DELINQUENT TAXES
IN OFFICERS HANDS
FOR THE COLLECTION
NINTH DISTRICT WAS THE LAST

Tuesdays Daily.)

With the placing of the delinquent
tax books in the hands of the officers
for the Ninth district this morning,
the entire countys taxes which have
not been paid up are now out for col
lection. The amount of the delin-
quents this year is about $4,000. OF
this amount about $4,000 Is In the
Ninth district, which have been plac-
ed in the hands of w. J. Goad ami M.
M. Butts for collection.
The total tax collections this year
by the trustee amounted to about
$4,000. leaving practically $4,000
to be collected by the officers. It is
not expected that more than half OF
this amount will be collected, as II
lis likely that several of them have
been wrongfully assessed. The trus-
tee remitted the States share of the
February collections to the State
Treasurer on March II, and his col
lections since that time have been
light.

TIVE COMMITTEE ON FISH,,
GAME AND FORESTRY.
WOULD MAKE IT SIXTY DAYS
Presents Idea for Opening on Decem-
ber and Closing on February l..
Submits Claim of Local Men to
Property In ReeIfoot Lake.

Attorney r. S. Hopkins. in an ad-
dress to the legislative committee on
fish, game and forestry, requested
that the hunting season should be
shortened, pointing out the fact that
the present season of ninety days is
too long. Mr.. Hopkins represented
the Middle Tennessee Fish and Game
Association, and was supported In his
contentious by Col Joseph H. Acklen,
the State game warden The claim
was put forward that the present sea-
son was too long and destructive to
propagation of quail in the State.
They also requested that the present
limit of thirty partridges which may
be killed in day be cut down to
twenty, but the committee seemed to
think that this retriction would be un-
necessary if the season should be
shortened by the legislature.
The proposed change in the dates
of the opening and closing of the sea-
son would be from November Is to
December for the opening date, and
from March / to February as the
closing date This change would cut
off thirty days of the season.
Mr. Hopkins also presented claim
Of Frank Swansberg, of New York,
William Barker and John w. Jackson,
of Columbia, for claim of an inter-
est of 1000 acres of land in Reelfoot
lake, which it is claimed was pur-
chased from the heirs of Prof Ben
net,- the original owner of the proper
ty, in 1908. Mr.. Hopkins claimed that
In 1879 Prof. Bennett transferred to
Mr.. Galloway all of his interes: in
the lake with the exception of 1000
acres. Prof. Bennett was to have the
right to select these 1000 acres from
any part of the land he wished. Ac-
cording to the claim. In 1887 M. Gal
loway transferred the part he pur-
chased from Prof. Bennet to the West
Tennessee Land Company, although
the Bennet estate retained their 1000
acres According to the attorney, Will
liam Barker, ]. w. Jackson and Frank
Swanberg bought this tract Of proper
ty In 1908 from the Bennett heirs.

Which They Say They Can't Afford

Owing to the recent ruling of the
Department of Internal Revenue the
peal produce houses announced to
Jay that they would discontinue the
purchase of butter and their quota
tions on butter are withdrawn from
this date. William Barker ana the
Columbia Produce Company both tool
this action.
The ruling which provoked thia

AS dealers in oleomargarine. The
AK on retail dealers In oleo is S4s per

dealefy would be classed as whole
salers and they declare that they can.
not afford to pay the taxes.
Both Mr.. Barker and Mr.. Cochran. OF
the Columbia Produce Company, are
of the opinion that practically all OF
the butter that they purchase on this
market contains more than the six

for that reason they are unwilling to

SALEM MAN
ATTEMPTS TO
TAKE HIS LIFE
GEORGE c. INQUIRER, HEAD OF
TRUST COMPANY, SAVED BY
EFFORTS OF THE POLICE.

Worry over business troubles led
to an attempt at suicide by George
c. Mourer, president of the Con-
tinental Trust company, at his
home, ga Park street, early yester-
day morning. Screams of the mans
frightened wife aroused the neigh
bOrs, who telephoned to the police
station and brought Patrolmen
Thatcher and Johnson to the scene.
After announcing his intention to
take his life, Mourer locked himself
in his room and turned on the gas,
ignoring the pleas of his wife. When
the officers arrived they found the
door locked. They broke down the
door and revived Mourer, who had
not yet become unconscious. His
son arrived Don afterward and took
charge, assuring the officers that he
would prevent any further attempt.

CLAIMS SHOT
HAS CRIPPLED
HIM FOR LIFE

Alleging that when on April Is,
Poundmaster E. Irwin shot at him he
sustained injuries to his foot that
have crippled him for life, Frank
Howard Saturday afternoon began a
suit in the circuit court asking for
general damages amounting TO $1,000
and special damages amounting to
500. Howard alleges that the bullet
shattered the bones in the third toe
on his left foot. The 500 damages
is for the loss of his time and the
$1,000 damages for the injury to his
person.
When Irwin fired upon Howard the
latter was a prisoner in the city Jail
and a member of the street gang. He
started to escape, and Irwin fired, so
he says, to brighten and halt him.
The bullet, Irwin says, hit a rock
and glanced with the result that it
hit Howard in the foot.
Walter E. Reyes is representing
Howard.
