CORONER WILEY ID FILE PROCEEDINGS ID COLLECT SALARY Situation May Result in the Republican Nominee, Dr.
 Ballard, Getting
 the Office

Following the filing of his bill for salary as coroner with the board of revenue, which was refused, Dr. c. c. Wiley will institute mandamus pro ceedings against the county authori- ties, including the county treasurer, to compel the payment of his salary and that of his assistants.
 Dr. Wiley filed his claim with the board of revenue yesterday afternoon and was informed that. owing to the notice served on the board by Attor- ney Richard F. Fies, that con- test would be made against any pay ments to the coroner or his assistants at this time. the board stated that they would not allow the claims until the status of the coroner had been judi cially determined.
 With the filing of the mandamus suit the main question at issue, name ly, whether the state law contemplates that none but a regular physician practicing under the state laws can hold th 1ffice of coroner of Jeffer- son c
 This I bring into the controversy the question as to whether Dr. Elwyn Ballard, the republican nominee, who was the only physician voted on in the general election, will not be en- titled to the office in the event shc law is declared constitutional
 John R. T. Rives was the democratic nominee for coroner and was over- wkelmingly elected to the office at the general election. He had barely assumed the duties of his office when s4uo warranto proceedings were insti- tuted against him, the contention be- ing that he was not qualified to hold the office as he was not practicing physician. Pending the hearing of the quo warranto proceedings MT. Rives resigned and Governor Henderson ap- pointed Dr. c. c. Wiley as coroner. pr. Wiley named John R. T. Rives as his assistant and took change of the office.
 Attorney Fies served notice on the board of revenue that contest would be made on any future coroner un- til the exact status of the coroner's office was determined by the supreme court.
 In the meantime Dr. Ballard Is checking the bet" and when the court calls a show of hands at the final hearing he may have the "hole" card that wins the pot"

OUSTING OF GASTON
 WOULD ONLY VACATE HEALTH OFFICE POST
Proceedings of State Health Board Provide for No Affirma-
 tive Action

Should the state board of health be successful in it's custer proceedings, instituted yesterday in the circuit court against Dr. Cecil Gaston as city health officer, Commissioner J. R. Hor- nady stated last night that this would not contain any affirmative action. Ac- cording to the commissioner of health and education the quo warranto pro ceedings would merely oust Dr. Cas- ton and leave the office vacant. It would then be necessary for the city to appoint another city health officer.
 The proceedings charge that Dr.. Gaston has usurped the office without any due authority, but, according to MT. Hornady, do not attempt to prove that Dr. F. E. Harrington, appointed by the Jefferson County Medical so- ciety, is the rightful city health of ficer.
 The proceedings are designed mere ly to oust Dr. Gaston," said MT. Hor- nady yesterday. "They do not seek to have the unified health system, as pro- vided for by the state statutes, up- held, but merely demand that pr. Cas- ton be removed from his post.''
 Dr. w. s. Welch, state health of- ficer, stated that the object of the proceedings was to prove the conten- tion that the all-time health officer of Jefferson county could also serve as the city health officer. The attitude of the city questioned the legality of the statutes. he said, and hence the ac- tion was taken to protect the act.

STRIKING CONNECTS GIVE
 UP THEIR FIGHT AT BANNER
State Convict Board Now Conducting Exhaustive Hearing Situation Resulting in Mutny in Mne-Convicts and Officials Giving Testimony Before Board-No
 Intmation as to Probable Decision

The surrender was unconditional President Rogers of the convict board handled the matter in a firm and dip lomatic manner. He refused to accede to the summary request of the miners, who during their long vigil in the depths of the mine sent back two mes sengers with the pert ultimatum: Get rid of Warden Hall"
 The iMestigation into the causes which resulted in the strike of the convict miners is now under way. All during the late afternoon, and for several hours last night, the members of the convict board heard state- ments from the miners. officials and employees at Banner J. M. Kyser, member of the board, stated last night that the hearing would be resumed to- day, but he would give no intimation as to what the boards decision might be. A full and complete hearing of all witnesses who cared to give testimony would be had before any definite ac- tion was decided on, he said.

Their cause lost. 221 convict miners. after rebellious spell of one day, marched silently and stolidly out of the pit mouth of the Banner mine at noon yesterday and ended the strike by going to the stockade. Warden J. D. Hall remains in charge of the con- vict miners, but the convict board, consisting of P J. Rogers, J. M. Kyser and Dr. K. A. Smith, are hearing the charges of the men, who claim that theirMwarden has been inconsiderate end harsh,
 The strike was lacking in violence and was losf without real fight After the two hundred convicts had marched to their hunks in the prison stockade, twarted the four white men who had been held in the bottom of the mine as hostages came out and stated that they had not been sub Jected to any cruel treatment by the negroes.

just as G. B. was about to give up his unsought and unsolicited task. the coun- tryman showed up and took charge of his property. Then the general turned loose and laughed loud and long as hs and G. B. walked up the street together.
 Now G. B. knows good thing when he sees 1t, and he stated to the general that the COW was a bargain and would have purchased it but for his s'butting in" Before he had gone another half block he decided to return and purchase the animal anyway.
 They retraced their steps and c. B made known his intention to the country man.
 ''I shore is sorry. Cap, but have jest done sold the COW to old Bill Simmons" Then 1t was that the general made the welkin ring with his laughter and from late accounts he is laughing yet.
