saturdays Daily.)

At the County High school today an
examination is being conducted by
Secretary Monte Fariss of the civil
service commission for postmaster al
Santa Fe, to fill the vacancy occa
stoned by the recent resignation of ]
r. Satterfield, who accepted position
as rural route carrier.
There are FIVE candidates taking

who was temporarily appointed wher
Mr.. Satterfield resigned. Mr.. Mullins
on former examination made the

the docket and can be called at any
time, but the defendant will be out of
custody.
The agreement was sanctioned by
Attorney General Horace Frierson
only after the prosecution, the widow
of the deceased, Mrs. R. G. Bates and
practically all the family Of Mr.. Bates
had urged that it be made. The at
torney general was loath to agree to
the settlement, preferring trial, but
he realized that with the dead mans
family insisting upon the agreement
he would be very greatly handicapped
! in the prosecution.
For the same reasons Judge Turner
did not readily agree that the order
could go down. He wanted the case
tried. There had been killing in
his circuit upon a prominent street
and he felt that the slayer should be
tried. However, he too, realized that
with all of the family of the deceased
asking for the settlement no good pur
pose could be served by going into a
trial of the case and agreed that the
order could go down.
Davis killed Bates near the shop OF
the latter on South Main street, about
Ia year ago. The former was himself
severely wounded and was confined at
! the Kings Daughters hospital for sew
/ eral weeks. He was afterward re-
moved to the county Jail, where he has
been ever since.

MAJ. STAHLMAN IS
WINNER OF SUIT
JUDGMENT OF LOWER COURT IS
AFFIRMED IN THE CARNEGIE
TRUST CASE.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March IL
Maj. E. B. Stahlman, proprietor of
the Nashville Banner, won in the SUI
preme court today his case with the
Madison Trust company, of New York.
The trust company sued Maj. Stahl-
man on note of $4,000 which he
had given for stock in the Carnegie
Trust company. The stock proved
worthless and Maj. Stahlman resisted
payment upon the ground that he
had been misled and deceived by the
representatives of Cummins. This
contention was sustained by the chan.
Gerry court and affirmed by the SUI
preme court today. 4'~

WIDER SCOPE MAYBE
GIVEN WORK OF POOR
HOUSE INVESTIGATION
WHOLE QUESTION OF EFFICIENCY
OF PRESENT PLANT TO BE
CONSIDERED.
OPERATION OF THE FARM
Whether Or Not 1t Is Profitable To
The County, Also Whether or Not
One Main Building Should Not be
Erected, to be Looked Into.

AS the reszNt of the visit of the
committee of the county court to the
county poor farm on Thursday it is
not improbable that the investigation
of conditions there will take a much
wider scope than was originally
planned when the committee was
appointed at the. last session of the
court. The whole problem of the care
of the poor, the afflicted and the UNI
fortunate of the county will probably
taken into consideration by the COM
mittee and an exhaustive report made
to the next term of the court in April.
The question of whether or not the
farm run in connection with the poor
house is a profitable investment to the
county, whether or not the farm could
not be disposed of and the funds more
profitably invested in a modern and
commodious building, will be matters
that will have the careful attention OF
the committee. Members of the com
mittee we're impressed with the fact
that one main building properly con-
structed and to be used for both the
residence of the keeper and the home
of the inmates, could be run more
economically for the county than the
scattered buildings now operated.
Such a building could be heated by
steam, be safer and more economical.
The committee has so far only in
formally discussed these questions, but
they will all be carefully looked into
and probably one of the most bust
ness-like and Illuminating reports
ever made to the county court will be
forthcoming. Justice Jasper c. Tay-
lor, one of the most progressive mem
bers of the court, is chairman and the
others are Justices R. G. Mullins, Jno.
B. Brooks, Frank NJ. Ricketts,, ]. A.
Grove.
The committee is having the bene.
fit of the assistance of Judge Nc
knight and County Attorney Whit
thorne in it's deliberations.

The auaouncemuat from Wash ington that the ...4e-or's exemp- tion from tho income tax may be reduced rem $5.0o0 to $2,OOO, while that of the married man re- mains at the present figure of $4,OO9; is not in the least surpris- ing.
 The first thing tat the harricd congressional expcrs thinks Of in connection with the problem of getting more reevnue from some where to run the government is of some source which is unpopular enough with lot of people to render the tax mora Or less ac- ceptable. Heretofore he has al- most iustinctively suggested that the tax OH beer and whiskey be raised-the imposition of further burdens on those articles commend ing itself to many as an unusually re. lunerative combination of reven- ue with reproduction.
 Now, he has put bachelors in the same class with beer and whis- key as permanent and emergency sources of taxatiua. For 1t is a fact that the DacLci9r, while per sonally perhaps Bkoi, is an abstract proposition not at all popular. There seems to be a feeling which has found frequent expression in the demands of reformers from time to time for a special tax on bachel- ors, that nothing that can be done to him as 6 class could be too se- were a penalty for his shirking of social responsibilities.
 It may be that this Giacrimina- tion of S2,0OO in tra matter of in come taz exemption in favor of the married man is ut the opening wedge. The principle established, there is no telling a.w far the dis criminauou will b. carried. The moral i-.

Tener Comes Back
at Frat Leader
President of National League Declares
He Can Fine players For
Transforming.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6. - President
Tener of the National league takes is
sue with David l.. Fultz, pre- sident of
the players fraternity, who has pro-
tested against the contemplated ac-
ton of the national committee In fin
ing ball players for transforming after
the league season Is over. Mr.. Tener
said that in each contract signed by
the player there is clause in which
the player agrees not to play after
the season closes without consent Of
the commission This clause was in
serted, he said, to protect territorial
rights of the different clubs.
The National league president de-
clarcd that the commission has power
to fine players for any such inflac-
ton Of the rules but would not say
that such fines have oeen levied
against the Boston American players
for participating in u game against
New Haven n few days after winning
the worlds series.
lie asserted that the New York Ma
tionals and Philadelphia Americans
and several other individual PLAYERS
also violated their contracts in this
respect, and added: There undoubt-
edly will be a general disciplining."
