Teachers Will Get Money.

Frankfort, KY, May School
teachers in Kentucky will not have to
wait so long for their salaries as
they had expected and will get their
checks for the last two months of
the present term in the first week
of June If not on June /. 1t was
thought, some weeks ago, that the
teachers could not be paid before the
last of June, but Capt Ed Farley,
State Treasurer, finds that he will
have on hand, by the first week in
June, enough money to pay all the
teachers and he so announced today
This will be good news to the school
teachers of the State who had expect
ed to wait until the last OF June 10
get their money. The amount due is
$500, 900. Capt. Farley said that there
is money enough in the treasury now
to pay the school teachers, but it does
not all belong to the school fund. 1t
must be divided between the vari-
Gus funts, and after the division the
school fund would not have enough
to meet the claims.

Five Get Prison Terms In Muh.

Greenville, KY, May 6.-The reg
ular April term OF the Muhlenberg
circuit court adjourned here yester-
day after having disposed OF a NUM-
Der of cases. However. there were
but few suits Of more than passing
interest disposed Of, although there
were several on the dockt.
Five men were sentenced to terms
In the Eddyyille pnitntiary as fol-
lows: Elisha Reynolds, on a charge
Of murder, eight years; Ben Rosson,
murder, five years; James Tinsley,
malicious, shooting, six years; Ray
mond Acron, malicious cutting, one
year, and Sandy Kirtley, housebreak-
ing. one year.
Ben Rosson was convicted at the
last term and appealed his case to
the Court of Appeals. but had his
appeal dismissed. The case of Jas.
Tinsley Is perhaps one Of the most
striking examples OF the speedy exc
cution of the law which has occur
red in this county for some time. He
committed the offense CT malicious
shooting on April %, while the court
was in session. Judge Sandiidge had
him indicted and tried at the present
term and he was given six years un-
der the statute allowing the double
penalty upon second conviction.

ENGLAND. MOURNS
KINGS Demise.
His Death Follows Acute Illness
That Had Been
Withheld.

King Edward VII who returned to
England from a vacation ten days
ago in the best of health, died at
HAS O'Clock last Friday in the pres
ence of his family; after an illness
OF less than week, which was seri-
Gus hardly mere than three days.
The Prince of Wales succeeded to
the crown Immediately, according to
the laws CT the kingdom, without Of
fetal ceremony. His fiIst official act
was to dispatch the lord mayor the
announcement OF his fathers death
In pursuance of custom.
Pneumonia, following bronchitis
Is believed to have been the cause OF
death, but the physicians thus far
have refused to make statemen.
Some OF the kings friends are con-
WINGED that worry over the critical
political situation whcih confronted
him with sleepless nights. aggravated
IL it did not cause the fatal illness.
The intelligence that the end OF
King Edwards reign had come was
not surprise at the last. The
capital received it without excitement
but sadly for the king with his own
people was unquestionably ore OF
the most popular rulers in the world
They regarded him as one of the
strongest forces making for the
stability of the peace of the empire.
All who know the king expected
that his daeth would be sudden, and
1t would not have occasioned great
surprise If it had occurred without
warning at some social function as a
result Of heart trouble Almost to
the end he refused to take to his
bed.
One of the last utterances attri-
buted to King Edward was: We'll, II
Is all over, but l htink l have done
my duty" He semeed to have reach
ed full realization that his death
was approaching.

footlights This time ia a different
role, and instead of being the ag-
gressor in a big damage suit, he Is
made the defendant in a divorce suit
filed by his wife, Jessie 7. Barnett,
Saturday afternoon.
Barnett first made his deput in the
Owensboro courts by filing a $4,000
damage suit against |. r. Morgan and
Mrs. Fannie Morgan, claiming that
thew had won their daughters affec-
tons from him, and that his feelings
had been so injured that they ought
to hand over a few thousand dol
lars. Barnett remained around the
city until he found that there was
no chance to get the $25. 900, and
finally consented that he would dis
miss the suit for a consideration OF
$50. In order 70 get Jack out OF
town, the Morgans paid him the
$3.50, ard he left last Tuesday for
Cleveland, o., to visit relatives be-
fore returning to San Francisco.
In her suit for divorce. Mrs. Bra
nett says that she and Jack BAaetG
were married in Owensboro, October
10. 1909, and lived together only two
weeks; that he then abandoned her,
and treated her in such cruel and
inhuman manner as 10 indicate u
settled aversion to her, and that ne
exhibited toward her such an ouTag-
eous and ungovernable temper as
would probably eneaneer her life or
subject her to great bodily harm by
living with him. She charges that
Barnett procured her marriage w1th
him by false representations, and by
assuring her that he was able TO pro-
vide for her, which he knew was I'M
true. Mrs. Barrett also charges that
her husband was idle, indolent, thrift
Jess and worthless. She says that
before her marriage, and on the DAY
they were married, Barrett repre-
sented to her that he was engaged
in a profitable busiress in Calitor-
MIA. which statement she relied on
but that IL was untrue. She further
saws that after their marriage, Bar
nett returned to California and wrote
for her to come to him, and did rot
send her any mcley 10 secure Iail-
road ticket, ard although he had
m!streated her in a cruel manner.
she was yet willing to return to
him, and SO wrote him. but she new
en- received any reply ito her letter.
She saws that Barnett recently came
back to Ownesboro, ard wanfed her
to accompany him to San Frarclsco'
but provided no means for tickets,
and spent his time in importuning
ard threatening her that If she did
not obtain money from her father or
mother or kins people 10 support
him that he would rot support her,
and that he would permanently aban-
don her and do what he could To
destroy her coed name. She asks
that the court grant to her divorce,

