JUDGES WILL NOT ENTER
Three Supreme Judges Decline to
Enter Primary Bot Continue

1HIcc IltHlUeIS VI bllc l)TSSeilb Cu-
preme Court-Chief Justice w. ID.
Beard, of Memphis; Justice M. M.
Neil, of Trenton, and Justice John X.
Shields, of Morristown - announced
last night that they would not enter
the democratic primary called by the
state committee at its recent session in
Nashville. A telephone message from
Cookeville last night also announced
that Judge d. l.. Lansden, who is a
candidate for seat on the same court,
would not enter the primary.
The statement of the three Judges
getting out of the primary was pre-
pared by themselves and signed by all
three. 1t was as follows:
said: | am perfectly willing to submit
my claims to a primary election"
The disaffection of other members
will not affect the candidacy of Judge
Bell.
Judge Lansden's statement, tele-
phoned from Cookeville, was as follows:
"After due consideration, have de-
cided that | will not be a candidate for
Supreme Judge in the Gubernational
primary ordered by Gov. Patterson.
ID. l.. LANSDEN." :"
The Judges would give no further
information.
"In view of conditions existing at
this time, and well understood in the
State, we desire to make public an
nouncement that as candidates for
places on the Supreme Bench we will
not enter the primary recently ordered
by the State Democratic Executive
Committee, April 2, 1910.
"W. ID. BEARD,
'sM M. NEIL,
"JOHN X. SHIELDS
Further than this the Justices de-
clined te speak of their intentions in
regard to continuing their candidates.,
independent of the primary called by
the committee. Their retirement from
the primary arrangement leaves east
and west Tennessee without candidates
before the primary for the Supreme
Bench. The incumbents remaining in
the field for the nomination before the
primary for the Supreme Court are
Justice McAiister and b. d. Bell.
Justice McAlister, when apprised last
night that the three of his confreres on
the bench would not enter the primary
and asked if he had any statement to
make, said: 81 have nothing further
to say tonight" The day after the
primary was called Justice McAlister
1t was the talk in political circles
last night that the places of the three
Judges retiring from the primary
would be promptly filled from lawyers
of well-known reputation from the
Democratic ranks, and developments
today will be watched with interest.
The rumor that the three present mem
bers of the Supreme bench would not
go in the primary was current about
the hotels last night, but no formal an
to that effect was given
out until about 1880 o'clack in the
evening.

SEAL HUNT HALTED.
Quest for Rich Islands Deferred by
Technicality,

Information reached the American Mu-
scum of Natural History. in New York.
some time ago that in the antarctic region
there are many islands. and on most of
them are herds of fur and hair seals
which may possibly equal the herds Of
fur seals on the Pribilof Islands. off the
coast Of Alaska
The museum also received information
that the antarctic regions aboul ded in
whales and sea elephants.
Conferences were held between officers
of the museum and the Secretary Of Com
MERGE and Labor. and it was decided to fl
out the Albatross. a government steam
ship, for an expedition To the South At
lantic and antarctic regions, the museum
to place on board scientists and scientific
instruments and other paraphernalia and
to pay a portion of the expense of the
journey. II was planned TO start late
this summer.
The money for the maintenance Of the
AIbatross for the fiscal year beginning
July next has not been appropriated,
and the Comptroller Of the Treasury says,
in the opinion he has rendered on the
subject, that he is not warranted In ruling
on the matter. He declines 10 pass on
the proposition. In view Of this, the ex-
petition may have to be postponed for
the year, st least.

that postal savings funds shall be in

been abandoned. Senator Smoot was re-

walton on a vacant lot at Third street
and seaton place northeast Saturday
night last, residents of lexington have
started a subscription fund.
It Is not likely the subscription viii be
confined to residents of lexington. for
the kindly feeling toward Mrs. Smith Is
city-wide in scope. So rapidly was money
received after the plan for the financial
assistance Of Mrs. Smith was launched
that friends of the widow not only be-
/ lIeve she will be reimbursed in the money
of which she was robbed, but consider
It likely the fund will defray other ex'
penses resulting from the attack.
Donations Are Liberal.
Irwin B. Linton. a lawyer. living al
1926 Second street northeast. started the
fund with a liberal donation. Charles G
