SPLENDID PROGRESS
MADE PAST MONTH N
THE CITY SCHOOLS
WORK UPON THE ANDREWS
SCHOOL ADDITION is ALSO
PROCEEDING.
UNDER COVER BY NOVEMBER IS
Expected That Key viii Be Turned
on Job by January I, and That the
Children Will Go Into 1t After the
Christmas Holidays.

A splendid attendance at the city
schools, fine work, and good progress
were reported by Prof R. L. Harris
at the monthly meeting of the city
board of education Thursday even
Ing.
Prof. Harris said that the work for
the past month of October had been
exceedingly good, that the attendance
had been increased over the month
previous, and that everything had
been very satisfactory in all of the
schools, both white and colored.
The work upon the Andrews build
ing has been especially satisfactory.
The weather has been very favorable
for outdoor work, and if it will but
continue this way for the next two
weeks, all of the addition to the build
ing will be under cover. The work
will be pushed as much as possible
in order that this may be accomplish
ed, as rains and cold weather cannot
affect the work after the roof is once
on the buildings. 1t is expected that
the key will be turned on the job by
January 1 or sooner, and that the chill
dren will be able to go into the addi-
ton after the Christmas holidays.
All reports Of the committees were
, ratified, and all bills properly pre-
sented were o. k'ed and passed to the
board of mayor and aldermen this
evening for payment.

BOWEN TOO HEAVY
FOR THE CADETS
BATTLE GROUND ACADEMY WILL
BE PLAYED AT FRANKLIN
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

The heavy weight of the Bowen
team proved too much for the C. M.
A. Cadets Saturday in Nashville, and
the result was that they went down
in defeat. The score was Is to 6,
the Nashville team making two touch.
downs and one drop kick from the 40
yard line. The young soldiers scor.
ed only one touchdown, Whatley
catching the ball in mid field and
running through the whole Bowen
team. He was the star of the G. M.
A. team, although he was handicap
ped by an injury, which slowed him
up very considerably.
The young soldiers played splendid
football in spite of the factthat they
were still much the worse for wear
from the game the week be-
fore with Massey at Pulaski, and
were outweighed several pounds to
the man. The back field was minus
the services of McAdams, who was
out from injuries.
The team Is not discouraged as a
result of the game, as they knew that
they were going to face a heavier
eleven. They went in with the inten-
ton of conserving their strength and
the men for the Sewanee Military
Academy game, which will probably
be played here on Nov. 81. This will
be the big game of the year for the
locals, and they are bending all their
energies to be in readiness for it.
The next game will be with Battle
Ground Academy at Franklin next
Thursday afternoon. This will be of
considerable interest, as the two
schools have always been strong ri
walls.

the secretary, that in past outbreaks
where but one animal was infected
the entire herd in almost all cases
contracted the sickness. While the
mortality is not high the effects of
the disease even on animals that re-
cover are such as to make them prac'
tically useless.
1T is possible to cure the external
symptoms, but during the process OF
attempting to cure one sick animal
the chances are that hundreds of 9th.

of killing of single animal in herd
was tried in an outbreak and did not
prove effective.
Veterinary authorities of the Unit
ed States are agreed that the only
method of combating the disease is
to stop all movement of stock and
material which have been subjected
to any danger of infection, and to kill
off without delay all herds in which
the disease has gained any foothold

