Change In School Law.

Going into effect on July 1, new
Jaw affecting the secretaries of boards
of education of the various districts
OF the county will mark an important
change n school management; The
rev law rrakes the county superin-
tendent of free schools in each county
the county financial secretary, whose
duties are TO keep the financial rec
ords for all the schools in his county,
and he is required to countersign all
orders issued by the board of educa-
ton before the orders are payable
by the sheriff or school treasurer He
is also required to make annual set
Element with the sheriff or school
treasurer.
A record of all disbursements for
school money will be made before the
moneys are paid out, and that the
taxpayers will be able to determine
for what purpose school taxes are be-
ing expended They will also be able
to determine the amount of outstand-
ing orders.
Under the present law the financial
accounts are kept by the SECRETARIES
of the several boards of education
which number over four hundred, and
in many districts of the state, It is
impossible TO determine the true con-
dition of the school funds, and to de-
termine the indebtedness OF the school
districts, as many of the secretaries
fail to keep records of the financial
transactions.
This law provides that the county
superintendent of free schools shall
be provided with an office in the
court house, and his compensation for
keeping the financial accounts and
making settlement with the sheriff
shall be at the rate of seventy-five
cents for each teacher employed, and
shall not be less than SIS in any
county.
AT the end of each month, the
county financial secretary is required
to furnish the several boards of edu-
cation with a summarized statement
showing the true conditions of the
school funds under their control. The
board of education will thereby know
their financial standing at all times,
and there will be no reason for the
board issuing orders in excess of then
funds.

The activity OF the longs was due

WOOOWAR
To PROBE
CLUBS
Police Committee and Mayor After
Places Termed "Just Up
stairs Barrooms."

Mayor Woodward and members of
the Council Police Committee are
planning to make a thorough inves-
tigation Of all locker clubs in the city
preparatory to the granting OF IL
censes for the new year. On account
Of complaints from citizens against d
number Of clubs the inspection prob
ably will be the most rigid that has
been conducted since the licenses
were first granted.
The Police Committee meets Thurs
day afternoon when the matter will
be discussed. Mayor Woodward has
announced that he would make a per-
sonal visit to the clubs complained
about to see just how they are run.
'T have heard some bad things
about these clubs. and before any IL
censes are renewed l want to know
Just what the conditions are" he said.
Until this year the number of clubs
that dispensed alcoholic drinks were
rapidly Increasing. Council finally
called a halt In the granting of IL
censes. and there is hardly any
chance for anything but purely So
cial club to get a license to sell in
toxicating drinks
There are number OF members of
Council who declare that the halt was
not called soon enough, and that there
are a number Of clubs In the city
that are nothing more than upstairs
barrooms 1t has been openly charged
that they are owned by individuals.
and that immense profits have been
made from some of them.
The political activities Of some OF
these alleged owners would indicate
that pull was the explanation for
them getting licenses. A number Of
times Council has attempted to have
audits made of the memberships but
the reports never showed anything
Council has the power to revoke
any locker club permit at any time.
The investigation that Is to be con-
Quoted by Mayor Woodward and the
Police Committee will bring the mat
ter to an acute stage.
Altogether there are eighteen lock-
er clubs In the city. A number of
these are recognized as legitimate So
cial clubs. and there is no disposition
on the part of city officials to inter
fere with them. All the members of
Council, though. are morally certain
that theer are several clubs that are
privately owned, and there Is a grow
ing disposition to revoke these IL
censes

torneys Thursday for his approval.
Solicitor Dorsey and Leonard Haas
held a conference Thursday forenoon
for the purpose Of going over the
amended motion and seeing that all
of the revisions suggested by the So
licitor and ordered by the Judge were
properly incorporated. This done, the
motion was submitted to Judge Roam
for his signature and order of ap-
prevail
Judge Roam reviewed the motion
Thursday in preparation for the an
nouncement Of his decision, paying
particular attention to the allegations
of bias against Henslee and Johen-
ming and to a number of legal points
involved In the defense's claim Of er-
rors.
Some of the leading lawyers Of the
city who have been following the case
expressed the opinion that, disregard
ing the contention that error had been
committed, the defense had estab-
lished a powerful reason for a new
trial in the alleged bias Of A. H. Hen
slee.
Chances for New Triat
The chances for a new trial on
this ground alone. they said, hinged
on whether Judge Roam would ac-
cept the argument of Solicitor Dor
sey that Henslee, even If he made the
remarks credited to him by the de-
fense-which the State does not con-
cede--need not have been prejudiced
in the sense that he could not go
into the jury box with mind open to
the evidence, or whether the Judge
would hold with the defense that
Henslee entertained an ineradicable
bias against the defendant.
The defense submitted affidavits
from well-known citizens In Sparta,
Monroe, Albany and Atlanta testify
ing that the signers had overheard
Henslee not only express his belief in
Franks guilt, but roundly denounce
him and say that he would like to
have hand in his punishment. There
were elven atlantis. OF these, Solicit
tor Dorsey sought to impeach three.
Attorneys Rosser and Arnold ar
gued that If the Solicitor had been
able to find anyone who would swear
against the other eight he certainly
would have done SO.

