ing been absent from the bench for
three months, during which time he
was recuperating his health. Chaucell-
or Hal H. Haynes has resumed his
duties. Judge s. e. Williams pro-
minent lawyer of johnson City, was
named by the governor to serve in
Chancellor Haynes absence. Judge
Williams has now resumed his law
pratice. Chancellor Haynes feels much
stronger and much. more equal to the
strenuous duties he has since his return
from Florida. His threatened health is

Knoxville, April Elm the presence
of vast concourse of sorrowing friends
the mortal remains of the late Senator
Robert Love Taylor were consigned to
their final resting place in Old Gray
cemetery Friday afternoon. Wept and
mourned by thousands throughoutthe
state and the union, the body of the
"apostle OF sunshine, "who had brought
sunshine into countless lives by his un-
selfish generosity, now reposes in the
tomb.
Though more imposing than any fu-
neral ever held in this city, the services
that marked the last sad rites were
simple, but wonderfully impressive,
and the sincerity OF the love and esteem
in which the departed sentor was held
by the people of this state and through
out other states, was plain ly demons
trated.
With their faces marked with grief,
distinguished members of the national
congress stood beside the grave as the
final words were spoken. From all Sec
tons of this state and from others, his
admirers and friends had gathered and
it was with aching hearts they attended
the obseguies. By far the largest crowd
that everDattended a funeral in this
city bowed in grief around the bier of
the departed, and never were grief and
sorrow over the loss more plainly evid-
enced.
AS the body lay in state at the Audi
torium, it was viewed by many thou
ands, while an audience that filled TO
overflowing the same building, gather

SLEEPING NPENITENTlARY
The Din of the City Has Prevent
ed Him From Getting Rest and
it is Stated That He Will Be
Compelled to Take a Vacation
Before Beginning Campaign.

Governor Hooper has been indispos-
ed for several days and his friends here
have learned that he has been guilty
again of his old habit of working too
much and too long, and that he has been
grinding away at something like Is
hours per day in Nashville, and that
as result he will he forced to take a
vacation, even before he starts his CAM
paign. 1t will not be surprising to see
him back in the mountains of this sec
tion as soon as the weather opens up.
His stay here last year was of much
benefit to him and il will help him a.
gain, he thinks.
The governor has been sleeping OF
late in The penitentiary, away from the
noise and din of the city. He is suffer-
ing from a nervous breakdown and
charity fair which is in progress on
the street in the rear of his home has
made such din that he had to seek
haven OF refuge in the penitentiary.

ments for speeches during the Southern

time until the doors were closed for q
brief period at ll:15 O'Clock, contin-
uons stream of sorrowing humanity
flowed by the bier to pay last Tribute
of respect to the dead leader.
In the stream that ebbed by the cas-
ket almost buried in fragrant flowers,
were all classes of citizens. Statesman
lawyersjurists and other Of prominence
touched shoulders with men in the low
er walks of life, who from afar perhaps
had admired the qualities that had rem
dered the deceased distinguished, with
old Confederate soldiers, who brushed
away furtive tear as they ;gazed for
the last time upon the form of the man
they had loved so we'll, and wit h old
colored men, some of whom had known
"Marse Bob from his boyhood days
and had scraped together the few dol
lars necessary to pay the expense OF
their trip to Knoxville for the funeral
Several of these made no efforts to con-
cealltheir emotion, and sobbed audibly
while the eyes of many Others were
teardimmed.
Among those who passed by the biel
were formor governors OF the state
United States senators, ,members of the
lower house of congress, and many
others of prominence, to say nothing OF
the thousands of "plain people, OF
whom the deceased had always main.
tanned he was one. In all, it is said
that nearly eight thousand persons
passed before the casket, and the only
reason that there were not nearly as
many more was that the time was toe
limited, for thousands who desired to
view the remains were unable to gain
admission to the building.
The interior of the building was
draped in colors of mourning, the white
and black draperies having been used
lavishly around the balcony lodges
the windows, and the stage. Beautiful
in the extreme, though, were the floral
pieces, cf which there was greater
profusion than was ever noted on a SIM
liar occasion in this city.

RAILROADS MUST CARRY
BEER, COURT DECIDES
RY RALPH sMITH.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 22.-The
supreme court today declared invalid a
Kentucky prohibition law which sought
to prohibit railroads from shipping in
interstate commerce beer or other in
toxlcating liquors consigned to dry
points in that state. The opinion was
by Justice Lurton, but the entire court
concurred.
Justice Lurton held that the Kentucky
statute is valid in so far as it seeks
to control shipments entirely within the
state, but when the state law goes be-
yond this seeking to prohibit shipments
originating outside Of the state, 1t is
invalid as an interference with inter-
state commerce. The case came to the
supreme court from the United States
circuit court for Indiana.
The opinion today sustains the lower
court.
The Louisville and Nashville railroad
refused to ship beer offered to its agent
in Indiana by the F. w. Cook Brewing
company, of Evansville. 1t justified its
refusal on the ground that Kentucky
laws forbid the shipment of liquor into
dry territory in Kentucky. The court
held that the fact that the Louisville
and Nashville was a Kentucky corpora
ton did not bring it within the statute
as 1t is an interstate commerce car
rier.
The court holds that the Wilson law
regulating such shipments in interstate
commerce has been held by the court to
protect such shipments in the original
packages until they have passed from
the control of the character into the
hands of the consignee.
