Musical Expression of u. S.

"TS jazz but passing melodic fancy
destined 10 pass into that lyric
limbo that shelters the discarded
amusement fads of the dim yester-
day?" Ted Lewis, the jazz genius,
asks the question.
IF you line up with the gentry
who shudder at the sight OF Il well
turned ankle" continues Lewis, who
think that the world is tottcrine on
tho brink of perdition. who think
hat everything that is popular is
wrong. then the day of jazz is
doomed.
ANY novelty in art or music that
leaps into nationwide favor over
night, as did jazz, is always sure TO
draw the critical fire of the blue
noses" says the redoubtable Ted. Il
could cite you instances without end.

GALVESTON BCREAU)

ANNISTON, Ala, Feb.~19.-The $25, ,O0U bequest left in the will of the late Robert E. Garner for a public hos. pital in Anniston will be used for the establishment of tuberculosis sa1i- tarium here, probably duirng the pres ent year. A tentative agreement to that effect has been reached by the board of trustees. On January 24, J. B. Gar. ner, executive of the Garner estate, and who has been made chairman of the board of trustees with E. W. Pruett, W. H. Weatherly, H. H. Montgomery and Charles R. Bell as the other mem- bers, delivered to the city of Anniston a check for the amount left in the will.
 Tuesday the board of trustees re- ceipted the city clerk for the return of the check and another conference will be held shortly in which it is ex- pected a definite plan for beginning op- eration will be decided upon. Decision to utilize the amount left by MT. Gar ner for the tubercular sanitarium was pleasing to a large number of Anniston people who have been in. the midst of the campaign to establish an institu. tion of that kind in Anniston.

SILHOUETTES OF
 STATE CAPITAL
ESTATE CAPITAL BUREAU)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Feb. 19.-An interesting phase of the work of the state pardon board is the manner in which juries reverse their own decisions in numerous cases. The reversal is not done by the jury officially, or under oath, but by members of the jury act ing as individuals. A criminal is tried, convicted. and sentenced with the ut most gravity to specified term, and a few months or years later all, or prac- tically all of the members of the jury which imposed sentence, sign a state ment asserting that it was all mis- take and that the prisoner should be given liberty. Some time ago some bright individual cotceived the idea of getting jerymen to sign petitions for the men they, convicted, and the prac- tice is very much in vogue now, so that it is quite common for the convict's s lawyer to set at least 10 or II of the jurymen who passed on his clients case to sign statements completely reversing their judgment under oath. as members of the jury in deciding that the prisoner should serve whatever sentence was i'm posed upon him.
 Total receipts of the state treasury of the fiscal year ending September 30, 1923, amounted to $1S.692, 1862. 60, of which $1.911 ,543.S9 came from the convict department, according to fig ures contained in the annual report of Treasurer George W. Ellis. Of the total receipts. SS,608, ,023.1O went into the general fund, S29SS,S ,S21 .91 into the educational fund, $917,27315 into the pension fund, $5,9SS, ,OOS.1O into the highway fund and $192, ,236,34 into trust funds. The receipts listed from the convict department included all re- ceipts from that department, from cot. ton mills as we'll as from mines, and not merely the funds derived from the lease system. ,.. --'. The treasurer's report shows that of the sum paid into the state treasury by the various counties from general state tax, soldier, school and poll tax, lief. ferson county paid approximately one fourth. The total was SC, 132, ,396. .62, of which $1,517, ,SS7.93 came from i'm. perial Jefferson The amount paid by Mobile was $407, ,355.73, and by Mont. gomery $297 7.S45.42. Tuscaloosa came fourth with S157, ,764.37; Calhoun was fifth with 14S,901, ,54; Madison sixth with S147, ,2S2.63; Walker seventh with $139.470.O1. The receipts from. coun. ties for licenses, taxes on record of mortgages. hunters licenses, motor ve, hicles and chauffeur licenses and re. demption of lands amount to $2.128,. 049.57, of which Jefferson paid $542,. 515.6O.
