.DISBARMENT
ACT DRASTIC
Law Passed Governing Law
yers Who Would Solicit
Business.
REAL ESTATE LEGISLATION
Agents Must Make Bond and
Be Endorsed by Ten
Citizens.

The last legislature passed more
important legislation than any ses-
sion In the past twenty years Is the
opinion OF J. II. Cantrell, who has
received and made a study OF a copy
OF the general acts OF the past ses-
sion. Il had no idea. and l don't
think any other lawyer had, that so
much important legislation had been
passed." stated Mr.. Cantrcll. Ac-
cording TO Mr.. Cantrell, The two most
important pieces of legislation passed
was an act covering the disbarment
of lawyers and a law regarding and
controlling the conduct of real estate
men. The law regarding disbarment
is drastic one and the feature OF
II is the settlement of a point that
has been greatly discussed and dis
agreed over by lawyers for many
years. The particular feature of the
disbarment act reads as follows: "A
lawyer who shall seek out any per-
son having a claim for personal in
jury or having any other grounds OF
action, in order to obtain employ
ment by such claimant or shall EN-
ploy agents or runners for like pur-
poses or pay or reward directly or
indirectly those who bring or influ-
ence the bringing of such cases t.
his office, shall be disbarred from
ever practicing law in the state OF
Tennessee
The law governing real estate men
sets out that before any one shall en-
gage in the real estate business
either by himself or in a firm he
shall first apply for license at the
office of the county court clerk and
file petition with the names of ten
responsible men signed to 1t to GER
tify, to his reputation for honesty
and veracity and this petition shall
be approved by the attorney general
after which, If the claimant is
granted license to engage in the
real estate business he must make q
qualified bond for $1,000. The ACT
covering this particular business sets
out in seven pages laws governing
the transactions and conduct of real
estate men and makes a violation OF
any of them subject to forfeiture
of the license and a fine of from SIT
to $500 n the event of convictit
There are many other new laws
in the copy of the general act. among
which are a general sales law, gen.
eral act covering fraudulent convey
ances, a general partnership act, an
unusually long general revenue act
which supersedes all other revenue
acts, general inheritance tax law
covering both direct and collateral
tax, which supersedes all other tax
laws, and general act repeating the
married women's act of 1918.

ENGINEERS GO
OUT ON STRIKE
Freight Pilots on 0akedale-
Danvllle Division Leave
Their Jobs.
TWENTY FIVE AFFECTED
Demand Smoke Consumers Be
! Installed to Lessen Heat
in Tunnels.

Freight engineers operating the bie
engines of the Cincinnati. New Or
leans & Texas Pacific railroad be-
tween Oakdale and IDanville, KY.
were as good as their word, and al
1901 o'clock Tuesday morning full
filed the ultimatum that they would
not handle the mogul engines unless
an improved smoke appliance was
installed. '
Twenty five locomotives are in
volved, which means that the road
will be seriously handicapped in ham
ding the large amount of freight
that they pull until the task of in
stalling the smoke device is COM
pleted.
This undertaking will require about
twenty-five days, and in the mean
time smaller engines are to be used
in moving all perishahIes possible
Other freight will be largely diverted
over other Ines
The contention of the engineers
was that the heat of the big engines
as they passed through the numer-
eous tunnels was so great that II
could not be endured. They also
entered vigorous complaint in re-
gard to the intense smoke which
they were forced to fight when they
entered tunnels.
Only the second district of the
Southern--Oakdale to Danville-is
affected by the strike. 49,
The appliance that will be installed
on the engines conveys the smoke
over the cab and releases 1t back Of
1t. An air auxiliary releases a heavy
pressure of air as soon as an engine
enters a tunnel and drives the smoke
back, allowing fresh air to enter the
cab. In this manner the situation
will be greatly relieved, 1t Is thought
1t is estimated that one or two OF
the smoke devices can be installed
in day.
c. M. Mitchell, of Danville. is SUI
perintendent of the c., N. o. & T. p
division of the Southern.
