CITIZENS APPEAR
TO FILE OBJECTIONS
Meet With Board of Mayor and Al
dermen Tuesday Night.

Citizens along the lines of the pro-
posed street paving improvements in
Union City met last Tuesday night
to enter protest against the construc-
tion of said streets according to the
plans and specifications published in
this paper. Three petitions were
filed by the citizens of North First
street, signed by a majority of the
citizens north of the N. C. & st. L.
Ry. tracks. Practically all below the
tracks seem to favor the improve
ments. A number of these citizens
were present. Also citizens. living
on both Main and Church streets
were present to protest against the
improvements Addresses were made
by Judge Swiggart, DR.. Miles, DR..
Loring, John T. Walker, A. ]. Corum,
Esq. Gregory, w. ]. Briggs, and there
were numbers of others present who
objected.
An explanation was made by Mr..
Tittsworth, Mr.. Burdick, Mr.. Hopper
and others that the cost set forth in
the ordinances was merely tenta-
tive matter, that it is not to be taken
as a guide of the real cost of con-
tract. The prices in the estimates
ranged from five to six dollars run
ming foot to each property owner af-
fected, whereas the bids made and
rejected were much less than these
figures, and bids yet to be received
would have to be still much lower to
be accepted.
Finally the board passed the ordi-
nances published and proceeded to
call for more bids, upon which the
owners can be heard at the
proper time as to whether or not the
bids meet with approval.

ator. Mr.. Williams is strong sup
porter of General Hannah, having
had a son in the service with him
during the Spanish American War.
The crowd was small but listened
with apparent interest, and frequent
ly applauded the speaker. Quite a
number of ladies were present.
His arraignment of the school lob
by was severe, and he claimed that
Mr.. Peay was fostering it and would
allow his man, Harmed and others to
manage it,. He said next year was
the time for contracting for school
books, and it was big thing.
He criticised Mr.. Peay for not
speaking for Wilson. This is the
home of Colonel Crownover, who is
in charge of the Peay campaign, and
he referred to Mr. Crownover's in
terview in which he claimed that Mr..
Peay supported Wilson in a speech in
his first campaign, but said he want
ed something later and would rather
hear Peay on it in person. He said
he wanted Mr.. Peay to state in his
Knoxville speech what kind of a
Democrat he would appoint to the
United States Senate should he be
elected Governor and vacancy
should occur. Would he appoint
man who had stood by the President
or one who had stood by Lodge and
others? II he is still for the Wilson
principles would he appoint man
of like leanings to the Senate?
The Harding administration came
in for its share of criticism as did
also the State administration under
Governor MISUNDERSTANDING Tennes-
sean.

CUMBERLANDS PLAY
GOOD BALL GAME
Christians Go Down in First Defeat
of Series.

The Cumberlands defeated the
Christians last Friday by the score OF
13 to 6, it being the first game the
Christians have lost since the open
ing of the Sunday School League
The victory put the Cumborlands tied
with the Christians for first place,
each having won and ioet l.
The Christians presented a Grip
pie line up, three of their regular
men being out of the game. Webster,
who has just been released by Cairo,
of the Kitty League, pitched for the
Christians, and pitched much better
game than the score indicates, strik-
ing out 16 men, but he received poor
support from his team mates, who
made IL errors behind him.
The Cumberlands played a fine
game in the field making two double
plays and only one error. Rippy
started off rather bad in the first in
ming. One man had grounded out,
L. Johnson singled to center, Neely
walked and Webster beat out an in
field hit, filling the bases. Then Rip
py struck out Turner and Driskill
grounded out to second for the third
out. He pitched good ball then un-
til the sixth when he weakened and
threw wild-and two singles, base on
balls, hit batsman, and home run
hit by L. johnson with the bases full
netted them five runs. Scott relieved
him and then held the Cumberlands
safe the remainder of the game.

BOOTLECGER SHOT
FATALLY WOUNDED
Officer Finds Still and Two Men in
River Bottom.

Deputy Sheriff o. r. Brinkley, of
| Number Seven, found two men, Chas.
Young and Albert Chapel, operating
still in the Obion River bottom near
| Crockett Monday morning early. The
officer said that young was carrying
gun on his shoulder and raised it
off to shoot, whereupon Brinkley
fired on Young and wounded him.
The shooting took place about sew
en- o'clock and Young died Monday
afternoon about three. Chapel sub
mitted to arrest and was taken to
Jackson and turned over to the Fed
eral officers.
The details related by the Federal
prohibition officer, Mr.. Connie H.
Boyd, who was with officer Brinkley,
Nand raided the still, are as follows:
The officers, Brinkley and Boyd,
went down the river to, find the still,
and when they arrived Chapel and
young man by the name of Bulling-
ton were on the ground. Burlington
was an innocent party whom Chapel
had invited to look at the still. Of
ficer Boyd took Burlington to one
side and Brinkley and Chapel sat
down, the former on log and Chapel
on a limb hanging low. Brinkley
then asked Chapel what time Young
would be there. Chapel replied that
Young would not be there that morn
ing. Just then Brinkley caught sight
of Young who was hid behind some
bushes and foliage, and he said to
Chapel, 81 see Young now" Chapel
dropped from the limb and stretched
himself out on the ground as if ex
pecting trouble. Brinkley got up
and went towards Young. Then
Young drew his gun, which he was
carrying on his shoulder. But Brink
ley was too quick for Young and
fired. Young cried, 20. r., you have
killed me-" He dropped his gun and
reeled but did not fall. He started |
towards his gun, and Boyd warned |
that Young was trying to
pick up his gun to shoot. Finally
Young dropped to the ground and |
went up to him. The shot
from Brinkley's gun entered the side
Of the wounded man under the arm
about eight No. 2 shot
The officers then proceeded to de-
stroy the still. They took Young's
gun, which is a thirty-inch double
barrel gun. Both barrels were load
I'd and the safety was pushed off. I
Chapel, who gave himself up, claimed
he gun belonged to his son, but the
officers told him they were obliged to
Ieep the gun.
The physician who was called to t
risit the wounded man, We under t
tand heard his statement to the eff {
ect that he did not intend to shoot 1

