MEMPHIS PASSES
DRYEST SUNDAY
POLICEMEN WORK WITH A VEN
CANOE AND THE LID is EF.
FECTIVELY KEPT DOWN.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. Mem.
phis passed the dryest Sunday in her
history yesterday. Places OF former
saloonists who had been operating
behind closed doors with lookouts,
and whose places were alleged to
have been ignored by the city police
department, we're all closed.
The Memphis police department fol-
the first time since the state wide
prohibition law was passed, went to
work with vengeance, and their &C
tivity prevented many tits in the lid
which had been expected. Only two
arrests were made up to a late hour
last night where liquor selling was
charged. Fifty dollar forfeits were
required in both cases.
Mayor CrumD and Police Commits
sioner Utley were personally in ev.
cry part of the town some time dur
ing the day seeing to 1t that the law
Is observed.
The mayor is quoted as saying that
he intends to enforce the law to the
letter as the voice Of the legislature
and the people Of Tennessee are in
earnest in regard to reinforcement
In addition to drinking places pool
rooms were closed today.

CUSTER BILL.
DEFEAT FOR CRUnP DELEGATION
After Amendment Striking Out Free

Act As Passed BY Senate Goes
Through by Vote Of II to 10.
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 29-By
vote of fifty-one to forty-fve the
house Of representatives late yester-
day afternoon tabled the Rye-Stanton
amendment to the custer bill that
would have stricken from that splen-
did law enforcement measure one of
the most vital principles. 1t was this
! vote that tabled the proposed amend
ment adopted by the judiciary COM
mitted and urged by the Shelby, Da-
wilson and Hamilton county delega-
lions. In spite of the influence Of the
state administration and strenuous
appeals to stand by the governor, a
large number of democrats stood true
to their platform pledges and insisted
upon giving the people an custer law
with real teeth in 1t.
Speaker Cooper voted to override
the governor and stand by the origi-
nal bill and large number Of regu-
lar democrats did the same thing.
The republicans and independents, in
Guiding Denton and Long, Of Maury
equity, stood solidly with those who
insisted upon preserving the Elkins
law just as it had passed the senate.
After the emasculation amendment
had been tabled the bill was passed
by vote Of seventy-seven to nine
teen, most of the opposition votes
coming from the delegations from
the law defying cities.
This is the first time since the leg
islature convened that the wishes Of
the governor have been set aside and
overridden, and 1t indicates deter
mination upon the part of the MAORI
ty to enact real and vital law enforce
ment measures. The proposed
amendment would have stricken from
the bill the right of freeholders to
file custer proceedings against faith
less and delinquent officials The
line up on this vote sets at rest all
doubt as to the good intentions Of a
majority Of the legislators to redeem
platform pledges.

COL. AMIS WILL
TAKE OFFICE SOON
PATRIOTS WITHOUT NUMBER
ARE BEslEGING HIM FOR
CHANCE TO ASSIST. !.

Col. Jonas T. Amis will probably
not be indicted into the office of
United States marshal for the middle
district to which he was recently ap-
pointed by the president, for several
days. Col Amis has not yet received
his commission although it is expect
ed to arrive soon. Col Amis will exc
cute bond for $4,000 and take the
oath during the early part Of the
month.
It is the intention of the new mar
shall to confer with the incumbent,
John W. Overall, during this week
and familiarize himself with matters
connected with the Office. He stated
that he was anxious to get the views
and judgment and long experience OF
Mr.. Overall in the administration OF
the duties of the Office. 1t is not i'm
probable that he will retain some OF
the present marshal's force for a
short time, at least until he can get
thoroughly familiar with all the de.
tails of the office.
The applicants for place continue
to come to the colonel, in fact ne
could, If put to the necessity, Nil ev'
cry job within his gift. and never go
outside of Maury county. There are
lust patriots plenty who are willing
to serve their country and assist Its
distinguished citizen in the operation
of his office. From almost every sec
ton of the county there are appii,
cants for the various places to be dis,
posed Of by the genial marshal.
While Maury county, as usual, is
right there at the front in its ankle
ty to serve the country In PUBIC
places, it is not the only county that
is willing to help Col. Amis with his
arduous duties. There are others
and plenty of them who are besiegine
the appointing power for commits
sions.

