TOWN BULLION.
STATE LINE IS
FACING PUZZLE
Citizens Want to Gre.
ate Nesv State of
Tenneua.'
BY ROBERT MCKEE.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Bristol, Va, July 10-This city
has a problem on its hands which
its citizens demand remedied. 1t is
unique in that it is geographical in
character. Half of Bristol is in Vir-
ginia, half in Tennessee. The state
line runs the length of its main
street. In consequence there are
two complete municipal govern
ments; two mayors, two chiefs of
police and SO on down the line to
two dog catchers.
Today an agitation was started
to solve this and at the same time
give added glory to Bristol. 1t is
proposed to seek authority for the
creation of new state. 1t would be
a real one, the advocates say, in
that Virginia would be asked to
cede territory in southwest Vir-
ginia, Tennessee parts of its east
ern lands while Kentucky would he
expected to chip in with some Of
the Cumberland mountain section.
Then Bristol would come into it's
glory, and in the view of it's in
habitants, its proper place in the
world.\ All that is needed is the
state.
Problem is Serious.
The problem of the divided city,
however, is a serious one. For in
stance, negro robs hen coop in
Bristol, Va, and, with a policeman
in hot pursuit he makes a dash for
State street. AS he reaches the
middle of the roadway he comes to
halt. Me may, if he SO desires,
taunt the policeman whose author
ity was limited with the middle of
the thoroughfare. And so long as
he stays across the state line he
cannot be brought back excepting
through the use of extraditiOn pa
pers and visit to the Tennessee
capitol.
Because of this condition there
are upwards Of $50 people, the po-
lice say, on either side of the line
who must stay there. In some re-
spects, however, this is an advan-
tage to the community at large.
Considering the many perplex-
tiles, however, the two cities make
out extremely we'll. The officials
hold joint meetings at intervals and
there is both mutual understand
ing and cooperation. Many prob
lens are solved in this manner and
the municipal laws apply equally,
where possible, throughout the en-
tire city.
Mayor Boosts Plan.
Mayor l.. H. Cannon of Bristol
Tenn, is making a careful study OF
the puzzling factors and is an
ardent advocate of the new state
proposition although he admits i,
will necessitate extended agitation
to secure the needed authority
However, he holds that it would be
just as easy to get authority ceded
by either Tennessee or Virginia Of
enough territory to create the state
as it would be to get them to give
up the section that is part of then
and within the PRESENT city limits
! He called attention today to thu
abandonment some time ago of the
proposal to have the state line
changed for this purpose and in.
sisted that the new state-which hi
suggested might be called Tennevs
would be well worth while Great
ing.

You have been her faithful child.

And only her vacant chair.

But they are gone today.
Our hearts are sad and lonely now.
Our grief too deep to tell,
But time will come, we care not when.
That we may with her dwell

SAYS HER HUSBAND
MADE s5OO,OOOON
HOOCH IN z YEARS
Court Declines to Take Cog
nizance Of Money Made in
Unlawful Way.

Alleging that her husband has made
$500, 900 in the last two years by boot
logging. Mrs. Mary Ajello, OF No. 81
President Street. Brooklyn, in a sepa-
ration suit to-day asked that she BE-
allowed 81 900 month and $500
counsel fees pending the trial OF her
action. The husband, Romeo Ajello,
OF the Arm OF Michele Ajello. Inc,
importers of wines. oils and groceries,
Of No 70 Sedgwick Avenue, through
his attorney denied the bootlegging
charge.
Mrs. Ajello, who is twenty -seven,
and very pretty, says she was married
in August. 1916, and that from then
on until the time they separated her
husband took her out only four times.
In his pockets she alleges she found
the names and addresses of twelve
women. When ne refused to take her
out one night she says after he had
gone she called one of the women on
the phone and explained that Ajello
was married.
"How foolish What do YOU sup
pose | care about that" Mrs. Aiello
says the friend of friend husband re-
piled as she hung up the receiver.
Counsel for the defense said that
the plan was not TO fight the separa-
ton action but to keep it clean. He
said II was absurd to charge his
client with bootlegging. that he might
as we'll be charged with burglary.
Justice May said that in any appli e
cation for allmony the court would
not take cognizance OF the money al
legged to have been made by an illegal
act and this must bc stricken from
the application.
Counsel for the defense said in an
swer to Mrs. Ajellos allegations OF
cruelty and neglect and the charge
that her husband had taken from her
her iewelry that it might be necessary
10 show that the trouble was due 10
Mrs. Ajello's insane jealousy. An
thony +. Tuozzo represented Mr..
Ajello. and Charles e. Russell the
wife. Justice May reserved decision.
