GONE 40 YEARS:
CONES BACK WITH
OPERA TROUPE

In the cast Of The Bird of Para
disc" which will be presented at the
opera house here on Monday night,
there will appear former Columbian.
He is Mr.. Taylor Carroll, and it has
been forty years since he was in
Columbus.
Forty years ago, when quite
young man, MR. Carroll left Column
bus, and up until this good day he has
not returned to his old home. But
tomorrow, after an absence of four
decades, he comes back to the home
of bis younger days.
Forty years is long time in human
life, and is hitting along in years for
a town or city, for that matter.
During these forty years many
changes have come over Columbus,
and we are sure that when Mr.. Carroll
steps off the train and gets a glimpse
of his old home town he will have to
rub his eyes bit, and maybe he will
look about in wonderment, for during
these forty years Columbus has
stepped along pretty especially
during the past five years, and he will
have to search quite bit for many
Of the old landmarks.
Mr.. Carroll sent letter to his old
friend, Mr.. H. L. Bailey, deputy chan
Gerry clerk, telling him he was with
the :" Bird Of Paradise (" company and
would be in Columbus on Monday. He
expressed a desire to meet and renew
old acquaintance, and he, no doubt
will be greeted most cordially by hi:
old friends of the days of the long
ago.
Mr.. Carroll was a brother Of Mr.
Henry Carroll, who was associated
with Mr. A. ID. Brown in this city, anC
who later founded and became presi
dent of the Hamilton, Brown Shoe Co
Mr.. Carroll was also associated with
Mr.. Brown in the shoe business in st
Louis. He is now deceased.

PLEADS CASE OF
HIGHPHONERATES
SPECIAL AGENT OF PHONE
COMPANY BEFORE THE
CHAMBER BOARD
"A MASS OF DATA
Presented BY OfficiaIs-Increase
In Rates Would Be About
Twenty-Five Per
Cent Here.

With mass of figures and data
Special Agent j. S. Gillentine, Of New
Orleans, representing the Cumber-
land Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany appeared before the board Of
directors Of the Chamber Of Com
merce Thursday night in defense Of
the company's request for an in
crease in telephone rates.
The hearing was granted by the
board at the request of the telephone
company following the announcement
of the intention of the Chamber to
launch petitions here protesting
against the increase IN rates at this
time.
Mr.. Gillentine was accompanied to
Columbus by Mr. R. II. Mullen, the
capable and affable district superin-
tendent of the company at Tupelo.
In defense of the request for in
creased rates Mr.. Gillentine contend
ed that the company must have more
revenue or go into the hands Of a
receiver. In fact, he made the state
ment that unless the rates were
granted the affairs of his company
would pass into the hands of
ceiver in short time.
Mr.. Gillentine stated that all of the
data on the subject are available for
public information at all times, ard
that the company is pursuing a policy
of perfect frankncss in its dealings
with the public, and in support Of its
claims for increased rates.
Mr.. Gillentine stated that the rates
in Columbus ssf zen advanced
in accordance with it's regular and
established policy and basis of rates
on the number Of phones in opera
ton.
1t developed during the hearing
that the proposed advance in rates in
Columbus would be from 1925 for
residence phones to SO, and business
phones from 50 to $5.25. There are
1920 phones in operation in Column
bus and the gross revenue for the
Columbus phone service annually is
approximately $4,000. An increase
of twenty-five per cent would bring
this us to $4,000, approximately.
No action was taken by the board
on account of lack Of a quorum being
present.
While the board has not gone on
record in the matter, it sent Secretary
Stephens to jackson to represent this
community in the protest against the
increase in rates. 1t is practically
certain that the Chamber will register
it's protest against any increase in
rates at this time.
In the hearing Thursday night it
developed that the telephone COM
pany in Mississippi was paying IL
per cent from its gross revenue to
the mother company, the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company
in the form of royalties.

Sprihgtime blossoms are blooming

Springtime news of the stores of Co

INAUGURATION
PLANS SLUMP
Harding's Request Expected
to Cut Expendi-
lures.

