WHITE APPOINTED
 SPECIAL AGENT
WelI-KnoWn Deputy Sheriff Enters Service of Southern
 Railway System

Deputy Sheriff Lee White, who has been connected with the sheriffs office under the last three administrations, rendered his resignation to Sheriff Harts- field yesterday, to be effective Novem- Der 15, when he will enter into his duties of chief special agent for the Birring- ham division of the Southern Railway sy stem.
 MT. White received his appointment yes- terday from Washington, and immediate ly notified the company of his acceptance. His headdnarters will be in Birmingham and he will have 36 men working under his direction.
 The appointment was unsolicited and came as somewhat of a. surprise to Mir. White. Than Lee White there is no better known officer in Birmingham or Tone more feared by the criminal element. He has been an officer in this district for the past 19 years. serving as con stable of Precinct 45 Ensley, for over 10 years, and has worked in the sheriff's of flee under Sberiffs McAdory, Batson and Hartsfield, and is regarded as an eff cient and fearless officer.
 On the election of Sheriff Hartsfield. MT White was put in the field on crim- inal work, and has run to earth some of the most noted criminals operating in this district Recently he has assisted ir the capture of seven men charged with recent highway robberies.
 One of his notable achievements was in .connection with the Overton escape from the county jail several years ago, when he and Fred McDuff now chief deputy sheriff, run down and engaged in a pitched battle with the six men who had escaped from the jail and in which Over ton, Lathem and Mallno were killed. The officers came out unhurt
 Mir White came to Birmingham z years ago and as bricklayer worked on the construction of the steel plant al K.nsley. When the town Of Ensiey re- ceived it's charter in 19a0. MT. white was elected city treasurer. He was later appointed constable of Precinct i5. and was subsequently, elected for two full terms He is married and lives on Ensley IIioh1aD Dds

AhsWerS and demurrerS to the orig lnal bill were filed by the defendants yesterday, as was a motion to dissolve the temporary injunction, on the grounds that it was without equity. Action will be taken on the plead,nrz when the case is taken up this morn ing.
 The defendants admit in the an-
 swer filed that the board of reve-
 nue undertook to dispose of SS0O,-
 o00 face value bonds bearing i'm
 tere"t at the rate of 5 per cent
 Der annum. asgreeinx at the time of
 Inc sale to allow and pay the brok-
 CTS making or enecting the sale a
 eommissiOn of 10 per cent. or the
 sum of e5O,OOO.
 According to the answer, of the $500, JOG paid into the treasury of the coun- ty, only $450.00o was from the sale of the bonds, the difference between that amount and the par value of the bonds was paid by certain contractors who had done road work for the county
 ANSWER DENIES
 The answer denies that the respon- dents made an agreement to draw war rants on the treasurer of the county in favor of the brokers for the sum of $50,00o, nominally as commission for negotiating the sale of the bonds, although it admits that the board of revenue did issue warrants in that sum to brokers who made the sale, but the county treasurer declined to pay it.
 In test suit the answer recites the treasurer was sustained by the su- preme court in his refusal to pay the warrant.
 The answer sets out that the defend ants had no agreement or understand ing that the brokers should and would pay the whole of the sum of $50u00 tc the contractors who had advanced ard paid that sum into the county treasury. and that Jefferson county re- ccived par value for the bonds.
