Attacks Criminal Procedure.

Speaker Anderson of the senate left
his seat to advocate the adoption of
an innocent looking resolution, and
before he had finished he had lifted
the members from their seats also.
Briefly, he wanted to know where
the money goes that the state pays
out for costs in criminal procedure
1t was a simple question, but 1t opened
up subject that may prove exceed
ingly embarrassing to somebody be-
fore this investigation shall have fin
ished.
During the past two years the state
of Tennessee has received from the
clerks of the various judicial circuits
in fees due the state as it's share Of
the costs in prosecutions a total Of
$25,391.
The amount paid out by the state
during this period was $342, 490.36 for
criminal prosecutions. 1t might be said
that this represents an increase over
the two years before of $16,622,95.
1t is claimed that persons convicted
of crime In many of the counties are
sentenced to the county roads or work
house, there to work out fines and
costs. But the clerks, Notwithstanding
the convictions, do not come under
the observation of the state, collect
the costs from the state. There may
be reasonable explanation, but not
a member of the senate offered one.
The strange part of the affair is that
the bigger the amount paid by the
state for the prosecution the less the
county's return to the state.
In this matter it appears that Shelby
county is the general offender. Shelby
led by almost double every county in
the state, with the exception Of Da-
wilson, in the sum received of the
state.

TEuToN's LOSSES nv FRANCE
HAVE BEEN HEAvY-BERLlN
CLAIMS SUCCESS.
ALL ATTACKS REPuLsED
Paris Says All Offensive Movements
Of Allies Gain Ground-German
Bring Troops to Strengthen
Their Line.

London.-Although no big battles, as
battles 20 In this war, have been
fought of late, there have been en-
gagements In all the arenas from Ash
attic Turkey to the English Channel,
In which the losses In men and ma
terial probably have been greater in
the aggregate than In many Of the bat
ties of history.
y According to French reports, Ger
man attacks against the allied lines in
Flanders, France and Alsace for three
days cost them 10000 men, to which
must be added the losses suffered In
repeated attacks on the Russian In
trenchments in Central Poland.
All attacks In the west, the allies
announcements say, failed except near
Craonne, where it is admitted the
French lost 800 men, largely because
of the collapse of an old quarry.
The Germans, on the other hand, as
sert that they inflicted severe defeat
on the French at Craonne and that
they repulsed all French attacks in
the Vosges and Upper Alsace, with
heavy losses.
While 1t Is evident these attacks and
counter-attacks cost both sides heavily,
they made no great difference in the
relative positions of the opposing ar
mics. They convey the intimation,
however, that the Germans by no
means have given up the idea Of de-
livering a smashing blow at the allied
armies.
With the approach Of dry weather
and the consequent hardening of the
ground, they brought up new troops
with the intention Of getting in their
blow before the full strength Of the
Anglo-French forces was ready to meet
them. Thus far they have made little,
IL any, headway, but, undismayed, are
sending still more troops through Bel
GUM to Ypres and La Bassee, where
earlier in the winter they attempted
to break their way through to the
coast. Knowing, as they must, that
the Anglo-French armies have been
greatly strengthened since then, they
themselves must have increased their
striking power.
The allies, however, are confident
of their ability to hold the present
lines and move forward when all prep
arations are completed.

ters In the Carpathians, where the
Austro-G Germans have brought up new
armies to oppose the Russian invasion
of Hungary. According to announce
ments in Vienna they have recaptured
some of the passes the Russians were
holding in strength.
While the Russians do not relish CIV
ing up any ground gained, they declare
this is compensated by the fact that
their aggressiveness has compelled the
Austro-Ger to postpone the expe-
dition they were preparing to crush
Servia. Russia hopes Roumania, with
her financial position guaranteed by
the recent London loan of $25, 100000,
soon will send her army into the field
and form the missing link between
Russia and Servia.

Custer Bill Passes.


Gov. t. c. Rye approved the Elkins
custer bill, which was returned to the
senate, where it originated. Speaker
Anderson announced in open session
that he had signed the bill With the
approval of the governor and the sig
nature of the speaker the measure be-
comes law effective Immediately.
Speaker Andersen kept the senate
in session purposely, in order that he
might approve the bill and that 1t
might become law without waiting
until the legislature reconvenes after
recess.
The Elkins custer bill passed in the
house without departing one jot or
little from the measure as it passed
in the senate. 1t will become law
when the signature of the governor
is appended and it is not believed that
he will refuse to sign it. In the event
of veto the legislature would, in Its
present frame of mind, pass the bill
again.

Regarding the conference and what
it will probably lead to in the course
of another year, Mr.. Blakey said:
Il have just finished visiting the 10
schools in West Tennessee which will
be represented. We have not in
cluded Memphis in the conference, be-
cause Memphis possibly will hold an
other sectional conference of its own.

JEROME FIRED FROM CASE
Nine Years Unrelenting Pursuit OF
Harry Thaw Ended by Attorney.

Harry Kendall Thaw's nemesis, was
removed from his position of special
encouragement of the state of New
York, by Acknowledgement Egbert E.
Woodbury. and at once ceased his
fight to have Thaw sent back to Mat
tewan.
Just why Jerome was removed Is
open to much conjecture. Jerome says
that he was tired of the case, shrank
from the publicity 1t entailed and had
grown sensitive to the calumny of the
crowds who cheered Thaw as perse-
cuted hero and hooted his prosecutor
as little old man of the sea.
The reasons that actuated Attorney
General Woodbury. are embodied in the
telegram Of dismissal which he sent
to Jerome. The telegram reads:
you and Mr.. Kennedy ought to be
congratulated upon the successful
elimination of your efforts for the re-
turn of Harry X. Thaw to the rightful
jurisdiction Of the courts of this state.
In this accomplishment you have full
filled the purpose of your designation
as special deputy attorney general.
The case will now be handled by the
attorney-generaIs office through F.

by the district attorney of New York
County, where the indictment against
Thaw for conspiracy to escape was
found.
