Is Basis of All Troubles.

"I hardly think there Is man in Bir- mingham who will not condemn the fee system" said, George MeCleary, manager of the Kress stores. when seen last night we all know that we are being robbed every day, and the merchants of Bir- mingham will welcome any move to do away with 1t.
 Tt lies at the basis of all the troubles to which the unfortunate prisoner and witness is put at the courthouse. Be- sides actual cash paid out to the officers in s25,0O0 punches. it causes delay of justice which is shameful.
 'In Pennsylvania, where hail from, the fee system was abolished long be- fore I can remember. The salary of my home sheriff was about one-third of what Jeffersons receives. while the population was nearly one-third larger.
 Tn fact, find the court systems differ so much that 1t seems there is room for reform all around"

 rule special circumstances and authoriza- ton are needful.
 In the case of In re Kelly Dry Goods company, supra, cited with approval by Judge Seaman as circuit judge. the court says:
 ''It is the well-recognized rule in equity that the receiver shall engage counsel who stands independent of the parties to the litigation (Beach, Rec, sec. 262), and the estate is not chargeable for services which may be given to the receiver by tEe attorney for either party during the con- tnuanc5 of such relation. So, in the case at bar. unless the service for which the charges was allowed was both necessary and independent in the sense of the rule referred to, 1t Is not allowable as an ex- pense of the receivership. The purpose of the appointment of receiver in bank ruptcy is one of mere temporary cus- tody, and the duties are generally of the utmost simplicity. If complications arise in which the parties before the court have opposing interests, he should not take counsel of either: and, If unNer any circumstances the attorney of either party is engaged by, him, there must at least be | complete severance of all service and duty | to the litigant party Otherwise any ser vice rendered must be deemed either gratu- | itous or in the interset of the original | client Here the attorneys for whom the | charge is made appear both of record and fin fact for the petitioning creditors before and after the receivership, are on | the petition for an adjudication in bank | ruptcy, on the application for receivari and subsequently, appear for the creditors at the meetings held during the continu- ance and after the close of the receiver | ship Under such conditions. any service rendered must be referable to their en- ! gagement for their clients, and, if charge 1 able to the estate for any amount arc in that relation only. and upon special or | der of the court"

Washington, May 22-Word reached the state department today from Hon. duras of the acquittal before the ap- pellate court of Eugene O. Griffith and Mrs. Caroline Beauchamp, who had been sentenced to 25 years inn prisonment on a charge of arson by the lower court.

Fl Paso, Tex, May 22.-The Rio Grande river at this point is the high est in the history of the city. No damage yet has resulted. The river now threatens to cut through the Fair Grounds park and divide an irrigation ditch. This would either change its course through the valley or empty the water in the ditch. In the latter event farmers would suffer severely as their crops would receive no mois- ture. Gangs of men will probably be put to work yaising the banks of the irrigation ,dijch.

PUT THE SALARIES ON SLIDING SCALE. Judge Gaston Points Out Fee
 System Iniquities OTHERS TALK IN LIKE VEIN Salaries Should Be Limited and Fees Above Certain Amount Should
 Be Turned Into County
 Treasury.
OTHERS TALK IN LIKE VEIN

q have always been and am now unai- terably opposed to the fee system as it now operates in Jefferson county" said Judge Zell Gaston yesterday. T favor its abolition and believe the fee system should be done away with at the earliest possible time.
 "The remedy that strikes me most forcibly is that of putting all county of ficefs on salaries, based on sliding scale. believe that this plan would op- crate most satisfactorily if it were worked out in the proper manner.
 Tt has been submitted that if the of- ficers were placed on straight salary unsatisfactory service would be the re- suit. This would very likely prove to be true. but the difficulty can be very easily avoided by fixing the salaries and com missions of officers according to the value of taxable property in the county.
 "In other words, the salary of every officer should be limited to certain amount. Then the fees or commissions should be lowered to a reasonable figure. The officer should be paid his commits sions until he has made the full amount of his fixed salary, and all money in ex- cess of this fixed salary should be paid into the county treasury.
 By this plan of grading fees and sal aries the excellence of service on the part of county officers would be maintained, and by fixing the compensation of the of- fees at a certain maximum figure the iniquity of the present fee system would be obliterated. This plan Is no doubt a practicable one, is one which will prove satisfactory if carefully worked out, and have no doubt that were such 0 plan put in operation 1t would give the relief which has been sought so long"

statement this morning:

any credit for riding the horse, as he
hobbled both stirrups and hung on
with both hands for dear life and pull

ing him from jumping
When l got on the horse 1 sat free
and furthermore brought the animal
into town and made a gentle saddle
horse out of him. l can find $500 back

ginally outlined by me and which
should be acceptable to anyone who
calls himself a rider. Any forfeit