rom his shoulder to drop it. t
The dead man is survived by five c
hildren. He was a well known res t
dent and farmer of Number Seven. i

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 13.-Charges that
the United States has failed to do its
share in aiding the rehabilitation of the

troller of the Currency Crissinger in
an address before the indiana Bankers
Association with the statement that In
the last eight years this country has sent
abroad nearly s22, 900, 100000
There are some people in the United
States" he said who persist that our
country has not done and is not doing
its full part and that the world cannot
be restored and placed on the way TO
prosperity and order without American
assistance.
MY reply to this is broadly that in
the last eight years our country has
made contribution to these ends 50
great that II we ourselves fully appre-
ciated IL, II we were given fair credit
for it by other peoples, il would win us
the bright guerdon OF helpfulness, of
willing cooperation and of splendid un
selfshness."
Mr.. Crissinger summarized American
contributions to the financing Of tho
outside world since August IA, 1914, as
folows
American securities repurchased from
abroad. $4,000. 900. .000 American Cow
ernment loans, $4,000, 100000; interest

rencies bought by America, $500 900. QUO.
The point l am making" he said, "is
that, whether we have received or have

mand for the payment Of 100.000,000

charging the German Government with
bad faith and opinion increases that the
Reparations Commission will be forced
to declare Germany in default. The
general opinion here seems TO be that

Special Cable TO THE NEW YosK HEAnp.

New York Herald Bureau.
Berlin. Sept. Is.
The Belgian minimum demand that
to cover the two reparations payments
due. Germany deposit 100. 100000 marks
gold in a Brussels bank. Is provoking
indignant protest not only in the press
but also by the Deutsche Bank and in
governmental circles. Till to-day the
newspapers had indicated thst solutions
not involving the expectation of Ger
man gold were pending. Officials say
that the Government will not alter It's
refusal to let go part OF the last billion
gold marks reserve even as a guaranty
for the treasury bills to be issued against
reparations.
The aged president of the Reichsbank
sits like a Niebelungen dwarf upon the
heap Of German gold. defending the
hoard against any reduction ever since
the Allies separated the Rechsbank from
the Government to prevent excessive ex-
travagance.
Officials now argue that the Allies can
not act counter to their own previous
demands. The SHINES papers call the
Belgian proposal unacceptable and not
worthy of discussion" Other papers
predict that the deposit of 100.000.000
gold marks would provoke another mark
slump.
This attitude Of desperation, however
does not seem to be entirely warranted
for private German bankers admit that
the gold reserve, whether 100000
marks more or less, has no influence
upon exchange. Probably the Govern
ment will offer to make partial deposit
or gold abroad. 1t Is also rumored that
an Anglo-Dutch private banking group
is prepared to advance the money for
the next payments due

cash and not by means Of a loan by
England to America. Again. America
paid England for ferrying our soldiers
to Europe.
Surely the expenditures mentioned
above should be considered coutribu-
tion by the English in a common cause
and should be set off against any
amount by which England pre- poses
that her gross debt to us should be re-
duced.
IF this subject is treated on the basis
suggested in the Balfour note, equity
and justice would demand that Eng
land, whose territory was not devas-
tated, should reinquish her claim
against Germany for the benefit of the
devastated countries. Then we could
count as a contribution to common
cause that which was spent for NUM-
tions and for fighting purposes in this
country by England. But England, be-
sides paying the balance due on the
loan should repay us, as a contribution
to the common cause, that which we
spent in her country for munitions and
for shipping.
II do not make these remarks in a
spirit of narrow criticism. Nor am l
unmindful of the great sacrifices that
the English people made so nobly and
unstintingly in the world war But I
do believe that those behind the Bal
four note should give full consideration
to all OF the facts involved In the case,
and not make 1t appear that the
United States is ungenerous in her posi-
ton. We were ready and willing to
have gone to the bitter end despite what
the cost might have been to us. We
made no bargain then for our continue
ance in the struggle. And we want
no one to set value upon our contribu-
ton.
In my opinion, 1t Is useless to con-
sder either the German reparation or
the readjustment of the inter-Allied
debts by themselves; because they arc
but two symptoms of disease that
lies deeper
