"AASON " AlflEh
Washington, May 22.-(Special.--A story
showing the beautiful human side of
President Harding is being told here
about how he invited e. Jay Edwards,
the famous newspaper writer and author
and former editor Of the New York
Evening Sun, to the Waldorf to luncheon
Mr.. Edwards when he received the
message thought there must be a mis-
take. However, he went over OF course,
there were great many distinguished
people gathered about the President, but
Harry Daugherty. who knew Mr. Ed
wards, called the Presidents attention
TO him, and Mr.. Harding left the group
to which he was talking and gave Mr..
Edwards most cordial greeting
From that time on Mr. Edwards has
been shown great Difference every time
he visits the Bankers club and the Union
League club. Until after the luncheon
the President did not explain why he
had sent for Mr.. Edwards. He finally.
told him that the Marion Star had for a
long time used the Holland letter

HIGH COURTS HAVE
ESTABLISHED NEW
RECORD FOR SPEED
Since Recess Supreme Court
Has Handled Down Decisions
In Nearly Two Hundred
and Fifty Cases

Montgomery, May 22.-(Special)-
Alabama's two appellate courts, the SUI
preme court and court of appeals, have
established new record for the num-
her of cases disposed of since the re-
cess February Z. according to records
of the two courts. Despite the fact that
che courts have had a large number Of
cases and an unusual number of i'm
portant ques tons for decision, they are
up with their work and indications are
that there will be few cases on the
docket when the summer recess begins
June 80.
Since the recess the supreme court
has handed down decisions In nearly
$50 cases, while the court of appeals
has decided all cases except those sub
mitted on the recent calls. In days gone
by many cases have. of necessity, been
carried over from one term to an
other, but 1t is probable that when the
new term begins October l, 1921, the
courts will have decisions In very
small number. because of the fact that
decisions will have been handed down
in the great majority of cases on or be-
fore June 80.
Preference is always given to crimi-
nal cases in order that persons convict
ed of crimes may not be kept in county
jails for a long period. Both courts
are up to the moment with this class OF
cases and there are pending now only
those criminal cases which have been,
submitted during the past few weeks
Investigations show that the supreme
court has decided two cases of supreme
iBportance to the state, one being the
case involving the validity of the
s25,000,00 bond issue for public roads.
1t was held to be invalid because the
legislature permitted the governor to
set the date instead of setting the date
itself, as required by the constitution.
The other decision required the trial of
the nine national guardsmen charged
with the lynching of Will Baird in
Walker county to be held in Marion
county, where the cases were sent on
change of venue. Statewide interest
