JUDGE STEWART
 lS SATISFIED Police Judge Says He Will Not Appeal Mandamus Case to the Supreme
 Court
WANTED LAW DEFINED
Turns Over Police Receipts to Collect. or Russeli-The Council May
 Act.

Alter being served with the wri, of mandamus which was issued Tues. day by Circuit Judge A. E. Grace al the instance of City Attorney W. B. Sorrells to compel him to turn over the receipts of the police department to City Collector A. G. Russell in con- pliance with the ordinance adopted hv the City Council, Judge J. R. Stewart announced that he would not anne,, the case to the Supreme Court. He says the ruling of the circuit court Is sufficent construction of the law for him and that he has not displayed any personal ties in the recent con troVersy between himself, Collector Russell and the City Council, Judge stewart declares that he felt that he could not comply with the orders of the Council. which by it's ordinance transferred the duties of collecting police receipts to the collector from the police judge, until he was conyinc- ed that he was acting legally and as matter of precauton and to project his bondsmen he desired the law de- fined.
 Judge Stewart paid several hundred dollars over to Collector Russell yes terday, after being served with the mandamus writ. The money repre- sented the receipts of the Police De- partment since the police judge decid- ed not to comply with the ordinance, torneys.
 Under the new ordinance City Col lector Russell receives 3 per cent commission for collecting police re- ceipts and turning them over to the city treasurer This is an entirely new custom. the chief of police and police judge having always collected the fines, penalties and forfeitures .,f the department without cOmpensation for the work.
 Mayor w. l.. Toney, displaying economy and to lessen the expenses of the city government, favors some arrangement whereby the city col lector shall receive about $1,5OO an- nually for his work. At present, with the commission from the police col lections, Collector Russell receives an annual salary and commission of about $2.50O The council may take take some action at it's meeting Mon- day night to save the city some of this money, it being the opinion that
 the collector is receiving entirely too much compensation for his work

BIG REVIVAL
Continues in the Seventh Day
Baptist Church at
Salem.

SALEM, Mar. The series Of re-
vival meetings at the Seventh Day
Baptist church are still in progress.
Over 175 people have been converted,
and before the meetings close the
number of conversions viii likely
reach two hundred and fifty. Never
before in Salem has there been such
a revival. The Rev. George I'm. tho
able pastor is to be credited with the
interest manifested in these meetings.
He is preacher of great ability and
holds the congregations spe1lbound
while delivering his sermons. Prayer
meetings have been held in pool
rooms and private residences and
much good has been thus done by the
members Of the congregation. People
have been turned away on account Of
the church being crowded even toTthe
steps.

ocean level is ten feet higher than

oceans on the two sides of the Istf-

only two feet. while on the Pacific

tide is just half way between high
tide and low tide. Therefore ON the
Pacific side high tide is ii 10 feet
higher than mean tide. on the At
lantic side high tide is just one foot
higher than mean tide. Mean tide
being the same on both sides, and
high tide being II 1-2 feet higher
than mean tide on the Pacific side
and only one foot higher than mean
