COUNTY CLASSIFICATION
 BILL CONSTITUTIONAL
Supreme Court Hands Down Opinion on Section Referring to Salaries
 of County Officers.

The supreme court yesterday hand ed down decision that carried with it d construction of the county classi- ficatiOn law of the first session of the state legislature. Tn the county classification law there was provision made for the payment of salaries to the officers of the counties. Under this law there has been much Ob- jectiOn on the part of some of the sheriffs of the state to the bill be- cause, under an agreement in force at the time of the passage of the law, many of them were receiving more salary than allotted them under the law
 Among the sherffs so affected were
 the sheriffs of Maricopa county and Greenlee county. Under the agree
 ment in force prior to the passage of
 the law and effective up to the time
 the law took effect Sheriff Patty of
 Greenlee county received $450O salary
 as sheriff, and when the law went
 into effect his salary was reduced to
 s3600. To this he objected claiming
 that the agreement made under the
 provisions of the constitution was not
 to be effected for him, but for his
 successor it could be made effective. When the month of September came however the board of supervisors un- der the advice of the county attorney refused to longer pay at the advanced rate falling back to the provisions of the county classification law, where upon he sued the board in the superior court, but lost the case
 He thereupon carried the case to the supreme court and has again lost in the opinion handed down yestcr- day. The function of the legislature to increase, fix, or decrease salaries l is wholly left with the legislature. ac- l cOrding to the opinion of the court We think the order and agree ments' of the board of supervisors 1 were intended by the constitution to 1 fill in the hiatus pending Legislation | and that the salary fixed by genera | law is the salary to which the appel | lant is entitled says the court in the 1 closing paragraph. The opinion was l handed down by Judge Henry D 1 Ross. Chief Justice Franklin anc Judge Cunningham concurring.

 Death.

 When the coroner arrived on the scene the body had not become quite rigid It was surmised that death had taken place not long after noon. Whatever mystery there might have been about the case was aVerted by the finding of time book in which the following note had been written, in a business like hand
 ITO Whom It May Concern-Friends and Foes: A life of sadness is about to be eXtinguished. Since October A. 1911, I have sOrrOWed the loss of that which is most dear.

 In the absence of any weapon in the vicinity of the body it is sup posed that poison was the means of death chosen by the young man.

SENT HIS VEAL HI
 10 TIE LAUNDRY
Mistake Out of Which a Cr'm'na'
 Action Has Grown.

Harry Bowen. who is spending the winter in the city, on Tuesday sent s250 in bills to the laundry though thev did not really need renovation The fact that they were not after ward returned, starched and foned led to a criminal prosecution before Justice Johnstone yesterday in which lack Mclaughlin head marker for the Phoenix steam laundry, was the de- fendant
 Bowen kept the money in an inside Docket of an undershirt fastened with safety pins. He was taking bath last Tuesday and while getting out of the tub he fell striking it with his side suffering great pain. The pain made him forget the money and he rolled up the clothing and sent it to the laundry.
 That afternoon he went to Winkel- man returning on Wednesday when for the first time he thought of his money. He went to the laundry and the manager found the undershirt still not quite dry The pocket had disa appeared and in place of it was a hole.
 The arrest of Mclaughlin followed the statement of IgnaciO Garcia, who works in another department. He said that he was standing in the rear of Mclaughlin. who was sorting out the clothes passing them to the marker. He said that he saw him once put his hand into his hip pocket and then resume his work.
 Other witnesses for the state who were working with Mclaughlin said that they did not see a shirt with a pocket such as had been described they did not see Mclaughlin do any thing unusual in the course of his work and they said that if he had stopped long enough to remove safety pins from the pocket of a shirt and take roll of bills from it, they would have noticed it.
 Mclaughlin himself said that it was his business to unfasten the packages of the clothes and pass them along to the markers. He handled several thousand pieces a day and had time only to notice their kind He had knife with which to cut the strings of packages and he frequently put this knife into his hip pocket He might he said have done so or have been reaching for it at the time Garcia saw that motion.
 The case was not concluded yester- day but was continued until this after noon when there will be three or fOuI witness for rebuttal for the state.

MRS. ALSOP SAYS
ITS ALL WRONG
She WASN'T DRUNK

Atlanta, Dec. 15.-Pretty Mrs. Effie
Pope Alsop, Georgia society girl, who
married the aged New York million
aire, is visiting friends in Atlanta, and
denies as grossly exaggerated the re-
ports which were published in all the
papers about her sensational arrest
and escapade in the night court of
New York City.
1t will be recalled that Mrs. Alsop
was charged with being intoxicated
and refusing to pay her taxicab driver.
She says that the intoXication part OF
lit was absolutely untrue, and that the
other part of her embarrassment was
due entirely to the stupidity of the
taxi driver who didn't know lady
when he saw one.

DICK" RUSSELL WILL
HAVE To GIVE Up TO
TO FATHER OF TWENTY

Atlanta, Dec. 15.-Georgia lays claim
tc ehlargest family in the land. 1t is
not Judge Dick" Russell's well-known
family of fourteen, either.
Joseph Peters, Of Catoosa county, 4
prosperous and highly regarded farm
er who lives about three miles from
Ringgold, is the proud father of twenty
children, all of whom are alive and
WELL and nearly all of whom are still
on the old home plantation.
Mr.. Peters is the ideal father, ac-
cording to the old patriarchal ideals,
and according TO the anti-race suicide
notions for which Col. Roosevelt is
famous.
Eighteen of the children Mr. Peters
had by his first wife, a well known
Georgia woman, who died few years
ago. By his second wife he has had
two.
One of the most remarkable features
of the family is the fact that among
the twenty children there is not a
single pair of twins.
Can any other state in the union beat
