Tho 'big fellow" sat propped NJ

m!stic about both, but cheerful.

ability to secure firm grip on til,

more noticeable In making the back

at tho game, may be able to ovcrcorn

SAYS PUBLIC WINS
BY COURT DECISION
Oeveln Calls Rejection Of Judge
Browns Palace Plan Tax
payers Victory"
"EXPENSE NOT JUSTIFIED"

\ victory for the taxpayers is the
way Councilman Devel!n regards the
rejection of the S.. 900 900 "palace of
Justice plans by Judges Audenricl,
Finlcttcr and McCullcn.
President Judge Brown, Of the Nh.
nic!pa. Court, desired Il magnificent
marble structure on the Parkway to
house the various branches of his court.
whose budget within seven years has
.eaped from S3s, 900 to 81 900 600.
The County Commissioners had
charge Of the building plans. which the
Combine members Of Counc!l supported.
An act Of Assembly gave the Common
Pleas Court iurislictio over the erec-
ton Of courthouses, and the Commits
sioHers asked Court No. t to approve
their plans.
Mr.. pevclin. who made almost a lone
fight IN Council against the extrava-
gances OF the Municipal Court, opposed
tic plans at the two public hearings
Common Pleas Court No. ! held to
sound out public opinion.
Congratulates Taxpayer
II think the over -burdened taxpayer
Is to BE congratulated, said Mr.. Dey"-
lin, in that there is not ~ DC sadd.cI
on him the enormous expense of O
building which is in no wise justified
by the position or the character Of
work os the Municipal Court.
Tho court was started as poor
mans refuge with the expectation that
tered throughout the city. 70 which
the people could resort with little in
convenience and expense. Instead az
this, under the regime Of its president.
Judge Brown. It has developed into a
huge machine with employees number
ing nearly 600, and a budget approx
mating 81 900, 600, which figure has
been reached from the initial budget
Of about S3S,O00 some six ar seven
years ago,
is justified. II there IS TO be a sepo-
rate court building. It ought to be one
to house nll the courts, and ! think
the Council should ,ahe a back track
in this whole matter"
In the decision rendered by Presi-
dent Judge Audenred and Judges Fin.
letter and MCC'ullen. i. was asserted
that the financial condition ot the city
rcnders such an expenditure out Of the
question.

for the building. the opinion suggested

Qulred by law before It can be erected,
was made.
Asked 70 cOmmen. on the decision "
H." Judges 70 withhold their approval
of the "Dalnce," Judge Brown said
Il have no comment TO make EXCEPT
to say that the delay Is unfortunate
Any further abatement IN that matter
should come from George +. Holmes,
chairman of the Board Of County Com.
m!ssioners. who are charged with thc
responsibility for building the courr "
Mr., Holmes said he could not dis

Not to Interfere With
Execution of 4 Men

NASHVILLE, Tenn; Feb. 2S.-In
statement issued today in which
he said whether capital punishment
is right or wrong, it is the law of
the land, and men must be made to
know that it will be enforced 80
long as it remains the law" Gov
ernor ALI Taylor Indicated that he
would not interfere in the cases of
John Mcclure, Charles Petree, Tom
Christmas and Otto Stevens under
sentence to die at tomorrow's sun
rise for the murder Of George Lewis
in Anderson county May 80, last.
The governors statement con-
cludes:
ITO shoot a man down is horrible;
to cut his throat in cold blood is
horrible; to tie mems hands behind
them and gag them, and then cut
their threats is unspeakably horri-
BILE. This is the crime for which
the four young men stand convicted.
Lewis, begging for his life, died

warning Of the department says:
1.-THE concensus of opinion OF rep

partment of agriculture is that the
aonly safe policy for the farmers OF
the watermelon districts, mainly the
Carolinas, Georgia, Florida. Alabama
and southeastern Missouri, is to
plant only such an acreage OF water
melons as they can properly care
for and market, devoting their ener-
gies chiefly to the growing or staple
farm crops and the conducting OF
safe and sane policy of dlveyslneo
farm crop and live stock production.

watermelons, not greater than last

the best possible manner to produce
Thigh grade melons. Growers VINO
ARE in doubt about any phase OF
