HIS BOND REDUCED.
Robin Cooper's Case to Be Taken Up
in May.

Nashville. Tenn. April 14.-Nashville
has quieted down today after the ex-
element of yesterday attending the ac-
ton of the supreme court and the gov
ernor's subsequent pardon in the case
of Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, sentenced
to 20 years in prison for the murder of
former Senator E. w. Carmack.
Although there was much excited
comment until late last night, there
has at no time been ank indication of
anything approaching disorder. Both
Col Cooper and his son have thus far
declined to make any public statement
Governor Patterson las made no com
ment on his pardon and has denied
himself to all interviewers.
The case of Robin Cooper, who is at
liberty on $4,000 bond. will be taken up
at the May term of court, according to
an announcement by Attorney General
Jefferson McCarn. Meanwhile with
primary to make nomination for the
governor and the state judiciary less
than two months off, the political caul-
don boils Enemies of the governor de-
clare the calling Of this primary, en-
bracing as 1t does the nominations for
supreme court judges, is an attempt
by the executive to hold an AK over the
supreme court which had the Cooper
case under advisement at the time the
call was issued. AS to the governor
ship the campaign will. it is thought,
be waged on the prohibition issue.
The supreme court today reduced the
bail of Robin Cooper from $25,000 to
1000

full relations were re-estahliShed be-
tween Mrs Logan o. Swope and the
special counsel she has employed to
assist the state in prosecuting DR.. B.
c. Hyde, when today, after week of
wrangling she agreed to pay them the
fee thev demanded. So serious had
the breech become that at one time
the attorneys threatened to withdraw
from the case. The counsel consists
of James A Reed. John H. Atwood
and Thomas ]. Mastin.
During the period of turmoil several
heirs to the estate of the late Colonel
Swope made it plain to Mrs. Swope
that they would not share in the ex-
pense of prosecuting the accused ply
sician Two of them were Thomas
Swope, jr, and Stewart S. Fleming,
nephews of the dead millionaire. Mrs.
Swope then decided to meet the ex-
penSe.
Before Mrs. Swope finally accepted
the figures set by the attorneys how
ever, she submitted to them a fee that
she thought just. 1t was shortly after
ward that the lawyers told her their
proposition was final and declared
their intentions of dropping the case
unless the fee demanded was given
them.

RATE TO BOSTON.
Will Be Regular Summer Tourist Fare
to N. e. Association Meeting.

Chicago, April 14.-The Central
Passenger association has settled the
question which has been agitating the
eastern roads for several months as
to the rates to Boston for the annual
convention of the National Education
association early in July. The Grand
Trunk railroad some time ago served
notice that it would make rate of
one fare for the round trip for this
event.
The action of the Canadian road
provoked some hard feeling among
the American lines. and for a time
they threatened to meet the reduction
with a similar rate to other eastern
points. AS this would affect the sum-
mer tourist rates the roads finally de-
cided to let the Grand Trunk have the
business. The wabash will meet the
rate by way of Canada, but otherwise
onIy the regular summer tourist fares
will be used this side of the border.

LAWYER GETS $4,000.
Wanted $4,000 But Judge Cut His
Fee Down.

Chicago, April 14.-Lawyer Seth F.
Crews was given $4,000 by Judge
Pinckney in the circuit court yester-
day for advising Sarah Peterson that
it would be legal for her to marry
John r. Smith, wealthy mine own
er on his death bed.
Miss Peterson married Mr.. Smith
and he died Immediately afterward.
When his estate was probated she fell
heir to $350,000.
Mr.. Crews thought that if Miss Pet
erson's ''yes" was worth $350,000, his
yes ought to be worth tenth of
that sum so he brought suit for $35,-
600.
Mrs. Smiths defense was that she
had not married Smith for his money.
Judge Pinckney intimated strongly
that he held a contrary view.
'I do not see why a woman should
marry a man on his death bed as Mrs.
Smith did, he said.
