Meridian, Miss, April 20-(Special)- Fewell & Bozeman, representing the Ala bama and Vicksburg Railroad company, straining H. D. Ellis and Mrs. H. D. Ellis, and their attorneys, Bourdeaux x Venable, from prosecuting their suits for damages alleged to have been sustained by complainants being ejected from train on the Fort Worth and Denver City railroad because of the possibility of a multiplicity of suits growing out of the one mentioned.
 Some time ago suit were filed by the Fllises alleging that the defendants called for tickets for themselves and family to some point in Oklahoma and they asked that they be routed over the Fort Worth and Denver road: that they made the trip all right until they had left Fort Worth over the Fort Worth and Denver road and that after leaving Fort Worth. and being about seven miles distant they were elected from the train by the con- ductor, who told them that the tickets were not good for passage over that road and that they were compelled to get off were put to great inconvenience and ex- pense.
 In the application for the injunction it is alleged that the attorneys for the rail road have learned, in addition to the suit of the Ellises, husband and wife for $10.000 each, that 1t was their fnten- ton to file eight more suits, there being eight children.

HOLLINGSWORTH IS
 DENIED VERDICT
FAMOUS ENSLEY CASE IS RE- VERSED BY SUPREME COURT AND SEWER CONTRACT IS DE- CLARED VOID.

Montgomery, April 20.-(Special.)-l the case of the city of Ensley vs Hollings- worth. the supreme court denies -Hollings- worth a verdict for $1543 on a sewer con- tract, Hollingsworth being a member of the council of Ensley. It is alleged that he was allowed more than other bidders and even presented charges over his own price which the lower court allowed
 The supreme court reverses the decision of the lower court, declaring the con- tract void inasmuch as it represents a conflict between the duty of public of icer toward the people and his own per- sonal interests In other words, such a. contract Is not allowed by public policy
 Thus an infringement of public policy Is declared, when a public officer allows his personal desires and his duty to the public to conflict, and it was held that a con- tract made under such circumstances to the benefit of the public officer should be held void.
 Hollingsworth, of the firm of J. E. Hol- llngsworth 8s Company. was member of the City Council of Ensley. When the city undertook to lay storm sewers Hol- lingsworth the councilman, was bidder. It was stated in a subsequent complaint that his bid of $23, ,945 52 was higher than that of three others, but that not withstanding he was granted the contract. The contract was let by a vote of the council of the city.
 The city after payment sued for the overcharge. Hollingsworth in counter suit in the Jefferson circuit court was awarded the judgment and the City Coun- cl and mayor of Ensley appealed.

 Therefore, be it resolved by the citi- zens in mass meeting assembled;
 T. That 1t is unfair. undemocratie and contrary to all sense of right for the leaders of the Greater Birmingham move ment to attempt to arbitrarily annex Fins ley.
 ''2. That it is of infinitely greater im- portance that the material welfare Of 2c,00O people of Ensley be considered' rather than the boast of 100000 population for the city of Birmingham in the next federal census.
 8. That to become a part of Greater Birmingham will increase the burden Of taxation, by reason of the fact that section 216 of the constitution of the state of Alabama declares that one-half or all real and personal tax shall be set aside as a sinking fund to meet the principle and interest of bonds issued prior to the year 1901. thus taking from Ensley s2O,- GOO per annum. which Is now being ap- piled to our own needs.
 "4. That we appeal to the Jefferson county delegation and to the senate and to the house of representatives Of Ala bama as a whole to protect us, and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to each member thereof.
 '5. That we request our governor, his excellency B. B. Conner. to use his in- fuence in saving the integrity of Ensley, and
 Be it further resolved: That we very earnestly appeal to the press of the great state of Alabama to aid and lend their great influence in assisting the people of the city of Ensley from being made by law part of the city of Birmingham over their protest, when their own Interests and the city's welfare are being jeopardized by the agitation of such an annexation.

COST OF DRAINAGE NOT BIG
Not wheR Compared with Beneat In
vslved in Increase of
Land Values.

County Engineer Herman Besl is very
much encouraged by the start that was
made by the county board Tuesday morn
ing toward the formation Of a drainage
district in western Douglas county, with a
part Of ssrpy taken in.
The cost Of digging the bitches will not
be the big end Of the undertaking said
Mr.. Beal. Where we cut through a mans
land to s%traighten out some Of the many
and devious bends in the Elkhorn will in
volve the payment OF damages. But when
we consider that about $1,000 acres Of
Douglas county land are Involved in the
proposed scheme. much of which will be
practically doubled in value. the great
need and utility pf drainage according
to the plan proposed will at once appear.
Nearly half Of this land for the last
three years has been entirely lost foe
crop production, and the balance has only
produced partial crops. Now, IL this plan
goes through at the election to be held by
property owners in the county clerks
office here on March ?. my idea is TO lay
out a plan to drain intimately every
quarter section. eighty ana fory, in tie
drainage district boundries. and then work
to the conclusion OF that plan as rapidly
as possible"
The only thing that can stand in the way
Of success for the plan agreed on Tuesday
morning for the property owners to vote
against forming the district when they
meet in Omaha at the date set. favorable
vote at that time will mean also this selec-
ton OF three trustees, who will at once
proceed to organize the district and begin
the work. Court decisions have practically
settled all the points in the law that were
at first considered doubtful. Unit the trus-
tees get to work no TINA of the prob
able cost can be made.