HOUSES GIFT TO.
MISS WILSON
DENOUNCED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3o.-Repre-
sentative Gray, of Indiana. created a
sensation in the House by denouncing
his colleagues In that body for pre-
senting five dollars apiece to fund
the purpose of which Is TO purchase q
wedding present for Miss Jessie Will
son.
Gray declared members were GET
ting too familiar with the Presi-
dents family" and suggested that the
money be turned over to charity.
Il think this movement Is III bad
taste, indiscreet and an unwarrant-
ed assumption by members of this
House." said Gray. 81 do not think
we should tender trinket to this
lady. Most of us are strangers to
her, and it is bad form for us to in
trude"
Gray further suggested that the
House might better take official ac-
ton in the matter by passing a res
olution congratulating Miss Wilson.
No action was taken on the reso-
luton.
Gray asserted that ne had contrib
uted his SIS with the understanding
that it should be devoted to a char
table purpose, and then added that
Republican Leader James r. Mann
was responsible for the scheme to
give Miss Wilson a wedding present
II want him to tell us why he did
it,y said Gray. let him speak not as
a Republican, but from the standpoint
of Jacksonian economy and Jefferso-
MAN simplicity let him say why we
should do such thing"
Mann made this reply:
After hearing the gentleman from
Indiana, think It would be hopeless
to try to put into his soul the ex
preston which finds itself in the
heart of every other member of the
House. Other members do not need
TO be told why"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3D.
The Mexican situation assumed
a more ominous aspect to-day
when it was officially admitted
for the first time that a heavy
movement Of troops toward the
border is now in progress. 1t is
a significant fact that the troops
being sent southwark are all
cavalry. This force can move
more rapidly than infantry if
any invasion is ordered.
In the official announcement
made by General Leonard Wood.
chief of the United States army
staff, it is stated that the troops
sent to the border will relieve"
those now there. There is no
doubt, however, that, if condi-
tons warrant, all available
forces will be held for immediate
action.
A shift Of troops at this time is re-
garded as ominous. The situation
leads to the belief that the troops to
be replaced really will not be re-
called, but will be left at the border.

Order Confirmed by General Wood.
General Wood said:
Orders already have been given for
the removal Of the Second and Fifth

MRS. EATON
|SFREEO AS
P0|S0NER
Admiral's Widow, Accused of
Staying Him, Shouts for Joy
at Verdict.

PLYMOUTH. MASS. Oct. a0.--
Mrs. Jennie May Eaton to-day was
acquitted Of the murder of her hus-
band. Rear Admiral Joseph Giles Ea-
ton, formerly of Alabama, after the
Jury had deliberated her case eleven
hours.
The verdict OF not guilty was re-
turned at sos a. m, after a crowd of
lawyers, relatives, friends and curious
persons had kept an all-night vigil
In the courtroom.
A remarkable scene took place
when the foreman announced the
verdict that cleared Mrs. Eaton of the
charge of having poisoned her hus-
band with arsenic at their home in
Assinippi. Mass.
The acquitted woman rose to her
feet and, gripping the hands of her
lawyers, exclaimed in shaken
voice: THANK God! 1 have the best
lawyers in Massachusetts,"
About zoo persons were in the
courtroom when the verdict was an
nounced. In spite of previous warn
ing from the bench, the spectators in
the rear Of the room rose in their
seats and started to cheer when the
defendant was acquitted.
Almost Immediately Mrs. Eaton,
accompanied by her lawyers, left the
courthouse With all possible dis
patch Mrs. Eaton left for Assinippi to
rejoin her aged mother, Mrs. Vir-
gina Harrison, and her daughter,
Dorothy Eaton.
Delay Worried Watchers.
1t had been expected by friends of
the accused woman that very few
ballots of the jury would be necessary
to acquit Mrs. Eaton, but when the
hours began to drag on the less san
guine began to predict a disagree
ment. Very few who followed the
trial closely believed that Mrs. Eaton
would be found guilty. One of the
most optimistic of the group that
awaited the verdict was Mrs Eaton's
attorney. William A. Morse, who kept
saying that he felt morally certain
that his client could not be convicted
on the evidence.
About o'clock unwonted activity
in the jury room indicated that de-
cision had been reached. This shook
the sleep from the eyer Of the patient
watchers, and the seats in the court
room were soon fille,t. A message
was dispatched to Judge Aiken at his
home, and within short time the
jurist had taken his place upon the
bench.
Mrs. Eaton, who had spent the night
tossing upon a pallet in the executive
chamber Of the judge, was aroused
and led into the courtroom. Although
pale. she showed great composure,
being buoyed up by the constantly
reiterated declarations by her lawyers
that she would be acquitted. Her
paleness was accumulated by her
black dress, but she showed no out
ward agitation.
Stiffness Greets Verdict.
Absolute quiet prevailed while the
court put the question as TO whether
or not the jurors had agreed upon
verdict and as to Its nature.
The foreman Of the jury replied,
Not guilty" and then sat down.
The stiffness for few moments re-
manned unbroken. In the dim light Of
the lamps, for dawn had not yet bro
ken, the figures In the room sat mo-
tionless. Then the overstrained feel
ings gave way.
