ROGERS WILL TEST
 S24,712 WARRANT Board of Revenue Decides This Is Best Way to Settle
 Copeland Matter

Mandamus proceedings will be instituted against C. B. Rogers county treasurer. by w. B. Copeland, clerk of the criminal court. to compel the payment of the warrant issued yesterday by the board of revenue for s24.712.sS, alleged to be due the criminal court for costs in cases where convicts have been sentenced to work the county roads. The suit will be of a friendly nature and is tos test the validity of a bill recently enacted pro- viding for the payment of the costs Of the county convicts on the county roads, namely April 1. 1913.
 MT. Rogers states that he has been ad- vised by his attorney not to honor the warrant until the matter has been passed upon by the courts. and it is understood the constitutionality of the bill will be one of the points raised.
 The claim was presented to the board of revenue several days ago and on the advice of their attorney 1t was turned down. MT Rogers states that the issuance of the warrant yesterday by the board of revenue was not changing of the re- sponsibility on him as he informed the board that the matter would have to be tested in the courts before he would honor the warrant, and that the action of the board simplified the matter.
 In this connection the impression is out that the above amounts goes to the clerk of the criminal court. As a matter of fact it includes all the costs, sheriff's fees solicitors fees, county fund, witness fees and all costs collectable against convicted prisoner
