On the Track Of a lioness.

The brush was SO th1ck tnat IL was
next to impossible to get through It.
and therefore. as It was clear around.
and there was no fear OF making a con-
ia ation, set fire to 1t as the best
apparent means Of ousting our game.
Telll0s Bob. my Kafir driver, to keep
close behind me. I went q little fur
ther round the cover and was Just in
time to see a lioness break away, but
30 far OF that did not fire, preferring
to let her go. in hopes of getting a
more favorable chance for a shot. By
this time the blaze had got SO powerful
that We. too. were glad to get away
from It.
The lioness made straight for an
other bit Of brush. whittier we went
after her, and. though the thorns were
quite thick enough, l decided to follow
her In. My boy did not relish accom-.
panying me, nor could l exactly blame
him; for, though a fair hunter and q
brave enough lad in ordinary. he did
not like lions. his father having been
killed and his brother badly mauled by
one. 1t was rather dificult keeping
her spoor. but after some trouble and
considerable wear and tear. I espied
her lying on bare spot, watching me
intently. Her head was resting be-
tween her paws and, as quickly as pos
sible, / fred between her eyes, and
could have sworn I planted the bullet
there. for she was not above thirty
PAGES from me. Turning to take my
spare carbine from Bob. found that
he had vanished. But the lioness never
stirred. and l was hurriedly reloading
when she suddenly jumped up and
dashed further into the thicket.
Unparliamentary language relieves
the feelings. II nothing more: SO. after
having mathematical poor Bob. I once
more plunged after the lioness. won
dering how our next meeting would
come on. There was plenty Of blood.
Just wire her head had lain. and also
enought TO guide me easily on the
tracks she had taken. Indeed. before
was aware Of II, I was almost on top

NEW SYSTEM FOR BUILDING
 STATE ROADS
Legislative Commit t e e Ready to Report Radical Changes in Law for High way Commissioner Mac donald-He Would Like to Receive $3,OOO,OO0 in Illmp Sum.
especial from United Press.)

especial from United PresS.)
 AHsTford, April 20.-The committee on Roads, Rivers and Bridges is about ready to report some radical amend 1nents to the law under which High way Commissioner Macdonald began two years ago the construction of a system of state roads at a, cost of $4,- 500 0OO., Commissioner. Macdonald made several recommendations to the conn mittee, one of which provides that the law be so arranged that instead Of limited to $750,0OO a year of the states money and being obliged to spend a month or six weeks every year going over the amounts with the various town authorities, he be given at once the $3 900 900 and spend it at his dis cretion thus making it possible to plan the whole system and work it out as a whole.
 The committee expects to report this as an amendment to the 1907 law It also expects to report another amend ment which will relieve the towns of all the burden trunk line system of fourteen main highways running, ten of them across the state from west to east and the other four from south to north. The 1907 law provides that of the $75O, 900 yearly appropriation one third may be used. in any given year on the trunk lines but makes the town'sSs share of it-one-eighth or one quarter, according to the towns grand list-a charge against the town. The original plan was to have system Of state roads paid for entirely by the state and this move goes back to it as far as the trunk roads are concerned.

WHY ROONEY GOES
 HOME EVERY NIGHT
To Supervise Theatrical Ed ucation of Eighteen Days Old "Patrick HI.'

When Pat Rooney gets through play ing every night at Polls theatre it is 10 minutes before 10 o'clock and at that hour there is a train leaving for New York and the nimb1e Patrick catches it. If he missed it he would hire an automobile to get to the metro polls. The reason for the nasty exit every night is Patrick the Third, who is IS days old this very day. His mama is best known to the theatrical world as Marion Bent, the petite dane CT and comedienne. Pat, the second, confessed this morning that he was up only twice with the youngster last night. Patrick the third is already kicking his feet against the foot of his cradle in buck dance and jig time. And his voice promises to be unusually clear.
 Many theatrical people have sent silver cups and other presents to the youngster.
 Percy F. Williams. the vaudeville manager, wired yesterday: Patrick, the third, and Irene F,ranklin's little girl booked for season of 1924
 "So you see," says the proud father, ''the only thing the youngster is sure of is work
 The Irene Franklin referred to is the comedian who made such a big hit here few weeks ago singing Red Head" Her daughter is about six months old.

WANTS FREE
 TRADE WITH
 PHILIPPINES

Special from United Press.1
 Washington.April 20-Declaring that the National honor of the United States was pledged to the purpose of eventually enabling the Philippines to establish an independent government. Senator Stone, Democrat. Missouri) to-day in. a speech in the Senate, op- posed the proposition in the pending tariff bill which limits the amount of sugar that may be brought into this country from the Philippines free of duty.
 He asserted that such a policy would result in the introduction of American capital into the islands and that, once established there. that influences would always be exerted towards maintain ing American sovereignty over the archepelago. Senator Stone proposed an amendment striking out the limits upon Philippine importatfons and sub stituting. absolute free trade between the islands and the United States. coupled with a declaration that at the end of fifteen years the Filipinos should be given their independence and that the United States should with draw from the archepelago.

