NEW TRIAL ORDERED IN CASE
INVOLVING BILLS OF LADING

Decatur bank and withdrawn and suit
was started by Springs & Co.
In ordering a new trial Justice New
burger says:
1T would appear that the decisions of
the English courts and the supreme court
of the United States have uniformly held
that money paid upon draft properly
drawn. but accompanied by forged bills
of lading, when paid by the drawee, can
not be recovered.
ut is conceded that the defendants (the
Hanover National banlS) received the draft
with the bills of lading and certificates
OF insurance OF the First National bank
Of Decatur. who by direction Of having
discounted the draft was bona fide
holder for value, and in presenting to
the plaintiffs and receiving payment
therefor, the defendant acted as the agent
of the Decatur bank.
1T furthermore appears that neither the
defendant nor its principal had knowl-
edge that the bills of lading or certfi-
Gates of insurance were forged. The de-
fendant's authority was simply to collect
the amount of the draft. 1t did not guar
antee the validity of the collateral, or
that the cotton would be delivered
1T also appears that Knight, Yancey &
Co. became bankrupt three weeks after
the payment by the plaintiffs of the draft
and 15 days after the Decatur bank had
drawn the balance in the hands of the
defendant, and almost one month before
the plaintiffs notified the defendants of
the non-arrival Of the cotton.
For these reasons here stated, the mo-
tion to set aside the verdict must be
granted and new trial ordered

nebate on Question

| The feature of the morning session in
the house was the debate on Walker Per-
| cy's constitutional amendment resolution
designing to change the present fee sys-
tenn in operation in Jefferson county,
which was finally adopted by vote Of
81 to 5. When the resolution was called
up for final passage, Mr.. Percy explained
the purpose of the desired amendment
to the constitution in SO far as it ef-
fects Jefferson county. He declared that
the sheriff of jefferson county, under
the present fee system, received from
$50 600 to $4,000 per annum, and that the
amendment was desired for the purpose
CT putting this officer on a regular sas-
Gry. along with other officials of that
county whose compensation was out OF
proportion with the amount of service
performed
Mr.. Long said he was opposed to the
resolution on the ground that the special
election to amend the constitution would
entail too much expense on the state.
He said this election would cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 and that the peo-
rle of the state should not be required to
bear this expense on a question about
which only the county of Jefferson was
concerned.
Mr. Rice said it had been a continual
source of embarrassment to the smaller
counties of the state to regulate the fee
system on the basis of Jefferson county.
He declared that the resolution embodied
cnly a business proposition, and that the
sheriff of Jefferson county had no right
10 receive a net salary of $4,000 a year.
The very fact that the officers of JEFF
rerson county do receive an unreasonable
compensation declared the Tuscaloosa
representative, was sufficient grounds for
the passage of the resolution.
To other members of the house who
spoke against the resolution was DR..
Huddleston of Elmore county. Mr.. Hud-
d.eston said he had promised "the boys"
back in beat TO- on the Coosa river. that
IT, any resolution came up in the house
proposing to amend the constitution that
he would oppose 1t, and that he meant
TO keep his promise. He declared, how
ever that he regarded the resolution as
good one, and that the change should
be made, but that he intended to remain
by his promise.
Others who spoke on the passage of the
resolution were Mr.. Mcdonald, Mr.. Judge
and Mr. Pegram, all of them strongly
urging the passage of the resolution Mr..
pegram said the present fee system in
Jefferson county was stain on the
escutcheon of that fair county.
The resolution was then adopted by a
vote of 81 to 5.

TAFT CUTS DOWN
HIS ITINERARY

Washington, February 1.-President
Taft's announcement today that the
southern tour which he had planned to
be cancelled with the exception of the
visit to Atlanta on March 10 started po-
litical tongues to wagging with rumors to
the effect that his purpose was to prepare
for a possible extra session of Congress
In case the present session fails to enact
the reciprocity agreement between the
United states and Canada, which the
President is urging strongly as lesisla-
tion needed Ly both countries.
Pressure of business and the fact that
numerous Invitations to visit many places
in the south are making the tour assume
too large proportions. are the reasons as
signed at the White House for the can
collation. Of the trip. 1t is believed IN
many quarters however, that Mr.. Tarl
is clearing the decks of all but absolute
ly necessary engagements SO that In case
he should find it impossible to get his
reciprocity measure through this session,
he can be prepared for an extra session.
He has said that he hopes tc see 1t passed
tefore March 4.
Fears have been expressed that the
Senate will, talk the. measure to death
or kill 1t In some other way, although
1t is believed the House. probably, WILL
with the aid of democrats, pass it. If this
should be the case, the President Will
feel, it is said, he can depend on DEM
ocratic House, such as would exist after
March 4, to support him In his EFFORTS
to pass this legislation which he looks
upon as one of the most important meas
ures the present administration has urged.
An extra session would force action on
the question with the chances apparently
in favor of the President getting his reel
procity legislation.
Having promised long time ago 10
address the convention of the Southern
Commercial congress in Atlanta on the
night Of March 10. the President was
unwilling to cancel this important en-
gagement, and especially as 1t would keep
him away from Washington only two
days

House FavOrs Amendment
| Resolution 81 to 5
NOW GOES TO THE SENATE.
ment which VIII Allow Jefferson
County to Regulate Salaries
of County Officers
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery. February 1.-(Special)
1t begins to appear as though the fee
grabbers of Jefferson county will be
| put out of business.
This is due merely to the fact
that the bill providing for a constitu-
tional amendment, by means of which
the people of Jefferson can handle their
own problem in their own peculiar way.
passed the house this morning by an
overwhelming vote. But more signifi-
| cant even than the vote was the hearty
manner in which the legislature voted.
Every man appeared greatly pleased
when he answered AYE" to the roll
call.
times in the senate. the first reading
| occurring tomorrow. Senator Morrow
stated this morning that there is no
doubt but that the vote in the senate
will be practically as, large in proper
tion as was the vote in the house.
With the bill passed by both houses,
the question will then be settled at
the polls in the general election of
1912. The prediction Is general that
the people will vote to relieve JEFF
ferson county of its burden as heartily
as the members of the legislature have
voted. And then will begin the direct
fight against tie fee grabbers.
The bill, as Is known, provides for
an amendment to that section of the
constitution which declares that no bill
regulating fees and charges of county
officials shall be passed unless 1t Is
effective In every county of the state.
The amendment is, provided that the
provisions do not apply to Jefferson
county"
With this amendment sbills can be
passed through the Legislature dealing
with fees and court charges in JEFF
ferson county alone and it is safe
prediction that instead of drawing
princely salaries. as at present, Jeffer-
son county officials in the future, will
draw big salaries, but salaries not out
of all reason
