MAKES $4,000 IN A DAY
"TeIephone Boy" May Cause Stampede

AS the result of the passage through

telephone boy has been hauled into
the limelight. An acrimonious con-
troversy occurred in court as to
whether he had made $4,000 or $780,

called Hooking pool. The boy" In
sisted that he cleaned up" only $780,
900 on that deal, and stuck TO this
statement. The airing OF his market
dealings is likely to cause a stampede
into the telephone boy" business, and
give new encouragement to the thou

money In Wall street graves. selected
through tips, secret information and
sophisticated rumors. 1t seems a pity
therefore that there couldn't have come

There were about $50 witnesses ex-

presented by the defense 1t was pIain-
" in evidence that the lines Of the re-
cent political strife we're drawn ia this
case. Fully three-fourths Of the wit
nesses who made affidayits that fair
and impartial trial was impossible in
Gibson County, were Of the faction Of
the Democratic party opposed to that
Tor which the ex-sheriff fought and
stood in the recent State elections. One
witness testified that considering the
fact that the accused were drinking
men, and that they were charged with
having killed Dickson while they were
intoxicated, was one reason why he had
made affidavit that fair and impartial
trial was impossible, since the political
feeling and prejudice was so high in
Gibson County.
Sheriff Dickson was the chairman OF
the independent judiciary campaign
committee, and gave great assistance to
that faction Of the Democratic party in
the August elections. The defendants
were represented by Hon. John r.

Supplies Of Marble.

In recent bulletin, State Geologis
George III. Ashley, says Of marble sup
plies in Tennessee:
Red variegated marbles are found
in number Of counties west Of the
Cumberland table land, notably on Elk
River in Franklin County, and at Oil
Springs, on Leiper's Creek, in Maury
County. Variegated marbles also occur
in Western Tennessee, in the counties
Of Henry, Benton, Perry, Decatur,
Wayne and Hardin. Though some
what inferior to those of the East Ten
nessee Valley, they nevertheless are val
liable stones. A fawn colored or brown
ish red marble is found on Shoal Creek
in Lawrence County. A specimen Of "a
similar stone from the same or neigh
boring locality, now in the collection Of
the University Of Tennessee, has been
mistaken for a noted French marble.
The stone is often variegated by feecy
clouds Of green, red or white. Dove
colored marbles, some Of fine quality,
are found in Wilson, Davidson and
Coffee Counties, and in Rutherford is d
pale yellow marble with serpentine
veins of red and black dots.
An olive green marble of unknown
extent is said to occur in Davidson
County. In Anderson, Union, Haw-
kins and other counties in Eastern Ten
nessee, have been found interesting
specimens Of cave marble or onyx.
The specimens, as rule, are small and
the yield limited. They are only used
for small objects
Tt may be asked why some OF these
other marbles are not being worked
There are probably two reasons--one,
that in many cases they have no rail-
road facilities, or not Immediately on a
railroad; probably Of more importance
is the fact that they, at least at the
moment, do not quite meet the needs
Of the market. 1t may not be generally
known that the marble that used to be
known as Tennessee marble, and upon
which the marbles of this State made
their reputation, are now largely neg
Iected and little minded. mainly be-
cause the taste for marbles has changed |
md the colors which pleased not many
years ago, do not givesas much satisfac-
ion as some OF the lighter gray and |
pink marbles which are now being
mined.
At the present this state stands
bird among the States in the union in
he production of marble. The pro-
Iuction ranging from half million to
Of a million dollars. Ten
lessee marble, at present being quar-
led. has great reputation for interior
almost 80 per cent. Of the
utput being used for that purpose.
he marble also furnishes an excellent
ough building stone, and many build
ngs are being built Of it. =

REELFooT LAKE.
Committee Can't Decide on What
Course to Pursue.


The question Of the purchase by the
State Of Reelfoot Lake for a game and
fish preserve is still a question. Follow
ing a session lasting three hours last
night at the Hermitage Hotel, in which
number argued for and against the
resolution proposed by the Recess Com
mittee on Game, Fish and Forestry. the
committee voted to a tie, 5 to s. Fur
Their consideration was deferred, with no
date fixed for consideration
The next matter taken up was the
Reelfoot Lake question
BY order Of Chairman Mckay. the
resolution published in the Banner, as
recommended BY the committee, was
read by Senator Bacon, chairman Of
the committee, who has championed
the States purchase Of the lake prop
erty.
The advocates OF the resolution had
been heard at a previous hearing. The
opposition to the bill was heard.
Judge +. W. Moore, of Union City,
represented j. @. Burdick, who has I'M
der lease fishing privileges Of the lake.
Judge Moore said that he believed that
the State should own the lake. He an
swered the charges of Senator Bacon,
made last week, that unless the Legis-
lature took some action, hi would
break loose on the lake. He declared
that he was surprised when he saw
these charges in the newspapers.
Chairman Mckay asked Judge Moore
to confine himself to the legal phases Of
the subject. Judge Moore said he had
no doubt about the ownership Of Reel
foot Lake. He said that the West Ten
nessee Land Company had q clear title
to the property. He declared then that
the State had no right to 60 there and
exterminate any variety Of fish, He
held that II would have no right to DC
50 until the State purchases the prop
erty.
Judge Moore charged that Senator
Caldwell, who favors State ownership,
was vice-president of fish company,
which bought and sold fish, Senator
Caldwell, present at the meeting, re-
pudiated the charge.
Mr.. Burdick was given five minutes
to address the committee. He spoke to
the resolution in an effort to show that
the fish mentioned did not destroy
game fish. He said the committee that
gathered the data was mistaken.
Representative Puryear appeared in
behalf Of the resolution. He discussed |
the legal status Of the question. He
also bore out Senator Bacon 5 statement
as to unrest on the lake.
Judge w H. Swiggart, as a citizen,
addressed the committee on lake condi-
lions.
