ed, was not legal. 1t was stated at
that time that the result of the eonven-
tion would doubtless be tested in the
courts. This will, it seems probable,
be done in the way Of injunction pro-
ceedings when the State Board of Elec-
tion Commissioners meets in May for
the purpose of appointing the various
county election boards throughout the
state.
The claim is made by those who take
the position that the election of the
new state boards was illegal, that the
old State Board of Election Commits
sioners appointed two years ago by
Gov. Patterson is still in the saddle.
1t is further claimed that should the
courts decide that the action OF the leg
islative convention was not legal, the
old board will continue in power until
their successors are appointed.
On the other hand, it is claimed that
should the courts decide that the legis-
lative convention was not legal, vacan-
cies would thereby be created in the
several offices of state election CON-
missioners, and the secretary of state,
state treasurer and state comptroller
would, under the provisions of the new
laws, be authorized to fill the vacancies
by appointment.-Nashville Banner.

JUDGE SNEED
RENDERS DECISION
EX-ATTORNEY GENERAL OUT
Prays Appeal, Which is Denied
Throws Case Into Supreme
Court-Legal Sensation.

Knoxville, March 13,-Judge j. w.
Sneed today rendered an opinion dis
barring Gen. George W, Pickle from
all practice in the state courts.
Judge Sneed instituted contempt pro-
ceedings against Gen. Pickle several
weeks ago as a result of card appear
ing in local paper over the name of
Gen. Pickle. The card was about the
fight to create new chancery division
for Knox county, which was opposed
by Judge Sneed.
Gen. Pickle intimated in the card
that certain lawyers who signed a peti-
ti0n averse to the new chancery division
did so under duTess by Judge Sneed, in
whose court they practiced. Judge
Sneed charged that Gen. Pickle was
guilty of contempt. The proceedings
were heard several weeks ago. The
chancery division bill passed, and on
Friday Gov. Patterson appointed Hu
l.. McClung chancellor over Judge
Sneed, who was a candidate. This
morning Sneed returned from Nash.
Vile, and his first and only official act
of the day was TO give his decision dis.
barring Gen. Pickle. The latter prayed
an appeal to the civil court of appeals,
which meets here soon, but it was de.
MED, and the appeal had to go to the
supreme court, which will not meet
here until September.
Gen. Pickle is a member Of the law
firm of Pickle, Turner & Kennedy, and
was for sixteen years attorney-genera
for Tennessee.

pacity. The judiciary committees of
the legislature will also be at rest, un-
less, perhaps, an ever chronic effort
should be made in two years to change
the Knox county court system.
The appointment of Hu L. McClung
to fill the new judicial seat recently
created by the legislature was an
nounced Friday by Gov. Patterson,
For two or three weeks the general
opinion has been that Mr.. McClung
would secure the ermine. However,
the continued talk of others operated
TO the disadvantage of Mr.. McClung's
chances, and there were some who be-
lieved to the last that one of these gen.
tlemen would pluck the plum Mr.. Nc
Clung had in view.
Mr.. McClung is one of the most
prominent members of the Knoxville
bar. He has been practitioner for
more than twenty five years, and is
now member of the popular firm Of

is a member of the state democratic

While on a visit to the Home, tn

While on visit to the Home, the
writer was very pleasantly entertained
by the governor, Col. John P. Smith,
to whom we are indebted for the fol-
lowing data:
There are forty-four buildings on
these grounds, not including the band
stand.
There are six barracks and one old
mems barracks. There are six build
ings in the hospital group, seven build
ings constituting officers quarters, and
two more to be built at once-a home
for the chief surgeon and home for
the chaplain.
Gov. Smith stated that the hospital
was the most modern and thoroughly
equipped in the whole country, and
had cost $354,OO0 without equipment;
the equipment alone costing $4,000.
The force consists of chief surgeon
and three assistant surgeons, besides a
corps Of trained nurses. The number
of sick now confined in the hospital is
161, while the number receiving treat
ment, including the confined ones, is
about 240. A
The death rate at this home is lower
per 1000 than at any home in the
country, being only 622. The follow
ing statistics taken from the govern
ment records, are for the close of the
last fiscal year:
Central branch, Dayton, Ohio, 74.4
the Northwestern branch, Milwaukee,
Wis, 9S.5; Eastern, at Togus, Maine,
S2.4; Southern, at Hampton, Va, 100
Western, at Leavenworth, Kan, $50
Marion, Ind, home, 1913; Danville, Ill.,,
home, 834; Battle Mountain Sanitari.
um at Hot Springs, s. D., 9l.9; Noun.
tain branch at johnson City, 56.4. The
general average is TIL.
The hospital is, as is also the whole
management, one of the most if not the
most economically managed of the
eight homes run by Uncle Sam.
One feature about this home is, thai
any member of another home desiring
to come TO this home can get free trans
portation, but no member at this home
can get free transportation to any othe
home.
This home is intended to be the las
home used, for as the ranks of the olt
soldiers are depleted by the "grin
reaper" the homes are to be turned
over to the war department to be uset
for army posts, and as this home is tn
. most modern, and the climate the mos
salubrious, the remaining member
will be transferred here.
Every barracks has its fine baths an,
lavratories, and each is provided witt
shower bath attachments. The VENT
lation to these buildings is perfect, an,
an even temperature is continual,
maintained.

 A Vicious Indian.
 Last Friday afternoon a drunken In dian stumbled into the yard of A. C. Mcdonald, where he created quite q disturbance for more than half an four. For time he threatened mis- chief, but through tact and good Judg ment on the part of the members of the household trouble was averted. Af- ter a deal of contriving he was finally persuaded to get into his wagon and pass on.
 Tt has been a saving that "the sa loon must go" Take courage, tenn perance leaders; it's just about gone when the white mans patronage has become so slim that the poor saloon keeper has to commit penitentiary of fense by selling firewater to an Indian in order to have any trade at all. And then after the city has wearied Of his nuisance an officer drives him out into the country, where he wanders about not only terrifying the lives of the farmers wives whose husbands are out in the alfalfa fields at work, and who do not enjoy the protection of a nearby officer.
 But then of course it does cost so much to take care of the whisky sub jects in town, so we really can't com plain.

.ood evening, senor."

Good evening, senor."
 This salutation delivered in an invit ing and musical voice from the prettier of two charmingly attired, bewitching Mexican girls Saturday evening to one of the Phoenix policemen, who, attired in civilian clothes, was sauntering down Third street, caused him to stop and converse with the senoritas, as to who they were and why they had spoken to him. He soon learned that the girls were out for a lark, that they had wandered from the path Of honor and were keeping house of Ill repute in an alley between Second and Third streets and Madison and Jackson. Making an appointment for q little later he phoned back to headquarters, and with the assistance of another night officer raided the place. A mot ley, half intoxicated throng of all col ors and nationalities was found rush ing the can" and carousing in general.
 The girls were arrested, placed on bail, and appearing yesterday afternoon in the police court pleaded not guilty, stating that it was the officer who had first accosted them and that they had treated the affair as a joke until the place was raided. That they had re- sided in this location for six months, taking in sewing and washing for living, and when in dire straits had called upon a brother for financial as sistance. The police judge, by means of an interpreter, gave the Mexican girls a sharp reprimand ind suspend ed their sentence on good behavior. For a time however, the situation of the officer who discovered their hOvel was made an embarrassing one by the cunning lies of the girls.