MARION, Ohio, Jan. 11.-Confdence
was expressed at Harding headquarters
today that the request of the President
elect that all plans for an inaugural cele-
bration be abandoned would be complied
with Immediately. The message sent by
Senator Harding to Senator Knox, chair
man of the congressional inaugural COM
mittee, and Edward B. Mclean, chairman
Of the national inaugural committee, left
no doubt as to the decided stand taken by
the next President against any extra
preparation or expenditure for this event.
Senator Harding has felt keenly, 1t is
said that any undue expenditure, by
the Federal Government, the States or
by individuals, would III conform with
the plans for economy and elimination Of
waste on which he has laid so much
stress.
TO these considerations were added re-
ports Of exorbitant charges planned for
accommodations and points of vantage
in Washington.
His wishes in the matter, 1t was
pointed out. were made perfectly plain in
his message to Senator Knox in asking
omission Of the parade and ball. He
said
1T will be most pleasing to me TO
have this ceremony take place within the
Capitol or on the east porch without
single extra preparation for the occasion.
This will require no expense and we will
be joint participants in an example of
economy rs well as simplicity which may
be helpful in the process Of seeking our
normal ways once more.

EFFORT MADE TO
OPEN PEASE CASE
Sipe and Engelke Submit
Statements.
Submit

Following the announcement that the
State and Judge Frank J. Lair OF the
Juvenile court would attempt to have the
Appellate Court reconsider the case OF
Charles r. Pease, local contractor, who
was fined 500 and costs and sentenced
to ninety days on the farm, County
Clerk Richard V. S!pe and John f.
Encelke, prosecutor and Investigator Of
the juvenile court, made statements to-
day in their own behalf
The Pease case was reversed last week
by the Appellate Court because there
was no signature OF the prosecutor Of
the Juvenile court on a copy OF the AZ
fdavit In the transcript of the case.
The original affidavit against Pease.
which IS on file in the Juvenile court
shows that It was signed by MIR. Engelke,
and that he swore Lieut.. Robert Woollen
n police officer, to the affidavit.
Il remember swearing Lieutenant
Woollen TO It at the time the affidavit
was made against Pense,'' declared Mr.
Engclke. during q conference with Coun-
~ Clerk Sipe today.
NO one is going f" shift the blame or
this office for a fault in the transcript
as J am sure that the transcript clerk
Included every word Of the affidavit IN
the transcript declared Mr.. Sipe.
PRODUCES OTHER
AFFIDAYITs.
The county clerk then produced three
other aTidavits of the Juvenile court.
One Of them did not contain n seal or the
signature Of the prosecutor; a second one
contained 4 seal but no signature, and
third was not even filled out and did
not contain either n signature or a seal.
Mr.. Eneelke examined the three afIi
davits in question and stated that these
aHidavits were not made out in his
handwriting and that they were disposed
OF on days that he was not IN court.
~ am certain that every affidavit which
I have made out has been properly signed
and attested,' said Mr.. Engeike. These
three afidavits have no bearing on the
Pease case"
Il know that. but It shows the condi
ton Of affldavits coming from the juve-
nile court" stated Mr.. Sipe
The three affidavits now questioned by
Mr.. Slpe are as follows:
Lucy Steele. child neglect, tried Dec. ..
1910. fined $500 and sentenced TO ninety
days. all suspended. There is no seal
or signature TO this affidavit
Anthony Stevens, neglect OF child. case
was dismissed on motion Of State In De
ccmber, 1916. The affidavit part of the
charge is not even made out with no
name to show who filed it and no seal or
signature Of the prosecutor.
Mile Stone, child neglect. found not
guilty March Is, 1917. No seal; no sig
nature
Mr. Engelke states that he had moth
Ing to do with these aflidavits. Judge
Lair instructed Mr.. Engelke to investl-
gate these afhdavits and report to the
court on tho condition of the af1davits
Pease was charged with contributing
to the delinquency of a young girl and
when the charges were filed the case
created much interest. A big effort was
made to keep the story out Of the papers
ut the time, but the efforts failed,
In the meantime, steps are being con-
sldered to petition the Appellate Court
to reopen the case.
