Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 13.-Hon.
Newton H. White, former speaker of
the senate, three times a member of
that body and one of the most promi-
nent democrats in Tennessee, today
rendered his resignation as a member
OF the senate and announced his re-
tirement to private life.
In taking this action, which created
decided sensation, Mr.. White read
a lengthy statement, the pith of his
grievance being the recent act, passed
over his strenuous protest, taking
large portion of Giles county away
and attaching it to Marshall county.
Mr.. White has long been prominent
in the public life of the state. He is
sturdy and somewhat picturesque
figure, in personal appearance bear
ing a somewhat striking resemblance
to Abe Lincoln. He is now and has
always been a farmer with politics
purely side line.
The first experience in public life
of the statesman from Giles was his
election as a member of the county
court, an Office that ne now holds. In
1897 he was appointed by Gov. Tay-
lor . member of the state railroad
commission, his colleagues being the
late Judge Ernest L. Bullock and
Frank M. Thompson, the latter being
attorney general of the state. Being
defeated for reelection Mr.. White
was elected in 1898 a member of the
house and two years later was elect
ed to the senate and made speaker.
In 1906, when the late Mel McKen-
zie died. Gov. Cox appointed Mr..
White to the railroad commission, but
| he declined to stand for reelection.
| He was elected again to the senate
I'm 1912 and was made speaker in
1918. He was reelected in 1914 a
member of the senate as an inde-
pendent democrat. Educated at Gull
leoka, Senator White was a school
mate of the late Senator Carmack
and was always a devoted follower
of the great Tennessean.

BUTLER AND BEALE
BURGLAR ARRESTED
AND NOW IN JAIL
SHARP WORK BY COLUMBIA AND
NASHVILLE OFFICERS GETS
GEORGE MOODY.
nov IN The COUNTY BASTILE
Arrested Wednesday Afternoon Near
the City Limits of Nashville With
Sack of Stolen Property, Valued at
$50, Upon His Person.

Score another for the officers of
Maury and Davidson counties.
George Moody, colored, thirty years
of age, and an eliminate of the state
penitentiary at Nashville, is today in
the Jail of Maury county for having
broken into and stolen from the store
of Butler & Beale Wednesday morn
ing.
The arrest of Moody was one of the
neatest pieces of work that has been
done by the local officers in a long
time. His apprehension was due to
the quick and vigorous work of Sher-
iff Griffin after he had secured clew
to the identity of the burglar.
AS the sheriff went up on the train
to Carriers Creek Wednesday morn
ing to investigate the robbery, he
told George Corbett, the conductor, of
the affair. Just above Carter's Creek
at Cleburne Station, suspicious
looking negro got on the train and
presented ticket to Nashville. In
stead of going all the way into Nash
vile on it, he got off at Calender
above Franklin. AS the train came
! out from Nashville in the afternoon,
Mr.. Corbett notice the same negro
walking on his way into Nashville.
AS soon as he got to Columbia he no
titled Special officer Roy Rigsby, who
at once got in communication with
Sheriff Griffin. The latter telephoned
at once to Sheriff Longhurst and
Chief of Detectives SideBottom to
look out for the negro and to catch
him if possible, when he got to the
city limits Mr.. Griffin also sent his
deputy, Lunce Church, to Nashville
on No. 2 to handle the affair for him
as he himself did not have time to
catch the train mere.
The Nashville officers apprehended
the negro when he reached the Ten.
nessee Central Railroad crossing
about mile from Nashville. The Of
ficers making the arrest were Patrol
man Walsh and Deputy Sheriff Webb
He was taken into Nashville, where
he was held until Mr.. Church arriv
ed to take possession of him. He was
brought back to Columbia Wednes
day night on the 1927 train and
lodged in the Jail.
Moody, when arrested, had on him
sack in which were eleven pairs Of
shoes and a number of other articles
of merchandise. The value OF all his
stolen goods was estimated to be
about $50.
Moody has had more or less ex
tended career in jails and worl
houses. He had but recently finished
, working out a fine for vagrancy il
the city, while some years ago ne wal
caught and convicted Of having brok
en- into~the house Of Meade Frierson
He served about two and one-hal
years in the state penitentiary. II
view of this kind of a record, it Il
, pretty likely that he will be given TIN
. limit when he comes to trial.
) There have been a number OF rob
berries around Carriers Creek in tn
last year or two, and the officers ar
inclined to believe that they hav
o landed the guilty party in Moody |
! is hoped that his apprehension vii
= put an end to these thieveries.
