CHIEF PEYT0N TO
STAND TRIAL FOR
ALLEGED ATTACK
CASE WILL BE CALLED IN coUN-
TY CRIMINAL COURT FRIDAY,
WAS PLAN THIS MORNING.
REUBEN CHAPPELl PROSECUTOR
Young Man Who Was Arrested for Vi
oiation of Traffic Laws Last Sum
mer Will BE Chief Witness for the
State In Case. 4S

The case of the state against Chief
of Police Bailey Peyton, charged with
assault and battery, is docketed for
trial in county criminal court Friday,
and according to Clerk Jos. It. Ander-
son there was every indication that
the case would go to trial as docket
ed.
The chief witness and prosecutor is
Reuben Chappell, who it will be re.
membered was arrested by Chief Pey.
ton last summer on a charge of vio-
lating the traffic laws of the city. Ac-
cording to Officers Peyton and Lamar
the latter assisting in the arrest,
Chappell was driven to the police sta.
tion and when he was asked to alight
from the buggy he refused to do so,
holding back and apparently making
an effort to secure the Chiefs mace.
After considerable argument, officers
say Chief Peyton struck the arrested
man on the head with his club, and
locked him in cell at the police sta
tion 81
Chappell alleges that the blow
struck by Chief Peyton was absolute,
ly unnecessary, and that he was lock-
ed in a cell with the wound inflicted
by Chief Peyton bleeding profusely,
and that he was allowed to remain in
The cell for some time before being
given medical attention.
The prosecution will be conducted
by Hon. G. Voorhies and the county
attorney, according to plans announc-
ed some time ago, while the defense
of the city will be conducted by City
Attorney Hugh Lee Webster, probably
assisted by w. B. fowler.
1t is expected that the trial will at
tract considerable attention as there
was much discussion of the case at
the time of the arrest.

THETA BRIDGE IS !
OPENED TO TRAFFIC.
STRUCTURE OVER RUTHERFORD
CREEK is AGAIN PRONOUNCED
IN SAFE CONDITION.

l
The bridge over Rutherford Creek
on the Theta pike is again open to
traffic. The repairs have progressed
to such an extent that the engineer In
charge has pronounced the bridge
safe. There is still some work to be
done, but this work will not ifiterfer
with the traffic. Road superintend.
ent Wilkes stated this morning that
he believed that the bridge would
last now for two or three years, may
be a good deal longer unless there
were extraordinary demands made
on it. With the completion this year
of the Jackson highway much OF the
traffic that has been diverted to this
bridge will cease to pass over 1t. The
bridge supports have been strengthen.
ed until 1t is as strong and safe az
when first erected. New .llls and
joinst have been placed in 1t ami all
of the superstructure tightened.
This is but one of the many br dges
in the county in need of repairs, but
the failure of the county court at the
last session to make any appropria-
tion for bridge repairs will necessari-
ly delay that work. Some emergency
work has been done. but the parties
furnishing the materials will have to
wait for an appropriation to get their
money.

Senators Wage
LiDely Fight
On Tariff Bill
(By United Press.)

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE senate
fight over the emergency tariff bill
was out in the open today and had be-
come question of strategy with its
democratic opponents, While Penrose
AND other republican leaders were
pushing for vote.
Democrats were considering two
courses, one was to adopt Senator
Harrison's Hlibuster, now on the elev-
enth day as party movement, while
the other was to aid the republicans
in getting vote and then put on them
the responsibility for the results Of
the measure, which they believe will
again increase the cost of living.
The drawback to the latter course is
that some democrats really favor the
measure.

ONLY TWENTY-THREE LICENSES
ISSUED BY COUNTY CLERK LIPS
COMB UNTIL TODAY.

Just like the merchtnts, the news
paper men and the poor overworked
bank clerks, the right Honorable Dan
iel Cupid has an off day occasionally,
and glance at the records in the
County Court Clerk Lipscomb for the
first days of the present month show
that Dan has had many off days since
January first. In fact the little God
of Love as marksman must have
lost his shooting eye for during the
present month only twenty-three IL
censes have been issued by Clerk
Lipscomb to Maury county couples,
whereas during the month Of January
1920, nearly "a half hundred weddings
were performed in the county, or ex-
actly forty-three.
There is, however, nearly week
for Cupid to do a little fancy shooting
in an effort to reach the mark hung
up in, the corresponding month a year
ago.

A well beaten egg white added to
mashed potatoes, whipping the pota-
toes hard before serving, will add to
the looks and taste Of this dish.
II eggs are placed in cold water for
time before whipping, they will
whip easily.
An egg. well beaten, added to rhu-
barb pies, will thicken the rhubarb
and improve the taste.
If potatoes are boiled for ten min
utes before baking, they will bake
more quickly.
If the white porcelain OF the sink be-
comes stained, wet it and sprinkle
chloride of lime on it. Let stand
about half an hour and 1t will take the
stain OF.
If you use currants, nuts. raisins.
ETC., in a cake or mufins, -four them
we'll and they won't go to the bottom
OF the cake.
If the piano keys are washed with a
soft flannel dipped in alcohol they will
not turn yellow as they do when
washed with water.
Brass bedsteads will keep in much
better condition If occasionally rubbed
over with little sweet oil. After
wards wipe well with dry duster and
polish with chamois.
Oiled and vanished woods should
simply be wiped with flannel cloth,
wr0ng out of warm water. Grained
wood should be washed with cold tea +;
painted wood should be washed in
warm water with few drops Of am
nonia.

~)oKED cheese is far more whole
some than when in its raw state,
especially if prepared over a
moderate heat. Consisting as it does
mostly of caseim substance very
similar to the albumen Of eggs, II be-
comes as tough and leathery as an
overcooked egg when cooked over
high degree of heat.
Thus IL an English cheese pudding
is to be baked, the dish containing it
should be set in pan of hot water
and the temperature OF the water not
allowed to get above the simmering
point, or if any variety of rarebit is
prepared it should stand over hot wa
ter or a very slow fire during the
whole process of cooking.
Because cheese is heavy in texture it
often engenders feeling of safety
before sufficient food has been taken
unless cut" with contrasting acid.
So whenever II enters into the main
