid nights sleep had had for six months. I was not afraid to use plenty of Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Soap with hot water and in a weeks time was able to put on my clothes again. In a month I was cured. From that day to this cannot praise the Cuticura Remedies too highly. I may add that have very heavy head of hair which I owe to Cuticura. w. Harrison Smith, RED. 2, Mt. Kisco, N. Y., Feb. 8. '08.''
