J therefore, / take it that the Legis

give them local option, high license
and segration. AS the Legislature
will not be disposed to modify the
law to suit the citizens of Memphis
it certainly ought to provide ade-
quate means and agencies for the
enforcement of the Prohibition law
in this hostile community.
My one county detective Che is

mastery cannot sit on the chests of
"a square miles of territory, operat-
ing under the encouragement and
700 saloonists scattered throughout
protection of the Memphis police de-
partment.
There are about $50 policemen
and detectives in the city of Mem
phis. The police, acting under the
orders of Mayor Crump, not only
have neglected, and are now neg

law, but they have actively tried to
crush and defeat every effort my of

bition law.

there are $50 policemen and city.
detectives. There are $50 police
men and city detectives because, it
takes $50 policemen and city de-
tectives to adequately police a city
the size of Memphis. My one de-
tective cannot do the work of 1870
policemen and city detectives, par
ticularly when he is actively OPP
posed by the police department.
Enforcing the Prohibition law in
Memphis, with the police aiding,
encouraging and giving support to
the saloonists, is very much like
having ISL men in a military camp
an enemy, where only one
of the ISL is loyal and the other $50
are traitors.
Since March 1 my office, with one
detective, and actively opposed by
the police department, has secured
$50 injunctions in the Chancery
Court and III in the Criminal
Court-a total of 497.
We have convicted As saloonists,
and 16 of these have appealed to
higher court. Thirty were sent out
to the work house, and the work
house commissioner, acting at the
request of the City Administration,
made things easy and pleasant for
he saloon prisoners. Of course, the
'efusal of the work house commits
'ioner to make the saloonists do
lard work almost emasculates work
house sentences.
l ask the Legislature of the State
II Tennessee to take over the police
department. of the city of Memphis,
ind thus remove $50 armed traitors
rom the camp of law enforcement

M'DERMoTT CASE CONTINUED
ATTORNEY PROTESTS


Immediate trial for Anna Zipman,
who shot and wounded Aid. Frank
McDermott at the entrance to the
council chambers several weeks ago,
was demanded of Judge PrindiYiIle
by the woman's attorney, Emile Van
Bever, who became incensed when
attorneys for McDermott attempted
to stall the case off once more.
Miss Zipman, who is the mother of
a baby of which she claims McDer-
mott is the father, also says the aid
erman married her in Michigan. This
he denies.
Since the shooting the case has
been continued several times on the
excuse that McDermott is too i'll from
the effects to appear. Van BeVeT
made the statement that since the
shooting the alderman has entirely
recovered and took an active part in
the recent primary. The case was
finally set for tomorrow.

WON'T TELL
THE AMOUNT

Colonel Zinn, United States engi-
neer in charge of channel work at
Philadelphia, has sent to Washington

that will be needed during the year
for prosecution of work upon the 35-
foot channel in the Delaware.
General d. c. Kingman, chief Of
engineers. will receive similar reports
from other projects. He then will de-
eide what allotment Philadelphia shall
have in the $25.000,000 appropriation
for rivers and harbors that passed the
last session of Congress. Colonel
Zinn declined to say how much he had
asked for, preferring, he said, to wait
until the allotment had been made
before making his recommendation
public.
General Kingman has promised that
Philadelphia shall not suffer. The $685.
000O0O appropriation is a reduction
from the original amount of $37 ,500,-
600 contained in the rivers and har-
bors bill Under the original bill
the Delaware river was to receive
81 100000.
AS under the s25,OOO,OOO appropri-
alton the engineers will be forced 70
cut their estimates about one-quarter
the Delaware river should receive
about $1.125.000. AS on February l
there was an unexpended balance OF
S712.011 from previous appropriations
the Delaware river work should have
about S1,S35000 for the next fiscal
year.

CLERK QUESTION

SETTLE QUESTION
AT CONFERENCE

The Levy Court will meet tomorrow
TO discuss the question of clerks in the
Court House offices. Prior TO adjourn
ment OF the meeting yesterday after
noon Clerk of the Peace Harry \. Brown
informed the court that it will be nee
cssary to employ number of extra
clerks after April !. These clerks will
make up the duplicate assessments and
the tax collectors books for the year.
Commissioner Burris moved that the
matter be referred to the finance COM
mittee.
Mr.. Smith objected to the motion as
the clerks are an absolute necessity.
Mr.. Scott stated that the finance
committee had no report to make re-
garding extra clerks.
Commissioner Fouracre remarked
that some time ago the court had
adopted a resolution to the effect that
if the Legislature did not legalize the
employment of the extra clerks in the
county offices that the court should
dismiss them after February 2S, but
as the Legislature did legalize them
il was up to the county to pay them,
and no question should be raised
about paying them. Mr.. Fouracre
added that he had made inquiries
about the various county Offices and
had found that all the extra clerks
who arc employed are being kept very
busy. He stated that Recorder of
Deeds A. " Lesley George had in
formed him that the extra clerks in
his Office we're working steadily and
that the work in that Office was about
two weeks behind. The other county
officials he had spoken to had also
informed him that they we're busy
and that they could not possibly get
along without the extra clerks.
Chairman Purks replied that when
the Legislature passed the law author
izing the employment of the extra
clerks, that the employment of such
clerks was automatically made legal
lie reminded the court that they had
adopted a resolution TO the effect that
they would not employ the extra
clerks at that time as well as at the
present time. ITO dispose of the mat
