LAW AN ADVAN TACE
County Gains Over Three
Thousand Dollars by
Oepositories.
THIS YEARS COLLECTIONS

The eleven months in which the
depository law has been operated, So
S61 &c has been paid to the county in
interest. Under the provisions of the
old law this sum would have been
lost, SO far as the county is concern
ed. The law provides that all but a
certain proportion of this money shall
be placed in the general fund. The
remainder, which amounts to about
5000 goes to the school fund.
The monthly collections of interest
since the first of the Yer have been:
January s32799: February $196.54:
March $257.99; April s354.97; May
s616.77; June s50199: July s307S5; +;
August s211.15; September S241.39; /;
October $294.14; November s556.34.
The interest paid during May and
November was made unusually large
owing to the increased receipts by
the county treasurer as the semi-an-
nual installment of taxes was paid. A
number of tax payers prefers to pay
the entire amount at the May install
ment and for this reason May was a
larger interest securing month than
November when the second install
ment falls due.

PARTY MUCH MORTIFIED
GIRLS HAD RIDDEN AROUND THE
PRESIDENTIAL PARTY AND
ROOSEVELT SEEMED FURIOUS
AT ACTION. ---.

Washington, Dec 1S.-A local even
ing paper printed the following Thurs
day.
How President Roosevelt severely
rebuked a party from the National
Park Seminary at Forest Glen, Md,
for riding past him Thanksgiving Day
in Rock Creek park and how he caus-
ed the horse one of the girls was rid
ing to rear and plunge by striking it
with his riding whip is told in a sto-
ry which has pust leaked out and been
confirmed by Miss E. |. Sisson, teacher
in the school, who was the chaperOne
for the party.
Miss Sisson and three of the girls
of the institution, whose names are
withheld, went for a horseback ride
through Rock Creek Park Thanksgiv-
ing morning. AS they were jogging
along one of the tree-lined roads of the
National Reserve they saw party
ahead of them. which included two wo-
men and two men. AS they closed up
the gap between the two parties, Miss
Sisson says she recognized one of the
men as President Roosevelt.
For some time the seminary party
rode slowly behind the chief executive
party But the spirited animals
wanted to go faster, declares Miss
Sisson, and finally the girls galloped
| past the presidential party.
When they slowed their horses
down again few minutes later they
heard rapid hoofbeats behind them
! The rider was pressing his horse hard
and he soon overlook them.
"'As we were riding four abreast at

| Miss Sisson, continuing the narrative
AS he brushed past, his horse struck

Alleged by Wife of Deceased
That Diamonds Worn by
Mrs. Bertsch Were Given to
Her by Dead Husband.
WOULDN'T BURN LETTERS
BUT PROMISED "BURNING"
Mrs. Cheesman Alleged to
Have Threatened Punish
ment-Letters Will Be Re-
turned to Wife.

1t is alleged that Mrs. Effie Bertsch
of Centerville. the alleged affinity of
the late f. NJ Cheesman. secured
money from him. Ii is further re-
ported about town, that Mrs. Chees-
man, after the death of her husband,
went to Mrs. Bertsch and demanded
the return OF all the money she had
secured from Cheesman.
This morning Postmaster J. A.
Spekenhier denied this report. He
said that when Mrs. Cheesman ap-
peared before him and Post Office In
spector w. T. Fletcher she said that
the diamonds and other things Mrs
Bertsch was wearing had been pur-
chased by money furnished by her
husband, but that she did not want
this money refunded to her. Mr.
Spekenhier states that Mrs. Chees-
man stated that all she wanted was
revenge"
1t was also stated to a Palladium re.
porter, that Mrs. Cheesman after the
death of her husband went to see Mrs
Bersch and told her that she had
learned through letters found in her
husbands effects that she and Chees-
man had intimate relations. 1t is
alleged that after she had made this
statement to her husbands affinity
Mrs. Bertsch said, Well, Dear, you
burn those letters up" 1t is said that
Mrs. Cheesman in answer, replied
NO, | won't burn those letters up
but | intend to burn you up"
After Mrs. Bertsch's trial all of hei
letters will be returned to Mrs. Chees
man. Mr.. Spekenhier states that
when Mrs. Cheesman turned over the
four hundred letters of Mrs Bertsch
to Posteffice Inspector Fletcher, she
made formal demand upon the gov
ernment that these letters be returned
to her after the trial or her rival
1t is generally believed that Mrs
Bertsch will be convicted of the charge
placed against her. Postoffice inspec-
tors and members of the United States
secret service. have d code of honor
which provides that no arrest shall be
made in any case unless the evidence
is such that it is an absolute certain
ty that the accused will be convicted
Postoffice Inspector Fletcher. who Sc
cured the evidence in this case, has
been in the government service for the
past thirty yearss
People who have seen some of the
letters alleged to have been written by
Mrs. Bertsch to Cheesman. state that

are so highly Favored that it would
be impossible for the yellowest kind OF

Appellate Court Reverses De-
CiSiOn of Lower Courts in
Greensboro Case.
APPEAL is IMPROBABLE.
COW LOT RESPONSIBLE FOR d.
VISION OF OPINION IN LITTLE
TOWN FOR THE PAST SEVER
AL YEARS.

BY decision of the Appellate court
rendered yesterday, the verdicts of the
commissioners court and Special
Judge Newman of the circuit court, in
the case involving the incorporation
of the town of Greensboro are revers
ed. The higher court has decided the
incorporation is illegal. 1t is not prob
able the case will be taken to the
supreme court. The verdict ends a
controversy that has been waged for
several years. BY revising the boun-
Diary lines of the proposed incorpor-
ation, It might become possible to
bring about the same purpose.
Courts Finding.
In its decision, the court found:
The running of the boundary lines
of town under the power conferred
by Sec. 1915 to 1888, Burns. 1908
when seeking to incorporate, was lille.
gal by reason of the unreasonable
and unwarrantable manner in which
such power was exercised where the
boundaries were made to include ap,
pellantS cow pasture, entirely Separ-
ated from the plated part of the town
by intervening lands, which pasture
was not used as part of the town nor
held for sale as part thereof, while an
intervening strip 220 feet wide on the
side of appellants land and adjoining
the platted town was excluded in or

in the appellate court.

Henry county and Senator-elect Ralph
Kane, of Hamilton county.
Senator Cox says it is the intention
of the committee to make some i'm
portant amendments to the present
rules of the senate. These amend
lments will have for their main pur-
pose the securing to the republicans
of absolute control of the senate from
the time the curtain goes up till the
last work is spoken. The republicans
have a clear majority in the senate
and they do not propose to lose any
of the power and privileges that this
situation gives them. even though the
democrats will have the presiding of.
ficer of the body.
Hall Deprived of Power.
One of the most important changes
in the rules will be one that will take
away from the lieutenant governor
the power to appoint members of com
mittees and give that power to the
senate itself. This will insure a ma.
jority of republicans on all the com
mittees and a republican chairman for
each committee as well, thus main
tanning a complete republican organ.

He will be permitted to call the sen

ministers to offer the prayers and to

may permit him to name the minor
ity members of the committees but
even this is not yet certain. And
they may allow him TO name his own
pages. But all other officials and en-
ployes of the senate will be chosen
by the republicans.
Look Far Ahead.
Another thing the republican com
mittee has in mind, according to Sen,
ator Cox is change in the rule sc
that all important matters must be
decided by a majority of the entire
vote of the senate instead of major

be unable to do anything without re

Course is Right.
The republicans have been severely
criticized by the democrats for their
announced purpose TO assume and
hold control of the senate. but the re
publicans are recalling history and
pointing to the time when Greene
