VERDICT FOR $4,000
DAMAGES FOR MISS JAY

Chicago, June IL. "A verdict
awarding $4,000 damages to
Miss Georgia Jay against Homer
Rodeheaver, choir master for

breach of promise to marry was
returned today by a jury in the
circuit court.
Miss Jay alleges that she met
Rodeheaver in Iowa; that they
became friends and that he pro-
posed marriage to her and was
accepted. Later she declared he
refused to marry her because
marriage would interfere with
his career. Taxicab rides, long
strolls and discussion of future
plans figured largely in the tes-
6imony of Miss Jay.
Evidence was presented show
ing that Rodeheaver was paid

ferring the latter site owing to
Il, peculiar fitness and location.
DR.. Hicks was favorably inn
pressed with Paris and invited a

Gallatin Pike and investigate the
merits Of such an institution. 1t
is his purpose, he states, to es-
tablish this sanitarium in Paris

A difficulty between Clerk and

editor of the Paris Post Intelli-
gencer, and Representative Hon.
W. E. Weldon, occurred in the
formers Office at the court house
about 8 o'clock Thursday morn

ously for Mr.. Weldon. The facts
leading up to the trouble, which
were obtained from a reliable
source. are about as follows:
Some days since Mr.. Weldon,
who is a candidate for reelection
as Representative, authorized Ri
son, through his (Rison's) fore
man, Mr.. L. A. Woodson, to place
his announcement in the Post
Intelligencer; that he was going
out of town for a few days and
would call and settle for same up

ever, returned home sooner than
he expected and Thursday morn
ing while on his way up town
he met Mr.. Woodson going to
breakfast. Naturally Mr.. We'll

formed by Woodson that he had
been given specific instruction by

NUISANCE ACT VALID
SAYS SUPREME COURT

Tennessee's nuisance" act,
as passed by the last legislature,
was held by the state supreme
court to be constitutional in
practically every particular in an
opinion handed down Saturday.
The decision was given by
Justice Buchanan on a test case
taken up from Chancellor Fem
tress' court, the constitutionali-
ty of the act being questioned
by j. ]. Persica, manager of the
Park hotel bar at Memphis.
By its ruling the supreme
court upholds Chancellors Fem
and Heiskell, who ruled that the
act was valid both in its provis-
ions and the method by which it
was passed.
The case against J. J. Persica
and his associate, J. T. Lynch,
was the first to be brought in
Shelby county under the "nui-
sance" act. The defendants as
operatives of the Park hotel bar
were the initial target for an in
junction bill under the act.
Their place was closed by injunc-
tion proceedings which were con
sequently instituted against them
BY Attorney-Gener Estes on
the grounds that they had viola
ted the injunction. The court
found them both guilty and SEN
fenced each to six months in the
workhouse.