CHAIRMAN BAUhAH
BELIEVES PEDDLER
BILL Be ENACTED
is VERY HOPEFUL OF PASSAGE
SINCE HIS TRIP TO NASHVILLE
THURSDAY.
PRESENTED TO LOCAL MEMBERS
Church, Denton and Long Promise to
Give Bill Hearty Support Both in
Committees and In the Two Houses
OF the Legislature.

From the statement made to me
by the members of the Maury delega-
ton in the house and the senate, l
am very optimistic about the passage
of the peddlers' license BILL" said
Chairman Abe Bauman, of the legis-
lative committee of the Board of
Trade this morning.
1--WE called upon Thursday and re-
ceived assurances from Messrs.
Church, Denton and Long that the
bill would have their hearty support,
and that they would attempt to get
the support of others in order to pass
the bill as state measure. This is
much the best way, in their opinion,
and l concur with them in it. How
ever, if they encounter too much op-
position and are not sure that it will
pass by good majority in both
houses Of the legislature, they will
simply try to have it enacted as a
local law, and apply only to Maury
county.
Il want to thank the delegation
that went to Nashville to fight for the
bill. They gave me good support and
worked all day. It's just another ii
lustration of what the Board Of Trade
can do If a few would get together
and do little work.
II believe that the enactment OF
the bill into law will do much Il
eliminate peddlers of stoves, cloth
ing and such merchandise. When
they have to pay a good sized license
which the bill provides for, they will
simply stay out"

ANDERSON SUGGESTS
NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT
FOR ANNUAL BANQUET
WILL APPOINT COMMITTEE AT
ONCE FOR BOARD OF TRADE
FEED.
OUGHT TO Be SIMPLE AFFAIR
President of Trade Board Believes it
Ought to a Strictly Home Banquet,
and Minus All the Usual FriIls Of
Such Affaira

We ought to have our annual board
of Trade banquet about next Friday
night" said President William =. An
derson this morning.
While this is rather close at hand,
| think that all arrangements can be
made within q week. Il ought, ct
least, to be some time during the COM
ing week, which is the first of the
new month. The banquet will not be
an elaborate one Of several courses,
as has been held in the past, but more
attention will be paid to the substan-
tials and less to the frills.
my opinion is that this ought to
be strictly a home affair, one at
which every business man Of this city
will be present, 80 that We can talk
over prospects for the coming spring.
Let's make it face-to-fact, heart-to-
heart affair, at which every one will
feel at ease. think we ought to
have just good, plain, old fashioned
supper, then something to smoke and
several good local speakers to talk on
local affairs. believe that this kind
of banquet will be Of some real bene-
fit to us.
81 will announce in day or two a
banquet committee, who will canvass
the city and get as many as ZOE bus
mess men to be present. This COM
mittee will also make provision for
the banquet, the place for it to be
held and the price Of the plates"

7W0 TOLL GATES ON
HAMPSHIRE PIKE ARE
THROWN UP BYBOARD
|rHE THREE COMMISSIONERS DE.
CLARE 1T IN MANlFESTLY BAD
CONDITION.
APPEAL TO Be TAKEN By OWNER
Report Is That the Road Has Cut
Through, That 1t ls Muddy, But
Little Work Has Been Done Upon
It and Is Generally Out of Repair.

