NEW DECATUR

New Decatur. May u.-(Special)-Deh- nite decision to continue the New De- catur public schools until the end of the present term was reached at the meet ing last night of the city council The council voted to borrow the sum of slOoO needed to make up the deficit in the school appropriation. At a previous meet ing the condition of the treasury had been such that the council had declined to make arrangements to secure other funds, ana it was expected that the schools would close at once. Since that time the board of education has met, and at its request the council concluded to prolong the term by borrowing the necessary funds.
 An ordinance regulating the operation of jtney busses was recommended ad- versely by the police committee, while the finance committee declined to sanction a companion ordinance that provided for the payment of $75 license tax by the nickel autos. This is believed to insure tho life of the jitneys here until after the converting of the legislature in July, when 1t is believed state legislation for the regulation and licensing of jtneys will be attempted.

 at Flint, a small town three miles south of here. The damage is estimated at about 5000.

Shee- han, democratic candidate for United States senator in 1911, and Francis Lynde Stetson. former law partner of Grover Cleveland, testified in the supreme court here today in behalf of William Barnes, in his libel suit against Theodore Roose- welt They were called after Justice Will liam S. Andrews had ruled that evidence given in Justification of the printing sit uation in Albany was incompetent and that the jury would be instructed to dis. regard it.
 Stetson said he had called upon Barnes as a representative of the so-called in- surgents in the state senate when in 1911 that body deadlocked over selection of 5 United States senator to succeed Chaun- cey Nj. Depew. He swore that Barnes had expressed himself as against the se lection of Martin w. Littleton. because he thought MT. Littleton might at any time become identified with Tammans Hall"
 Sheehan told of talking to Charles F Murphy of Tammany Hall about his can didacy. He said that he considered Mur- phy a leader of the democratic party in New York county, but had not re- garded him a leader of the party in the state.
