That ''the blatant clamor for the chiefs

Resentenced

Ida Mansfield, a white woman about 20
years old, was fined $3.50 and 30 days
Yesterday by Judge II. B. Abernethy of

consent of Solicitor Heflin she was pa
rolled on good behavior by the governor.
She admitted the disorderly conduct, but
denied positively that she was under the

MOVING PUBLICITY
LAWS DEFEATED
Wanted Police to Keep
Record of Changed
Addresses

With Mr. Exum and Mr.. weatherly vot-
ing NO and Judge Lane registering
"Yes," the proposed furniture ordinance"
requiring all persons who move from one
place to another in this community to
report to the police was defeated.
Following speeches delivered by furni-
ture dealers, real estate men and others,
the commissioners without the loss of any
time Immediately rejected the proposed
law. II was proposed that all draymen
and transfer agents when they remove
one family from one place to another be
required to report that fact to the police
department. Although no one appeared
in opposition to the ordinance, 1t was
doomed for defeat In "a hours after be-
ing introduced some 10 days ago.
The furniture dealers we're represented
by counsel who told the commissioners
that many lines of business besides the
credit system would welcome this pro-
posed bureau of information where
close track could be kept on anyone who
had purchased furniture in the city. Be-
fore the ordinance was defeated President
Exum said III you want an effective or
dinance to check these alleged bad credit
fellows. why not have real estate agents
report the houses they rent, the name of
the tenent and the address? That would
serve the same purpose. / am opposed to
this proposition because / think it is un-
necessary and will cause statements to
be made by some unreliable draymen who
will oftentimes report whatever name is
given by person moving. On the other
hand, if you want solid foundation for
this proposition. arrange to have reports.

then be in position to give 1t proper con-
sideration."
Mr. Weatherly said that he believed
the city had too many laws it was.
The position of Judge Lane was that no
honest person would object to having
his movements known.
The Retail Furniture Dealers associa-
tion offered to furnish clerical help for
the proper maintenance Of the records,
but that did not appeal to the majority
of the commissioners. The delegation
was numerically the strongest one that
has appeared at the city hall in some
weeks.

CONFER ASKS FOR
TAX REDUCTION
Represents to Commissioners That
Excessive Tax Is Levied Against
AvOndale Cotton Mill

Former Governor B. B. Conner appeared
yesterday before the commission in an
effort to get reduction of tax placed
on the property of the Avondale cotton
mill. The appearance of Governor Conner
yesterday is the second time he has been
before the commissioners since they as
sumed office. The first time which was
one year ago he was successful, and it
is taken that his license tax will again
be reduced. Governor Conner demon
strated to the commission by compari-
sons how much excess tax he paid.
In addition to Governor Conner, repre-
sentatives from local business colleges
called to get reductions. Talks were made
by r. w. Massey and w. ]. Wheeler on
the proposition of exempting their col
leges from taxation on the ground that
they were educational institutions. No
decision was reached.
The plumbers of the city also called
asking for a reduction while the usual
routine was transacted by the commits

The property is called the key lot
of that block. BY acquiring that plot the
Fies interests join up with property they
have long owned, which faces on Fourth
avenue and goes back to the alley. With
this additional site the Fies' interests
will be in position to improve their

Mr.. Gambill said yesterday when he
