FEDERAL COURT HAS
NO JURISDICTION IN
THE CHURCH CASES
RULES JUDGE SANFORD IN DE-
GLIDING FOR CHATTANOOGA
LOYALISTs.
A LENGTHY OPINION
Court Holds That The Required "Di-
Versity Of Citizenship" is Lacking
in This case-ProbabIy Means Set
Element of Question in the state.

| CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. TO-
Chattanooga loyalists in the Cumber
land Presbyterian controversy over
possession of the Oak street church
property have won victory in the
decision of Judge E. T. Sanford, rem
dered Saturday at Knoxville, and filed
in the federal court Monday. Judge
E. T. Sanford ruled that the federal
court has no jurisdiction, since there
is not the required diversity of citi-
zenship" among the parties of the
suit. The result is to place in undis-
puted possession of Finlay Seagle and
other loyalists of this city the Oak
street church property, as the supreme
court of Tennessee has already decid-
ed that the old property belongs TO
the loyalists, and now the federal
court, as represented by Judge San
ford, declares it has no jurisdiction.
The particular litigation in the pres
ent instance was instituted by w. r.
Stevens, Leonard Morrison and w. J.
Finlay, the two former bringing a suit
in April against j. P. Smart and 9th
er unionists, and Mr.. Finlay filing his
complaint against Taylor Williams ct

same. They asked for an injunction
against j. P. Smart of James. Foster
V. Brown, Taylor Williams and others
to prevent them from turning over
the property in question to Mr.. Seagle
and other loyalists, alleging that this
was about to be done without the
proper opposition.
The case was taken under advise
ment by Judge Sanford in May and
decided Saturday. His opinion is very
elaborate, covering twenty typewrit- I
ten pages. He holds in effect after !
going into the questions involved very |
that the federal court has |
no jurisdiction in the case. The de- ,
cision is regarded as practically set
Ting the matter for good in the light
If the decision already reached by theI
state court The supreme courts
holding that the loyalists faction is en-
titled to all the Cumberland church
is considered as being re-
'ponsible for the fact that efforts were
made to get the controversy in the
ederal court. Local loyalists appear
o be jubilant over the decision, and
ay it will probably end the matter. y

Special to The Herald.

PULASKI, Tenn, Aug 9.-Hon. 2
W. Ewing, former speaker of the Sen.
ate of Tennessee, a friend of educa-
! ton, and one of the best known men
of the entire state died at his home
here at noon today from pneumonia.
He had been i'll for two or three
weeks and his death was not unex-
pected Funeral arrangements have
not been completed. He is survived
by his second wife, and two daughters,
Miss Rebecca Ewing of this place and
Mrs. Frank F. Everett of Columbia.
Maj. Ewing was born in Marshall
county and begun his active career as
a school teacher. When the war
broke out he was among the first to
go to the front, and served with credit
throughout the four years of strife,
rising to the rank Of mtjor. He
was one of the six hundred Confed-
crate prisoners placed in front of
the Federal line at Charleston to pre-
vent an attack from the Confederates.
He was a member of the, Seventh Reg
iment which was commanded by Cow
Marks After the war Maj Ewing
went to Europe, and later was elected
to the Senate of Tennessee. This
was signal honor as he was not
candidate. He served two terms in

his death was one of the trustees o.
the University of Tennessee and presi
dent of the board of trustees of the
Pulaski Training School. Until about
two or three years ago he was presi
dent Of the Peoples Bank of Pulaski
but resigned on account of failing
health. At the time of his death Maj
Ewing was sixty-six years of age.
Established a Precedent.
1t was during the time he was
speaker of the Senate that Mt. Ewing
established a precedent that since has
become custom all over the United
States and that was the ordering Of
the Senate to count those members Of
the Senate present who had failed to
answer to their names in order that
there be quorum. Later this same
method of counting a quorum was
used by Gear Reed in the House OF
Representatives, and when the Demo
cratic members rose up and objected
and when they questioned
the right the speaker had to exer-
else such authority they were in
formed by Mr.. Reed that his preced-
ent was that OF good sound demo
crat and that was the Honorable q. w.
w. Ewing of Tennessee, who had pur.
sued the same course in odrer that he
might have a quorum present In the
Senate of the legislature of Tonnes

them. But be-. that as it may, ne
knocked the black out with his guess.

SURPRISED AT
BILL OF COSTS
ISOM TOOK FRENCH LEAVE AND
WAS TAXED FOR TWO
ARRESTS.

Isom Lochridge appeared in the
City Court Monday morning, but as
Judge Erwin did not get there quite
as early as Isom, the latter was too
busy to wait and left to return this
morning. When he submitted to a
charge of disorderly conduct, he was
surprised that in the cost bill, he was
charged with two arrests instead of
one, and his total account was 1920.
He was turned over to City Marshall
Morgan and will work off his fine.

ARTS AND CRAFT
OF The INDIAN
WEAVING AND DECORATION OF
BASKETS FROM FIBREs

Special to The Herald.

SEATTLE, Aug. 1O.-The highes
developed of the different arts and
crafts Of the Northwest Indian, il
found in the weaving and decoration
of the many varieties of baskets and
articles made from fibres and banks.
Among the Indians Of Thlingit and
Haida. Alaska, the art of basket mak.
ing is brought to as high a state OF
perfection as is found among any
semi-ciYilized people. In their pro-
duction the root of the young spruce
and cedar bark are the materials gen.
orally employed. The braid used in
many of the baskets produced is ex.
ceptionally fine, and the decorations
of colored strands are often wrought
into fanciful and really beautiful pat.
terms. Decorative designs are always
made along geometrical patterns in
basket work, and seem particularly
appropriate for the purpose.
In a collection of this work appear.

ton of Indian braided work is dis
played The basket is even at the
present day used for many practical
purposes among the Northern Indians,
and specimens appearing in the col
lection have been made and used for
carrying and storing water ana va
rious liquids, while another variety is
used for cooking food and heating wa
ter. They are naturally or very close
weave, and serve well the purpose for
which they are intended. Other speci-
men of purely ornamental nature
are as finely braided as the ordinary
panama hat, and with their intricate
and highly coloTed borders are decid-
eddy handsome and attractive.
