MORGAN ASPIRES
TO CONTROL MORE
TRUST COMPANIES
GREAT FINANcIER SAID TO Be AZ.
TER SEVERAL NEW YORK
CONCERNS.
CONTROL WILLIAMS DEPOSITS
-Four Of he Largest institutions Of the
City to Be Added to Those Already
Acquired-Resourees Would Be
More Than Half Billion.

NEW YORK, Jan. Al. P. Morgan
and associates may control, through
further trust company mergers in New
York under consideration, the enor-
nous sum of $21O.OOO,O 900 in deposits
alone, This is approximately S25,OOO,-
more than the deposits of the National
City Bank of this city, the largest
financial institution in the United
States.
Reports of additional trust company
consolidation are given credence in
view of yesterdays announcement Of
the merger by J. P. Morgan & Co. OF
the Guaranty Trust Morton Trust and
Fifth-avenue Trust Companies, with
combined deposits of about $15OOOO,-
900. This brought a revival in the
financial district of rumors embracing
the Bankers Trust Company and the
Manhattan Trust Company in the
same combination. There were def
mite rumors that the Mercantile Trust
Company and the Equitable Trust
Company eventually will be taken in
to some sort of powerful alliance.
Relations between the Morgan inter-
ests and the Manhattan Trust Com.
pany have always been intimate,
though the latter is not regarded as
Morgan appendage.
Deposits of the Bankers Trust
Company aggregate SAC, 100000. and
those of the Manhattan Trust Com
oany $1S,4OO,OOO, so that the two com
1anies, if combined with those now
Known to be in process of absorption
by y. P. Morgan and associate"
would total in deposits more than
2OO,O0OOO0.
National banking interests do not
ook with uniform favor on the in
'rease in trust company power.

ENJOIN ISSUE
PEABODY BONDS
TEMPORARY ORDER MADE BY
CHANCELLOR AGAINST
MURFREEsBoRo.

SHELBYVILLE, Tenn, Jan. A.
Chancellor Walter S. Bearden, al
Chambers, today granted a restraining
order on application of counsel for an
injunction against the town Of Muir.
freesboro and the county of Ruther.
ford in the matter of the State Normal
School for Teachers.
The Chancellor in granting the tenn
porary restraining order, set next
Thursday, the 9Th, to hear argument
on the petition for an injunction at
Murfreesboro.
Several prominent members of the
bar of Murfreesboro, were before the
court
The object in bringing the suit, it is
said, is to have the Supreme Court, by
passing on the acts involved, clear
away all possibility of legal hinder
anee or opposition to the State Nor
NAL at Murfreesboro in the future.
The bill, which was filed at Murfrees-
boro earlier in the morning, sets forth
defects in the general education act
and that empowering counties and
cities to issue bonds for the purpose
of aiding the establishment of Normal
Schools.
Among the various allegations
against the two acts are the charges
that both are unconstitutional be-
cause more than one general subject
is embraced in the caption OF each;
that provisions as to eqaulity and uni
formity of taxation are violated and
that constitutional requirements were
not conformed to in enactment of the
legislation in question. 1t is further
alleged that citizens of Murfreesboro
would, under the acts complained of,
be doubly taxed to support State
school and that tSate and county
schools would benefit by the taxes
levied ostensibly for municipal school
and that tn citizens of MUIR
would not have the privilege
Of voting on the question of the issu-
ance of the school bonds.
The restrainin gorder enjoins the |
ISSUANCE of Normal School bonds by |
The county of Rutherford and the city |

ANOTHER EDITOR
QUITS TENNESSEAN
MR.. DOUGLAS ANpERsoN's CON-
NEcTIoN WITH PAPER CEASED
WITH MONDAYS ISSUE.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 1.-Mr
Douglas Anderson, who has been chief
editorial writer on the Tennessean,
has resigned and severed his connec-
ton with that paper. When asked
about the matter this morning, he
said:
Il rendered by resignation on De-
cember 81 and it became effective on
last Monday resigned my position
on the Tennessean because l received
instructions to follow a policy in the
editorial CONDUCT of the paper which,
if | had agreed to, would, in my opin-
ion, have been very unwise, and I'M
doubtedly would have been complete
reversal of the course had been pur-
suing with respect to the present state
campaign. There was nothing left for
me to do under the circumstances but
to tender my resignation, and this /
did.
After my resignation was accepted
two editorials were printed, one in
and one in Mondays issue,
with respect to the Peabody Fund con-
troversy. AS a number of people
have charged me with the authorship
of these editorials, | desire the privi-
lege of saying that l knew nothing of
them until they were printed In the
paper, and that tehy do not express
my views"

This question was the one that puz-
zled Carrie Shack, who was placed in
somewhat of a dilema by the ardent
attentions of duo of ardent lovers,
both Of whom wished to inyeigle her
into the bonds of matrimony. Play
ing the part of the enamored lovers
were Herman Brown, recently divorc-
ed from Carrie, and James Eddins, a
later conquest.
About two days Eddins appeared at
the office of the county court clerk
and asked for a marriage license.
The instrument was issued, and show
ed that Carrie Shack was starring in
the leading female role. Twenty-four
hours later Herman Brown, enamored
of Carrie and anxious to wed, also call
ed for a marriage license, his ostensi-
BILE purpose being to take the popular
Carrie under the protection of his own
roof. When notified that a license
had been issued to his rival Brown
confessed no fear of his ability to win

smilingly home, Today Brown reap

Brown was divorced from Carrie a |

that he had acted hastily, and hurried |

MORE ROADS BUILT.
MORE WIRES STRUNG.
SAYS THE REPORT
MAuRY COUNTY IS COMING TO
THE FRONT IN PRAcTL
CAL WAY.
ASSESSMENT LARGELY INCREASED
Gain Of Nearly 100000 Made in The
AssessabIe Valuation Of Railroads,
Telephone and TeIegraphs-L. &
N. Leads.

An increase of nearly 100000 is
shown in the assessable value OF
Maury county railroads, telegraphs
and telephone lines by the statement
just made up in the Office of County
Trustee Elem Thomas. The assess
ment is for two years, and the annual
increase is approximately $4,000.
This is due to the building OF new
lines, rather than to an increase in the
valuation of the old lines. The ex-
tension of the telephone systems, and
the construction of additional railroad
mileage, are largely responsible for
the good showing made
More than three-fourths of the taxes
assessed against the railroads, tele-
graphs and telephones is paid by the
L. & N. Railroad, which has a track
age in the county of about sixty
miles, assessed at $1,6OS,4S2.
The n, G. & st. l.. Railway comes
next with 1878 miles, of trackage as
sessed at $1O6, 422.50
The statement shows that the two
telephone systems are almost at
stand-offs when it comes to the num-
Der of miles Of wire strung, although
the assessable value of The property
owned by the Cumberland system is
twice that OF its competitor.
The railroad assessment is kept sep
arate and distinct from the assess
ment of other property, the total as
sessment being as follows:
Railroads, etc. ..$ I,S23,993.50
Other property ..... 1896, 10000
Total for county. 49,. S12, 220, 793. so |
The increase during the past two
years of the assessment of railroads, |
ETC., is shown by the following figures:
For 1909 .............$1 81, SO, $3.50 /
For 1907 ...............$1 ,727, 6S4.OO