WILLIAMS GETS
AN EVEN BREAK
HUNT SVILLE AND LYNNVlLLE
SCHOOLS CROSS BATS.-EACH
WIN ONE.

Special to The Herald.
LYNNVILLE, Tenn, March 22.-The
fast team of the Jones High School OF
this place broke even with the VIII
liams team of Huntsville, Ala. The
first game was played on Fridey at
Huntsville and was spectacular from
start to finish. The Lynnville team
succeeded in getting two men across
the plate in the fifth and everything
seemed doubtful for the fast Williams
bunch. In the latter part of the sixth
the Williams team succeeded in putting
one man across the rubber, and one
also in the seventh, making the score
stand two and two In the eight in
ming the Jones team tailed again
making the score 8 to in favor OF
Jones, but in the fatal ninth the Will
liams warriors came to the rescue and
commenced Using the stick and with
one man on third and one on second
a Williams man succeeded in getting
a single, bringing both men in and
making the score 4 to 3 in favor Of
Williams.
The second game was an entirely
different tale and the tables were
turned, being an entire victory for
the Lynnville team, the score be-
ing 5 to 0 in favor of Jones. The
Jones team is in good form and they
are going to show other teams in the
association that they are still in the
game.

CITY OF COLUMBIA
CAN NOW COMPEL
SIDEWALKS BUILT
BOARD or MAYOR AND ALDERMEN
PASS ORDINANCE WITHOUT A
DISSENTING VOTE.
BECOMES EFFECTIVE At ONCE
Property Owners Must Pay Two-Thirds
ceft of Construction And City One
Third-other Provisions Of The
Law.

Columbia has a compulsory side
walk law
This much-needed ordinance was
uassed last night at a special meet
ing of the Mayor and Board Of Alder
men, at which all the city fathers
were present and voting aye except
Aldermen Dedman and Swansburg.
II was Immediately approved by May
or Biddle and became effective at
once.
Under the provisions of the ordi-
nance when in the judgment of the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen the
necessity arises for the repair or con-
struction of a sidewalk in any given
part Of the city a resolution authoriz-
ing same shall be passed by the Board.
Written notice upon the property
owner of his agent shall be served by
the city marshal In case of nom
residents notice shall be given by pub
LEGATION in a local paper.
Thirty days time is allowed the
owner to repair or construct the side
walk after notice is given. Refusal
to comply with the orders of the
Board is punishable by fine of from
s. to S25 every thirty days. In the
event that the .owner does not build
the sidewalk the city is authorized
to do so and to retain lein upon the
property for two-thirds of the cost.
After the sidewalk is constructed
the property owner shall file an af-
fdavit of costs with the recorder.
The cl., shall then refund to the prop
erty owner one-third of the amount
paid out for construction. This inn
poses two-thirds of the cost upon the
owner and one-third upon the city.
A Sidewalk committee, to consist
of three aldermen, is authorized by
the ordinance. This committee shall
have full authority to act and shall
determine when the construction or
repair of any given sidewalk is neces-
sary.
The practical effect of the law is
that the city will be in position to COM
pei the building and repairing of side
walks at the option of the Sidewalk
committee, and Columbia can proceed
to legally enforce the construction OF
a sidewalk system that will be a
credit to the city.

WHAT HAS BECOME
OF THE PROPOSED
PACKING HOUSE?
A PERTINENT QUERY REGARDING
MUcH-NEEDED COLUMBIA
ENTERPRISE.
The LOCATION IS UEEXCELLED
maury Hogs unjustly Disseminated
Against in Foreign Markets.-The
Price is Scaled.-should be Packed
Here.

What has become of the packing
house proposition?
4 Some weeks ago some of the most
progressive farmers of the county and
moneyed men of Columbia took up
the matter of building a packing
house in Columbia for the purpose of
baconing the Maury county swine and
butchering the cattle and putting
them in cold storage and selling to the
Columbia trade and the nearby towns.
This is a very much needed enter
prise in Columbia and should not be
allowed to die out. Last year a gov
eminent expert made a report on the
establishing of a cold storage and
packing house plant here and pro-
nounced in the best locality he had
seen anywhere in the South. The
location picked out by the expert was
near the Columbia Ice Cos. plant at
White Springs This place was pro
nounced ideal from the fact that the
water is pure and there is a sewer
leading to the river below the town
with a natural fall of Is to 20 feet.
At the time of this report a few
parties who were interested took some
pains to go little further into the
matter and upon investigation found
that $4,000 would put up all necessary
buildings and furnish the equipment
for the slaughtering of several hun
dred hogs per day and packing them
ready for the market A company
with a capital stock of $4,000 to $780,
900 would be sufficiently large to
handle all the business of this section
and more besides.
The hogs that are now shipped from
this section are being classed by the
Louisville and ST. Louis packers as
mass fed, killing soft and oily and
scaling the price from one to three
cents on the pound. This is an I'M
necessary and undeserved black eye
that is being given Maury county
hogs The people should wake up to
the occasion and overcome this diff
Guilty. Maury county ships thousands
and thousands of hogs from here each
year.