SUES THE
INSURANCE

DER ENDEAvoRs TO COLLECT
HER POLICY

Santa Fe. April Sensational in
the extreme are the allegations Of
the answer to the suit Of Hal H.
Major and A. Mitchell Major, min
or, by H. H. Major. his next friend
VS.. The New York Life Insurance
company, to recover on two insur-
ance policies for $2,5OO each on the
life of H. Eudora Major.
The answer Of the insurance COM
pany among other things, alleges,
That said death Of H. Eudora Major
was caused by arsenical poisoning,
said death from arsenical poisoning
having resulted directly from poison
administered to her by the plaintiff,
Hal H. Major, for tne purpose and
with the deliberate intent of causing
her death, so that ne, the said HAL H.
Major, could and would become the
beneficiary Of the two policies sued
upon"
The suit was brought in the Third
judicial district and was removed
from the state to the federal court
upon an order Of Judge d. L. Medler
granting the petition Of the defendant
for such removal as the amount in
voiced exceeds $4,000 and the suit is
between persons Of different states.
The complaint sets forth that the
policies were taken out August 2
1912, upon the life Of either Hal H.
Major, H. Eudora Major and A. Nit
chell Major. On HSscember Is Of the
same year, H. Eudora Major died ant
the company refused to pay the pol
icies.
Attached to the complaint is sti
pulation and agreement reciting tina
! the said Hal H. Major is indebte,
to Jessie P. harrington Of Sumne
county, Kansas, for $S71,S2; to Fran
!, L. Sanford, Denver, for s17059 an
Lee Harlan Of Ell Paso for $47S an
: they are to be paid out Of the pre-
> ceeds of the suit
Z The insurance company in its al
I swer denies that the policies were i
q full force and effect on December II
!. 1912, and asserts that they were rel
I dered null and void and Of no effec
. by the acts Of the plaintiff, Hal f
5 Major and that the proof did not COZ

4 The reply Of the plaintiff, H f
Major, specifically and categorical
/ denies the allegations in the answer

Tauperts' Report Of His
Two Years as Mayor

A serious handicap in municipal af-
fairs is the lack of personal interest
taken by the citizens in actual city
government. A strong inclination ex-
lists to delegate the work of city man
agement to politicians and not con
slider it of sufficient personal interest
to even keep informed of what is be-
ing done, what it costs and Of the
benefit to be derived. Probably no
administration of our city has been
subjected, to as much press and per-
sonal criticism as has the one just
ending. In the main the criticism has
been unusual in its nature, as the
general claim has been made that too
much has been done. Myself and the
four councilmen who took office with
me were elected on citizens ticket,
and politics has never entered into ad-
ministrative affairs.
The first problem was cleaning the
city and improving its sanitation
There need be no further comment
upon this matter than that during the
first two months, 1000 loads Of man
ure. ashes. cans and other unsightly,
as well as disease breeding trash
we're hauled out of the city. Thls
work was done in connection with tne
street improvement and returning
teams brought cinders for the streets
and for this reason, the 1,2OO-odd dol
lars expended at this time should no'
be charged up wholly to the cleaning
campaign.
Facing the problem Of policing tht
city during the training and date o.
the Flvnn. johnson contest, the police
department with an increased force
kept the city free from tramps anc
unemployed strangers for the full per
iod up to July 4, and as many as 81
of these followers of the event were
induced to leave the city in a singlf
dav Through an arrangement witt
the secret service of the Santa FF
company 20 metropolitan officers were
assigned here for duty, the only ex
pense to the city being meals anC
rooms. amounting to something lik'
$50. All infractions of the law dur
ing this period were of local talen
and were prosecuted. The report Q
the police committee shows that afte
oil bills we're paid, the special priv
leges fines, forfeited bonds, ETC., net

There having been no audit made Q

en- one, the water and light committee
spent much time in seeking to cover
the whole city with the amount avail
able for this purpose, and finally
through the cooperation Of the light
company by their donating sufficient
lights to complete the system, were
able to secure the present satisfactory
arrangement of covering the whole
city with light.
The water contract having expired
during the previous administration,
the committee undertook to secure a
more favorable contract for the city,
this having covered such a long period
of time it would be impossible to give
more than a brief statement of the
claims Of the committee. On a prev
ious occasion in renewing a contract
the water company remitted to the
city the sum of over $1,000 in com
promise of new contract.
The Aqua Pura company is doing
business in the City Of Las Vegas
without a franchise from the city, but
under an old county franchise and
city contract in fiveyear periods. The
amount Of money paid into the City
of Las Vegas by the Aqua Pura Com
pany for the year of 1912 in taxes
was under $500.
The Aqua Pura Company pays no
occupation or merchandise license
The upbuilding of Las Vegas means as
much or more to the Aqua Pura Com
pany than any institution in the city
The company was asked 90 accept
a contract for $1,25O per year for fur
nishing the city water in lieu Of 5000

contribution to the Improvement fund
At first the company flatly refused to
make any concession, later refusing to
sign a contract for S1,5OO, but appar