After an all day inspection Of the
road during which they went over 1t
from one end to the other, the Mau4y
county road commission on Thursday
afternoon declared that the Hamp-
shire pike was in manifestly bad con-
dltion and that the two gates thereon
should be thrown up and no toll
charged until the road had been re-
paired.
The report of the commission was
Med this morning with Judge Nc
Knight, as the law prescribes. It is
thought that John F. Stephenson. the
owner of the pike, will take an ap-
peal from the decision of the road
board. Under the provisions Of the
recent law which enables him to close
down his gate he can collect toll by
Issuing redeemable coupon to pas
sengers.
she commissioners stated that the
TQhi was in an awful condition and
Vt 1t could hardly be dignified by
the name of pike. The metal has cut
through in many places, there is but
little drainage, and the whole surface
muddy to the depth Of several
inches. One Of them was especially
severe in his condemnation Of the
road and its condition.

The well diggers who are boring for
water for the Standard Four Tire
icompany's plant on the Industrial
tract, have struck curious phen-
omena which is puzzling everyone.
1t is the first time that the phenomena
has been noticed In all the we'll dig

the bit Is brought to the surface 1t is
so magnetized that iron particles and
nails on the ground fly to It. and the
same popularity occurs with the
bucket, also.
A sample Of the clay and dirt has
been brought IN to the once Of the
Standard Four Tire company. and
probably will be sent to the state
chemist for analysis. No one seems
able to explain the reason and the
drillers working at the National Lead
company's plant have no such troubIe.
The drill will hardly go through the
present stratum in which the drillers
| are working. 1t is not possible to
make more than a foot or 80 day. 1t
Il is suggested that the drill may BE-
working In solid flint rock and that
the attraction Is due to induction.

NEW CRISIS IN ENGLAND.
Nationalists Seriously Threaten the New
Ministry.

London, June TO-. The threatened cab
| met crisis is, according to liberal pa
pers, very serious. The Chronicle says:
IF Mr.. Campbell is appointed lord
chancellor OF Ireland the Nationalist
will move a vote of censure on the gov
eminent, which would receive the sup
| port OF at least one hundred liberal and
labor memers as well as some eighty
| Irish members The Chronicle adds :
Both Andrew Bonar Law and Sir Ed
ward Carson are holding Premier As.
quith to the appointment of Mr. Camp
bell"
According to the Daily News the Lib
erals and Nationalist would only be
pleased if the crisis involved the resigna-
ton OF Sir Edward Carson. They con-
tend that the coalition would be strength
ened by his disappearance. On the other
hand should Andrew Bonar Law and
other unionists resign, they argue, Mr..
Asquith would be almost compelled to
advise the dissolution of Parliament and
general election.
1t appears that Mr.. Campbell received
the offer of the chaneellorship from
source he considered competent to offer
it and threw up his practice at the bar
TO accept. The cabinet met Tuesday to
consider the situation, but apparently no
decision was arrived at. 1t is rumored
that if the appointment of Mr.. Camp
bell is withdrawn as result of Ma
tionalist threats. Sir Edward Carson will
resign as attorney general and that per-
haps other members OF the new coali-
ton ministry will give up their port
folios.
The nationalist contention is that the
coalition government was formed to car
ny on the war and not to interfere with
the government OF Ireland, and they
strongly object to Mr.. Campbell, who
always has been prominent in anti.home
rule agitation. Altogether. the new gov
eminent is not meeting with smooth sail
ing, There were many evidences in the
sitting Of the House of Commons yes
terday that considerable section of the |
are unwilling TO forego their |
rights TO criticise the ministry freely.
Nationalists Against CONSUMPTION
The Nationalist Tuesday held a meet.
ng to consider the question and it is
understood that Mr.. Campbell will be
induced to abandon his claim to the
ord chaneelorship and accept a Judge
nip instead
The Nationalist at their meeting also
,assed resolution on the motion Of
John Dillon, one OF the Nationalist
eaders, declaring against CONSUMPTION.
The resolution stated that compulsory
service is needless and that any
ttempts 20 enforce IL would break up
he unity of the United kingdom.
