A NOTABLE VICTORY

Methodists all over the South
and other people who have the
best interests of the institution
at heart are rejoicing over the
decision of Chancellor John AL
lison handed down in Nashville,
Tenn, the other day in the fa-
nous Vanderbilt University
case, involving the right of the
board of trust of that institu-
tion to elect it's own members.
The decision was a sweeping
one in favor of the college of
bishops of the Southern Meth
odist church.
At the general conference of
the church in Asheville, n. c.,
in 1910 three members of the
board of trust were elected. The
old board attempted to prevent
these new members from TAX
ing their seats, claiming that
the power of filling vacancies
on the board rested solely with
the board itself. Prior to this
the vacancies on the board had
been filled through the general
conference and no question had
been raised. The board claim
ed that this was merely a con-
cession on its part to maintain
intimate relations with the
church. The position of the
bishops was that the church eS-
tablished and is maintaining
the university of founder"
and that Commodore Wander
bits gift was to the church.
The findings of the Chancel-
lor were:
That the original charter was
granted to representatives of
various annual Methodists con-
ferences.
That Vanderbilt University
was founded by the Southern
Methodist church, and sis now
being largely maintained and
patronized by said church in the
true sense"
That the corporation brought
into existence by agents of the
original patronizing confer
ences simply holds its title to
the university and its property
in trust.
That the board of trust of
the university were never and
are not now members of the
corporation and do not hold and
never have held the right to
elect persons to fill vacancies on
the board.
That the annual conference
having created the board of
trustees, the right to fill vacan-
cies in "the creator" was vested
alone in the creator, the annual
conferences, which by appro-
pirate action transferred the
right to general conference,
which in the exercise of that
right elected N. f. Harris and
V. A. Godbey, of Austin, Tex,
to the board at the Asheville
conference in 1910 and who are
entitled to their seats.

constitute a board of super
vision of the university and
have the right jointly with the

Has Husband jailed,
Bride Repents and
Seeks to Find Bail
Wife Sorry She Preferred Perjury
Charge Against Her 1o Year
Old Mate

Remorse over her hasty action in
preferring a charge of perjury against
her 19 year old husband, William Les
lie. has caused Mrs. Freda Leslie to
prosecute fruitless search of the
city of San Francisco for bondsmen
to qualify for s2.5oo. necessary for
the release of the young groom from
the Marin county jail at San Rafael
The perjury charge was brought
following the action of Leslie in filing
annulment proceedings in the San
Francisco courts. In a complaint filed
in the superior court here Mrs. Les
lie. who before her marriage was
Miss Freda Fries of 1850 Ellis street,
San. Francisco. averred that at the
time of her marriage her husband
took oath that he was 21 years of
age. In his annulment action he as
serted that he was not yet 19 when
the marriage took place.
Pending the result of the repentant
brides efforts, young Leslie has
gained permission from Sheriff Keat-
ing to sit around the Office.

HAYNES CARS
HAVE: NEW
DEVICE
The 1914 Haynes Has New
Electric Gear Shift, Which
Proves Popular

Featuring an electric gear shift,
which promises to equal the electric
light and self-starting systems in i'm
portance to the automobile industry,
the 1914 Haynes cars are attracting
a great attention among local motor
lists
The Haynes is one of the first of
the well known manufacturers to
adopt the electric gear shift, and. as
they also include electric and self
starting systems as part of their
equipment the new models are thor
oughly representative of the ad-
vanced methods of motor car design
and construction.
By eliminating the use of levers
the Vulcan electric gear shift simpli-
fies the operation of the car and
makes it possible for practically the
entire control of the machine to be
The gear shift device is located on
the wheel and it is necessarily only
when changing speeds to press the
button on the speed desired. The
successful operation of the electric
gear shift is in line with the i'm
provements made during the last two
years toward eliminating all incon-
venience and trouble in the opera
tion of motor cars.
That the new device alone will re-
suit in many sales this season is the
opinion of General Manager Cochran
