WATTERsoN is STILL TALKING.

Columbia, S. c., Feb. Henry
Watterson is here en- route to Flor
ida, and today stated, in referring to
the HarveyWilson letters given out
yesterday, that he acted with Har-
vey's knowledge, upon his insistence,
and says Harvey urged him to take
the initiative. He said the refusal
of Wilson to submit the issue of We
racity to the tribunal he proposed
would be regarded by fair-minded
people as confession that he dare
not face the facts. In conclusion he
said.
"As to those democrats who made
hero of Wilson because of his break
with Harvey, how shall they square
themselves withathe eternal verities
when they learn that Wilson and Har.
very are weeping upon one anothers
! bosom"

TED THE CITY POLICE
JUSTICE.
EDGAR PARKER POUND KEEPER
Het'r'ns Police Chief Beverly Gives
out Statement. Change is Made
win Apparently No Feeling on
Part Of Anyone.

The shake-up in city affairs caused
several weeks ago by the dismissal of
Tom Beverly as chief of police and
the consequent resignation of Mayor
Rich as the head of the police depart
ment and acting as police justice
came to conclusion this morning.
when Commissioner Fuller was form
ally elected Police Justice by the COM
missioners and Willis Moore began
active administration as chief of
the police department. Edgar B.
Parker, who has lived here nearly all
his life and is well-known all over
the city, succeeds Mr.. Moore as pound
Keeper and has entered actively to
work in this department. His salary
will be $1,000 per month. The new
chief of police gets $4,000 per month
instead Of $500, formerly paid Mr..
Beverly.
The changing of the affairs of this
department apparently was done with
very little feeling among those affect
ed by the change, and every one con-
nected with the city hall seemed to
be in a good humor before and after
the meeting of the Commissioners
this morning. Everybody was busy
as consequence of the stream of
property owners who were paying
taxes and aside from this. things are
running along smoothly as on any
other day When Mayor Rich was
asked II he was going to resign, he
replied that he had already done so,
and it was up to the board to elect
his successor. This was done and
Mr., Fuller will in future try cases in
this court.
Former Chief Of Police Tom Bever-
iy was on hand at the City hall this
morning in citizens attire. When ask

would not accept a position on the po-
lice force rendered him by the Com.

Columbus Court Ends
Especial Dispatch to The journal

Especial Dispatch to The JournaL)
COLUMBUS, Ga, July 18.-The city
court was adjourned yesterday after
noon, after a long session, during which
a big docket of little cases was dis
posed of. In one case a quart of liquor,
valued at 70 cents, was the amount in
volved, and there were a number of
small cases which consumed much time
of the court officials and "a jurymen.
A movement was recently started in
the Columbus Board of Trade to abol-
ish the city court, a resolution having
been passed by that body complaining
about the cost of this court and bust
ness Interruptions due to the heavy
demands for jury service. The results
of the present term will doubtless be
used by advocates of the adjustment of
the court as evidence to show that it
is rather an expensive way to settle
petty affairs.
