WHITE SECRETARY
TO COMMISSION
Murray White of Birming.
ham Succeeds w. r. Lloyd
on Tax Commission

Montgomery, January 17.-(Special.)-
Murray White of Birmingham has been
elected secretary of the state tax COM
mission, to succeed VIII r. Lloyd. who
resigned several weeks ago to accept a
position as tax agent with the Alabama
Interstate Power company. The election
of Mr.. White took place today at a meet
ing of the members of the tax commits
sion, held in the office of Governor
O'Neal.
The announcement that Mr.. White had
been selected for the responsible position
in the office of the tax commission occa-
stoned little surprise at the capitol, as
IL had been thought for several days that
he would be named as Mr.. Loyd's sue
cessor.
Mr. White has been connected with the
state tax commission for the past year,
and during that time he gained much val
liable experience that will assist him in
the discharge of his new duties. Before
coming with the tax commission he was
deputy county tax commissioner of JEFF
felson county, under his brother, Frank
S. White, Jr.
Much favorable comment has been
heard at the capitol in reference to Mr..
Whites appointment. and it is believed
that the commission made a wise selection
in naming him to the office.

TWO DAYS A MONTH
TO PARDON MATTERS
Governor O'Neal Will Have
Special Time to Consider
Pardons, Etc.

Montgomery, January 17.-(Specal)-
Governor O'Nea has decided to give two
days in each month to the consideration
Of pardon matters. The governor declared
that he was forced to make this regula-
ton in view of the fact that some days
his entire time is consumed in hearing
appeals for paroles, necessitating, in some
instances, the neglect of other executive
duties.
The days set aside by the governor for
the consideration of pardon matters are
the second Tuesday and Wednesday in
each month. The pardon board meets on
the second Tuesday, and that day is al
ways given over by the governor to hear
ins appeals and petitions for clemency.
The DAY following the meeting of the par
don board will also be given over to hear
ing appeals, which will allow two days
In each month for the transaction of such
business.
The governor declared Fridaytth since
Christmas he has had people to see him
every day with reference to certain par
don matters, and his decision to set
aside two days in each month for such
business was made in order that he
might not be so constantly interrupted in
the transaction of his other executive
duties.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY

Montgomery January 17.-(Speeial)-
The supreme court today rendered a de-
elsion affirming the judgment of the Bar
bour chancery court in the case of Henry
b. Lake VS.. d. l.. Russell ct al, grow
ing out of an effort to secure certain
property left by an intestate. The re-
spondent in the case was D. L. Russell,

Henry b. Lake, as the maternal uncle
OF the deceased, asked for decree award
ing him, as the next of kim one-half of
the intestates personal estate, and all
of her real estate after the determination
of her husbands life interest.

thai judgment was affirmed by the higher
court.

falsely and maliciousy charged him with
larceny in connection with Is bales OF

lower court found for the defendant in
the case.
In the case of the MI. Vernon Lum-
Der company vs.. Kate T. Shepard and Ed
ward Bruce Shepard, appealed from the

purchased. The records in the case showed
tfat the lumber company had bought
1000 acres of land from the Shepards in
April, 1901, with the right to cut the tim
Der off the land for a period of five years.
At the expiration of that time, the timber
net having been cut, the Lumber COM
pany continued to operate on the prop
erty. with the result that few years
later the owners of the property sought to
have the company restrained from fur
ther use of the timber rights. The lower
court refused to grant the order.
The supreme court affirmed the case
of Homer Stewart VS.. the Nashville, Chat
tanooga and st. Louis Railroad company,
