BRIDGE CASE TAKEN
| under ADJUSTMENT
All Of Saturday Consumed By
Attorneys In Arguments Upon
Fsmous Toll Gate Case

After hearing arguments all day
Saturday upon the motion of at
torneys representing the Fiscal Court
and taxpayers of Madison county
for Aan injunction preventing the
further collection of toll at the Clay's
Ferry Bridge. Circuit Judge w. R.
Shackelford took the case under ad-
visement. He is now reading the
voluminous record that has been pre-
pared by attorneys on each side OF
the case, and will announce his
opinion as soon as his mind is made
up upon the intricate legal ques-
tions involved.
The point of the whole suit seems
to revolve around the right of the old
Richmond and Lexington Turnpike
Company to sell its privilege to col
lect toll over this bridge. In 1907
this company sold its bridge, and
sought to transfer this right, which
was granted it by legislative act, it
is claimed, to the Clay's Ferry
Bridge Company. Attorneys for the
Fical Court and county, and tax
payers now contend that the old COM
pany had no legal power to transfer
its right and privilege of collecting
toll, and that having given up such
privilege, the bridge reverts to the
county and people. Attorneys for
the Clay's Ferry Bridge Company
vigorously combatted any such con-
tention, and the entire day was taken
up in arguments and citation of
precedents and legal authorities and
opinions covering the points at issue.

CANADIAN SOLDIERS
KILL POLICEMAN IN RIOT
OVER JAILED FRIENDS

London, July 19.--There we're wild
scenes in EPSON when. as a result Of
an organized raid by body Of Cana
dian soldiers, the local police station
was wrecked and Station Sergeant
Thomas Green was 80 severely in
jured that he died in hospital.
The cause Of the trouble was the
arrest Of two Canadian soldiers by
the EPSON police on a charge of
being drunk and disorderly. Other
Canadians who resented the arrest
hurried to the Woodcote Park Ccnva-
descent camp, mile or two away,
and an hour and half later between
four and ave hundred soldiers at
tackled the police station
Normally there would have been
Icnly two or three police officers on
duty. but in view OF threats made
when the two soldiers were arrested
the force at the station had been
strengthened, and there were an in
spector. three sergeants and about
seventeen constables in the building
when the attack was made.

charge of the police. and Major Rose.
who had hurried to EPSON from
Woodside park when 1t became clear
there that trouble was brewing, at
but they would listen to no one. and
proceeded to storm the station.
Tho iron railing and doors OF the
station garden were torn up, bricks
and stones were thrown at the police.
and as the attackers swarmed into
the garden the defenders took refuge
inside the building. The front door.
though its panels were broken. proved
too strong for the soldiers. and they
turned to attack the barred win

The bars were torn out, and though
the small police force made sortie
through the front door in a desperate
attempt to keep them out. the soldiers
forced an entrance and released the
prisoners.

some RESEARCHES IN
ENGLISH HYMh0lOGY

A curious fact about the "Old Hun
dredth" Is that the tune was attached
in the Genevan psalter to Psalm 134.
1t was not until Day, an Ellzabethan
printer. brought out standard edition
of the whole $50 Psalms that this tune
was assigned to Psalm 100. The mat
ter has been skillfully dealt with In
an article on Hymn Tune Origins'
in the Yorkshire Observer. It IL there
pointed out that the Genevan psAlter
was not the most influential. nor even
the first psalter to be used In England.
Coverdale brought back from Ger
many some of tire chorales which were
more like prescnt-day hymns, Henry
VIII. however, objected to these. but
showed greater favor to some metrical
versions of the psalms, when he heard
Thomas Sternhold singing them at the
organ. Presently Sternhold issued =
book containing nineteen of the
psalms thus versihed, and dedicated II
to His Majesty. This. says The writer
of the article, became the corner stone
OF modern English hymnology, New
and enlarged editions were published

Kettle adding other Of the psalms un-
I'll the standard edition already spoken
of as Days was issued In 1862. Days
psalter, known later as the Old YER
sion. was ordained for usage in the
Elizabethan church. 1t incorporated
good deal of the Genevan and Stras-
bourg psalters. but the tunes instead
of increasing in number, grew fewer.
The psalter had started on the plan OF
a. special tune for each psalm. but
owing to some tunes being preferred
to others. number were dropped and
the rest made to do more than double
duty. However. certain tunes. In this
Old Version did come to be associated
with certain psalms. and in this way
the "Old Hundredth" was definitely
