ABANDON CONTEST
 ID CONTROL VANDY.
M. E. Commissioners to De- vote Energies to Upbuild
 New College at Atlanta

Memphis, February 20-The educational commission of the Methodist Episcopal church. south, in session here today. decided to abandon the contest for con- trol of Vanderbilt university and to de- vote all it's energies to the upbuilding of the educational institutions to be estab- lished by the church at Atlanta Ga, and Dallas, Tex.
 Claims of the church to jurisdiction over Vanderbilt university were denied by the Tennessee supreme court several years ago and the commission was en- powered by the last general assembly of the church. to finally dispose of the controversy, either by the transfer to the eight original patronizing confer- ences of whatever rights the church might retain and the institution of further lt- igation or by the abandonment of the contest. The latter course was decided upon, the commission finding that. as a result of the decision of the Tennessee court it was wholly without power to transfer anything. either right, title or interest, to the patronizing conferences
 "So believing" the commission declared in resolutions adopted, the commission is unwilling to stultify itself by the ex- ecution of worthless transfer and IS further unwilling to authorize the insti- tuition of any further suits in futile lit igation.'
 But in so doing" the resolutions con- tinue, ''the commission desires to voice a final protest against manipulations by which Vanderbilt has been lost to the church."
 Representatives of the patronizng con ferences attended today's meeting and concurred in the action taken by the commission.
 Bishop Candler of Atlanta, Ga, act ed as chairman of the conference, which adjourned tonight.

They told the governor that Senator Horton has the indorsement of practically every citizen of the county and that his candidacy is viewed with favor throughout the entire chancery division.
 Governor Henderson announced that he
 had MT. Horton's application under con- sderation, and that he would probably
 reach a decision in regard to the matter in the next day or two.
 Several other north Alabama lawyers
 have asked for the vacant judgeship, among them Judge Oceola Kyle of Deca- tur. Others mentioned are w. T. Lowe of Decatur and D. F. Green of Decatur, a member of the state senate.
 Senator Horton will most likely receive the appointment. His friends have been persistent in their efforts to secure the place for him, and, as announced in The Ase-Heral today, his appointment is practically assured.
 E Another, appointment which Governor Henderson will announce in a day or two is that of c. F. Mcintyre as associate judge of the city court of Montgomery, to succeed Judge Armstead Brown. re- signed. MT. Mcintyre is at present a member of the city commission, and he is generally indorsed for the vacant judge ship.
 He was one of the leading Henderson men in Montgomery county, and during the recent campaign, made several speeches in behalf of the present execu-. tive It is practically certain that Gov ernor Henderson will tender him the of flee

COUNSEL TROY
 EXPL ANS HIS EMPL LOYMFNT

Montgomery, February 2o.-tSpecial)
 Daniel W. Troy of Montgomery. special counsel for the state in the collection
 of foreign corporation fees under the
 former administration, this afternoon gave out a statement relative to the terms of his employment, and in answer to reports of examiners of public ac- counts holding the state auditor and treasurer responsible for fees paid him under the terms of his contract.
 Mr Troy shows that he was employed by the former governor in 1911 on the written recommendation of Attorney Gen. eral Robert c. Brckell, his compensation being on the basis of 25 per cent of his collections. He was also employed in other capacities, the sum total of his labors resulting in a collection for the state of $92,552 and for the counties of over $1G,o0o most of which represents 'fcund money for the state.
 In concluding his statement, MT. Troy said: The situation, therefore, is this: My en ployment as mentioned above re- suited in the collection for the state of a total of $92552, and for the counties of over $10,oo0 additional. My compensation was paid me, on a part only of the col lections, not in the manner provided by then existing provisions of law, but un- der this particular section 561 as amend ed. No one has attempted to dispute that l put the money into the treasury, money which would not have been had except for my services, yet under general state ments of illegal payments of counsel fees the impression is given that l have re- ceived something I did not earn. When the precise fact is that if payment had been made in any of three different ways, all perfectly valid, it would have made no difference whether section 561 as was good or not. In other words, I was paid the right fees (when paid) but in the wrong way.
