ExEMPTIoNRENovED
TRUSTEES MUST DO JURY AND
 ROAD DUTYs
Attorney General Elaborafes His o1in- ion and Rules That School TruA~ tees Must subma& to Call
 for Duty

By elaborating yesterday his opinion delivered on the subject April 2. Att tsrney General Alek M. Garber ruled positively that disErict school trustees in Alabama are lialbie for jury ana road duty and that they have been SO liable since May 1, ths date of the going into effect of thS new Code.
 This settles disputes which have arisen in many of the counties where actual summons have been served on the trustees to do road and jury duty: The trusteesf by a misconstruction of the former (opinion of the Attorney Geueral. rekisted the call 10 these du- ties. maintaining that they were not liable unN October l. 1908.
 So taugled had the matter become that th& Attorney General agreed yes terdayf to furnish the Department of rulk/s npholds the county officers who ara Issuing the summons The effect og&she former opinion is mot disturbed, WoWever, which was to exempt the ftrustees from the payment of poll tax until October 1.
 The reason that the trustees were ex- empt from poll tax this year was that the new Code did not go into effect until May 1, or on day subsequent to the time when the poll tax should have been paid by all people desiring to vote this year. Therefore. prior to May 1, Section 3575 of the Code or 1sse. was in full operation in Febru- ary and until May 1. This section ex- ernpted the trustees from the payment of any poll tax so long as they were in office and likewise exempted them from road and jury duty.
 Jurv and road duty are different from the DOH tax liability inasmuch as poll taxes are not due until october l. and deIinauent until February 1. while the other duties are to be performed at any time through the year. For this req son theTe was a nisunderstanaing as tn .lfhe intent of the original opinion of the Attorney General. based on the roing into effect of the new Code which sbo1ished the exemptions altogether,
 The Departments of Education will advise the trustees of the last rultng so that no controversies may arise as to road and jury duties

 Both Mayor Lyons and Mir. Hinckley were represented by counsel. The Mayor said that he had removed Mfr. Hinckley because he did not and could not perform his duty. He said the matter was not one of day, but that 1t had been under consideration for some time. He declared that the en- gineer had spent much of his time in gambling house.
 After much wrangling, Mir. Hinckley was allowed to teEtify in his own be- half. He said he had been on the night turn at the pumping station for seventeen months and that during much of that time he had been obliged to look after two places, He declared that he had written many letters call
 
 pumps. and also to the great waste of water by various large concerns in the city, but that there had been no notice taken of his letters.
 He was severely questioned by a number of the members of Council and held up well under the fire.
 Councilman Smith, previous to MT Hinckley's statement, had moved that the engineer be reinstated and that he be allowed back pay for the time he had been suspended. This motion ul- timately prevailed.
 By special permission, Alderman Craft was allowed to file an ordinance which calls for the abolishment of the Board of Public Works. This ordi- nance will be acted on at the next meeting of the City Council. It was presented in order that Council may have something to act on provided it's act of Monday last is declared to be Illegal.

SENSATIONAL BREAK
PRICE or COTTON FALLS OFF
 THIRTY POINTS.
Selling Was FFensled and Indiscrfml- nate, but Bulk of it Was Done by Speculation for am
 Advance.

New York. Aug. 20.--Exeiternent pre- vailed in the cotton market today throughout the session an almost and interrupted and rapid decline in prices being the cause. The fall was most pronounced in the October option. that having been the principal vehicle for the recent big speculation for the ad- vance, but the positions of other months suffered badly also even the spot article which had not been af- fected previously by the downward tendency of this week yielding very sharply at last today.
 The market opened with continua- tion of the selling movement of the previous day and 1t soon became the conviction of the floor that the Wall street spectators who had calculated for a rise for long time were liquida- ting. This encouraged selling and be- tween the two reinforced by the clos ing out of a multitude of small trad CTS prices melted away in double quick fashion.
 Closing last night at s.1s October soon was off s7 points to S.s1, a de- cline of $2 a bale from the recent high price.
 While this decline was in progress the engineers of the recent upward movement were estimated to have parted within nearly 75.000 bales and LhelF SeiAlnk was even IdSI6T ana more furious during the afternoon, bringing the total amount disposed of by them during the day 200, 900 bales more or less, according to the best estimates. About the only support the market received came from the covering of short contracts. but this influence 1 caused only weak rallies in prices. | From S.S1 at noon October eventually 1 reached 8.5s, but closed at s.70 show ing a net loss for the day of AS points or about $2.50 a bale. The near months August and September held up for a while. but at the end were dragged down considerably in sympathy
 The decline has been figured out variously in the street as meaning a loss of from S500,0 900 to $1,000. 900 for the pool. Jesse I. Livermore, the young operator In cotton who attained so much prominence in the course of the recent rise In the price of commodity, was the center of interest all day. but no statement could be obtained from him or any of his associates as to whether or not he sold out his hold inRs
