HARTSF|ELD SUIT
 COMES ID STATE COURT OF APPEALS
Briefs Are Submitted on Case involving Salaries of Sher- if and Those of His
 Deputies

Montgomery, February s.-(Spe- cia1. )-The litigation in Jefferson county involving the right of Sheriff J. e. Hartsfield to collect a salary during the remainder of his term and the right of the treasurer to pay salaries to the aherifrs deputies came to the court of appeals Thurs day afternoon and was submitted on briefs in order that an immediate decision may be made.
 The Jefferson circuit court held that Sheriff Hartsfield could not con- tinus to collect a salary of $500 a month because the law which put him on 8 salary basis provided that the salary should come from fees col lected by his department. The sheriff and deputies. according to the show ing, have already collected in sal aries $32,o00 more than the total fees.
 In the case of Steve wiggins. a deputy sheriff, the lower court held that the treasurer would be required to pay his salary of $150 a month. The law provides that in such eases the board of revenue may anticipate the revenue from the sheriff's de- partment and pay the salaries of deputies.
 f. tho high courts hold that Sheriff Hartsfield cannot collect a salary a serious situation will de- yelop in Jefferson county.

 Mfr. Lehman seeks an injunction preventing the board from cancelliag his certificate. Earl Pettus, Birming- ham, who represents Mir. Lehman, es- peeially stressed the alleged inval- idity section which gives the board the right to cancel certificates, contend ing no provision is made for an ap- peal from the decision from the board and defendant has no right to sum mons witnesses in his behalf.
 Judge J. J. Mayfield. special as- sistant attorney general, and F. B. Latady, appeared as attorneys for state, insisting that the act Is valid and contending that the act was passed for the protection of the pup lie.
 During the argument of the state the point was made that practically all states had boards of public ac- countancy similar to the one created in this state.

''The cooperation of the creditors
and stockholders in effecting the
reorganization of the company has
been whole-hearted and gives great
promise for the company's future.
The equities of all classes OF Sc
curity holders and creditors were,
in preparing the plan, given care
full consideration, and the evidence
of its fairness is demonstrated by
the fact that about 80 per cent Of
the stockholders and creditors have
cooperated in its adoption. The
small outstanding creditors and
stockholders are still depositing
their claims, and securities will be
set aside SO that they may secure
the same treatment as those who
have already assented to the plan.
'sT'he plan itself places the COM
pany in strong financial position,
with no current liabilities and a
sufficient working capital to handle
a large volume of business. 1t will
be under the management of men
who have devoted their business
lives to the agricultural, implement
and automobile business.
Condition Is Improved.
During the last year the COM
pany has continued its development
work. improving and simplifying its
line, as a result of which it is in
position to take full advantage of
the improvement in the implement

seems imminent.

new company will meet imme-
diately and in their behalf l be-
speak for it a renewal of the con-
Hdence of the community which the
old company enjoyed for over sixty
years. A further announcement
