LIGHT DOCKET FOR
CHANCERY COURT

Chancery court convened
here on Wednesday of this
week. Clerk and Master
Banks received a letter from
Chancellor Mckinney last Fri
day stating that the chancel-
lor would not be able to reach
Dresden before Wednesday
morning and Immediately up
on his arrival theJuly term of
the Weakley county chancery
court was convened.
Mr.. Banks informs the En-
terprise that the docket for the
July term is, perhaps, the
lightest in the history of the
court in this county-at least
the lightest since his connec-
ton with the court. There are
no cases of magnitude and
very few of any kind on the
docket. The term will last but
a few days. The January
term, it will be remembered,
was quite a lengthy one, re-
quiring about two weeks for
the disposal of the cases on
the docket.

JAPS FIND GERMANS
BACK China REVOLT
Berlin Supplied Money for Plot to
Overthrow Republic.

Reports have reached, japanese cir
cles here tending to show that respon-
sibility for the attempt to restore
the Chinese monarchy has been
traced directly to German plotters
working with the financial backing
of the German government. The de-
tails of the plot have been uncovered
by the Japanese, who made haste TO
checkmate IL.
When the full story is officially told.
II is said, it will be seen that Japan
has worked most effectively TO restore
the Chinese Republic along the lines
which the Government Of the United
States and the Entente Governments
have sanctioned.
There appears TO be good reason
to believe that General Chang-Hsuan.
who attempted to re-establish the
monarchy. had the financial backing
Of German agents. There seems also
to have been an understanding be-
tween General Hsuan and German
elements as to favored treatment
which Germany was 10 receive. pro-

Fifty Men Lose Their Jobs
On Account of Congress

Deprived of $4,000 in the appropria-
ton for the maintenance of the Dis
trict Water Department. officials of
the District were compelled to notify
fifty men employed in the office of
the water registrar, at the pumping
station and in construction work, that
they will not be needed after August
l. 1t is estimated that $ 900 a month
will be saved in the wages of these
men. which range from SIS to $3.50
a day.
The appropriation asked was s202,-
600, which included slS6.O0O for the up
keep of the aqueduct. Congress cut
the sum to sl51,O00. leaving a deficiency
Of $4,000. approximately. for the de-
partment to make up. This year, the
old half-andhalf system has been
done away with and the Water De-
partment must shoulder the added
financial difficulties as best it can.

her lover and every two feet she
would stop. throw her arms around

didn't have a chance to say stop"
because she had her lips so close to
his that he couldn't. She carried on
this way for three blocks. A police
man noticed her and started to res
| cue the young man. But before he
| could reach them the young man
had rescued himself and had run
| away. Alice was too tired kissing
to run and she was pinched for the
incest kind of disorderly conduct.
But Alice still thinks that those few
blissful moments are worth SO fine.

sir: As a Columbia alumnus | vigorously
protest against the recent statement of our
president, Nicholas Murray Butler, that he
would refuse to grant Miss Eleanor Wilson
Parker her degree unless she was cleared Of
the charge of conspiracy in preparing anti
draft literature.
1t is dangerous policy, open to manifest
abuse for college authorities to refuse a
degree to any student who has satisfactorily
completed the requirements. As a matter Of
fact, college in Withholding the ceremonial
of a degree to one who has put in the re-
quired time, knowledge and money is nduls-

Tuition at $50 a Year

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The recent report of the Chamber Of
Commerce Committee on the New York Pub
lie Schools seems to ignore one important
aspect of public education in the City Of
New York and in large sections of this part
Of the United States. 1t ignores the fact
that a large proportion Of the gentlemen who
are members Of the Chamber Of Commerce
probably pay from 5000 to $500 year for
the tuition Of each of their children and that
for the tuition for the children in the New
York City schools something like $50 or less
is provided.
Is it the custom of these gentlemen TO pay
from four TO ten times as much as necessary
TO secure efficient service, or do they expect
the city schools TO give efficient service for
from one-fourth TO one-tenth the market
price? II one had an answer to this ques-
ton, probably one could discuss the report
of the committee of the Chamber of Com
merce with little more intelligent selection
of details. EDGAk DA"oON'
