/ Attorney T C. Coffin lost his case
against the state for claim for

en- opinion in which it affirmed the

''The common law as to the COM

court in it's opinion, in holding that
if Coffin had a contract with the
attorney general he must have under
stood that it was in pursuance of an
appropriation made by the legisla-

s2s 200.
After quoting chapter 159 of the
1915 session laws, which makes it I'M
lawful for state official or employee
to create debt against the state
when there are no funds available
with which to pay it, the court said
1T is therefore quite evident that

appropriation for his office, and i'll
there is no appropriation out Of
which the claim of the appellant
could be paid, any attempt to Gre

U. of A. Senior. Suspended.

University Of Alabama, May a.
The entire senior class of the Uni-
versity of Alabama has been sus-
pended for an indefinite period by
the student executive committee
because of an inspection" which
the members of the class took part
in. The young men of the class
pleaded guilty in a body, and pun
ishment was meted out in like man
ner.
The trouble originated Tuesday
night, April %, when about two
thirds of the boys of the class are
said to have hazed about so fresh
AS the affair was pulled off in
a more or less open manner two of
the fellow students of the class
were dismissed from school for al
legged failure to perform their duty
as employees of the university How
ever, committee representing the
class has contended before the adj
mnistration that these men were
guilty of only violation Gf
there was a violation on their part.)
of the duties as employees of the in
stitution, and that their connection
with the university could only in
that respect be severed by the ad-
ministration.
According to the student consti-
tuition all dismissals for hazing must
be made by the student executive
committee, before which the class,
in order to protect the two dismiss
ed tsudents, pleaded guilty as a
whole. 1t was not thought right
according to the tenor of the decis-
ion of the class at meeting Mon
day afternoon for these men to re-
ceive punishment out of proportion
for their participation in the ha-
zing.
The decree of the executive COM
mittee applies to all the men of the
class who win not make an affida-
Wit declaring themselves not guilty
of takiag part in the inspection"
However, the vote was unanimous
to treat the matter as class rather
than an individual affair, so that il
is highly unlikely that the few who
did not participate will make such
an affidavit.

the garden more lovely.
