BY JUDGE M'REYNOLDS
DUBRov GETS ANOTHER
CHANCE.

pended'in Case Of Tom Lane.
L. B. Henderson Freed.

number of defendants tried In
the criminal court during the past
week and found guilty Jared a great
deal better Saturday morning when
their cases were passed on by Judge
McReynolds in motions for a new
trial. S. R. Dubrov, who was tried
and convicted of obtaining goods I'M
der false pretense and sentenced to
the state penitentiary for from there
to ten years, was granted a new
trial, which practically means that
the case Is ended, because counsel
for defendants strongest argument
was that the case was a civil one,
and had no place in the criminal
courts. Dubrov was represented by
T. Pope Shepherd and e. III. Williams
and the state by Gen. George W.
Chamlee and Ford & Bryan. A. w.
Moore was the prosecutor in the
case. he charging that Dubrov bought
his store on Carter street from him
and gave him a $4,000 bad check in
payment. Dubro did not deny giving
a bad check, but claimed he told
Moore he would make the check
good. In the meantime. however. 1t
is charged that Dubrov was dispos-
ing of Moore's stock of goods and
keeping the money. -
Tom Lane. who was convicted in
the criminal court during the past
week on the charge of assault and
battery, and was sentenced to thirty
days in the workhouse and fined $50
and costs, had the sentence RENTED,
and he will now only have to pay
the fine and costs and he is free.
Lane is charged with assaulting a
friend because the latter had offered
to walk with his wife to a place
where she was going. Lane seems to
have made more out of the matter
than was necessary, and committed
the assault with a street car lever.
Judge McReynolds stated when the
jury reported a verdict of guilty that
the case was an aggravated one, and
fined the defendant $50 and costs and
sentenced him to thirty days in the
workhouse. The workhouse sentence
was suspended Saturday by the
court Lane has young wife and a
little baby, and they are dependant on
him. The defendant was represented
by T. Pope Shepherd.
L, B. Henderson, the negro charged
with the heinous assault on little
colored boy, was turned loose by
Judge McReynolds. After listening
to the evidence on Friday Judge Nice
Reynolds took the case under advise
ment, and stated Saturday he could
not make UP his mind the defendant
was guilty. and not wanting to pun
ish an innocent man, he turned Hen
derson loose. The negro Is a piano
player at Lookout lake. and his IA
Their is cook at Signal Mountain inn.

Wheland, chairman OF the commits
sion, Saturday afternoon. I'VE were
named to try and find site for the
auditorium, and we are going to try

past few days the commissioners
have been hard at work in an eff

the holders of some of the property
which has been considered favorably
to come down to what will be re-

Thus far, however, the efforts Of
the commission have been without
perceptible results. No property
owner has been induced to listen to
a reduction. Due to the high prices
asked by site holders, one of the
commissioners resigned.

A judgment of $4,000 and costs and
interest from the date of the filing of
the bill was awarded Ira S. Post
against George X. Brown In the

is charged, had the building leased.

gines on the c., N. o. & T. =. division
Of the Southern Railway system. and
the railway heads have been settled
with the eauipping of the engines with
smoke conveyors. The engineers re-
fused otherwise to drive the big freight
ers between Cincinnati and Chattanooga
on account of the alleged excessive heat
and smoke in the tunnels on the line
caused by the big engines. The EN-
barge which was placed on nonperish-
able freight while the engines were
being equipped with device which

EXTRA SESSION
LOOMING UP
Gov. Roberts Sees Necessity
of Law Authorizing Levy
of Poll Tax on Women.
ANNEXATION OF SUBURBS
Chattanooga May Yet Have
Opportunity to Extend
CORPORATE Limits.

Nashville, Tenn, July 26.-tSpe-
cial. )--There will very likely De an
extra session of the legislature soon,
at which a greater Chattanooga act
can be passed. Gov. Roberts thinks
a session should be held at once, so
as to impose poll taxes on women.
He is consulting public opinion on
the subject; the cost of the session
would be only about $4,000, and
S175,000 would be realized to the
state and county school funds
through the poll taxes. In addition.
all objection to allowing women to
vote would be removed by placing
them on the same basis as men.
With regard to the payment of poll
taxes, there Is a strong sentiment in
sections OF the state where there is
a large negro population in favor
of imposing poll taxes on women.
Gov. Roberts cited the lack of pro-
vision for a levy of poll tax against
women, as brought out in the opinion
of the supreme court today, and de-
clared that some protection should be
thrown about the ballot boxes by
such levy before the next election.
In order to provide for such a levy
legislative action is necessary. and
as there will be no regular session of
the general assembly before the next
presidential election and with many
municipal elections throughout the
state, the extra session now looms
large.
In the event an extra session is
called Chattanooga will have leglsla-
ton enacted providing for the TAX
ing over of her suburbs, a matter
which has long been interesting the
people of that city. Memphis. Nash
vile and other cities may seek to
have urgent local legislation enacted
at this session also.
The governor is expected to decide
the matter in a few days, and will
add each local legislator to the call
as Is requested.