OFFICER
In Madison County May Dis
continue This Office as
Being Unnecessary.
WAYNE COUNTY NEEDS ONE

Because of the official records that
are made, it is probable Madison
county will abandon its probation Of
ficer in the juvenile court. 1t is charg-
ed that often childish prank on the
part of a youngster is reported against
him. He is taken into court and rec
ord made of his probation. 1t is claim
ed this will work an injury to the
child's reputation in after life
Madison county might do we'll to fol-
low the lead of Wayne in this respect
Children are referred to the juvenile
court of Judge Fox, but if they are
not found to be serious offenders they
are lectured and no record made. If
prospects are that the child eventually
will go to reform school, his name
is placed on the books.

Real Estate Men Assert the
Demand for Such Build
ings Is Very Great.
LARGE HOUSE IDEA GONE
MODERN COTTAGES IN RICH
MOND FITTED MoDERNLY, CAN
NOT BE SECURED FOR LESS
THAN $50 PER MONTH.

Small cottages of the unique pat.
tern or bungalow stlye are very much
in demand at the present time. Lo-
cal real estate dealers say they are
far from able to comply with the re-
quests for residence properties of this
style. OF course all of these cottages
must be fitted up with modern con-
veniences. They must have electric
lights, bath room, other conveniences,
especially wide coy verandas. With
out these they would be dregs on the
market
The days OF the large bunglesome
house for small families are number
ed. They are passing so rapidly that
the public prefers to abandon them
and live in flats to continuing resi-
dence in such structures. For the larg-
err families, however, these houses will
continue to remain in demand. A few
small families occupy such places.
This plan is one that tends to bring in
revenue that decreases the real cost
or rental to the occupant

than about $50 per month, according
to J. Ed Moore, a local dealer in real
estate. There is growing demand
for such places of abode and the man
who owns several lots and wishes a
quick return for his money could make
no better investment. At the present
time the most offers are to pay $12 or
SIS per month for such properties.
The realty men say this is out of the
question and if people want this style
of house they will have to pay for it.
1t is expected that number of
houses of this type will be built the
coming spring. With the increase in
the number of small families has come
the call that will have to be answered.
The cottage affords a neat. coy place
of living and one that the renter ap-
preciates.

Real Estate Is on the Boom in
Richmond and People Are
Moving to the City.
RESIDENCE COST IS SMALL
CONVENIENT HOMES CAN BE
ERECTED At NOMINAL COST
AND HOUSES CAN BE RENTED
At REASONABLE FIGURES.

What is needed in this city more
than anything else is a number OF
residence properties that will prove
convenient, have many of the modern
improvements and at the same time
demand a rental of only about $40 or
So per MONTH" said Theodore Wood
hurst, one of the leading real estate
dealers of the city yesterday. Mr.
Woodhurst went on to say that just at
present real estate has taken a boom
in this city. More people have moved
in and more contemplate coming. Ev
cry day, local real estate dealers re-
ceive letters from outside the city ask
ing as to houses to rent here.
Richmond to Be Center.
Indications now are that there will
be more people come to Richmond this
spring than have at any season for
many years in the past. The local
factories have shown their stability.
The managed to run through the re-
cent financial difficulties with but a
brief shut down or in some instances
none at all This fact counts strong
with the laboring men and they seek
for their home a city which offers
such conditions in it's factories. Sew
eral of the local manufacturing con-
Germs contemplate additions to their
forces this spring and this will mean
additional families in the city. These
will have to have homes and at pres
ent the real estate men say there
would be trouble in accommodating
them.
Small Homes Cheap.
A small residence of six rooms can
be. erected at only nominal cost.
Such a house will rent for $12 per
month and need never be vacant. 1t
is the kind of house that is needed and
must be provided if the property own
ers wish to meet the demand and at
the same time help toward the growth
ofthe city. Real estate in Richmond
is regarded as splendid investment.
