Secretary Ballinger has approved
tentative plan for the settlement OF
claims outstanding against the recla-
nation fund for work done under the
cooperative agreements, whereby
such certificates as do not show on
their face that they have been as

that the holder performed the SER
vice or paid someone else to perform
it for him, payments OH the project
to be made by check drawn by the
local fiscal age..t.
The method to be followed in
making such such settlements con-
templates the surrender of certificates
by the water users association and
all parties who have certificates or
claims on account of work done or
materials furnished, or the filing OF
claims for the work where certificates
have not been issued.
Upon the receipt of such certifi-

tail of work done or material turn-

J. w. Crawford, executor of the estate of the late Major W. H. Davis. of Altheimer, will pay into the State treasury $550 as the tax on that estate.
 This amount represents the tax on only a small part of the Davis estate as the law of 1903 is the on applica- ble to this estate. Major Davis having died before the law was amended in 1907 and 1909 This is the full amount demanded by the state as a tax on 'egacies of hospital and charitie-. many of the decendants and heirs having been exempted by the act of 1903.

IN A JUSTICE COURT
John Wilson, Former Policeman, is Fined for Assault and Battery
 by Cheek.

John Wilson, a former negro police. man. was adjudged guilty of assault and battery in Magistrate l.. E. Cheek's court yesterday morning and fined $tO and costs. He was arrested at the in sta4ce of Superintendent F. A. Peck. of the Cotton Belt Railroad. and was nsecuted by Richard Terry, negro porter in the employ of the Cotton Belt Terry exhibited three ugly cavities in his mouth to prove his statement that Wilson knocked out three teeth. when the former patrl- man assaulted him while he was pe.- forming his duties as train porter at Union Station in this city the night of August 1. Wilson, who was de-. tended by former State Senator H. K. Toney, was not placed on the stand in his own behalf nor were any wit nesses offered in an effort to clearhim . Senator Toney stated in view of the fact that a $l,00O damage suit has been filed in the Jefferson circuit court by Terry against Wilson. for the loss of his teeth and because of the
 
 assault and battery, he could not '.show his hand" in the Justice court.
 Several negro train porters testified in the case and other eye witnesses. Their testimony was damaging to Wilson and tended to show that Will son had assaulted the negro without provocation. After knocking Terry into insensibilty the porter fell under his train and to prevent the train from passing over the apparently life- less form, Wilson, who had knocked him there, pulled his body from urJer luC WHCClS- IciI Sdlu ue ulu uOL display authority when Wilson tried to enter his car, because he said he always heard of Wilson and was afraid of him.

 Here, the authority of the Police Judge to collect the fines and penaii- ties assessed ill his court, although not conferred in expressed terms, is very clearly implied. and. in the ab- sence of any other legislation on the subject must, under familiar rules of construction be held are be exclus- i've.
 But the same act of the Legislature (kirby's Digest, Section 5462) pro- vides that "by laws and ordinances of municipal corporations may be en- forced by the imposition of fine, for feitures and penalties or any person offending against or violating such by Id Oi Olulu dHNt, OI ally LII lLclll . and the fine, penalty or forfeitures may be prescribed in each particular by-law or ordinance made for that purpose: and municipal corporations shall have power to provide in like manner for the prosecution, recovery and collection of such fines. penalties and forfeitures."
 The two sections of the statutes herein before quoted are the only ones bearing directly upon the quest ion at issue. Construing both to- gether, so that all parts of each may be given effect according to Legis- lative intent conclude:

} CITY COLLECTOR
odds That City Council Has Author ity to Transfer Duties-LaW
 is Conflicting.

Judge A. B. Grace, at the instance
 City Attorney w. B. Sorrells, yes krday issued writ of mandamus re- hiring Police Judge J. R. Stewart to urn over the fines, penalties and brfeitures of the city police court to ity Collector A. c. Russell in com liance with an ordinance adopted by he City Council several weeks ago. ,he case may be appealed to the |upreme court by Attorneys White and Alexander, upon whose advice Police fudge Stewart declined to comply with he orders of the Council. No injunc- ion was asked for in the original betition to compel Judge Stewart to fontinue to turn over the receipts bf the Police Department for that official will in all probability not :e- sist the orders of the circuit court (n the matter of turning over police receipts.
 Judge Grace, in his ruling. holds that while the Police Judge has the bower to collect and turn over the the fines of his court, the Legislature in expressed terms, has granted the council the power to transfer the duties to another officer, and the Council having exercised this power, grants the mandamus.
 Judge Grace's decision follows:
 The issue presented in this case is :: Has the City Council authority to pass an ordinance providing for the collection of fines assessed in the court by any officer ether than the Police Judge.
 Counsel are agreed that if the Legis- lative act, regulating municipal cor porations (which in this state takes tue place of a special charter for each, imposes upon the police judge the duty of collecting fines impose I Ill thls court, then the City Council would have no power to transfer this outy to some other person unless ex- pfessly authorized to do so by Lasis- latlve enactment.
