NO PENSl )NS FOR
RETIRED OFFICIALS
PASSED IN BOTH HOUSES
Na:hville People Indignant al
What They Cali "Small Poll
tics" on Part Of Governor.

Nashville, July 13.-The first days
following the adjournment of the
memorable fifty-seventh general as
sembly are bringing out some interest
ing facts and uncovefing some inter
esting details. One of the most mark
ed of these, and ore for which, it is de-
cided here, there is no earthly excuse
except "small politics." is pocket
veto by Gov. Hooper.
Senator McAlister had passed in
both houses pension bill for the bro
ken down and wornout firemen and
policemen of the city of Nashville. 1t
affected Nashville alone. 1t was pure
ly local bill backed by every men,
Der of the Davidson delegation. 1t pro-
vided for tax of one tenth of one
mill to create fund to retire police
men and firemen on half pay. The tax
was to be laid on the property in Nash
vile alone.
The bill passed the senate in whoop.
1t was sent over to the house and pass
ed that body by big majority vote.
The only impediment was brief
amendment in the house substituting
the names of the mayor and city couL-
Gil in place of the board of public
works, who were to operate the law.
That was during the closing days.
On the very last day it was called up
in the senate and the amendment was
adopted 1t was sent to Gov. Hooper.
The senate waited for it refusing to ad-
journ sine die. Finally there came a
message from the governor that he had
no further communication 10 trans
init to that honorable body. The sem
ate adjourned sine die with the local
measure in the hands of the governor.
The firemeH and policemen of Nash.
willie thought It had become law un-
til some of the old fellows hobbled up
capitol hill to look at the provisions of
the bill, when they were told that the
''bill did not become law. IT died in
the governors Office"
The firemen and policemen of this
city are indignant about the action of
the governor. They can't understand
why he should veto the bill when it,
was sanctioned by all the city and
county delegates.

obtained a considerable amount OF
money by means of forging checks.

ing to pay a debt and the other s5e

last night and subjected Bardwell to
a rigid examination. He IL a well

talker. He is apparently, between
eighteen and twenty-five years old.

evidenced when he was required to
write a number Of names and adj
dresses last night. including his own.
He will probably be given a hear
ing before the recorder Monday morn