Mr.. PEARSE TO
FILE A BRIEF
IN COAL CASE
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Trenton, June At will likely be
several days before Judge Rellstab will
announce a decision in the United
States Circuit Court in the suit brought
by the Snsquehanna Coal Company
against the Mayor and the Council Of
Perth Amboy and Collector of Taxes
Alfred T. Kerr of that City. Following
the argument before the court Thurs.
day Judge Relstab gave Frederick M
r. Pearse, counsel for South Amboy
leave to file brief. This counsel had
not had time to prepare, but 1t Is ex-
pected it will be filed with the court
soon. Then Judge Rellstab will take
the whole case under advisement and
will announce his decision after giving
1t due consideration
Besides involving the right Of Perth
Amboy to collect taxes of more than
$4,000 for three years ON coal stored
there by the coal company, the suit
to have the taxes set aside takes in the
question of how the matter will af-
feet the state decisions on a similar
proposition. The state courts in q
number Of cases have held that coal
stored just as that at South Amboy is
kept, is subject to taxation in the mu-
nicipality in which 1t is located May
20, the taxing day, except when it is
actually In transit
1t is probably on that account that
counsel for the Susquehanna Coal Com
pany argued so strenuously that the
coal at South Amboy was subject to
Interstate commerce regulations, and
therefore not taxable in this state. OF
course if the decision in this state
shall be favorable to the coal company
it will be held as a precedent and all
the other big coal companies, as well
as the Lehigh Valley and the other
railroad companies which maintain
large coal storage stations near Perth
Amboy and that section of the state
will fight for the same exemption from
taxation. On that account the decision
is being awaited with eonaderable
interest.

is THE CLAIM
Special to the BTENrNo NsVg.

Trenton, June 4:-Beeause Witalis
Meidak and Mrs. Zigmonta Meidak, his
wife, of Perth Amboy, failed to an
swer In any way within the legal time
the suit brought against them in the
Court of Chancery by the Peter Breidt
Brewing Company, of Elizabeth, Chan
eellor Pitney has made decree ad-
Judging that the bill of complaint be
taken as confessed against the defen-
dants. The complainant now only has
to support its contentious in its bill
OF complaint by the necessary afidavits
in order to get final decree in it's IA
vor for the relief asked of the court.
The suit was brought to have the
conveyance of certain real estate in
Perth Amboy set aside on the ground
that it was fraudulent transaction.
The property is valued at $4,000 and
consists of two tracts, one being on
Charles street, near Hall avenue and
the other on the Old Road to New
Brunswick
The bill Of complaint averred that
Witalis Meidak became indebted to the
complainant in the sum of $l,50l. rs.
The debt was not paid and Judgment
for the amount and costs of $40.56 was
obtained by an action in the Middlesex
County Circuit Court. 1t was charged
that when Sheriff Quackenboss went
to levy on the real estate Of Meidak to
satisfy the judgment it was found that
he had no such property. ~
1t was further charged in the bill
by the complainant that Meidak, in or
der to evade paying the Judgment and
to protect his property made fraud
ulent conveyance of the two tracts to
Morgan +. Larsen and that the latter,
on the same day re-conveyed the real
estate back to Mrs. Meidak SO that the
property now stands in her name
The Brewery Company charged that
these conveyances were made for the
nominal consideration of 81 and that
the sole purpose was to defeat the sat-
isfying Of the Judgment by the seizure
of the property. 1t was claimed that
no consideration was given for the
transactions that made the conveyances
legal. 1t was averred, also, that since
the eonveyances Meidak has continued
to occupy the real estate and to re-
ceive the rents and profits from it.
General Dennis +. Collins is president
of the Brewery Company and as such
signed the affidavit accompanying the
bill
