DIDN'T GET THE MONEY AND
DOESN'T WANT CREDIT FOR TT

G. D. Jones, county tax receiver,
asked The Times Recorder today to
correct in its news columns an error
made by the county commissioners and
published in the official proceedings
in this newspaper Tuesday which
showed the county board had approved
and ordered paid to him $1,645.36.
This was the amount of my claim, -
said Mr., Jones, biased upon the act
of the last legislature increasing the
fees of the tax received to make them
equal to the tax collector. However,
the board allowed me only the old rate,
paying me half that, or $822.68"

a statement of all the probable ex-
penses of all the city departments.
This problem we want to solve
somehow. We can't pay all of these
amounts this year, of course, but we
must meet the condition.
1t was brought out later that two
notes against the city for $1,000 each,
due Dec. "a. 1918. are held by the Bank
of Commerce and the Planters Bank
for collection Another note for $25,
600 is held by Frank Lanier, due Jan.
10, which is before the next regular
meeting night On motion of Alder
man W +. Taylor, the finance com
mittee of which Alderman J. E, Poole
is chairman, was instructed TO renew
all of these notes. if possible, there
being no funds with which to pay them
at this time. The committee was given
power to act.
Mr.. Poole, taking the floor to dis
cuss the city's financial problem, as
outlined by Mayor Sheppard. said:
There is nothing that we can do
but collect all the money we can get,
pay our current bills, and renew the
notes like we have been doing for the
last Is years The city used to be one
year behind in its finances, but it has
got to where it is about two years
behind
Mr. Poole warned the council that at
the present demand for money all over
the country it probably would be i'm
possible to renew any of the notes
against the city at Z per cent, the
present rate, and declared that diff
Guilty would be encountered in renew
ing them at any rate of interest. He
promised to do his best, however, as
chairman of the committee, and coun-
Gil adjourned to meet January 81.
IL vas explained today by city Off
Gals that tie figures given by Mayor
Sheppard, while in themselves en-

Ex-kaiser Fled to

Hindenburg Says
Field Marshal Defends His
Former Chief; Declares
His Trip to Holland Was
Made Against His Will

BERLIN, March 20.-Aroused by re-
cent criticisms OF S-Emrcro- Will
lam's fight from Germany to Holland
last fall, Field Marshal Won Hindenburp
has prepared and published here de-
fence of the formers rulers action.
After depicting the situation as 1T ex-
listed in November, caused by the weak
ening of the army, the doubtful re-
liability of the forces in the field
and the breaking out of the revolution
at home, the field marshal writes:
The peaceful return home of the
Emperor then became impossible. It
could have been carried out only
through the forceful employment Of
loyal troops, and civil war would have
been added to the hostilities with the
enemy.
"The Emperor could have betaken
himself to the fighting troops in or
der to meet death at their head in
last attack upon the enemy, but the
armistice so keenly desired by the
people would thereby have been post
poned and the lives of many soldiers
uselessly sacrificed. The Emporer
finally, in agreement with his advisers
and after severe mental struggle, de-
clded to leave the country, solely in the
hope that he could thereby best serve
the Fatherland, save Germany from
further losses, distress and misery and
restore peace and order to her"
