has been "a real sensation here Ill

Republicans have been given the
shock of their lives. BY some hook
or crook" in the absence of Post
master General Will Hays from his
office at Washington, First Assistant
Postmaster General Work took upon
himself the authority of naming the
temporary postmaster of Memphis
The Lilly White" postmaster was on
his way from Washington feeling
happy, where telegram from Wash

present postmaster the appointment
had been held up. Wires and long
distance telephones followed. The
Sunday Commercial Appeal carries
a long story on the subject, of which
the following paragraph is a part:
Bob Church and his activities
came in for a good share of the crit
isims contained in the red hot mes
sages that went sizzling over the
wires. How Bob himself felt about
the matter no one seemed TO care
They were mad through and through
and some of them intima'ed that If
Bob did succeed in having hand in

he and his choice for the office were
going to wish he had failed to put

Revenge was sweet to the Giants
here last week when they grabbed

concluding with Sundays game. The

rescue the game.
Galloway, a youngster flung for
the Giants. he pitched well and has
the ear marks of conner. His sup
port was ragged and largely figur-
ed in his defeat. This gave the
Panthers, a one game lead. The
local tribe came back Saturday
with waters on hill, the little fell

was tucked away for the locals
Stewart, the Panther pitching acc
was on the mound for the visitors
and pitched his usual good game
but his team mates could not SEE
Waters at the time they wanted
him worse and naturally the game
was passed to Dallas.
Big Fred Daniels and Jim Lig

after the first round. The Giant
ran in three runs before Liggin

OFFICERS WHO MISTREAF RACE
CITIZEN FIRED.

Memphis, Tenn, May12.-B. F..
Weaver, who for the past year and a
half served as patrolman on the po-
lice department, has been discharged
for the good of the force. Charges
against the officer grew out of his
alleged mistreatment of a Colored
man named Lawrence Williams, whom
he is accused of striking and other
wise imposing on. White persons
then became interested in the case
and presented the facts available to
Chief Burney, who ordered an inquiry.
Inspector Griffin and Captain Hoyle
and Bowles conducted the investisa-
ton and recommended the release
of Weaver from the department.
Weaver's defense was that Williams
refused to raise his hands when or
dered to do so by the officer.
