HAMILTON COUNTY IS
ENRICHED BY $65,OOO
RETURNS FROM TAXES ON
AUTOMOBILES.
Opinion of Court in This Case
Read by Judge Nathan
L. Bachman,

According to n decree handed down
today by Justice Nathan l.. Bachman
of the supreme bench, Hamilton coun-
ty will be given in the neighborhood
of $65,000 automobile tax collected
and the amount will be spent on the
roads of the county. This was
learned Saturday when Secretary
Harry Clark, OF the county highway
commission, called the office OF the
state highway commission at Nash
vile. Just how much more than $685.
900 the county will receive is not
known, but Mr.. Clark stated Saturday,
according to the report made the first
of January, there was then $4,000
to the credit of the county. The
money will come to Hamilton county
as the result of bill filed some time
as the result OF n bill filed some
Thompson, in which the attorney
general asked the supreme court TO
construe new law passed by the last
Legislature. One paragraph OF the
law states that all money collected in
automobile taxes be turned back
to the respective counties from which
it came and contradictory para
graph read that all money In the
treasury from automobile taxes be
distributed equally among the ninety
six counties. The court construed the
law to mean that the amount paid by
each county should go back to that
county and Judge Bachman's decree
was handed down Saturday accord :
ingly The money returned here Will
mean a great deal towards the i'm
provement of roads throughout Ham
ilton county and Mr.. Clark states II
will be thankfully received and prop
erly distributed and used.

A WOMANLESS BARGAIN
SALE PROVES FAILURE
5000 FUR COAT BID IN
FOR $116.
Article Was Sold to Satisfy
Chancery Court Judgment
Against It,

A womanless bargain sale. held on
the courthouse steps Saturday morn
ing, was responsible for handsome
5000 coat being disposed of at the
paltry sum of SIG. The coat WINS
sold by chancery court deputy John
McGill by reason of the suit OF
Schwartz Bros. company against A.
X, Mimmick. which has been pending
in the chancery court for some time.
Schwartz Bros. company charged In
their bill that Mrs. Mimmick, while
residing at the Signal Mountain Inn,
purchased a handsome fur coat from
them for 5000 and after wearing II for
several days failed to show any dis
position to pay for same, and they
instituted suit and attached the coat.
When the sale was called Saturday
morning on the courthouse steps no
women were present and there were
only gathered a crowd OF men who
knew no more about n woman's fur
coat than Esquimos do about palm
beach suits. However when the sale
began n newspaper man bid $25 when
he had no more use for a fur coat
than he had money to pay for II.
This, however, started the blind lead
ing the blind. and clerk and master
Sam Erwin followed suit Cor rather
the coat, and bid $50. Then several
others bid and finally representa-
tive of the complainants bid in the
fur for $116. The coat was n beauti-
full one and the representative who
bought 1t said 1t was one of the very
finest ever made.

HEARING OF RAILWAY
CASE Is AGAIN RESET
TO BE HEARD BEFORE
JUDGE SANFORD JULY %.
Originally Set for Hearing
Here, but Continued on
Request,

Deputy Clerk George T.. Gresham
received Friday afternoon copies Of
orders approved by Judge r. T. San
ford at Knoxville which set the hear
ing OF the case in equity of the
Chattanooga Railway and Light COM
pany on Wednesday, July %, instead
Of the 21st, as was agreed on here
when federal court was in session.
An overcrowded docket was the rea-
son assigned for the continuance.
The case in question is whether OF
not the receivership should take over
all the properties of the local railway
company. The receivers, John Ora.
ham and Percy Warner. state that
they have been hampered to some
extent in their receivership because
the railway and light company off,
Gals are OF the opinion their re-
ownership extends only over the rail-
way department of the company. The
receivers maintain that they should
have authority over the lighting de-
partment as well, since the accounts
of both are so intermingled as to
make pursuance OF one almost i'm
possible without the other.
Hearing of this case was set as the
last one on the docket of the last
session of federal court here. 1t was
continued until July 81 in order that
the Maryland Trust company, one of
the defendants in the suit, may have
ample time to prepare for the hear
ing, as it did not have this time. II
it stated, when the case was called
in court here.

REITERATES THAT
MAYOR DID SAY IT
ACCURACY OF NEWS ARTI-
GLE CONFIRMED.
Littleton Predicted That Bass
Would Be Fire and Police
Commissioner,

The statement attributed to Mayor
Jesse NJ. Iittleton in the morning
paper to the effect that he had at
no time said to any one that Com
missioner Ed Bass would be the next
commissioner of the police and fire
department was characterized sat
urday by The News original source
of this information, who is we'll
known Market street business man.
as absolutely untrue.
This well-known Chattanooga
stated unequivocally Saturday that
not only did Mayor Littleton state
that Commissioner Ed Bass, woulu
be next commissioner of fire and po-
lice. but also that Capt. w. l.. Baker
would be the next chief of police.
The identity of the Market street
merchant who supplied The News
with this information. which was
printed in good faith Friday and with
no purpose whatever to injure Mayor
Iittleton, has been withheld upon ms
request, because of certain litigation
which is pending in court. II can
he supplied, however, should Mayor
Iittleton's memory fail him further.
The newspaper man who secured the
information, and today verified 1t, is
one of the most careful in Chatta-
nooga.
Mayor Lttleton is represented In
the morning paper as having stated
that when The News said that ne
had made any prediction whatever
regarding the assignment or POSITIONS
on the new board, 1t was false. The
well known Chattanooga who sup
plied The News with this information
reiterates that the mayor did make
a prediction.
Mayor Littleton's assertion that
The News is guilty of false state
ment or lie" requires the foregoing
statement as to the source OF the IN
| formation.
Mayor Littleton states in his ar
ticle that he is going out OF once
with a good taste in his mouth
but the article of which this sem
tence is a portion very clearly oehes
| this.
In his Statement in the morning
paper the mayor does not overlook
| the opportunity to do little press
agent work for Commissioner Bass
He states he would support him for
office against any one any time IN
| dicating that he would support MN
| for congress, governor or any other
| place, not even qualifying 1t with the
COnQlJlOn tIldI lie liilSpii 10 'A~' -
| candidate.
According to those who know the
| local situation, Mayor Littletons re-
mark, if made as quoted. of when
| there appears to be no doubt, indl-
Gates. of course, that the retiring
mayor is confident that If Commits
sioner Bass is able to switch to the
police and fire department it will not
| be to the advantage of the democratic
party in the state or district. Mayor
IittIeton, of course, does not care tc
give grounds for the accusation made
| against Commissioner Bass that ne
is not simon pure democrat and
| hardly eligible to vote in a demo-
cratic primary after supporting sam
| Conner, a republican nominee fol-
county Judge; Willard Springfield, g
republican nominee for county regis
| ter, not to mention Mayor Littletor
himself in his ludicrous efforts tc
succeed Judge John A. Moon in con-
| gress.
