that followed one after anoth-

AUDITOR DENT WILL
GET MRS. HUTCH|NS'
CASE ON THURSDAY
Her Application for Increas-
ed Allowance to Be Sub
! mitted on That Day.

Submission to Auditor Dent of Mrs.
Stilson Hutchips' application for in
crease of her $1,000 monthly allowance
from the estate of her aged millionaire
husband will be made Thursday after
noon, when attorneys will close their
arguments.
Lee Hutchins, stepson of Mrs. Hutch
ins, gave the concluding testimony yes
terday afternoon, fatty contradicting
Mrs Hutchins regarding the purpose of
her $1,000 allowance.
ITO keep peace in the family" Lee
Hutchins said her allowance was in
creased from $500 to $1,000 a month, to
cover both her personal and household
expenses, with 500 a month for pin
money" Mrs. Hutchins declares the
whole 5000 is her private, personal
property and asks additional sums for
household expenses.
Wants Bills Paid.
Payment of Paris bills amounting to
about 5000 and expenses of two trips
here from Narragansett Pier for the
trial before Auditor Dent is also de-
manded by Mrs. Hutchins. Her attor-
ney, John c. Cuttings, says he will ask
Justice Wright tomorrow to order pay
her husband. He has presented pei
tion to Auditor Dent for reimbursement.
in which Mrs. Hutchtns says she rs
likely to be subjected to annoyance, and
the expenses of having an attachment

apartment" She has had the Paris
residence for years, at an annual rental
Of $500.

her expenses of coming twice to Wash
ington during the present trial were
$S666O including a bill for her room at
the New Willard for four days of sSl
and cafe costs during the same time of

Lee Hutchins says Mrs. Hutchins de-
manded that expenses of shipping the
Hutchins automobile and chauffeur to
Naragansett Pier be paid from her hus-
bands general income, and not by her
from her allowance.
Loaned Her Money.
Hutchins told Auditor Dent he had
frequently loaned his stepmother money
to meet deficits in her household purse.
He also said he loaned her brother,
Stewart Keeling, $500 and was repaid
by Mrs. Hutchins. He said she for
merly figured" that 500 a month was
her pin money" and that the $1,000
allowance was to include grocery and
other bills, as we'll as her gowns, hats, +!
and other apparel
Denial that Mrs. Hutchins ever COM |
planned of trouble in getting money |
from her husband was made by Lee |

EARNINGS Of BEACH
TO Be SOUGHT FOR

Funds Given to Treasury

AS soon as he determines how much
Will be needed for the maintenance Of
the bathing beach until September q,
Dr. W. B. Hudson, superintendent. will
recommend the passage of a special act
OF Congress authorizing the use of the
receipts for bathing suits and towels,
which are now turned into the Treasury.
Undoubtedly DR.. Hudson's recommendl-
ton will be approved by the Commits
sionerS.
will be needed to keep the pools open.
Last year the receipts amounted to 5000,
and this year, in view of the largely in
creased patronage, it is believed they
will reach 1000 This sum will be more
than ample for the continuance of what
has become one of the most popular
institutions in the District.
In the opinion of DR.. Hudson, there
will be no objection on the part Of Con-
Sress to the use by the beach OF its own
earnings for its continuance. DIR. Hud-
son has at present at his disposal less
than ST. 0O0 OF this sum 500 must be kept
as a reserve fund in the event of some ac-
the pools. The remainder is used in the
payment of salaries, which aggregate

DR.. Hudson does not regard with IA
vor the proposition to raise money by
private subscription, as was done in
the case of the Washington play
grounds. The receipts, he said today,

for the purpose.
DR.. Hudson has had many requests to
keep the pools open until p. m, but
with his limited force, 1t is said, this is
Impossible.

BULLOCK COUNTY
 PRESENTS BILLS

Union Springs, January 27.-(Special)- Two bills will be introduced at this session of the legislature that are of great inter est to the people of Bullock county. One Is for the establishment of a High school at Union Springs and the other is to de- dicial circuit and from the southeastern chacnery division and to establish Bull lock county court of law and equity which shall take the place of both circuit and chancery courts.
 The former bill to establish a high school provides for an appropriation by the state of S5000 annually to maintain the school in addition to funds which will be set aside by the county. Tuition is to be free to all residents of the county.
 The bill to establish a Bullock county court of law and equity is favored by practically all the lawyers in the county. They argue that such a court will be more satisfactory in the quick handling of the cases pending and will also effect saving in time and money. The bill is in accordance with the requirements as to population and taxable value of prop erty Lee county formerly belonged to the Third judicial circuit, but was de- tached in this manner about two years ago. The bill provides that judge shall be elected every six years with salary of S3000; solicitor shall be elected every four years with. salary of S1SO0. The circiut court clerk will become the county court clerk and register, and shall be elected every six years, as formerly.

FARMERS DO LARGE
 TRADE IN FARM MULES
Union Springs Farmers Are PrOsper0us and Have Work Well Advanced.
 Rev. Hell Returns

l. Union Springs, January (special.)-A very large number of mules and horses are being sold in Union Springs this win ter. This is good proof of better f1nan- cial conditions in this section, as the January mule market is the best barome- ter of the feeling prevailing among those who are interested in agriculture For the past three years almost no new mules have been brought here but this winter will see many farms throughout the county supplied with new stock. One dealer here has sold out four lots of fine mules and horses and there are three other dealers here doing a big business. The mules that are being sold will aver age about s200 each
 On account of the very excellent wealth. CT which has prevailed during the most of the month of January, farming oper- ations are much further advanced than Is usual at this period of the year. The farmers are in better spirits as a result of the good crop made last year .and the good price which they received for it and are entering upon their work this year with the feeling that better times are ahead. Floy Stroud, the 8-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. c. c. Stroud, who died al their home on Southern Heights Tues day afternoon, was buried at Aberfoi cemetery, six miles below here, yester- day afternoon at 1 o'clock. The funeral was attended by large number of rel atives and friends.

Prof. CIeve Edwards, principal of the public schools here, was waylaid and at tackled by three young men yesterday while returning from a visit to the home of the young woman. Edwards, 1t is re- ported, proved himself to the emergency and came out of the difficulty without injury. Hugh McNair, one of his assail- ants, was badly stabbed The other rivals of Edwards, Alex Overby and Will Cook, are said to have fired several shots at the professor as he retreated, none of which took effect.
 Edwards has not been seen since the difficulty, and as result Gallilee's school is closed for want of teacher.

 encouragement during the day in his ef-
 fort to form an organization of sherihs and other county officials for the purpose
 of working for the division of Jefferson
 county and the creation of Pettus county.
 We have got to do this" stated Sherin Oakley, flor every time we asked for re- lief and for certain needed legislation the situation in Jefferson is thrown in our faces. We are told the sherin of Jefferson gets more money than the President of the United States, and because 1t Is said he does we are denied those things which we need"
 Sheriff Oakley has communicated with the majority of sheriffs of the state to- day, and it is understood that there will be a meeting in the hear future He is displaying about 20 telegrams re- ceived this afternoon from citizens of Bessemer Each of the senders is thank | ing him for his statement and for his in- tention and pans. It appears that the Bessemcrftes consider the action of Oak
 ley as the drowning man and the prober- l bial straw.
