FOR MAURY COUNTY
SEVERAL CASES DIRECT FROM
THE MAURY COUNTY
COURTS.
OTHERS Of GENERAL NATURE

son countq Docket This Morning
and Is Postponed for Hearing Until
After tho Hoildays-

The supreme court met for its De-
cember term Monday morning at the
state capitol and the first docket TAX

Maury county cases heard were:
F. Hanson ct al W.. W. H. James.
Of al

Lon Stages vs.. State, sentenced TO
FIVE years by the lower court SEN
tence affirmed.
I In the case of A. L. Thomas VS.. ].
H. Ramon, the two county election
boards. This case was passed until
another case OF similar nature can
be heard from Davidson county, and
1t was reached this morning and pass
ed until after the holidays.
There are q number of cases to
come up at this term that will be Of
interest to Maury county people, print
cipal among these Is the election
case, on which will hang the question
of all the laws passed by the legisla-
ture when there was no quorum pres
ent.
Next in importance and interest in
this section is the anti-jug law case,
and following this is the case which
involves the control of Vanderbilt
University and was fought for three
months in the chancery court when a
decision favorabel to the bishops was
rendered.
It is more than likely that at this
term also the Bats case will be
heard, together with the question Of
the constitutionality Of the criminal
court.
It has been long time since there
were as many cases In which practi-
cally all Of Maury county was inter
ested.
Only one opinion was rendered:

ORDER TO HOLD UP
TRANSFER 0RD|R TO /.
THE Criminal court
ATTORNEYS FOR FRED HOOD ARE
GRANTED TINE TO PREPARE
A MOTION.
The SAME old QUESTION
The ConstitutionalIty OF the County
Criminal Court May Go to the su-
preme Court In Number OF Liquor
;casea

There Is to be new move on the
part Of the attorneys of Fred Hood
in the cases recently returned against
him charging violation of the liquor
laws There are perhaps twenty cas-
es now pending, including the three
or four that we're in the court before
the meeting Of the last grand jury,
and he Is now under bonds amounting
in the aggregate to $4,000 to the state
for his appearance on the orders OF
the court.
Saturday afternoon before the ad-
journment Of court attorneys for Hood
asked that an order of transfer Of
these cases to the county criminal
docket for trial, which Is the usual
procedure, be held up and that a mo-
ton would be presented later touch
In upon the question of the jurisdic-
ton of the county criminal court
January was set by Jude Turner
to hear the motion. Should this be
overruled. it Is expected that there
will follow an application for an ap-
peal to the supreme court, which, If
ranted, will touch only upon the ques-
ton of jurisdiction solely, and will
settle once and for all this much
mooted question of constitutionality.
The merits Of these cases will In
no wise enter into the matter, the
question of jurisdiction and constitu-
tionality alone being the features of
the hearing before the supreme court
In according with this order the ca
phases following the indictments in
the last report Of the jury are being
held up. The defendant, however. Is
under sufficient bond to insure his
appearance on the order of the. court.

DYNAMITElHURLED
!lN7o PooM IN NH E
RALPH LOPEZ, DEsPERADo, MAY
HAVE ESCAPED FROM UNDER.
GROUND PASSAGE.

BINGHAM, Utah, Dec. 11-sticks of
dynamite were hurled into a room In
the Utah-Apex mine today in which
Ralph Lopez, slayer of six men, is
believed to have crawled, wounded,
dragging his rife behind him.
Tons Of earth and rock choked the
room after the explosion, and tomor-
row work will be begun to clear away
the debris, to learn il the Mexican
desperate finally was trapped. Lopez
was traced to the room along the tun-
mel by impmnts showing that he had
crawled his hands and knees, drag
ging his weapon. Members of the
posse followed the tracks until they
led into the room. There the search
ers knowing the deadly aim of the
Mexican, feared to follow.
Aside from the possibility that the
desperate lay dead in the room, the
sheriff and deputies found nothing to-
day to dispel the belief that Lopez
had escaped before the gases, which
were forced into the mine last week
to asphyxiate him, became overpow-
ering. However the search was pur-
sued vigorously last night, and will
continue until every part of the. mine
has been explored.
The pursuit of Lopez began Nov.
81, when be killed a Mexican miner.
Since then he has killed the chief of
police and four deputy sherirs.

DR.. B|DDLE SAYS
THERE |SNO OCCASION
FOR SMALLPOX ALARM
- OF THE OPINION THAT COLUM-
BiA IS SAFE FROM AN
EPIDEMIC
WOULD ADVISE PROPER CAKI
Columbia Tradesmen Will Be Able to
Supply All That Other Merchants
Could Supply for the Holiday De-
mands.

Speaking Of the smallpox in the city
u Nashville and the probability Of an
spddemic In Columbia, DR.. P. D. Bid
die, the city health officer this morn
ing stated that there was really no
sanse for alarm. though 1t was not al
together beyond possibility. On
having his attention Gale dto the &C
ton Of other towns contiguous to the
capital in their precautionary moves
Aa said:
Yes, l know the other towns are
getting extraordinarily busy just now
regarding all forms of winter oonta.
sfOns, and this Is we'll. but there Is
no cause for excitement In Columbia,
We are 80 constantly and 30 consist
emily on guard against these things
mat ! feel no alarm. OF course peo-
pie who go to Nashville and mix and
mingle with the excessive crowds In
the city and on the trains to and from
the city are open to infection. But
even then there is no reson for az.
element am glad of the opportuni-
" to state that I have a more hearty
cooperation Of the profession in the
efforts to suppress and stamp out all
forms Of contagious diseases than ev.
or before. Should there be a break
ing out Of the disease 1t could be more
easily handled ON this account, and
too from the fact that some ten or
twelve years ago there was a compul.
sorry vaccination of the residents OF
the city, and this in a measure i'm
nunizes them.
1T is gratifying to be able to state
that not only the doctors of the city,
bat the members of the faculties of
the schools are also taking very de-
oided stand for the public health, and
this Is a great help. AS result we
have had no trouble in the schools
with any form Of contagion. such as
has caused decentralization in other
pears.
Notwithstanding these assuring
conditions 1t is always safest not to
hay ones self open to the chance of
Infection. and there is really no rea-
son for Columbians doing 80. True
4 Is season of the year when there
- always more or less of going to the
city, but Columbia and Columbia
tradesmen will be able to do all for
their patrons that can be done for
them anywhere"

SHOCKING CHARGE
AGAINST DOCTORS

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.-Cruelty
to animals by vivisectors and need
less infection Of pain in any other
form were vigorously denounced at
the opening session here today of the
International .Anti-vivisection and An
imal Protection Congress. Speeches
ranged from bitter attack by Ed.
ward H. Clement, OF Boston, president
Of the congress, upon Rockefeller In
stitute experimenters, to denuncia-
ton by Ernest Thompson Seton
against cruel methods of trapping an
imal6.
There Is every reason to believe
that in some hospitals pauper children
are "inocculated with loathsome dis
eases to see the results that will fol-
low" according to a letter from Sen
ator Gallinger, of New Hampshire, a
physician, read before the convention.
The writer added that as chairman
Of a senate committee which had
twice investigated the subject, he
learned that school children often
were taught to infiict needless suf-
fering en- dumb animals to- obsedve
facts that had been proven thousands
Of times" The senator wrote that he
would like to see vivisection put un-
der the strictest legal restrictions.
Frederick P. Bellamy, of Brooklyn,
said one physician had acknowledged
in a recent issue of a medical jour
nal that he ha dsprayed the poison of
smallpox scarlet fever and diptheria
into the threats and lungs Of seven
teen healthy people whom he was
treating. as they supposed, for ca
